SAVED NEEDED SUGAR CROPS
How Lizards, Frogs and Toads Came
to the Rescue of the Threat
ened Cane.

Lizards and toadS by the thousands
are being sought and employed in the
production of sugar can in the West
Indian islands, says a writer in Our
Dumb Animals. They have proved
to be the best means for combating
the f~roghoppers which have long in
tested the cane fields and greatly cur
tailed the sugar crops.
A few years ago so great had be-
come the damage to the cane by the
hoppers that entomOlogistS and my
cologists were called upon to study
the situation and devise methods to
prevent the destruction which had
caused the loss of thousands of dol
lars annually to the sugar growers.
A remedy was quickly discovered. In
the districts badly infested by the frog
hoppers there was an almost total alb
stace of lizards, frogs and toadS. To
introduce these creatures and to en-
courage their increase was obviously
necessary to save the sugar crops,
Lizards were obtained from other
parts and liberated in the cane fields
with the result that the f~roghoppers
have almost entirely disappeared. the
canes are fl%Ourishing and the sugar
yield has largely increased in quantity
aud improved in quality.

men who made it should be sent to

legislature.
The assessors and collectors are
elected the second Tuesday in Novem-
Der and take office January l. The
law directs that assessors tax property
at the valuation October /, three
months before he becomes assessor
and have the assessment completed by
January 10th, ten days after he enters
office.
Formerly the assessors met once or
twice at the county seat and figured
the rate. Now the County Board of
Taxation has from January 10th to
March 10th to figure the rate. For
merly the assessor had six weeks to
figure the taxes, now he has from
March 10th to April 1. Formerly the
collector got his tax bills delivered by
November l. Now he has until May
18th, and the taxpayer has only Is
days to pay his taxes. The farmers
have not all their crops planted by June
LIST, so how are they to get money
from the ground to pay half their
taxes on June LIST.
Then there is another wait until De-
cember LIST to pay the other half which
have been assessed fourteen months
previous.
Then the collector is required to
make discounts and have an elaborate
tax bill and report with no provision
for publication weeks after his term
expires and months before the next
election.
After people run into this new tax
law we venture to say they will wish
the legislators who made it were put
into an insane asylum.
Ever since the adjustment of spring
elections and doing away with the
people voting on appropriations taxes
have mounted higher and higher be-
cause they cannot be held yearly and
directly accountable to the people.

Will Entertain Employees

One of the biggest "get together
parties yet given by the dupont Com
pany is planned for Atlantic City, on
Wednesday and Thursday, May 18th
and 18th. At that time the company

chemical workers of the Hagley Yard,
at Henry Clay, just outside of Will
mington; the Jackson Laboratory, at
Carneys Point, N. j.; the Eastern Lab
oratory at Gibbstown, N. j.; the Pyra-
lin plant at Arlington, N. j., and a

The Hotel Traymore, at Atlantic
City, has been leased in its entirety,
it is understood, by the company to
accommodate the party. The chemists
and other employees will meet during
the day to discuss dye making, includ-
ing such abstruse subjects as milady's
taste in a or Siamese pink, how
the Germans formerly made their col
ors and the French continue to do SO
and many other vexing but solvable
problems connected with pigmatlc re-
production of the rainbow OF the
spectrum.
During their idle moments there will
be entertainments of varied nature, in
GLIDING parties to the Boardwalk at
fractions and piers and, maybe, If the
weather be sufficiently warm, dips IN

company plans a banquet.
Special trains will carry the mem
bers of the party from Wilmington.

SOLDIERS ARE MADE CITIZENS
Seventeen Men From Delaware General
Ordnance Depot Naturalized


Seventeen soldiers from the Della
ware General Ordnance Depot, Perkin-
town, this county, received their citi-
zen's papers in the Salem County
Courts last Friday morning, and it was
a happy bunch that departed from the
county seat.
All the men were foreign born but
had served with the United States
forces in the World War. They went
to Salem under command of Lieuten-
ant Collins and their papers were pre-
pared for them by County Clerk Har-
ris, Deputy Clerk Ballinger and a Dep
uty from the Philadelphia branch of
the United States Naturalization
Service.
After the mar had subscribed to the
oath OF allegiance to the United States,
Judge Washington addressed them.
he said 1t gave him great pleasure to
welcome them as citizens of the United
States and hoped they would not for
get the oath they had taken. He urg-
ed that they become familiar with the
customs in this country, it's laws and
live as all good citizens should so there
will never be any stain upon their
characters. He also declared hat #
was a duty that they should not forget
to take part in all elections to see that
the best men are selected for office and
to read and keep in touch with what
the government is doing for it's citi-
zens. This they. promised to do.
1t was announced that all the men
are ~stevedores at the Ordnance Depot
but that many of them are to be dis
charged before the first of April.

NOTICE

We are going to run our canning fac
tory at Salem this year. AS we don't
know at this time what we may be
able to pay for either Tomatoes or
Squash, any price set now would be a
guess. So we have decided to get in
cans and make all other arrangements,
and to operate on the market for both
Tomatoes and Squash and will make
either cash or weekly settlements for
Tomatoes. viii have Tomato seeds for
sale in a few days. Squash seed later.
