Company

900 Action Against Sharpless
Company
Suit for $4,000 against the P. b.
Sharpless Company. Of Philadelphia
which has large milk plant at Ris-
ing Sun, has been filed in the Circuit
Court at Elkton, by the Interstate
Milk Producers Association, of
Philadelphia, representing the Ris-
ing Sun Milk Producers, for alleged
breach of agreement in payment for
milk to the Rising Sun producers.
In March, 1922, it is stated, the
Rising Sun Milk Association agreed
to supply the p. E. Sharpless Com
pany with milk for May and June.
at $1.90 per 100 pounds. The agree
ment after these three months was to
be whatever the market conditions
warranted and the price set by the
Interstate Milk Association. This
agreement was adhered to until
March of 1924, when, it is claimed
the Sharpless Company notified the
producers. that the price paid for
milk would be reduced rs cents.
The Interstate Association protested
without avail, it is claimed. The
price now paid by the Sharpless Com
pany is $2.52.
Omar d. Crothers, of Elkton, and
several Philadelphia attorneys will
represent the plaintiff.

Through Clearer Eyes

In Washington the newspaper men

fetal Washington something beside
the dreary routine OF making history
to think about. And they usually do
a good job OF it,
Any individual in public life, dcs-
pite the easy avenue for fun making
that cartoonisis provide. can take
himself too seriously. 1t is well some
times to ge, perspective OF things
through the eyes OF those who can
see something funny anywhere. Rid
icule and comedy will not alone give
that perspective but in combination
with the too serious way doing things
at Washington. something OF the hui
man phase may indent the sober
skulls OF those who declude them
selves with the belief that Washing
ton is America
One can imagine dignified SEN
ator squirming under the fire OF fun
that is poked 1T him. But in getting
thus a touch OF the American re-
action to many OF the things he has
done. that senator will be a better

Not All Opposed

Ii is inconceiyable that the opin-
ion expressed at the farm bureau
meeting here last week was indica-
tive OF the opinion OF Canyon county
farmers relative TO this work Only a
small per cent OF those interested in
the question attended the meeting and
voiced an opinion upon which the com
missioners presume TO act As is us
ually true. the opposition to any such
plan always is in evidence.
To indicate the basis OF some OF
the opposition. one needs only to point
out that one representative farmer
opposed the county appropriation idea
upon the ground that the entire 5000
asked was for a county agents sal
AIRY. OF course that is not true.
Several years ago. The Tribune
carried in its news columns for sew
eral weeks coupon whereby farm |
crs might express their opinion rela- !
tive to the farm bureau when the COM
missioners FIRST contemplated dis
cniinuing the appropriation. Sever
al hundred responses were received
and almost without exception they
registered approval OF continued farm
burcau appropriations. Indeed it was
chargd to the Republican commits
sioners then in office that failure to
appropriated for the farm bureau was

Only twice in the history OF the

has the House OF Representatives ell

in 1901. The second election by the
House was thar OF John Quincy Ad-
ans. in 1925. The one vice prcsiden-
iial election by the Senate occurred
in 1887. when Martin Yea Buren, OF
New York was elected President. His
running mate was Richard NJ John
son OF Kentucky. The democratic
electors from Virginia refused to vote

ASKED AND
ANSWERED

Q. What is the largest planet' in
the solar system?
Jupiter is the largest. having el-
even times the diameter OF the earth.
Although so much larger than the
earth it is very much smaller than
the sun. Its density is only one
fourth that OF the earth or slightly
greater than he density of water. II
is therefore unlikely that it has anly
solid portion. This planet is always
visible to the unassisted eye when
above the horizon at night, being
brighter than a iirsi-magnitudc star.

USE OF EXPLOSIVES
FOR FARM PURPOSES

Z. r. Gross, Professor Of Rural Engi-
neering, Rutgers College, New
Brunswick, N. j.
The clearing of waste land Of
stumps, rocks or water is becoming
an important phase of agricultural de-
VelOpment, for immense areas of such
land throughout the country are not
under cultivation. Marshy lands,
which might be drained, occupy 49,
100000 acres in the United States-an
area fftee ntimes the size of New Jer-
sey. A vast amount of stump land is
indifferently farmed. It is impossible
to determine just how much produc-
tion could be increased by clearing.
Engineers in the south say that dyna-
mite will be necessary to clear south
ern lands before agriculture will have
a normal development in that section.
Many states have considerable
problem in this matter of land-clear-
ing or reclamation. Parts are found to
be swampy, parts abound in boulders,
and parts are stumpy.
vantage in overcoming all these diff
Explosives have been used to ad-
culties. While there has been some
Mantle, it has been found that there
is no great danger if it is properly
handled. Furthermore, dynamite is
quite certain in action and simple to
use, and the individual who is careful
may feel perfectly safe in handling it.
When labor is expensive and time
limited the accomplishment of a re-
clamation project is probably cheap
est when explosives are used. A half
mile of ditch can be made in a day, a
large boulder quickly shattered, a
stump lifted as by giant hand, tree
holes made, sub-soiling done, a cellar
dug, a channel Strengthened, cut for
a road made, all with small expendi-
ture of time and labor.
The cost of explosives themselves
and the cost of work done by means
of them are always of interest, all
though making a difficult question to
handle. Cost varies so much and |
prices change so rapidly that figures
mean little. Cases have been cited, |
however, in which hand ditching !
would have cost 25 cents per cubic
yard, while with dynamite the work
was done for 12 cents per yard. A
Itch was made with dynamite at the
New Jersey Experiment Station in the
spring Of 1921. The ditch passes
through low wet meadow, is 700
feet long, 21k feet deep and feet
vide at the top. About S65 yards Of
Earth were moved for $194.00, or at
cost of So cents per yard. Fifty dollars
If this was paid to a skilled blaster,
10 the cost for material was about 40
,ents per yard. Five hundred pounds
# dynamite were used.

directions for using the various sprays
and dusts are usually given on the

that they work within thO plant and,
therefore, cannot be reached By spray

blight of tomatoes can be reasonably
controlled by spraying with bordeaux
mixture. Wilt and those diseases
which work in the tissues Of the plant
cannot be handled by spraying and
must be safeguarded against by plant
ing in clean ground and by using
plants that are free from these dis
eases. The old adage "A stitch in
time saves nine" applies in a double
measure to the control of garden in
sects and diseases. In fact, every
gardener should go upon the assump-
ton that the bugs and blights will
come and that it is necessary to apply
the remedies often in advance Of their

REPORT OF STOCKLEY COMlTUN.
ITY ASSOCIATION FOR 199s-1994

Stockley Community Association
has had a very successful year. It has
at each meeting ever held as it's goal
not only entertainment and pleasure.
but also the welfare of the children
and to provide something more to
broaden their knowledge.
In the six meetings already held.
many able speakers were secured by
our president and vice president,
among whom were DR.. Richard W.
Cooper, supervisor, Albert Farley,
Robert Shilling, George Williams, Mr..
Valiant and Rev. Welsh.
No less important has been the work
Of the children. In their demonstra-
tion work, playlets, songs, posters,
folk games, booklets and sand table
they have not only added to the enter
tainment but have shown the JOY they
have in their work.
One feature of our meetings this
year has been the splendid help given
the children in their music. Mrs. J. q.
Goslee and Philip Short have never
been too busy with their many home
duties to come to the school as often
as three times in a week to play for
the children's songs and folk games.
The committees on refreshments
have responded splendidly and we
wish to thank all those who have
made this part Of our meeting a sue
cess.
The ideal way our efficient officers
have conducted our meetings has not
only attracted Sussex county but has
been recognized by the State and our
able vice president, J. e. Goslee, has
been chosen as one Of the State P. T.
A. Executive Board.
Howard Ennis, our president, and
Mrs. Philip Short, our secretary, have
the interest of our school and neigh
borhood at heart, and are working
continually for a more perfect asso-
citation. Mr.. Ennis although very busy
with his duties as head of Delaware
Colony, is ever thinking of something
worth while for Stockley and the
children.
A candy sale and parcel post sale
held to buy books and the committee
is still at work on this. StocBley was

Insects, Diseases
of Garden Crops
Bugs and Blights Are Sure;
Prepare in Advance for
Their Appearance

Practically every garden crop has
its enemies either in the form Of in
sects or diseases, and in many cases
both. It has now reached the point
where it is just as important for the
gardener to fight these enemies as to
plant the seeds and cultivate the crops.
The methods of control for both the
insect and disease enemies Of vege-
table crops have, however, been pretty
well worked out, and practically every
dealer in seeds and garden implements
carries a stock of nicotine sulphate,
