GUIDE POSTS FOR MOTORISTS.
State Highway Commission is Con-
sidering Them All Thru State.

The State Highway Commission has
under consideration guide signs for
the purpose of marking the State
highway. Engineer Upham is secur-
ing several samples of signs, and is
taking up the question with neighbor-
ing States, to learn their experience
in this work. Thus far, he says, he
has found no sign that is fully de-
sirable. The sign must be one with
letters that can be read at a glance,
conspicuous, durable and of low main
tenance cost. A system of guide
signs is being worked out which will
show not only the distance to the var
ious towns, but also their relative To-
cation along the roads of travel.

MOVE TO PROTECT GAME.
Farmers of Blackbird Hundred to

Blackbird, Dec. 1O-Local land
owners of Blackbird hundred will ask
Representative-elect A. jefferson
Stats of Blackbird hundred to try to
have some special legislation enacted
at the next General Assembly for the
future protection Of game. Many of
the aged farmers of this section think
that with the present game laws like
they are, with open seasons from Nov
ember 10 to December 81, there will
be no game at all in this section in ten
years time. While some farmers
think the open season should only be
fifteen days year, many think the
seasons should be closed entirely for
three years so as to let the game be
restocked. A petition will be handed
Representative-elect Stats to this
effect.

with the DUPONT Boulevard. and ex-
tending across Delaware, to connect
up with the Maryland State roads svs-
TEN at any point for reaching the Dro-

manner.
Much of the corn that is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with a saving in feed
value of stover by substituting ma
chine huskers and shedders for hand
labor. The use of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results in the case
Of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
chinery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used In
many sections where it is now I'M
known or not commonly used. Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed in such a
manner that they can be filled and
emptied with the least possible labor.
For level ground double cribs with
an elevated driveway and approaches
that will enable the loads to be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out of the wagons without
any high pitching are very satisfac-
tory.
