MILK PRODUCERS WILL
ENJOY RADIO PROGRAM
Schenectady Station Will Discuss
Marketing Problems.

An address on the marketing of
milk will be featured on the weekly
agricultural program of WGY, Sche-
nectady, Monday evening, March 8.
The speaker will be DR.. H. A. Ross,
an assistant professor of marketing
in the New York State College of
Agriculture and a former member of
the staff of the dairy department of
the University of Illinois. DR.. Ross
has conducted a great deal of re-
search work in dairy farm cost ac-
counting and economic analysis of
milk production, including two years
spent in the study of the Chicago
milk market. A careful study of the
milk consumption of a million fam
lilies in greater New York has been
made, this study bearing particular
" on the sales records of all large
milk distributors. For example this
study has taken account of the tluc-
tuation in demand due to season, the
day of the week, holidays, tempera-
ture, and price changes. Market de-
mands can now be predicted to a
fair degree of accuracy and dairy
men are no longer in the dark as to
what city customers want.
Seymour R. Hayes, of Oswego,
president of the New York State I'M
plement Dealers Association will
speak of the relation and duty of
the implement dealers to the farm
er. Mr.. Hayes is general manager
of a large farm and dairy supply
business with headquarters in Os-
wego.
Getting Farm Machinery Ready
for the Spring Work" will be the
subject of Charles H. Baldwin, di-
rector of the Bureau of State Insti-
tuition Farms of the New York State
Department of Farms and Markets.
He has supervision of the farms con-
nected with the AZ state institutions,
including over $4,000 acres and rep
resenting a total Investment of $S,-
100000 of which $225,000 is invested
in farm machinery and implements,

GRAHAM PLEADS
GUILTY TO CHARGE
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Harrington Man Tells Story Of
Killing OF Gordon c. Riley
Last November.
TWENTY YEARS SENTENCE
Graham Must Pay $1,000 Fine In
Addition To Prison Sentence
At WOrkhOuse.

Clarence w. Graham, recently in
dicted for first degree murder in
connection with the killing of Cor
don C. Riley, at Harrington, last
November, pleaded guilty in Court of
Oyer and Terminer Monday morning
to manslaughter.
Chief Justice Pennewill for the
Court sentenced Graham, TO serve 20
years in the New Castle County
WorkhOuse and to pay a fine of
$1,000.
Graham was first arranged on the
charge of murder to which he plead
ed not guilty. 1t was then that he
entered the plea of guilty to man
slaughter and this plea was accepted
by the State.
Attorney General Clarence G.
Southerland in accepting the plea
to guilty of manslaughter informed
the court that after questioning the
witnesses he felt that Graham on
the testimony could not be convict
ed of murder and therefore the state
would accept the guilty plea of
manslaughter. Graham was repre-
sented by James M. Satterfield and
Melvin Hopkins.
The killing of Riley caused a SEN
sation in the vicinity of Harrington,
both men being well known. He
died in Philadelphia hospital the
day following the shooting, he hav-
ing been taken to the hospital by
a Harrington physician in an auto
mobile.
After the State had accepted the
plea of guilty to manslaughter, Gra-
hams attorney called him to the
stand and had him to tell the court
his version of the fight with Riley.
Graham said that Riley came to
his house the morning in question
to make settlement for claim that
he (Graham) had against Riley for
work, labor and material.
Graham said his bill was 5000 and
that Riley remarked it should not be
more than S17S. He testified that
Riley handed him a check for $3.50
and when he objected to the amount
Riley told him he would either take
that or get nothing and started to
pull the check out of his (Graham's)
hand.
In the tussle that followed, Gra-
ham said that both fell on the kit
chen floor. He said Riley pulled a
gun from his pocket and that it was
then that he (Graham) picked up
the hammer in question for the pur-
pose of trying to knock the pistol
from Riley's hand. He admitted
when he failed in his purpose OF
knocking the gun from Riley's hand
that he then hit him over the head
with the hammer.
Graham testified that he and Riley
were both on the floor fighting for
the gun and that it was during the
tussle that the two shots were fired
both of them hitting Riley. One shot
penetrated his stomach and the
other his back. He was cross-eX-
amined by Attorney General South
erland and insisted that the gun
was Riley's.
Several character witnesses were
called in behalf of Graham and his
world war record was also testified

METHODTSTS DISCUSS
POSSIBLE PASTORAL CHANGES
Rev. D. w. Jacobs OF Milford May
Go To Goodman Church, Wilmington

District superintendents of the
Wilmington Conference of the Meth
Odist Episcopal Church are prepar-
ing tentative lists of changes to be
made in the pastorates of various
churches throughout the conference
at the coming annual conference to
be held in Dover beginning March
oath.
Among the rumOred changes are
Rev. R. P. Nichols, of Pocomoke
City, Md, will be sent to Easton,
where the official board Of the
church there has asked for him. Rev.
Disston W. Jacobs, of Milford, who
has requested a change is expected
to be transferred to Wilmington,
and may possibly become pastor Of
Goodman Memorial Church, where
Rev. w. NJ Mowbray has retired.
A number of important matters
that it was expected to have cleared
up before this time have been de-
layed owing to the illness of Bishop
William H. Mcdowell, who recently
returned from a trip to California,
and has since been confined to his
bed in Washington. His early re-
covery is expected, however, and as
soon as he is able to resume work
some important changes that are
contemplated for the coming session
will probably be made public.

FREE TREES FOR
DELAWARE FARMERS
State Board OF Agriculture Pro-
vides Pine, Poplar And Oak
Without Charge.

A large percentage Of the farmers
in Delaware own waste land which
cannot be profitably used for gen
eral farming, but which could be
used satisfactorily for growing tim
ber.
Realizing the economic advan-
tages that would accrue from re-
forestration work in Delaware, the
legislature, at it's last session, pass
ed a bill appropriating S5OO.OO for
this work. This bill provided that
the funds appropriated be turned
over to the State Board of Agricul-
ture to be used for refOrestration
purposes.
The State Board of Agriculture
was advised by the National FOres-
try Department at Washington that
the following varieties Of trees
should be planted: Loblolly Pine,
Yellow Pine, Tulip Poplar, Red Oak
and Black Locust.
Other varieties could be grown,
but the ones named are the varie-
ties which the department thought
most profitable for Delaware, be
cause of the fact that they are all
fast growing trees.
The State Board of Agriculture
recently met with Clayton Bunting,
business manager of the Bunting
Nurseries, Selbyville, Delaware, who
agreed to grow and obtain seeding
for the board at very reasonable
figure and to dispose of them among
the farmers of our state.
While this work is new in Della
ware, the board hopes to be able to
supply some trees this spring, free
to the farmers. The farmers, how
ever, must call for the trees at Sell
byville or pay freight charges on
them.
Any persons desiring these trees
should communicate with the State
Board of Agriculture, Dover.

GOVERNOR ROBINSON
ESCAPES INJURY in
AUTOMOBILE UPSET
His Car Overturned When Wheel
Left Concrete ROadbed And
Sunk In Mud.
OTHERS SLIGHTLY BRUISED
Mrs. Robinson And Mrs. Edgar
Hare, In Car With Executive,
Shaken Up.

Governor and Mrs. Robert P. Rob-
inson, Mrs. Edgar Hare and Shan
ley d. PrOuse had a narrow escape
from serious injury on Tuesday
when the Governors automobile Ov-
erturned on the du Pont Boulevard
near odessa. 1t is considered mir
acle that the entire party was not
seriously injured.
Governor Robinson sustained a
slight cut on one finger Mrs. Rob-
insOn and Mrs. Hare are both suf-
fering from nervousness and bruises.
Mr.. PrOuse, who was driving the
car, and is the State Auto Titling
Officer, was uninjured.
The car, a sedan, was badly dam
aged. Spokes in the right front
wheel were torn loose and all the
glass on the right side broken out.
The accident happened as the Gov
ernOr and his party were going to
Dover to take part in the exercises
incident to the presentation of tab
let to the State by the Colonel Has
let Chapter, Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution.
Mr.. PrOuse turned the car to one
side of the highway to pass another
machine coming up a hill near
Odessa and in turning out, the right
front wheel dropped off the con-
crete onto the shoulder of road.
When the driver attempted to bring
the machine back to the highway it
skidded and overturned.
J. J. Williams, of Smyrna, took the
Governor and those with him to Do
yer after the accident. The Governor
took part in the tablet unveiling ex-
ercises as though nothing had oc-
CURED. The damaged car was tOwed
to a garage at Odessa and later the
Packard Company in Wilmington
towed the damaged machine to Will
mington, and sent another car to
Dover to bring the Governor home.
The Governor said he was glad to
hear the State Highway Department
was going to put stone on the
shoulders of the concrete road
where the accident happened, as it
might prevent similar accidents.
eve are alright" Governor Robin
son said, "and we are glad things
turned out as they did"
Mr.. PrOuse, who was driving, is a
friend of the Governors.

BOILER INSPECTOR WARNS
AGAINST OLD BOILERS
Buyers OF Old Boilers Should Con-
suit Inspector Before Buying

The Board of Boiler Rules Of
Delaware emphasizes to steam boil
er users of this state that it cannot
allow the importation of any steam
boiler, stationary, portable or trac-
ton, into the state unless it is bullt
according to the code Of the Amerl-
can Society of Mechanical Engineers
or is equal in construction to that
code.
The board has been actuated in
giving such warning by the fact that
the neighboring States are getting
more strict in the inspection OF
steam boilers and because of the
natural tendencies of the owners OF
old boilers in those States to try to
unload them on other persons.
Thomas R. Archer, chief inspector
of this state, cautions all prospec-
tive purchasers of secondhand
boilers to consult him before making
such purchases. Mr.. Archer will give
advice as to the law and as to whe-
ther the boiler in question can be
brought into and legally operated In
this state.
All steam boilers used in this
state must be inspected by Mr..
Archer or an insurance inspector
and a certificate issued permitting
the operation of boilers found to be
in proper condition and conforming
to all requirements.
Before you invest your money in
a secondhand boiler, be sure you
will be able to use it after you have
bought it," is the caution sounded
by Mr.. Archer.
Mr.. Archer's offices are on the
mezzanine floor of the county build
ing, Wilmington, phone $3.50.

5000 POUNDS OF
ROCK FISH CAUGHT
One Haul OF The Seine Lands One
And One-HaIf Tons OF Rock
Fish Off Cedar Beach.

Fishermen in the Delaware Bay,
off Cedar Beach, which is just six
miles from Milford, have been catch
ing large quantities of rock, perch
and other fish since the month of
February came in. Last Friday, Feb
ruary 18th, Captain Williamson and
Captain KINNEY of Milford, seined
304 rock alone, which weighed from
two to eighteen pounds each, making
a total of 300 pounds; no mention of
the perch, which filled several bar
rels. This catch was shipped to
Philadelphia market. The fishing
point is near the AIispillion Light
house in the Delaware Bay.
Monday the fishermen again had
good luck in their work and landed
396 rock in addition to perch, fioun-
ders and catfish. This shipment to-
tailed another 5000 pounds of fish,
which makes a total of three tons of
rock fish in two days fishing; all of
which went to the city markets.
This winter has been one of great
catches of fish for the men engaged
in the enterprise at Cedar Beach.
The feeding grounds in that part of
the Delaware Bay attracts the fish in
large numbers, and the seine own
ers have reaped a large harvest in
cash from their operations at that
point.
The Milford market can use only
a very small part of the catch, so
the fishermen ship their fish to
Philadelphia and New York, where
they have received fine prices.
1t requires strong seines to hold
these hard fighting fish and seines
are costly; but the catches have re-
imbursed the first cost many times
over
