$S,99O,OOO DEBT ON DEL. FARMS

The total mortgage debt on farms in
the United States on January 1, 1920
was $7,857, 100000, according to esti-
mated figures just made public by the
Bureau of the Census of the Depart
ment of Commerce, and the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. This estimate has
been worked out by the Bureau of the
Census on the basis of 1920 census
figures, supplemented, in the case of
tenant farms, by information secured
through questionnaires sent out by the
Bureau of the Census and the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.
The mortgage debt on fully owned
farms (including those not mort
gaged). This ratio (or the correspond
ing ratio of each State) was used in
estimating the debt on farms operated
by part owners and managers. The
mortgage debt on tenant farms, ac-
cording to special reports received
from the owners Of such farms in Sc
lected counties, was go per cent of the
value of all tenant farms covered by
these reports.
Mortgage Indebtedness on Delaware
farms was $8,990,OOO. The Indebtedness
on Maryland farms was 49,230,0O0.

TALL CEDARS LADIES' NIGHT
Local Forest Has Secured Victor
Artists For Entertainment.

The Executive Committee of Ever
green Forest, Tall Cedars of Lebanon,
of Milford, have made arrangements
for a Ladies' Night entertainment
which will be held in the Plaza Thea
tire on Monday evening, April End. The
Cedars We're very fortunate in secur-
ing the eight Victor artists for this
evening. Dr. Walter Grier, Tall Cedar
of the Forest, tried for two months
before he could induce the artists to
come to Milford. These include only
persons who make records for the
Victor Talking Machine Company, and
the program to be given is claimed to
be the finest on the concert stage to-
day. It is costing more to bring these
artists to Milford than has ever been
paid for any single entertainment to
be brought to Milford.
Letters have been sent out to all
members of Evergreen Forest advis-
ing them of this wonderful entertain
ment. Until March 28th only mem
bers of the organization will be sold
tickets, but after that date if there are
any remaining tickets they will be dis
posed of to the public. Every seat in
the house is reserved, and in order
that the residents of Milford will not
have an unfair advantage over out-of-
town members of the organization
every other row in the house has been
reserved for out of town guests. This
arrangement is meeting with the ap-
proval of these people. The tickets are
selling rapidly.

ALL MUST PAY LAST
YEARS So FILING FEE
Although Bill Changing Filing Fee
To CapitatiOn Tax Has Passed
Both House And Senate.
1922 FEE IS COLLECTABLE
Tax Commissioner Has Allowed 80
Days Grace.-Returns Must Be
In By April IS.

The SO filing fee for 1922 will not
be affected by any action the present
legislature has so far considered, ac-
cording to M. Howard Jester, State
tax commissioner, and will be collect
ed by him precisely as heretofore,
unless such action shall be modified.
The limit of time for payment of State
taxes, among which the filing fee is
included, will however, be extended to
April Is, Commissioner Jester an
nounces.
The reason for this extension is to
await the final action by the legisla-
ture, which still has under considera-
ton the bill introduced by Representa-
tive Brogan, repeating the filing fee"
act, as we'll as the School Revenue
bill
Although the latter measure, which
substitutes a capitation tax of S2.5O
on all citizens of voting age for the
SO filing fee, and changes the method
of collection, has passed both houses
of the General Assembly, it may yet
be recalled for amendment or fail OF
approval by the governor, in the opin-
ion of some observers, and final actlon
is therefore awaited
Unless the bills as passed shall be
thus amended, they carry no retroac--
tive provision in Mr.. TESTERS view, and
therefore leave the filing fee and the
other provisions for State tax for 1922
in the "status quo ante" and will ap-
ply only to the tax for 1928, which IS
not due until after the expiration OF
the year.
While the present law makes the
1922 tax due on March Is, it is in the
discretion of the commissioner to eX-
tend the period, and that has been
done by him in view of the circum-
stances.
Under one of the proposed amend
ments to the new School Revenue law,
the Levy Courts of the three counties
will be responsible for the collection
of the capitation tax, the amount OF
which is fixed by the bill. This amount
therefore, would have to be set up IN
the yearly budget of Levy Court.

IS MILES MAY Be
new SPEED Limit
The Bill Increasing Speed Limit OF
Vehicles In Delaware Passes
The House.
OTHER AUTO REGULATIONS
Severe Penalties For Drunken Driv-
ers Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Re-
port All Accidents.

A series of bills designed to make
the State laws pertaining to automo-
biles more effective, also to make the
highways safer for those who have
to traverse them, was passed by the
House Wednesday morning, but not
without some opposition. All these
bills were fathered by the Delaware
Safety Council, and as each was call
ed up it was explained by L. A. De-
blosis, an official of the council.
One of the most important meas
ures pertains to the question of speed
to be maintained by automobiles. Mr..
Deblois said the present speed law is
not enforceable in this State, and if
it were, two-thirds of the automobile
drivers would be in Jail all the time.
This bill is based on similar laws
worked out successfully in other
States, and provides thaG an operator
shall not be arrested for speeding, but
for reckless driving, which gives the
officer making the arrest q better
chance to prove his case. He said ac-
cidents are not due so much to speed
ing as to reckless driving.
An amendment to the bill fixes the
speed on movable bridges at eight
miles an hour. This was adopted 18
to 8.
The vote on the bill itself resulted
q for and against.
Penalty for Drunken Drivers
The next bill increases the penalties
for drunken drivers of automobiles.
For the first Offense they may be fined
from 500 to $500 and Imprisonment
for one year. For a second Offense they
would be fined from 5000 to $1,000 and
imprisoned three months to a year.
Their licenses may be revoked for
year, during which time they must be
on their good behavior or their appli-
cation for another drivers license may
be refused.
This bill was passed by unanimous
vote.
The third bill increases the fines
from $40 to $25 to $25 to $1OO for fail
ure to register a motor car, as re-
quired by law. It is claimed that reg
istration tags are being split and this
bill prohibits the practice. 1t was
passed without opposition.
Must Report All Cases
AuOIner VI CHeSS DIllS requires JUS
tices of the peace and city court judi
ges to advise, in writing, the secretary
of state of all facts of any cases be-
fore them in which automobiles are
involved. The coroners also must do
the same thing. An operator involved
in an accident must make sworn state
ment of such accident to the secretary
of state within 48 hours after the ac-
cident. A penalty of $1OO fine is pro-
vided for violation of this law
This bill was passed by unanimous
vote.
The next bill forbids one machine to
pass another, or vehicle of any kind,
at intersections, at the top of hill, or
on curves where the view is obstruct-
ed. This bill was passed unOpposed.

Loss BY CARELESCNESS
$lOO,OOO,OOO Is Government Esti-
mate For Year Just Passed.

The National Poultrymen's League
calls attention to the fact that Wash
ington department records show an
estimate of $1O0,0O0.0O0 lost in 1922
through broken and spoiled eggs. This
loss is due almost entirely to careless
handling. At least half of the loss was
sustained by pOultrymen and whole
sale and retail dealers, through brok-
en- eggs, the other half largely through
the neglect to candle eggs before de-
livering them to consumers. Usually
the retailer had to make good.
Ordinarily bags, paper cartons, and
the like offer no protection to eggs,
it is pointed out. They must be packed
in wooden carriers to resist the thOus-
and shocks that eggs are heir to. The
inside of the carrier must be so con-
structed or padded that the eggs can
be packed upright instead of being laid
lengthwise.
Fur million cases, or 120,0OO,OOO
dozen, more eggs were consumed in
1922 than in any previous year. This
year, it is said promises an even great
I er excess. Figuring an average of one
egg per day per person in the United
SIdIeSs WHICH 10 d OOhoOA 'e'IA'C S9Sl
mate, our country ate thirty-six bill
lion, five hundred million eggs last
year. The increasing egg consumption
is believed to be due much to govern
ment propaganda among farmers, who
were given the impetus during the war
to produce more eggs, and since then
they have not ceased in their efforts,
especially as they have had an invari-
ably good market. Efforts are now be-
ing made to reduce the enormous loss
suffered through broken and spoiled
eggs. Care in handling is considered
the only remedy.
