LEGISLATION ON TOMATO
SEED GROWING

The market value of a canned food
is determined primarily by it's quail
ity. Any factor, therefore, which af-
fects the quality of product de-
serves careful thought to the end
that high standard which has been
attained in Delaware for canned pro-
ducts be maintained.
The canning of tomatoes in this
state has been an enterprising and
successful industry, but should we
experience another season like the
one just passed through the quality
of canned tomatoes packed on this
peninsula are going to lose their
high standing with the consuming
public. The quality of tomatoes
grown last year was very poor. The
packer realizing this more than the
grower, is making an effort through
our present legislature now in ses-
sion, to overcome this as much as
possible, by improvement in seed.
The Gamers of Delaware have ap-
pointed a legislative committee con-
sisting of George N. Davis, Whining
ton; Harry Cannon, Bridgeville, and
H. w. Pearson of the T. A. Snider
Preserve Co., Greenwood, to ask our
State Legislature for an appropria-
ton to be used by the Extension
Bureau Of the University of Della
ware in growing better tomato seed.
The Gamers Of the state contend
that the growers of tomatoes must
use better seed if the Gamers may
hope to continue to maintain their
high standing with the users of can
ned tomatoes, and that they must
make every effort to put the best
possible in the can. Every grower
and Gamer are equally interested in
this important question, and it is
earnestly hoped that every grower
will make an effort to see, ,or write |
his State Senator or Representative,
advising him Of your views on this
matter.

and drink took not the slightest no
ttce. His brain, ice-cold and clear,
was moving rapidly. 1t had not been
a mistake he had heard voices-voices
which came from that very room In
which they now were. Men had been
there-men who had got out by some
other way. And Ginger Martin was
trapped-all Of them. More out of
thoughtlessness than anything else, he
brushed the swearing crook aside with
the back of his hand-much as one
brushes away a troublesome fly. And
Martin, feeling as If he'd been kicked
in the mouth by a horse, ceased to
swear.
1t was uncanny-devilish. The ROOM
empty, save for them, suddenly flooded
with light. But by whom? Drum.
But by whomf And then suddenly he
heard Ted Jerningham's voice, low and
tense.
There's man watching US, Hugh.
l can see his eyes. In that big safe
door,"
Like a fash, Drummond swung
round, and looked at the safe. Ted
was right; he could see the eyes him
self, and they were fixed on him with
an expression Of malignant fury,
through kind Of opening that looked
like the slit in letter box. For
moment or two they remained there,
staring at him, then they disappeared
also, and seemed to become part OF
the door. And 1t was just as he was
moving toward this mysterious safe to
examine 1t closer that with a sudden
clang, another opening appeared-one
much larger than the first He stopped
involuntarily as something was thrown
through into the room-something
which hissed and spluttered.

the handle cautiously; the door gave
to him; and still with his torch held

the room, turning the light into every
corner. Not a trace Of anyone; the
inner office was absolutely empty. He
flashed the light all round the walls.

the door through which they had just

the big roll-top desk.
"Right-ho, guv'nor Keep the beam
