In addition to the several hundred

One would naturally suppose that,
with the constantly increasing cost of
living during the last few years, es-
pecially since the United States en-
tered the war, there would be an auto

II is VIGOROUSLY true that an increas-

condition is plainly not wholesome.

tional prominence will address the

UPSTATE BID FOR TOMATOES

Gamers of Townsend and Middletown
Are Offering $25 Per Ton on Contract
Representative of the canning
companies are now busy up the State
getting their 1913 contracts signed
with the farmers for the coming pack
of sugar corn; Wright & Co. of Town
send, had a meeting of the farmers on
Saturday last, as did Middleton & Co.
of the Arsmtrong's Corner cannery.
A meeting of farmers will be held at
Middletown on Saturday next, when
representative of Baker & Co. will
meet them. The price for tomatoes
this year is $25 per ton, and it is
thought that at that price the acreage
will be less than last year. Many
farmers will plant some, but sll will
not plant their usual amount. The
labor shortage is causing much anxiety
among the farmers, and makes them
timid about making contracts. An
offer of $25 per ton for tomatoes was
made at Townsend by Wright & Co. s
representative, but there were no
takers. Many said they would con-
tract for so cents per basket, but
would not plant for less.

TESTING SEED CORN VARIETIES
Meetings Being Held in Kent County TO
Acquaint Farmers With Method
Effort to Get Good Seed Here

The tests of seed corn made by
Prof. Grantham show that there is
considerable poor seed corn in the
state this year. Samples from seed
corn that looked apparently Of good
termination have been found in some
cases to run as low as 65 percent
which was fit for seed. The extremely
cold winter has ruined the termination
of much of the corn which was put
in the crib in a damp condition.
Some of the corn which to all ap-
pearances looks good is not testing
out we'll so to be on the safe side it
will be we'll to make a preliminary
test. 1t takes so little time to be as
sured of having good seed corn for
planting that there will be no excuse
for any farmer planting seed that will
not give a good stand. In order to
take up this matter in detail Farm
Bureau meetings are being held in
various parts of the county so that
the farmers may learn simple method
of testing and be able to go ahead and
test every ear of seed corn used if the
preliminary tests shows this to be
necessary. County Agent Zimmerley
will be in his office Saturdays to give
instruction in making termination
tests and in keeping farm accounts.
There are only a few farm record
books left and those who desire one
had better call soon. The following
is a schedule of meetings to be held
at 40 p. m. /: Monday, March 25,
Smyrna; Tuesday, March 26, Ches-

HOG CHOLERA ABOUT SMYRNA

Several Cases Reported at Duck Greek
and Government Urges Prompt Action
Several cases of active and virulent
hog cholera have been found at Duck
Creek T.lis will spread rapidly in
the neighborhood as it has done at
Middletown unless proper measures
are taken to check it. All that is asked
the hog owner to do is report all cases
of sick hogs to Dover office. The Fed
eral Government and State will bear
the expense for the Investigations OF
sick hogs. In the neighborhood of the
outbreak it is best to have all the
we'll hogs immunized. The Govern
ment is prepared to demonstrate the
value of vaccination as a protection
against hog cholera. 1t does not pay
now adays to be a chrome skeptic and
lose your hogs trying out grandfathers
pet remedies or someone's patent
medicine. Serum vaccination will
protect hogs for life against cholera
but neither serum nor any drugs will
cure the disease. The U. S. Bureau
of Animal Industry advises vaccins-
tion of all hogs in the neighborhood of
Duck Creek as the safest way to pro-
tect your next years meat supply.
For further information apply to the
Bureau OF Animal Industry at Dover
or to Prof. Webb at the State House.
