WARN FARMERS
OF CLOVER SEED

less than half as much as seed from
nearby sources. In fact, Maryland
red clover seed produced as well in
Michigan and Ohio as seed grown in
those States.
The tests make it clear, says Mr..
Metzger, that farmers should buy
red clover seed grown in Northern
States and from foreign sources on
ly as a last resort.
Seed from Maryland or nearby
states is recommended whenever it
is available. If it cannot be obtain
ed from these sources, a mixture of
alsike clover and alfalfa is suggest
ed as likely to be more satisfactory
than poor quality red clover.

GRATIFYING DECREASE
In 7. B. DEATH RATE
CONTINUED from nrut pags)

ed. The Delaware Anti-Tuberculo-
sis Society is expending the greater
portion of the money received from
Christmas seals in propaganda work
among thousands of school children,
and while the final results may not
be strongly apparent for many years,
yet it is believed that even more
progress will be made this year be-
cause of the added activity.
The figures for 1925 gives the
State a rate Of SO deaths per hun
dred thousand as against ia for the
year 1924. Sub-dividing this by col
or develops that there were 145
whites for 1925 who were victims as
against ia for the previous year.
Among the colored population there
was 80 for 1925, as against 81 for
the year previous. Figured by per-
centage this makes ratio of 72.5
per cent for whites as against 86.5,
and among the colored population
the death rate was 273 for 1872 as
against SO3 for 1925, which is nor
NAL, there usually being four deaths
among the colored to one among the
whites.
One of the most encouraging re-
suits which DR.. Phillips finds is that
the greatest reduction is Of the pull
monary type Qungers), and as to
age the reduction is uniform up to
so years or during the wage-earn-
ing period. In location Wilmington
shows an increase of one colored
and four whites, Sussex county one
colored victim over the year previ-
GUS but in the remainder Of the,
State including the white citizens Of
Sussex there is a substantial reduG>
tion.
