UNITED STATES HAS TREMENDOUS
 SOURCE POWER
COLUMBIA RIVER ALONE CAN lRRiGATE 100000 ACRES;
 DAMS MAY BE BUILT

WASHINGTON D. O., Aug. 8 (P)- The Geological Survey reported yes- terday that potential waterpower in the United States along the CoIum- bia river can irrigate over 8,000,000 acres of land, of which 360,00O are al- ready irrigated. The report declared the river could be made navigable from it's mouth to Canada, 76O miles, by means of dams built, primarily for development of waterpower. It is ex- plained that this resource has been neglected by lack of market. Large blocks of power must be linked to es- tablish industries ill the manufacture of electro metallurgical products, fer tiIizers and chemicals. The north western railways, it was said, could absorb only small quantity of the power which could be developed. The report said that power from Columbia river points could be delivered advan- tageously to all of Washington, and to most of Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana. It added, During the war this power could be used for the manufacture of munitions near their source, and these plants could be cas- fly protected by guarding few pass es through the Cascades.

ARMY WORMS INVADE
PART OF new CASTLE COUNTY
Farmers In Vicinity OF Blackbird
Are Fighting Off The Pests

An invasion of the Army Worm is
being fought off by the farmers in
the vicinity of Blackbird in New
Castle county. The caterpillars
made their appearance in large num-
bers on the farm of Harry Holt, near
Delaney. The vicinity between De-
laney and Massey, Md, is reported
infected with the devastating craw-
lers and although every method on
the part of the farm hands has been
utilized to fight them, they continue
to appear in other sections.
This is a first time in many years
any have been found in this vicinity,
the most terrible invasion having
occurred following the Civil War,
when the state was a tramplng
ground for the invading thousands.
Sunday night, it was reported that
some had been found on the farm OF
John D. Reynolds, near Middletown,
and were seen crossing the State
Highway in huge numbers to the
farm of W. Scott Reihms.
Farmers are using the furrow-
blowing method to combat the
worms and plans are under way by

JERSEYMEN PAY FOR
FISHING In DELAWARE WATERS
Fined 800 Each For Taking Sea
Food In Violation OF State Laws

Game Warden Fred Marvil made
an important capture Saturday when
he caught Charles Moore and Albert
Brown, of Bivalve, N. J., hauling
nets in Delaware waters at Clark's
Buoy. The two were taken to Mil
ford before Justice of the Peace
HENDERSON and fined $500 each.
Agreement was made several years
ago between New Jersey and Della
ware that although non-residents
could fish in the Delaware Bay for
pleasure, the fishermen from each
State who fish commercially must
stay in their home waters and thus
avoid the fights that had ragged be-
tween Delaware and New Jersey
for years. The two States
passed similar laws,
non-residents from fish
ing with nets in Delaware Bay
waters. Moore and Brown were the
victims of this agreement and were
following the fish over to the Della
ware side. 1t is alleged by the Of
fcers that the Jersey fishermen have
been making a practice of fishing
over on this side.
