MORE noise
Than BOOZE
This is Opinion of w. Trux-
ton Boyce, States Pro-
hibition Director
TELLSOFCONFERENCE
IN WASHINGTON

ITS my firm conviction that much
Of the talk about booze coming back
is merest twaddle, remarked W.
TruxtOn BOyce. prohibition director
for Delaware, at his office, the En-
gineer Building, Sixth and King streets
today. Mr.. Boyce returned Saturday
afternoon from Washington, where he
attended a conference Of II State
prohibition directors.
1T was highly significant that only
~ out Of the entire 4S State directors
were summoned TO the conference"
continued Mr.. BOyce. IN other words,
prohibition is working all right IN
the remaining sc. Then. too, when
each director was called upon to
make an individual report, two States,
Michigan and Delaware, announced
there was no difilculty in their re-
spective boundaries.
Directors Of the remaining "a States
reported generally that they had
found little or no change in the public
sentiment against liquor. OF course.
they said, a good deal OF noise and
kicking was being made by wet
men; but on the whole the great ma
jority Of people had accepted the dry
scheme OF things with equanimlty
and were apparently content.
ut should not be forgotten that
when the present provisions were
made for the enforcement Of the
Eighteenth amendment through the
Volstead act, continued Mr.. Boyce
there was no previous experience
from which TO draw, except that In
| States which had gone dry individual
/ ly. Naturally, there was some con-
| fusion, some leaks here and there
and need Of checking up. But on
comparison OF our experiences anC
opinions, we found the VOlstead ac
was generally being. obeyed and ther,
was more noise than liquor belni
| poured forth.
we all OF us also gained mucl
| from hearing ~ each others methods
in coping with the different problems
which have arisen in prosecution o
our duties, and we all will be bette
able TO meet any situations whic.
may arise"
Mr.. Boyce was asked if he had an,

but at present do not care to sa

AMERICAS FRUIT, THE APPLE

Americans are coming to treat ap-
ples more IA q food and less as
between-meals superfluity than they
used to do, yet when the north wind
blows and the fireside glows they
can't refrain from paying especial at
tention to the question whether there
is a plenty Of them. This year. the
farm reports tells us, there Is not.
There are, in the whole country.
1901 600 barrels fewer than there
were in 1918. and almost the same
shortage from the crop Of 1916,
though we are considerably better of
than we were in 1917. That Is, we
We 24,OOO,OOO barrels this year.
That's about one for each family In
the country, and each family, not each
member thereof, might, II they were
evenly distributed, have one apple a
day. The true lover Of apples will
never admit this to be sufficient, and
he should not.
1t is not especially cheering. to
learn that the country's crop Of Jap
pies does not tend to increase. Our
record crop. was in 1912. but we had
almost as many in 1895, and the crop
IN 1895 was greater than that in

Col. George Baxter. the famous Hol-
stein auctioneer of New York, wires
that he will be on hand to take charge
of the pure bred Holstein bull calf sale
to be held at Mlddletown at 90 o'clock
Friday, March 5, where thirty head Of
high-class Holstein bull calves will 60
under the hammer.
This pure bred bull sale, tie purpose
of which is to supplant the grade and
scrub bulls of the state with pure breds,
has set many Delaware farmers to
thinking.
WHY HAVE PURE BRED BULL
Why should have pure bred bull at
the head of my herd +? This is ques
ton that every farmer should ask him.
self ut this time and strive to answer it
conscientiousiy as it pertains to his own
business.
The question as to whether there is
need for better sires in the State is
superfluous, as recent bull survey in
New Castle County showed that 92%
of the bulls are grades and scrubs.
When it is considered that there are
$500 farms in New Castle County and
1000 IN the State it is evident that
there is an infinite field in which to
work along these lines.
1T is ECONOMICAL
In the first place the use of pure
bred bull is econo lical The following
abstract taken from a pan phlet issued
by the Holsten- Friesian Association of
Middletown transcript., 1920-02-28

he saw something move. One moment
he stared. and his keen eyes distin-
guished rhs silver fox from its Icy
background
"With steellike steadiness Pierre
raised his rifle and sighted. A squirt
Of flame cracked the frosty air and
shattered the white silence into mil
lion echoes. The next moment Pierre
was stumbling madly across the snow
to where growing red blotch showed
clearer than the fox. The trapper
fell to his knees by the dead animal
and examined it most reverently, run
ming his fingers through the silky fur
with the tenderness of connoisseur.
Fortune of fortunes! There was not
even a blemish; the bullet had passed
into the brain through the eye"
Middletown transcript., 1920-02-28

on the fingers of one hand the number
of times that they were invited to look
at herd where there was not pure
bred bull somewhere around.
1t is satisfaction to own a good
herd of cattle. After all, the main
thing we get out of life IS satisfaction
and the knowledge that we are doing
something worth while. From this
standpoint, the farmer who has the
we'll bred herd is bountifully rewarded.
1T Is THE RIGHT THING TO DO
Get the community spirit. It is no.
ticeable that the best farmers are those
who have the community spirit, that is,
those farmers who are interested IN inn
proving the farming conditions of their
community. They not only own pure
bred bull and we'll bred herd. but they
are concerned that their neighbor has
one equally as good. They appreciate
that ultimately it is going to make for
better dairy industry IN the communi-
ty and better market for dairy pro-
ducts and dairy cattle.
The Delaware H0lstein- Friesian As
sociation and the County Farm Bureaus
are exerting every effort to supplant |
the grade and scrub bulls Of Delaware
with pure breds. Get the spirit of the |
campaign. Get this slogan SO deep in
your mind that you can't forget it, "a
pure bred bull on every farm" After
you get one yourself, see to it that your
neighbor has one.
Middletown transcript., 1920-02-28

America will corroborate this state
ment, 'Tbe average of all the records
made by first generation heifers, sired
b., pure bred sire, shows an increase
Of 2987. 81 lbs. milk, or 80 per cent. in
milk. and SO. so lbs. fat or SO per cent.
in fat, over the record of their scrub
dams "
It is interesting to quote further from
this same pamphlet, ''Just suppose that
a bull sires but ten daughters averaging
over their dams no better than the
poorest of these four hundred twenty
one daughters on which the experiment
was conducted. This poorest bettered
her dam by 1000 lbs milk per year,
easily worth 1872; and ten such cows
would better the yearly income by $500.
But cow is milked fer six or seven
years, and the ten cows would in that
time better their dams by at least ST.
coo. If bull bought for $500 brings in
So. 900, does he paw =? What is the real
value of good bull that slres for his
owners possibly 200 daughters during
his lifetime %
1T is SATISFACTION
Like begets like" The man who
has a pure bred sire generally has
good herd. The three County Agents
in Delaware during the year 1919 made
LIZA farm visits. During those visits
they had the pleasure of being invited
to look at dozens of herds. 1t is sig
nal fact, however, that one could count
