LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
INVESTIGATES STATES
OYSTER SOURCE
Continued from first page)

George Walls, marine engineer, to
Investigate the sanitary conditions
of the waters in which the oyster
beds are located, dangers of pollu-
ton from tributary streams, and
other facts to devise the best means
of protecting the oyster beds. The
is to make a report
back to the joint committee which
in turn will make it's recommenda-
tions to the General Assembly.
The joint committee was address,
ed by DR.. Arthur T. Davis, head of
the State Health and Welfare As
sociation, also secretary of the State
Board of Health, at whose request
the joint meeting was called, who
outlined what the Department of
Agriculture is doing toward setting
up of uniform standards for the pre-
vention of typhoid germs in oysters.
1t was explained that the object of
the conference was to study preven-
tative measures against any danger
of injury to one of the States most
industries, one of its most
profitable sources of food, and to
cooperate with the government and
other states for the protection of its
oyster beds.
Would Empower Attorney General.
Following a lengthy discussion
over the question of uniform fishing
laws covering the Delaware river
and bay between Delaware and New
Jersey, the Senate made final con.
of a House concurrent
a special order for Thurs
lay afternoon at o'clock.
This resolution provides that:
whereas in 1905 a treaty was enter
I'd into between the two states and
by Congress, for the pur-
pose of securing uniform fishing
avs; the General Assembly of Del
lware in 1928 passed an act provid-
ng uniform fishing laws, as the
of the State of New Jer-
icy has not yet passed a similar act
he Attorney-General of Delaware
would be empowered to represent
Delaware residents who may be
by the New Jersey courts
or any alleged violation or viola
ions of the fishing laws or regula-
ions covering the river or bay.

BIG STRAWBERRY CROP
EXPECTED in SUSSEX

who have made an examination of
the ground. Left without proper at
tention, any soil, it is stated would
soon prove barren, but the straw
berry patches are looked after and
fed just the same as other farm
land, and Sussex soil has proven one
of the very best in the country for
strawberry culture.
Data assembled by the Bureau of
Markets indicates that hundreds of
acres will be devoted to strawberry
culture this spring and already
some Of the farseeing growers have
contracted for the foreign labor
they will bring to Delaware to pick
the berries. The bulk of this will
come from Baltimore but others
have arranged with employment
York to send them whole families of
Italian labor for the berry season.
An examination of the strawberry
patches, give much encouragement
for big crop, so far as present OBJ
servatiOns go. The patches look live
and strong and while it is not pos
sible until the weather warns up
more, to forecast the result if the
spring is not too wet or too dry,
some growers expect the biggest
crop they have ever harvested.
Contrary to the Georgetown report
more farmers are planning to "cold
pack" strawberries this spring than
ever before The. cold pack process is
one that each farmer keeps a secret
unto himself. They each have their
own particular way of packing the
berries into huge barrels, the same
size as vinegar barrels, and while
they will not avoid following the
packing process in view of others,
there are little kinks and angles to
the packing process they will not
disclose, and which is never diVulg-
ed from father to son and son on.
The general method followed is to
pack sound berries between success
5ive layers of granulated sugar. The |
barrel is sealed and made airtight, |
and if properly done, it is said the |
berries will last indefinitely. These |
are the strawberries you eat in No
7ember and December in your ice |
cream and sometimes in your sundae |
)ver the soda fountain But only good
sound berries are used, because if
he fruit should be soft or the least
)it decayed, it might spoil the en-
ire barrel.
Others who preserved strawberries

his fashion. Trucking companies

trawberries to points within eight

prices for the early crop, but the
worlds wheat acreage and the de-
velopments in the condition of the
1925 crop will determine the market
trend and ultimately the price.
Wheat prices declined sharply
during the week ending February z
when it became apparent that the
expected shortage of bread grains
upon which recent excessive specu-
latiOn was based was not likely to
materialize. May wheat at Chicago
closed on Friday, February at
S1.91 compared with S2.0215, the pre-
vious weeks close.
Worlds commercial stocks of
wheat are heavier at this time than
any year since the war. High prices
are causing a heavier movement of
wheat from Argentina and Australia
and at the same time are forcing
economy in consumption, indicating
that no serious world shortage of
wheat is apparent at this time.
No serious damage has been re-
ported to date in the winter wheat
Of the United States and Canadian
crops. 1t is yet too early to deter

FARMERS INTERESTED
In EARLY TOMATOES
(continued from frst pagel


year. A similar report was received
rom Talbot county. However, their
plan differs in that they plan to use
an early maturing variety. Have the
plans grown in the South, with the
idea of shipping the first of the crop
to market and later selling for can
ming.
Mr.. Radebaugh, State canning
crops specialist, then gave an inter
esting talk on early tomato culture
for both early market and early
canning.
The growers present then decided
to take up project similar to that
contemplated by Talbot county. That
is, they expect to use Southern
grown plants of an early maturing
variety, with the idea of shipping to
market as long as returns justify,
and then selling for early canning.
It is planned to work with Dorches-
ter and Talbot in having the plants
raised in the South, under special
supervision.
In order to handle the proposition
in a regular and orderly manner, an
Early Tomato Growers Association
was formed, and the following Of
ficers elected: Joseph Carroll, pres
ident; J. A. Mitchell, vice-president;
I. T. Salisbury, Jr., secretary; Chas.

Capitalists Suppress
L o c al Politicians
Move to Recall Hoan

Especial to The Daily WorkerJ
MILWAUKEE,, Wise, Jan. 2s.-An
attempt by local politicians to initiate
a move for the recall Of Socialist
Mayor Hoan is meeting with little sue
cess. It sesms that local socialists
prove themselves good servants to the
capitalist and the latter do not care
to spend any money for the recall Of
Mayor Hoan.
The movement for recall started
when Mayor Hoan appointed a social
list as ire chief and disregarded
seniority rights in the fire dept. The
local politicians initiated a movement
for recall but the whole thing is rapid
ly fading away since the socialists
are no longer feared by the capitalists.
During the last year the socialist
party has rapidly declined in prestige
and influence since the workers are
more and more convinced that the
socialist party is but another part of
the capitalist class.

NEW YORK, Jan. %. - United

this afternoon to let Harry M. Daugh-
erty, formerly United States attorney
general, testify at the conspiracy trial
OF CASTOR B. Means, detective, and
Thomas d. Elder, attorney. as to the
real truth about some things that
fought to be told" about official
Washington.
The court directed Daugherty, a de-
Tense witness, not to give testimony
about immaterial matters after
Daugherty had remarked that There
are some heIl-bound and spell-bound
people in Washington"
Means and Fielder, accused OF bride
taking in the Glass Casket company

erty as a character witness. When
the former attorney general was ask.
ed whether he could testify as 10
Felder's integrity he replied:
'If the court win let me take the
liberty, / win state that I could moi
testify as to the integrity and honesty
of any man, especially If he held
high government position. II he were
a high public official, he would be all
the more subject to attack.
Il could not testify as to my own
reputation the minute l get away from
this"
At another point Daugherty observ.
ed: III the court win allow me to
say this, should be glad to TESTIFY
to anything that would be for the
general good of the public. There
are some hell-bound and some spell.
bound people in Washington. The
real truth of some things ought to
be told"
Asked what he could say about
Means, Daugherty responded:
Il knew CASTOR Means like l knew
hundreds Of thousands Of other gov
eminent employees"
Means on a number Of occasions
was an investigator for the bureau of

Program on Child Labor

The congress last spring submitted
to the states for ratification TWEEN
tieth amendment to the constitution
which reads as follows:
Section 1.-The congress shall have
power to limit, regulate and prohibit
the labor of persons under eighteen
years OF age.
Section 1.-THE power Of the sew
eral states is unimpaired by this ar
ticle except the operation of state
laws shall be suspended to the ex.
tent necessary to give effect to leg
islation enacted by congress.
This amendment was passed in the
house on April 26, 1924, by vote of
297 to SO. 1t was passed in the SEN
ate on June 2, by a vote of 81 to 20.
To adopt the amendment thirty six
states must ratify. In 1924, three
state legislatures have acted, Arlzan-
sas, Wisconsin, California, Arizona
and several other states have ratified
the amendment.
According to the statistics issued
by the federal department of labor
and the United States census bureau
there are 100000 children between
the ages Of 10 and is years at work
in agricultural, manufacturing, and min
ing occupations. That this number
does not represent the actual number
Of child slaves is admitted even by
the department of labor which points
out that no statistics were gathered
on children under the age Of 10. that
the census (192O) was taken during
January when many farm slaves go
to school, and that no account was
taken Of employment like home indus.
