Du POINTS TO MAKE DYEsTUFFs
Powder Company Announces Plans as
Result of Long Chemical investigation

Powder Company Announces Plans as
Result of Long Chemical investigation
Announcements was made Monday
by the DUPONT Powder Company that
it was ready to enter the coal tar dye
industry. Its plans include the manu-
facture of synthetic dyestuffs and
kindred products. The company had
been investigating the dye situation
for long time. When the foreign
supply was cut off it redoubled it's
efforts, and success, from laboratory
standpoint, was soon attained. There
remained only to find the solution of
the commercial problems involved,
and this, apparently, has been found.
Explosive-making plants and dye-mak-
ing plants are. to large exent, in
terchangesble. Many products that
are classed as intermediates in the dye
industry are used in the explosive in
dustry as we'll, which means the COM
pany can begin the manufacture at an
early date. The cOmpany's announce
ment says the manufacture is to be
undertaken in 'broad and compre-
hansive way"

SUSSEX COUNTY CROPS

Grain Improved RapIdIY-Rutabagas
Sent to 8oston-Other Crop Notes
Sussex farmers are turning their
attention more every year to raising
vegetables and truck. One of these
crops is the turnip, a carload of the
rutabaga variety being shipped by
the Penisular Produce 1nange.
through their representative, J. o..
Byrd, at Seaford Thursday. They
went to Boston and were qouted at
from 81. so to So a barrel. Despite
the gloomy outlook of a few weeks
ago, farmers in that section have
about made up their minds that the
wheat will be almost up to the usual
standard. Greater improvements
than have been made in the appear
ance of the crop were never known.
The intermittent rains and warm suns
have caused the straw to grow, and
the heads to come out in good shape.
With the strawberry crop practi-
cally to an end, fruit growers are now
directing their attention to gathering
the blackberry crop which is said tc
be exceptionally good in all sections
where they are grown. There is pos.
sibly no districts in lower Delaware
that raises more blackberries thar
Cedar Creek and Little Creek hun
dreds, the main shipping points being
Lincoln City, Laurel, Delmar, anC
Seaford.
While SeafOrd is in the Fifth Re.
preventative district, yet many of the
growers haul their produce there from
the adjoining districts.
At the present time growers are
getting ten cents box for them ant
there is every Indication that tn
price will remain stationary for {
time, if there is not a rise in tn
market within the next week or tel
days. One of the largest shipping
points in the county for several year
was Georgetown, but for the pas
few years farmers have abandone
the culture until today not one tent
of the acreage is grown. High price
for the past two seasons has had
tendency to stimulate interest j
growing them.

STRAWBERRY CROP OF 1917
Considerably Larger Than Last Year
Reported Not Profitable

Considerably Larger Than Last Year
Reported Not Profitable
Just why the Delaware strawberry
crop did not pay the growers any bet
ter this year is not very clear. 1t is
true that the crop was large, ship
meut to date heing about two million
quarts in excess of those up to the
corresponding date last year. At first
it was thought that the fruit was not
distributed widely enough. but if so
the fault was soon corrected and ship
ments were we'll distributed in all the
Eastern markets. As an example,
the reports as made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that on June 13, 261 carloads
were shipped from the Peninsula, and
of these Boston received 43 cars
Rochester, N. Y, 80 cars; New York
City. % cars; PittsDurg, % cars
Buffalo. IA cars; Providence, 10 cars,
Detroit, Mich, 10 cars; and ship
ments were made to many towns in
New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets and other New England States.
One car went to Bang or, Me-; two
to Toledo, o.. seven cars were ship
ped into the Province of Ontario; one
went to South Carolina; one to Chi
eago and one to Youngstown, o. Dur.
ing number of days. especially neal
the close nf the season, the rains were
excessive and many of the berrie:
became too ripe and soft. 1t always
happens that the third picking of any
variety is smaller and more unever
IN quality and appearance than the
first and second picking of the same
variety and. therefore they bring {
smaller price. The price for fine
fruit during the whole season was
high enough to allow a margin O
profit after paying all the expenses
of growing and marketing the crop.
1t is possible that the high price
of the more substantial articles o
food, such as bread. meats and al
vegetables, lessened the demand fo
Strawberries.

The Jamison Will Case

The famous Jamison will case,
which has been pending in the United
States District Court in Wilmington
for the past twenty years and which
had previously been aired in every
court in this State, was terminated
by an opinion handed down by Judge
Ewdard G. Bradford Tuesday. The
Jamison case was brought by Catherine
P. Mathieson and Vesta Bastian,
granddaughter of Thomas Jamison,
deceased, against Thomas j. Cravin,
executor and trustees of the Jamison
estates, and Mrs. Eliza Green, Law
renee and Martha Lofand and John
Frank Biggs. The opinion settles a
case in which $45, 9O6. 62 was in
volved, representing the principal and
interest.
The final decree entered Tuesday
sets forth that under the will SIG, 00O
is chargeable as liens against certain
shares in three large farms in New
Castle county. with interest from
May 1, 1886. OF this sum, it is SCI
forth that $3825. 54 is a lien against
the Jamison Corner Farm, owned by
Mrs. Eliza Green; $9563. 81 on th'
Capelle farm, owned by Lawrence ant
Martha Lofland, and S32. 517.21 OF
the Homestead farm, owned by Johr
Frank Biggs.
1t is set forth in the decree that
one-half of these sums is to be givel
to each of the complsinants and it i
further decreed that unless the anne
is paid within sixty days, the thre
farms shall be sold by the Unite
States marshal after notice of tn
sale have been published, as require
by law.

FARMERS LEARN METHOD TO
COMBAT GRANARY WEEVIL
LARGE ATTENDANCE FARMERS
AT KENT COUNTY ALMSHOUSE
Spraying and Keeping Wheat and Corn
Separated Shown to be Important
Never Let WeeVil Get HeadwaY

Separated Shown to be Important
Never Let Weevil Get HeadwaY
In various parts of Kent county
demonstration meetings are being
held to show how the granary weevil
can be driven from the granary be-
fore putting in the wheat and how to
control the weevil after it is in the
wheat. On last Saturday, June 80,
a demonstration was given at the
Kent county almshouse, west of
Wyoming. 1t is possible to prevent
loss due to weevil infection and con-
sidering the present scarcity of wheat
it will be unpatriotic for farmer to
allow any wheat to be destroyed when
this loss can be prevented at a small
cost. Granaries for wheat should
never be located over or alongside of
corn cribs. as the weevil is held over
in the corn and when the wheat is
placed in the bin the weevil flies to
the wheat, lays it's eggs and soon
myriad of small white worms appear.
The fact still remains that most of
the wheat bins are located over the
corn cribs and probably will always
be there. If that is the case and
there is not a very large amount of
corn in the crib. remove the corn and
spray both the corn crib and the gran
ary with crude carbolic 1 part to 4
parts of gasoline. Crude carbolic
costs 25 cents quart and gasoline &c
cents gallon. Two parts of car
bolic and two gallons of gasoline will
be sufficient to spray an average sized
granary. Even if the corn is still
in the crib under the wheat granary,
spraying the granary will be of con-
siderable benefit. When the weevi
begins tc work in the wheat, place
carbon bisulphide in shallow pans or
top Of the wheat and cover the biz
with canvas or sacks. One pint Of
bisulphide will be sufficient for about
100 bushels of grain. If the weevi
is present in large numbers it is best
to use more of the carbon bisnlphide
Remember-begin now and never lie
the weevil take you by surprise.
