FARMERS HAVE
GRAIN PROBLEM
Experts Will Market 100000 Bush
els Wheat Crop This Year

Although Delaware is not famous
as grain producing state, she has
a grain marketing problem that, ac-
cording to the farmers becomes
more acute each season. This season
for instance it is expected that Della
ware will produce close to 100000
bushels of wheat which crop of
course will have to be marketed.
The Grain Marketing Company, of
Chicago, which is backed by the
farmers of the United States, with
the cooperation of the Delaware
Farm Bureau and the oranges, plans
to aid the Delaware farmers in mar
keting their grain. It is estimated
that with proper marketing the
wheat crop alone here will be worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 more than
it has been in the past when it has
been without proper facilities for
handling and shipping.
It is pointed out that Delaware
does not have one grain elevator
and that the handling Of wheat and
other grains is more or less druid
gerry without the proper facilities.
The Grain Marketing Company
desires to put it's terminal facilities
in Philadelphia at the disposal of
the Delaware farmers to aid them
in marketing their grain crops.

WOMAN SHOT WHEN GUN IS
ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGED
Mrs. Dulin, Of Houston, In Serious
Condition At Marshall Hospital

Mrs. Florence Dulin, wife of RisOn
Dulin, a farmer residing near HOus-
ton, was seriously injured late Sat-
urday afternoon when a gun which
she had been using to shoot crows
was accidentally discharged. Mrs.
Dulin with her young son had been
killing the birds in an effort to pro-
tect her young chickens. She had
started to the house and leaned over
to pick up the gun which she had
laid on the ground. In some manner
it was exploded and the entire load
of shot took effect in her abdomen.
DR.. Samuel Marshall was called to
the scene Immediately and the in
jured woman was brought to the
Marshall Hospital where an opera
ton was performed Immediately.
Closer examination disclosed a very
ragged wound, and the shot had pen
etrated up into the lung space. AS
much of the shot as could possibly
be taken from the wound was re-
moved and the injury dressed. Fears
were entertained that Mrs. Dulin
would not survive the injury; but on
she rallied very materially
and hopes are now entertained for
her recovery. She is about As years
of age and has one child, a son.

Fifteen new men have just been
added to the State Highway Police
Force, and have been assigned to
the various stations throughout the
state. The new policemen were Sc
1ected from the large list of candi-
dates who presented themselves at
the school recently conducted at
Dover. The opening of several new
roads made it necessary to increase
the force in order that the highways
should be properly patrolled. With
the increased force Chief Engineer
Buck will be able to put "a hour pa
trolling in effect. A new police sta
ton, equipped with scales for weigh
ing trucks will be located near
Greenwood.
The new appointtees are: Warren

ALL MUST PAY THE
STATE FILING FEE
New Commission Maps Out Program
To Collect All Money Due.

Members of the State Tax Com
mission, consisting of State Tax
Commissioner M. Howard Jester,
Secretary of State Taylor and State
Auditor Harrington, conferred with
Governor Robinson at the executive
Offices in Dover on Tuesday with the
object of making the school tax col
lection system more efficient, if pos
sible, with the idea of collecting
more taxes for the next two years.
Governor Robinson is keenly in
terested in the subject and desires
to see the tax department function
in the most efficient way possible.
he is hopeful that the department
in the next two years with its ap-
preparation of $4,000 a year, an in
crease of $4,000 as allowed by the
recent legislature, will be able to
get in a much larger amount of
taxes under the income tax law the
next two years than ever before. He
will work in cooperation with the
department with that end in view.
Governor Robinson did not ap-
prove the SO filing fee repeater or
the bill providing for SO capita
ton tax as passed by the recent leg
islature and consequently the filing
fee will remain law for at least
two more years. The only material
change made in the income tax law

SCHOOL AUTHORITIES
ASK CONCERNING ATHLETICS
Say It Is Possible That Studies Are
Suffering AS A Result

John Shilling, assistant superin-
tendant in charge of High Schools,
has written a letter to the members
of all Special District Boards of Ed
ucation and Boards of Trustees of
High School Districts, calling their
attention to high school athletics,
and asking questions concerning
same. His letter is timely and of
interest. 1t follows:
There is an argument going
around with which your principal
will probably acquaint you regard
ing interschool athletics and the
interference that interschool games
have with regular school work. am
writing you this letter in order that
you may turn the matter over in
your mind and cooperate with your
superintendent or principal and the
State Board of Education to regu-
late these affairs more reasonably.
You will, of course, approach this
matter from the standpoint of the
tax payer and the patron of the
school and your judgment will help
very much in the final adjustment of
things.
athletic activities in a school are
of value only in so far as they make
a school better and help it to do bet
ter the things for which it exists.
They lose their value and may do
positive harm when they interfere
with or prevent the proper function
ing of school work. There has grown
up custom among our schools |

CROP PROSPECT ALL
THAT IS DESIRED
Statement Issued On Monday By
The Crop Statistician Is Optic
mistic.

Optimism is the dominant note in
the agricultural districts of Mary
land and Delaware, according to a
statement given out Monday by John
S. Dennee, crop statistician at Bal
timore for the United State Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The statisti-
clan bases his statement on the
large number of favorable reports
received from farmers on the aver
age date of May Is, and on his own
inspection Of crops in the fields.
Wheat, rye and oats are in good
condition in Maryland, with a few
poor fields here and there. The
early spring season and sufficient
rainfall has helped the growth of
these crops. Condition of grains in
Delaware reported as fair to good.
Pastures are good, but in some
sections short due to cool weather,
which has somewhat retarded
growth.
Farmers expect to increase their
acreage of tomatoes for canning this
year. On the Eastern Shore of Mary
land a one-third increase in acre
age is indicated.
Early Irish potatoes are coming
along nicely, although growth is
slow on account of continued cool
weather. Planting has ended in the
mountain sections of Maryland,
while in other sections the crop is
up and cultivation has begun. The

JAPANESE BEETLE
INVASION STARTS
IN A FEW WEEKS
Government Authorities Say The
Pest Will Probably Spread Rap
idly This Year.
A PREVENTATIVE FORMULA
Larvacide, Suggested Will Kill
Large Proportion Of "Grubs"
Says Authorities.

A new invasion of Japanese bee
| tie SWarms, even worse than the
flying hOrdes that have harassed
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and nor
thern Delaware in previous years,
is predicted for the next few weeks.
Owners of gardens and lawns and
the managers of golf clubs have
been advised to cooperate with the
Federal authorities in combating the
multiplication of the pests, and at
the same time guard their own in
terests by saving their property
from destruction.
The Federal Government recently
made public the formula of new
larvacide which has been advised by
Government entomologists, and is
said to be a highly effective poison
for the destruction of the "grubs,"
who feed on the roots of grasses and
plants. Where the larvae is prevail
ent in great numbers, the grass
looks as if it had been swept by a
prairie fire.
This larvacide, if used properly,
has the two-fold advantage of saw
ing the lawns and gardens from de-
struction and preventing the metam-
orphosis Of the larvae into the CO.
coon stage and the latters transfor-
nation into the adult insect.
Clip This Formula
The formula for the larvacide is
as follows:
Add one pound and three ounces
of rosin, fish oil and soap to one
gallon of water and heat until the
soap is dissolved.
After the solution has cooled,
place it in a churn or ice cream
freezer and add three gallons of |
carbon-dislphide. Stir until the in
fredients emulsify and when the

MOVIE THEATRE
TO OPERATE In MILFORD
VIM. H. Warren Has Purchased Old
Nixon Theatre-SOOn To Reopen

After having been closed for over
year, the old Nixon Theatre in the
heart of Milford's business section
will again be thrown open to the
public within the next few days.
This week William H. Warren, who
was the pioneer in the motion pic
ture business in Milford, purchased
the lease on the theatre from the
former owners, headed by George
Schwartz of Dover. He has purchas-
ed the chairs and new picture ma
chine from the Carlisle Fire Com
pany who bought them when they
were sold at constable's sale several
months ago. This week Mr.. Warren
has had carpenters changing the en-
trance to the balcony, so that en-
trance may be gained direct from
the street. He plans to give the bal
cony over to the colored citizens,
while the first floor will be reserved
for white persons. While the work
of remodeling the theatre and put
ting it in shape is progressing rap
idly it will probably be the latter
part of next week before the place
is ready for opening.
Mr.. Warren is well-knOwn in Mil
ford in the moving picture game. He
opened the first theatre of the kind
ever operated here and ran it for
years before selling out to other in
terests.
