Candle grease spots can be cas-
lily removed by applying blotting
paper both over and under the
spot and applying a warm iron.
Oil spots on linen frequently can
be removed by applying an alb
sorbent such as flour. Spread over
spot and allow 1t to remain for
several hours. The process can
be FASTENED by placing blotting
paper or a cloth over the powder
and applying a warm iron. The
iron must not be hot enough to
burn the fabric and should be left
on until cold.

Watch Last Years Pests

In getting ready to make garden
this spring, it is an excellent plan to
see that all the stalks of last years
vegetables which may have been left
standing are removed and burned.
In the first place the ashes will
make good fertilizer as the stems OF
nearly all vegetables contain excel
lent fertilizing material in their ash,
and an even more important consid-
GRAFTON is that by removing and de-
stroying them the insect pests are
likely to be checked.
Many insect pests find refuge under
boards, among the dried leaves or
stalks over winter. Often the spores
of fungus diseases which create havoc
are only waiting in these old stems
to get into action with balmy weather.
By burning the refuse great guam
tity of them will be destroyed.
1t is a good plan when ordering
seed for the early garden to lay in
a supply of insecticides and bordeaux
mixture for fungus pests, along with
the seeds, as they will be found
catalogued in the seed catalogs anC
will be on hand ready for ar
emergency.

At the Playhouse

Eugene G. O'NeilPs masterpiece,
"The Emperor jones'" comes to The
Playhouse three days starting Thurs
day, March 9, with a Saturday mat
inee with Charles S. Gilpin in the
title role, supported by the Province
town Players, under the management
of Adolph Klauber. No changes have
been in cast or production since the
piece made it's sensational success IN
New York last year. Any advance
description of this unique production
is bound to be inadequae. Nothing
like it has ever been written or pro-
duced and probably nothing ever will
be again. The play makes startling
reading in it's published book form,
but when interpreted through the
medium of the splendid art of Charles
S. Gilpin it touches heights which
prove revelation to the playgoer.
Members of Gilpin's supporting COM
pany include Cecil Clovelly, Elizabeth
Brown, Florence Burnsmore, Clement
OLoughlen, Samuel Amdurs, Bernard
PRYOR, Mathew Shields, Jr. and others.
The play is in eight fantastically
staged scenes.

Farmers To Get
Potato Seed
Shipment from New York in
Short Time-To Pool
Fertilizer Order

Members of the executive commit
tee of the New Castle County Farm |
Bureau met Saturday afternoon in
Wilmington, for their monthly ses-
sion, and in the absence of the presi-
dent, C. P. Dickey, of Stanton, the
president presided.
In his report County Agent R. o.
Bausman announced that during the
month of February meetings had
been held in the following commune
ties: Kirkwood, Fairview, Newark,
Stanton, Newport, Towsend, Mt.
Pleasant, Marshallton, Odessa, Bear,
Hockessin. At each of these gather
ings program of work for 1922 was
adopted.
Among the chief projects decided
upon was the question of certified
seed potatoes. A committee composed
of Frank F. Yearsley, Of Marshall
ton; John C. Mitchell, of Hockessin;
C. P. Dickey, of Stanton, and Frank
Silver, of Bear, was appointed to Sc
cure a shipment of certified seed po-
tatoes from New York State and
guaranteed to be free from disease
and of high producing variety.
Another line Of work incorporated
in these several community programs
for the current year is the stimulat-
ing of farmers in the growing Of
more soy beans. The plan is to hold
several demonstrations in each COM
munity throughout the county show
ing the value of the soy bean hay as a
roughage in the production of milk.
1t is the concensus of opinion among
farmers and dairymen that not until
! the farmers come to growing higher
class rughage will they be able to
produce milk economically.
1t was emphasized that New Castle
county should produce more pork, but
that not until better stock has been
secured will the pork industry be sue
cessful A committee was appointed
to meet within a short time to plan
for shipment into this county OF a
carload of pure bred sows. 1t is
thought that from this start many
pure bred herds will be developed.
J. D. Reynolds, of Middletown
chairman of the State fertilizer com
mittee, reported that Delaware hat
entered into an agreement with the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange
of Springfield, Mass, through which
Delaware's fertilizer order will b.
pooled. This plan gives the Delaware
farmers the advantage of the success
full experience and the volume of th'
business done by this exchange.
1t was announced that Mr.. Reyn
olds has been appointed agent t.
supervise the fertilizer pool thi
spring, and during March he will
have his office at Dover, but will
spend much time travelling througl
the Safe with the community agnet
and explaining the new system
through which the Delaware farmer
will secure their spring fertilize

Highway Engineer Says Laws for
 Maintenance Should Be Passed.

Little Rock, Oct. 22.-Legislation providing for the maintenance of roads after construction is badly need ed, according to R. c. Limerick, state highway engineer, who returned yes terday from 650-mile tour of south west Arkansas. Mr. Limerick was accompanied by E. B. Shuman of the local federal goods roads office.
 MT. Limerick said that the surfac- ed roads in the counties visited, How ard, Sevier. Union and Ouachita, are now in good condition, except for an occasional broken place, but without attention they will disintegrate rap idly. The unsurfaced roads, Mr Lim- erick said, are in universally bad con- dition.
 Recent oil discoveries in Union and Ouachita counties have caused a tre- mendous increase in traffic. The road between Fl Dorado and Smackoyer, 12 miles away, was one continuous pro- cession of trucks and mule teams hauling supplies. said MT. Limerick and congestion on the Fl Dorado Camden road was so great that it took the party four hours to drive the 32 miles over a fair road.
