with oil about every three weeks or
month. 1t is not necessary to jack
up the frame and insert the oil be-
tween the spring leaves. You will
find that sufficient oil will seep in
between the leaves to lubricate them.
The principal reason for oiling the
springs is to keep water and mud
from creeping in between the leaves
and rusting them up.

Cylinders through the spark plug
holes or the printing cocks with a
mixture of half ether and gasoline or
with pure ether if the weather is
extremely cold. Keep the mixture in
an oil can and squirt about tea
spoonful into each cylinder. This re-
quires but few moments and will
usually start the engine on the first
turn of the starter. Some service
stations sell special grade of gaso-
line for the cold weather. This costs
little more but is worth it because
it vaporizes more completely helping
to reduce crankcase dlution and at
the same times makes the engine start
much easier.

TO LENGTHEN TOMATO SEASON
County Agent and Bureau of Markets
Would Extend the Season


The movement to lengthen the to-
mato harvest in Delaware, one of the
biggest industries in the lower sec
tion of the state is providing with
much success. Ordinarily the harvest
lasts from two to four weeks, but if
the plans now being made by Russell
E. Wilson, county agent in Kent cOun-
ty and the director of the University
of Delaware extension department in
that county work out, the season this
summer in some sections of Kent, will
continue for from four to six weeks.
Mr.. Wilson is sending to growers of
tomatoes about the section covered by
the Frederca Cooperative Canning
Company letters asking the farmers
to discuss with the cannery officials
the advisability of extending the to-
mato season by planting earlier and
later plants. He has also taken the
matter up with the cannery officials
and they are favorable to the project.
They would like it because under con-
ditions as they have existed up to now
they have been worked to the limit,
sometimes Is hours a day, sometimes
on Sundays, to pack the harvest with
in the three weeks time. Under the
new method, the tomatoes would not
all be planted at one time, but would
be planted week after week, with the
earliest ripening plants coming first
and in that way instead Of all of the
| harvest coming within a few weeks
| the volume would be increased and
yet made easier to handle by being
/ placed over a longer period. Mr.. Will
son and Wilmer T. Derrickson, CHIEF
of the Bureau of Markets have beer
asked to go to Frederica and adj
dress the growers and explain tht
plan, which they will do. In thu
meantime the county agent is ar
ranging to obtain tomato seed for th'
raising of early plants so that if tn
growers accept the proposition, the.
would be able to make a start thi
summer. at would be impossible fO
US to handle the crop this year
every one acquiesed", said Mr. VIII
son last week in discussing the plan;
eve would rather start with one o
two cooperative canneries, and allO'
the farmers to see how the plan sue
ceeded. This would convince tn
others who might have doubts an
would be more satisfactory all aroun
because it would give US time to ol
ganize for all to eventually plar
with longer harvest in view"

in the collection of taxes to pay inter
est and principal on school bonds. I'm
der the school law as it now stands, he
said, the school districts have to put
the collection of taxes under special
collectors at a cost of to per cent
for collection.
Frank Speakman, attorney for the
New Castle County Levy Court, op-
posed the construction of the bill,
pointing out that while it would put
the collection of school taxes in the
hands of the county tax collectors of
Kent and Sussex counties, the situa-
tiOn was different in New Castle
county, where there are ten districts
outside of Wilmington where there
are tax collectors, but only one coun-
ty treasurer, whose office is in Will
mingtOn. He suggested that the bill
be amended to meet this situation,
and on motion of Representative
Drexler it was recommitted for that
purpose.

suggested amendments. The bill,
John Shilling, assistant superintend-
ent, in charge of high schools, ex-
planned, imposes additional duties on
the county treasurer and receiver of
taxes in each county, and an amend
ment to the bill requires that he be
placed under bond as county treasurer
and receiver of taxes.
The bill, he said, is designed merely
to bring to the attention of the Gen
eral Assembly the lack of uniformity

Thursday high water pressure oc-
casioned the bursting of gate at the
Haven Lake Dam, near Milford, and
there was a mighty rush Of water
into Silver Lake at Milford. The
gates of the lower lake had to be rails
ed in order that the water might find
it's way into the Mispillion river, and
to prevent flooding of the surrounding
country. Haven Lake is situated along
the dupont boulevard and is one Of
the show places along the route. The
water is now gradually leaving this
lake, and carrying with it a large
number of bass and other fish with
which it was stocked. This is the
third time this lake has been dry in
the last few years, and its depletion
of fish is much deplored by anglers in
this section.
