BrenfOrd-SOme Valuable Advice

DTenIOfd-SOme valuable Advice
Wheat growers in the vicinities of
Brenford, Clayton and Smyrna and
throughout the northern part of Kent
county will be interested to know that
Wheat smut control demonstration
will be held on the farm of +. H.
Donovan near Brenford on Friday af
ternoon, September 25, at 1.3O o'clock
This announcement was made recently
from the office of Kent County Agent
Russell +. Wilson who is cooperating
with the State Board of Agriculture
IN campaign to eradicate as much
of this disease as possible before the
wheat seeding period has started this
fall in this section. The demonstra-
tiOn on the Donovan farm will con-
sist of treating some of the seed
wheat with formaldehyde and some
with the dust disinfectants such as
copper carbonate and semesan. The
object of using the three different ma
terials is in order to demonstrate to
the farmers each method of treatment
and to also make a comparative study
OF the effectiveness of each kind of
material on the complete control of
the wheat smut. A record will be
kept of the cost of application of each
method, and next summer a portion
of each plot will be harvested separ-
ately and the yields of grain calculat
ed on the acre basis. All farmers who
are interested in controlling the smut.
or who expect to treat their seed
wheat this fall, are being given a cor
dial invitation to attend this demon
stration and field meeting on Mr..
Donovan's farm on Friday afternoon
of this week. The work will be in
charge Of DR.. J. f. Adams, Plant
PathologiSt for the University Of Del
aware Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton and the State Board of Agricul-
ture, and Kent County Agent Russell
b. Wilson. A similar demonstration
Will be conducted at 10 o'clock in the
morning of the same day on the farm
OF Joseph kohOut near Hartly for the
benefit Of the farmers in the western
sect On OF the county who had smut i'm
their wheat this year. For specific
directions regarding the use of for
maldehyde and these dust disinfect-
ants the wheat growers are requested
to get in touch with either the County
Agricultural Agent or the Secretary
Of Agriculture at Dover These print /
ed directions will be distributed free
upon request to those who are plan
ming to treat their seed wheat this !.
fall. 1t is also the desire of these
two offices to assist the farmers in /
every way possible in their fight |
against this destructive disease which
so materially reduces the wheat yields /
IN this county during a heavily infest-
ed season such as we experienced this
year.

came Effective June All Dogs
Now Become Personal Property
Inc dog law enacted at the last
session Of the Delaware Legislature
became effective on June /. 1925. This
law provides that all dogs in Kent and
Sussex Counties must be licensed on
or before September l, for the wear
1925, and annually thereafter during
the months of January and February.
The Board Of Game and Fish Commits
sioners, which is charged with the adj
mlmstration of the new law, EMPLOYED
a census taker in each representative
district, who made a census of all of
the dogs found in his district and is
sued the licenses. The Board also col
lected the worthless dogs which were
voluntarily surrendered by their own
ers and disposed of them in a humane
way. The statistics secured from the
office of the Chief Warden disclose
that lO,OO2 dogs were found in Sussex
county and 1886 dogs IN Kent county.
of total Of 18,828 dogs in the two
counties. Of this number 988 were
voluntarily surrendered and killed un-
der the direction of the Board of
Game and Fish Commissioners and it
is estimated that an equally large
number were disposed of by their
owners. In the first district of Kent
County including Smyrna, there were
found 1121 dogs of which 401 have
been licensed and "a dogs killed. Over
In the Third District including CLAW
ton and Kenton, 644 dogs were found
of which 424 have been licensed. Tn
der the new law, registered dogs be-
come personal property and the own
er Of any dog is liable for damages
done by dogs to the live stock and
poultry of another. Under this pro-
vision Of the law, claims for damages
done by dogs, amounting to S179 have
been established and paid by the State
Treasurer to the owners Of the prop
erty destroyed. A number of valuable
dogs which had strayed from their
owners premises have been identified
by means of the tag which each dog
wears and restored to their owners.

boulevard and 1t will be opened. it is
thought, early next summer. The con-
crete on the first stretch from Milford
to the brick granary has been laid.
and most Of the concrete work from
Milford to NAPLES Mill has been fin
lShed. The construction of the TWO
bridges on the route is in progress.
The concrete piling at the Cedar Creek
span IS being driven. When this road
