TOWN COUNCIL AIDS OUR
FIREMEN FOR EMERGENCY
PURCHASES 500 FEET OF NEW
GUARANTEED RUBBER HOSE
Also Passes Resolution Authorizing the
Loan Of $4,000 Needed to Pay for
New Fire Engine Equipment

At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council Friday evening, the first meet
ing since early in November, with all
present except Councilman w F.
Keith, report was made of the con-
dition of the Fire Department and
resolution passed loaning $4,000 to
the Citizens Hose Company, the bal
ance due the LaFrance Fire Engine
Company for the handsome triple
combination chemical engine which
arrived here late last November.
Town Council expressed itself as be-
ing much pleased with the equipment
as we'll as the changes that had been
made to the Fire Engine Room. This
brought up the question of the heating
plant and how much better and more
comfortable it was for the firemen to
have a warm place for their head
q arteIs Council suspended business
for a few moments to look at the big
2100 foot boiler anA the steam heat
ing plant recently installed. Along
with this better equipment for the
Fire Department, Council confirmed a
deal made by Secretary H. B Grieves
for 500 feet of new gutta percha rub
ber hose guaranteed to test 400 pound
pressure. The hose was purchased for
$1.25 per foot. This new hose which
has arrived together with the lot pur-
chased sometime ago, puts the Hose
Company in fine shape for any emer-
gency. The engine it was reported
has already served the town good use
and it was not at fire. A week or
more ago the check valve of the hig
pump at the power plant broke and
almost Simultaneous with it the check
valve on the small pump broke. The
town would have been in bad pre-
dicament had not the Fire Engine been
called into service and under it's own
power pumped the water out of the
we'll sufficiently to allow the plumbers
to take out and re-install the repaired
broken valves. Council transacted no
other business but to hear and accept re-
ports and after allowing a batch of
accumulated bills amounting to over
Sc, 900, adjourned.

LAWS NEEDED IN DELAWARE
Governor Miller in His Message Sug-
gests Better Motor Laws and Re-
quire All Teams to Carry Light

Governor Miller's message to the
General Assembly was read last Thurs
day at a joint session of the House
and Senate, held especially for that
purpose. The message was vigorous
in its treatment of the needs of Della
ware and was received with applause.
Governor Miller suggested among
other things: Establishment of syste-
matte financial plan: that States
revenue be placed on more stable basis;
enactment of a workmen's compensa-
tiOn law; improvement of the States
educational system, with additional
revenue; adequate educational facili-
ties for foreign-born adults; that
full consideration be shown Delaware
College and the Women's College;
Appropriation for State Library Com
mission; amending motor vehicle laws
in some minor particulars--reIatiVe
to DINNERS, requiring use of mirrors,
lights on all vehicles using the roads
at night, making heavier punishment,
for theft)Of cars. prohibiting constables
receiving fees for violations, without
a hearing before a magistrate, max
ing change in dealers licenses and
restoring full reciprocity with other
States; automatic provision of funds
with which to cope with livestock and
crop diseases which might become
epidemic, as we'll as epidemics among
people; legislation with respect to
the care of tuberrular patients; the
acquiring of an additional experiment
farm, to be located in Sussex: more
money for the patrol boat crew; re-
due ing the number of justices of the
peace; better pay for attorney gen
erals deputies; requiring officials to
furnish corporation bond; the enlarg-
ing of the State House; making the
State auditor comptroller; adequate
financial provision for the States in
sane and feeble minded; consideration
be given the Delaware Industrial
School for Girls, the Ferris Industrial
School and the Juvenile Cou.t of Will
mington; that there be some legisla-
tion with respect to primary elections
comforting upon the governor the right
to remove officeholders for cause, Civ.
ing the latter a right to appeal to the
court; that changes be made in the
military law so as to conform with the
national regulations; that additiona
armory facilities be prov ided; that
State officials turn all fees into the
State and he placed on salary basis.

BIG CORN YIELDsABOVE SMYRNA
Section About Odessa the Most Prolific
of Probably Any in the State

Section About Odessa the Most Prolific
of Probably Any in the State
A delegation of farmers from around
Odessa attended the annual session of
the Delaware Corn Growers Associa-
tion, at Dover last week. Each year
since the organization of the associa-
tion, the state prize of 5000 has been
won by Alonzo Whittock, on the Odessa
farm of Mrs. james p. Hoffecker Of
Smyrna, James T. Shallcross, also of
Odessa, close second. Mr.. Shallcross
this year won the county prize. Mr..
Whittock's yield this year for the
state prize was 116 bushels per acre,
with Mr. Shallcross little more than
100 bushels per acre. Mr.. Shallcross
each year for the past three years has
sold on an average of 1900 bushels
of seed corn, at prices ranging from
81. SO to SO bushel, and has a con-
tract with one seed firm for L, 100
bushels and a deal on for 1, 600 bushels
with another firm. Probably two
thirds of the corn raised in Delaware
is grown in New Castle county, and
the section comprising St. Georges
hundred is the leading section. The
corn crop of the state this year may
be, if prices maintain, worth six
or seven millions of dollars. I'm 1914
it was worth 81, 397, 900. The farm
ers around Middletown have in nine
years mace rapid strides in the grow
ing of corn, due to the greater part to
the interest stimulated by the Della
ware Corn Growers Association The
estimated acreage of :orn grown in
Delaware in 1914 was 1877. 600 acres,
and the object of the association was
to increase the yield at least one bushel
per acre, and if the improvement in
other parts of the state are as notice
able as they are in st. Georges hun
dred, the increase is far above that.

TOMATO GROWERS WANT MORE
Talking of Higher Prices AIready-Too
Much Uncertainty in Tomato Crop

Talking of Higher Prices AIready-Too
Much Uncertainty in Tomato Crop
Following their usual custom each
year, tomato growers in and around
Georgetown are talking of a higher
price for that vegetable the coming
season. They claim that there is no
money in growing them at the prices
obtained for the past two or three
years when it is taken into considera-
tion that they have to lay out of the
use of several acres of ground and the
uncertainty of the crop, which has not
been up to the standard for the past
summers. They contend that the risk
of the crop is great, especially if the
season is wet, and they are unable to
save money from it as the vegetable
comes on at a time when they are
busy with other farm work. If blight
does not affect the fields and heavy
rains and hot suns do not scald them,
they are able to realize some money
from the crop, but that risk has to
be run.
