EXTEND TERRITORY IN STATE
IN DEVELOPING BEETLE FIGHT
WILMINGTON, CHRISTIANA AND
NEW CASTLE HUNDREDS ADDED
Part of Campaign by Agriculture De-
partment to Check Spread of Pest
Pennsylvania and New Jersey

Announcement was made last week
by the L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture of an enlargement of the regu-
lated area in the effort being made to
control the spread of the japanese
beetle, extending the quarantine to in
clude a larger area in the States of
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware, and applying the regulations
restricting the movement of farm pro-
ducts in the territory included in the
increased restricted area.
No change is made in the regula-
tions governing the movement of nur-
sery and ornamental stock, or sand,
oil, earth, peat, compost and manure.
In New Jersey, owing to the gen
eral spread of the insect throughout
Cumberland and Cape May counties,
the whole southern part of the State
is now brought under quarantine. In
Pennsylvania, the regulated area has
been extended to include a border zone
of approximately an additional town
ship in width beyond the quarantine
line of 1924.
In Delaware, the city of Whining
ton and Christiana and New Castle
hundreds have been brought into the
regulated area, Brandywine hundred
previously having been included.
The restrictions on the movement
of farm products (Regulation A. have
been materially revised both as to di-
rect shipments from point of produc-
ton and as to shipments from Phila-
delphia and other markets within the
regulated area. The list of regulated
articles has also been considerably re-
duced and is now limited to such ar
ticles and types of products as have
been determined as most likely to
carry beetles during the active adult
stage Of the insect. One new feature
has been added to the regulation,
namely, the provision that the inter
state movement of any farm products
from freight yards, docks or markets
in the regulated area, irrespective or
origin, is prohibited to points outside
such area during periods when large
numbers of beetles are on the wing
and the movement Of such articles is
determined by the inspector of the

TESTS TO DETERMINE
REALTORS ABILITY MADE
Plan Also Designed to Show Young
Man Whether He Is Fitted
for Profession.

Can a real estate man, by taking a
properly-devised test, determine in a
general way whether or not he's in the
right profession? Can a test be de-
vised that would indicate whether a
young man planning to enter the busi-
ness is of promising caliber, or wheth-
er an applicant for position as real
estate salesman would be worth TAX
ing on?
Not at all impossible, says the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. In fact, such a standard test
for real estate, following the general
plan of the standard tests in use in
schools and universities and the va
rious standard intelligence tests, has
already been worked out, and is now
ready for the use of member real
estate boards.
The test was devised from data sub.
mitted by a number of leading real
estate men of the country. 1t is de-

ORDERLY SELLING

Co-0peratives' Function De-
scribed as Balance of Pow

Rr tho Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, August Is
"Orderely marketing of farm products
through cooperative organizat ton
will lead to greater prosperity for
the farmer, the laborer and profess
sional man" U. b. Blalock, general
manager of the North Carolina Cot
ton Growers cooperative Associa-
ton, yesterday told the American In
stitute of Cooperation. He pointed
out that co-operatives must not de-
Velop into holding" companies
which would keep back the products
and dump" them all at once, but
that they must serve as a balance
of power between the bulls" and
bears on the markets of the world.
Il thoroughly believe in the theory
and in the principles of orderly mar
keting," Mr.. Blalock said, but l be-
lfeve that in a great many sections
the cooperative idea has been great
ly oversold, and it is bound to have
reaction when the members are
disappointed in the price received as
compared with the price of outside
markets, which must often happen"
Warns Against Overoptimism.
He warned members of the insti-
tute that they must not expect top
notch prices through orderly market
'iiS1 bul that lLty "pulu also prop
ably be protected from any great
losses.
TT does not mean that we will
always be able to average more for
our cotton than will be received by
the outside producers" he said. TT
is possible that conditions may arise
whereby the outside market will
average more than the co-operatives
However, we must not measure CO.
i've nrI-nT
ward stick. for if we are a stabilizing
factor in the market and are respon-
slble for certain price levels there is
nothing to prevent cotton on the out
side from coming up and seeking
somewhere near those same price
levels"
He pointed out that elimination of
waste and damage and the ability to
give manufacturers prompt shipments
would make 1t possible for co-opera-
1Ves TO get premiums not likely to
ne given to outsiders

Pointing out that modern economic
conditions have brought into existence
various tangible and intangible forms
of wealth other than real estate, once
the single great resource for tax levy,
real estate associations in q number
of States are calling on the Legisla-
lures of the States for systematic and
comprehensive adjustment of the State
taxation systems.
Action taken by the Pacific North
west Real Estate Association at it's
annual convention, just closed, and
action being taken by the Ohio Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards are
movements to put into effect the pro-
gram for tax adjustment formulated
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards at its annual conven-
ton held in Detroit late In June.
Study of the tax incidence of the
State, looking to legislative action, is
also being made by the Pennsylvania
Real Estate Association and by the
Minnesota Realty Association.
Recommendations Made.
In resolutions indorsing in full the
program for tax adjustment recently
adopted by the national association,
the Pacific northwest association
made the following recommendations
to the Legislatures of the States in
that region:
That property be assessed at a 100
per cent valuation.
That classification of property be
maze Tor taxation purposes.
That estates be subjected to but one
inheritance tax, and that one to be
collected by the Federal Government
That real estate be taxed for coun-
ty, city and school district and other
local purposes only unless other
sources OF revenue prove insufficient
That operative property of public
service corporations, the property of

vide
That real estate and tangible prop

present. but that automobiles and in
tangible personal property be taxed
as the Legislature sees fit.
That cities and political subdivisions
be prohibited from issuing bonds for
