LATE DELAWARE CROPS
ABOUT ALL HARVESTED
Receipts Confirm All Earlier Re-
ports of Profitable Season

Within a very few weeks, possi-
bly, few days, most of the farmers
of Delaware will have concluded all
of their harvesting, and aside from
the necessary cleaning up work to
be done about the field and repair to
be made to the barns and stables,
will then sit back most Of the time
and plan for next spring and sum-
mef.
Pretty nearly all of those who
raise grain have planted their wheat
although the past week witnessed
scores of tardy chaps bustling to
get the seed in the ground before it
froze and make planting impossible.
Because the yield the past year was
splendid and the prices obtained
satisfactory, every one who is
wheat farmer planted just as heav-
lily this fall as in any other year.
Delaware is still a big wheat
growing state, although those who
know the unusual fertility of its
soil have frequently pointed out
that shorter crops would net more
for the farmer, once he de-
cided to cut out wheat growing.
At this time the only articles be-
ing harvested are apples and sweet
potatoes. The severe wind of two

FOUNDERS DAY GALA
WOMEN'S COLLEGE EVENT
Governor Robinson Speaker As First
Brick for New DOrmitOry is Laid

Last Saturday was one of the gala
days of the year at the Women's
College of the University of Della
ware.
This date marked the eleventh
anniversary of the college. 1t is an
event to which all who are interest
ed in the college look forward.
This year it took an added signi-
ficance in the minds of college Off
cials because a part of the program
was devoted to the formal inaugu-
ration of work on the walls of New
Castle Hall, the new dormitory at
the Women's College. The founda-
tions of the building are dug and
the work is progressing rapidly.
Governor Robert P. Robinson made
short speech when the first brick
was laid.
Hundreds of guests were present
for this Founders Day. AS usual,
the program was divided into two
parts, the first being taken up with
traditional student exercises on the
Women's College campus, and the
second with the more formal part
of the program at Wolfe Hall. Dean
Mildred C. Thompson of Vassar Col
lege made the principal address of
the afternoon.

PUSEY MISSING AFTER
AN ACCIDENT AT SEA
Secretary Of State And Prominent
Wilmington Business Man Had

The Cruiser Reported Burned To
Waters Edge-.-NO Trace Of
The Men.

Secretary of State William G. Tay-
lOr, Of Delaware, and Edward r. Pu-
sey, u prominent coal dealer OF Will
mingtOn, have been missing since
Monday Of last week, at which time
they left South Port, North Carolina
on the motor driven crusier Bunny
II, on their way to Miami. Florida.
Efforts are being made by the Fed
eral Government and friends of both
men to learn definitely their fate.
Fears that both they and Lewis Ross,
master of the Bunny II, owned by
Mr.. Pusey, have lost their lives at
sea are entertained by persons who
have made a search for the men.
These fears are given foundation by
reason of the fact that the Bunny II
has been found burned to the wa
ter's edge-but no trace was seen of
any of the three men known to have
been aboard when she left South
Port.
While there is a slight possibility
that the men have been picked up by
a passing steamer, or that they man

RAIDERS In KENT COUNTY
FIND EVIDENCE OF STILLS
Several Raids Made in Kent County
Last Week.

Federal Prohibition officers Mel
vim and Andrews and State Highway
Officers Powell and BOnaficano
made several raids in Kent County
last Friday afternoon.
The first place visited was the
farm of Lewis Stayton near Fred
erica where it is claimed there was
evidence of liquor having been man
ufactured but the officers failed to
find any of it. At the farm of
Joseph Smith near the Stayton farm
it is said the officers found parts of
a still but no finished product. The
home of Gordy Lewis, colored was
also visited but no liquor found.
AT the store of Mrs. A. w. Cover
dale, seven cases of alleged high
powered beer was found and will be
tested to find out the alcohol con-
tent.
At the store of Christian Hack,
in North Dover, a five gallon glass
container filled with alleged corn
whisky was alleged to have been
found Hack was taken before
Magistrate Wood and held in $500
bail for the upper court.
The house of John Dores, nearly

were found upturned and the lfQRid-

SUSSEX FARMERS URGED
TO HAVE CATTLE TESTED
State Board Of Agriculture Now Has
Veterinarians in County at Work

Government and State veterinar-
ians are now concentrated in Sus-
sex County, for the purpose of af-
fording all cattle owners in that
county the privilege of having their
cattle tested for tuberculosis, and a
special appeal is made to get the
owners to take advantage of the
test at this time, for after Sussex
County has been gone over, it is
intended to move the veterinarians
to Kent and New Castle.
The Inspectors are now at work
in all parts of the county, and far
mers who have cattle are requested
to get in touch with them imme-
diately, so that the work can be
done while they are in a given Sec
tion, and thus avoid needless trou-
BILE and expense. At the present
time, there are not many reactors
being found, and when they are
found the Government and State
cooperate to reimburse the owner,
so that he receices a large part of
the appraised value, whenever it is
necessary to slaughter the animal.
1t is especially to the advantage of
the owner to have them tested while
this ruling is in effect, for the time
may come when it will be withdrawn
and in such event, the owners
would have to stand the full loss.
The State Board of Health now
requires all dairymen selling raw
milk, to have tuberculin tested
herds, and in view of the fact that
it has been proven that tuberculosis
can be communicated to humans
infected COWS, it is entirely
possible that the time may come
when all cattle will be required to
be free from this disease. The fact |
that tuberculin tested cattle bring
a premium in price over cattle that |
are not tested is another reason |
why all cattle owners should be in

lrian who is now working in your

WET WEATHER DELAYS
PROGRESS OF FARM WORK
Weather Hurts Wheat and Sends
Potato Prices Up.

Reports received at Chicago Nov
ember 1st show that wheat is nearly
completed in the Southwest and
much of the plant is up to a good
stand owing to an abundance of
moisture. In the Central West seed
ing was delayed by wet weather,
and with a freeze following the re-
cent rains field work was delayed
and doubt is expressed in the re-
ports as to the early expectations
of 10 per cent. increase in acre
age materializing. In Illinois and
Indiana reports show that not much
more than so per cent. of the acre
age has been seeded. Grain seeded
within the past week is not up and
growing weather is needed.
In the Canadian Northwest thresh-
ing was carried on in some sections
despite the bad weather, with cold
and SNOW, which lowered the quail
ty of wheat. At the end of the week
threshings were more general, due
to better weather.
