PIGS KILLED BY POISON

In response to a call from the east
ern side of the County, Dr. ZurkOw,
of the State Board of Agriculture,
specialist in animal diseases. and the
County Agent made post mortem ex-
animation on pigs which had died for
some unknown reason. Upon exam
nation, DR.. Zurkow pronounced the
cause a case of cockle-burr poisoning,
sometimes known as the sheep-burr.
A total of seven had been lost, as a
result of eating the young cOckle-burr
plants just as the first two leaves ap-
pear above the ground. These young
plants. at. this stage Of growth, are
very poisonous and attract the young
animals after they once get a taste of
them, going long distances in search
for it. The remedy would simply be
to keep the pigs in a lot or pen until
the cockle-burrs have outgrown the
first leaves, after which there should
be no danger OF this kind Of poisoning.

the Governor headed the procession.
followed by about sixty decorated ma
chimes. The fredericksburg band was
present and rendered music during
the afternoon. The presentation OF

post office by Governor john G. Town
send. Jr., in a stirring address, follow
ed by its acceptance by Mrs. MacAllen'
a Bridgeville lady .whO led the cam
paign for the Loan in the town. Ad-

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT IT ?

When you read about American
troops going into action on the west
ern front, do you feel as if your job
is tame in comparison? Do you long
to throw down your tools and join
them? You do if you have real red
blood in you.
But perhaps you can't join them
Perhaps you are too old or have de-
pendants. Perhaps you are working
on a farm or doing some other thing
which the Government feels is very
important and should not be neglect
ed. If you are. just remember that
YOU have an important job back Of
the lines, and then go ahead and make
it Just as important as you know how.
Fight the Hun at home as you would
like to fight them in Europe. Fight
for big crops. so that the boys on the
line may have plenty Of food. Fight
time on any job which you may have
so that Uncle Sam may throw a per
feet deluge of material against the
European barbarian. Buy Liberty
Bonds; talk War Stamps live,
dream and think OF nothing but how
20 make this real big venture Of our
lives go-and go big.

"RATTLER" USERS FINED

A. c. Dillahay, state game warden,
came to Milford very quietly and char
tered a launch and made a trip down
the MisspilHon river to the surprise OF
the shad fishermen. who for several
years are said to have been violating
the fishing law by using what is
known as The Rantler" on their boats.
This device makes a noise that
frightens the fish so badly that they
go into large schools. then the fisher
men haul their nets around them,
catching as many as one hundred shad
in one haul. Monday night the war
den got close to the fishermen and
saw them and caused them to pull
their boats ashore and be placed un-
der arrest. Tuesday morning he
brought them before Justice Hendrix
son, who fined each OF them $40 and
costs, with advice not to repeat the
act.
Warden Dillihay left here for Lewes
where he said a number of other cases
would be heard there. He has given
notice that he will break up all viO-
lations of the law.

Of the early northern crop. Both the
cannery and market tomato crop holds

ment in labor and fertilizer needed
to grow the crop.
