Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
ts remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected~i is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
N bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

FINANCING CHRISTMAS

For many thousands this year
the Christmas saving fund has

solved the Christmas finance
problem. Through the medium
of this most modern of money

dollars. were accumulated this
year and are now available for
spending or reinYestment. With
out the Christmas saving clubs
a very large percentage of those
who have received checks this
year would face Christmas virtu-
ally pennileSS. They have been
helped to save and can enjoy the
blessedness of giving, the pleas

if thrifty, the satisfaction of re-

TOMATO GLUT SENDS MARKET
PRICE DOWN TO Zoe BASKET
HARD ON OPEN MARKET FARM
ERS But GOOD ON CONTRACTOR
Gamers With Plenty of Tomatoes Are
Working to Full Capacity to Pack
as Many as They Possibly Can


A glut in tomatoes has forced tha
price down to 10 cents basket. Those
who contracted with the packers are
receiving 30 cents, but the growers
who decided to take their chances on
the open market have lost heavily
During the early spring the Gamers
and the growers had some difficulty
agreeing on a price. The Gamers
wanted the farmers to contract at 25
cents a basket, but very few signed up
for this price. Most growers con-
tracted for 80 cents and some Localities
more. At the time the Gamers said
they would be able to get tomatoes
for less, and last week tomatoes were
selling for anything they would bring.
some as low as 10c a basket. Tomato
patches are turning out plenty of to-
matoes. Factories are working night
and day to keep up with the growers.
Since the canneries started the brok-
ers have had difficulty in selling. Feb
ruary futures brought more than
spots last week. This is something
unusual, it is claimed. The growers
who failed to contract will lose money.
and the Gamers will not make any
thing unless the price gets firmer.
Both Gamers and growers cannot un-
derstand the peculiar condition of
the present market. With practically
no tomatoes in the country and the
Gamers just starting their plants, the
price for canned tomatoes drops be-
low the price paid for futures in Feb
ruary. One prominent packer on the
Delmarva Peninsula stated that the
average packing house operates ON
borrowed capital, and before long they
would be compelled to sell their can
ned tomatoes at whatever price the
Wholesale dealers would pay in order
to meet the banks demands. 1t is be
ieved that some of the Gamers will
be forced to make an assignment be-
fore long if the price does not get bet
ter. Then, it is hinted the banks will
get theirs and the growers will be out.
This has happened before now, ana
some look for it to happen again. In
the meantime, the growers are haul
ing their tomatoes to the factories in
large quantities and the packers are
canning them just as fast as they
can.

HOW POULTRY CULLING IS DONE
Demonstration To Take Place on VIM.
G. AnthOny's Farm, Near Smyrna
on Tuesday, September %

All commercial poultry raisers, as
well as those farmers who are keen
ing small tiOcks as a side line to their
general farming, in the vicinities of
Smyrna and Clayton will be interested
to know that a culling demonstration
and field meeting has been scheduled
for Tuesday afternoon, September %.
at o'clock at the farm of William G.
Anthony. This demonstration will be
conducted by Hoke S. Palmer, Exten-
sion POultryman of the University of
Delaware, who assumed his new du-
ties as poultry specialist for the State
OF Delaware on July l, of this year.
and who will work in cooperation with
the County Extension Agents in ar
ranging culling demonstrations and
other poultry projects in each of the
three counties. As this is the first
opportunity the poultry raisers in Del
aware have had the services of an ex-
tension poultry specialist, the type of
work which Mr.. Palmer and the other
agricultural extension representatives
hope to perform will undoubtedly
meet with the hearty approval of
every one who is interested in profit
able poultry production. Arrange
ments for the culling demonstration
at Mr.. AnthOny's place were made bv
County Agent Russell E. Wilson, who
has also scheduled two other field
meetings in the western and southern
parts of the county during the same
week. Demonstrations, similar to the
one to be conducted on the Anthony
farm on Tuesday afternoon, Septem-
Der Y, will be held on the farms of
Otto Zacher, near Hartly on Monday
afternoon, September 21, and on the
farm of William P. Poole, south of
Harrington, on Wednesday afternoon.
September %. With the assistance
and advice Of the leading poultry pro
ducers in the State, Mr.. Palmer and
the County Agents hope to formulate
a program which will have as its chief
object the elimination of all inferior
and productive stock from the
various t1Ocks, as we'll as the correct
ing of any Matching and feeding or
general management problems that
are seriously affecting the develop
ment Of the poultry industry in this
section of the country. 1t should be
the desire of every poultryman to
know the improved methods of select
ing from his flock the non-producing
hens which are absolutely worthless
from the standpoint of profitable egg
production. In view of these facts,
therefore, it is expected that large
number of poultry raisers in these
different communities will attend
these culling demostratios.
