most of the running was done with

state corn show. Trophy cups are
also awarded each year by the Della
ware Bankers Association and the
Delaware Corn Growers Association
for the best corn exhibits and judg-
ing.
In accordance with special rul-
ing of the Board of Trustees of the
University of Delaware, one member
of the Agricultural Extension De-
partment each year for the past four
years has been given a six weeks
leave of absence for the purpose of
taking post graduate work in a sum-
mer school of an agricultural 1nstl-
tuition of his choice. The oppOrtun-
ity to take advantage Of this plan
was given to County Agent Russell
+. Wilson this year, consequently
the period from July 4 to August IA
was spent at Cornell University
where two courses in agricultural
economics and one in advanced po-
mologv were selected for post grad
uate study.
The statistical division of Mr..
Wilson's report for the year ending
December 1 shows that there were
2391 Office calls recorded, 1926 per-
sonal letters written, 12,06O copies
of circular mail sent out to the far
mers, 6694 miles travelled, and 400
farms visited relative to some Eartic-
ular phase of farm work. A total
of 50 days were spent in the Office,
and III days in the field, in addition
to the leave of absence previously
mentioned. Within the past year %
unconstitutional meetings were held
with a total attendance OF 49S, aside
from the planning and attending 81
other extension and agricultural
meetings which were attended by
4532 people. A total Cf 120 news ar
ticles were also written and publish
ed in the newspaper of the county
and state thereby placing the activi-
ties of the extension work III the
county before the pubic in general.
The narrative portion of the an
nual report for this past year con-
sists of 60 pages giving an account
of the activities of the county agent
and of this number pages are maps
showing the types and locations Of
the various demonstrations and eX-
neriments conducted in the county,
and 7 pages contain IA photographs
illustrating some of the outstanding
features of the work for the year

THE modern English cottage
can be expressed best in ma
u sonry. Possibly this is the
reason Harold H. Davis of New
Haven, Conn.,, chose this type for
his entry in the recent competition
Of the Architectural Club for small
homes of concrete masonry.
Mr.. Davis received one of the
awards made by the jury.
The informality of a cottage of
this type appeals to many who are
contemplating home building. It
is a type that presents an oppOr-
tunity to get away from stereo-
typed architecture, and prior to
the rapid progress made in build
ing attractive homes in America
during the past two or three years.
1t was certainly not long ago when
American architecture could well
be described as stereotyped.
One problem in small house de-
'dgn is to prevent stiff and stilted
exterior appearance. With small
areas to work with, this is difficult
IN compact design, but how well
Nj. Davis has overcome these diff
culties is shown, for example, in
the living room, which has three
exterior exposures.
Walls are of concrete masonry
finished with portland cement
stucco. The roof has a fireproof
covering.
When asked how he happened to
design this house of concrete ma
sonry, Mr.. Davis said: "My

The value of dairy products in
Kent county, as taken from the 1925
Census. amounts to $690,200 which
represents the cash return from the
sale of milk, cream and butter pro-
duced by approximately twelve
thousand cows. The majority of these
cattle are grade Holsteins and Guer-
nseys, with a few pure bred herds
scattered throughout the county. The
chief project in dairy development
during the past year has been the
consideration of grade A milk plants
in the southern part of the county
where a great deal of interest is be-
ing shown by the dairymen in at
tempting to bring about this much
desired change in their milk mark
citing program. Cooperation has al
so been extended by the County
Agent in the activities of the various
local units of the Interstate MIX
Producers Association in different
sections of the county.
Four farm tours were included IN
this years program, one OF which
was confined to the grape districts IN
Kent county, while the poultry and
farm management tours were OF
statewide nature, and the tomato
inspection trip comprised the two
states of Delaware and Maryland.
The Farm Bureau and the Grange
are the two outstanding agricultural
organizations in the county, and the
county agent cO-operates with these
groups of rural people in every way
possible in promoting a sound pro
gram for the county and state. In
addition to these two organizations,
the county agent also works IN mar
mony with the Kent Grape Growers
Association, the Peninsula Hortlcul-
tural Society and the Delaware Hol-
stein Friesian Association, all OF
which are functioning in this coun-
tv and state at the present time.
During the course of each year
some time is devoted to arranglnS
and attending conferences and meet
ings at which suggestions are re-
ceived for the planning OF sultaDle
program of work. The fruit growers
school. which has been conducted at
camden with the cooperation OF the
Fruitland Grange and the Vocatlonal
Department of Caesar Rodney School
for the past three years, is included
in this particular group of meetings.
An agricultural conference was also
arranged at the State College Tor
Colored Students last spring to con-
slider some of the most practlcal
methods whereby the extension de-
partment may be of service TO TINS
class of farmers in the county ana
state.
Assistance and cooperation is eX-
tended by the county agent TO tne
bows and girls club work whlch Is
conducted under the supervision pI
the County Club Agent. Subject mat.
ter is furnished for the projects OF
the bows when needed, and help is
also given in checking up the demon
strations at the close of the cluD
year. AS a means of encouraging
the boys club work in the state the
Dover Rotary Club has awarded
sterling silver cup for the past three
wears to the boy under sixteen years
of age in the state who exhibits the
best ten ears of corn at the annual

increased from two hundred to ap-
proximately one thousand acres of
bearing vineyards within the past
five years, and the rapid expansion
of this particular fruit industry has
resulted in additional demands upon
the Agricultural Extension Depart
ment and the Experiment Station for
assistance in the solution of the var
ious problems of fertilization and
disease and insect control. Two
spraying demonstrations were con-
Quoted in the county again this year
in addition to continuing the TWO
vineyard fertilization plots which
were established in the spring Of
1924.
Strawberry growing is also being
encouraged in the southern part OF
the county where much of the soil
is well adapted to the culture of this
particular crop. Several acres of
strawberries were set out last
spring in this area, and in all prob
ability this acreage will be increased
next year. AS means of selling
this crop an effort will be promoted
in the near future to form a cooper
ative marketing association which
will ship all the fruit in uniform
containers with attractive labels. IL
this proposed plan can be put into
effect it will be vital factor in the
agricultural improvement program
for this section of the county and the
surrounding territory.
r,YfnniTna1 nrnInRfC win
farm crops this year consisted Oh
demonstrations with corn germlna-
ton and root-rot control; and IN
treating seed wheat for the control
of the sinking smut. Alfalfa, sweet
clover, and soy beans were the three
legume crops considered in the 1926
program of work for Kent county,
and by means of demonstrations and
field meetings, the importance OF
these pasture and hay crops was
brought to the attention of the farm
ers.
Poultry raising is one of the lead
ing agricultural industries in Della
ware. and this is especially true of
the two lower counties where the
sales of eggs and chickens are the
chief sources of income from many
of the farms. According to the Uni
ted States Census for 1925 this type
value of almost four millions of dol
of farming in the entire State has
lars. In conducting the program OF
poultry improvement for Kent coun-
ty the projects selected were those
dealing with demonstration farms
and field meetings, culling demon
strations, egg grading and packing
for the New York City markets, the
farm egg laying contest and record
calendars, and the continuing of the
poultry record club which was or
ganized for the first time in the fall
of 1925 in the Dover and Wyoming
districts.

ROAD ACROSS

Continued from nrst pagel

construct, operate, and maintain
any part of the super highway with
in any State by, or through, the
State Highway Department, State
Highway Commission or other prop
er State officials.
In 1925 there were registered in
the several States 19,954,347 motor
cars and trucks, and during 1925 the
automobile manufacturers turned
out 4,175, 1865 automobiles and trucks
so that road legislation of this char
acter is of direct personal interest to
every citizen using a motor-driVen
vehicle.
Statistics for 1925 show that 70
per cent of the homes in the United
States had automobiles; that the reg
istration of farm-owned motor cars
and trucks totaled 4,992,482; that
the motorists visiting the National
Resorts totaled 14,041,311; that mo-
tor camps in the United States tot
aled 1852, and that the estimated
motor buses totaled 69,425, and
would indicate that a Federal road
as contemplated by this legislatlon'
is only a question of time. In due
course connecting roads from the
north and south would be construct
ed, it is contemplated, to feed this
great Federal super-highway.
The people of Delaware today are
ENJOYING Senator du Points foresight,
as they are riding over the du Pont
Highway, a masterpiece of highway
construction extending the full
length of Delaware, a gift OF Sena-
tor du Pont to the people of his
State. It was completed at a cost
to Senator du Pont of over $4,000
600. On July 2, 1924, the State OF
Delaware celebrated the completion
of the highway and formally accept
ed this great gift from Senator du.
Pont.
The legislation he now proposes
presents a project of national i'm
portance. 1t would be of benefit to
the postal service, both in motor and
air transportation. 1t would be
factor in national defense, for the
importance of good road facilities IN
time of war was demonstrated IN
the World War. In a general way
Senator du Points Federal highway
bill follows the plan he originally
outlined for the du POnt Boulevard
in Delaware.

MILFORD CHRISTMAS DANCE

After having conducted such sue
cessful affair last year the Carlisle
Fire Company will again hold the
annual Milford Christmas dance in
the community building. Geo. H.
Madden and his orchestra have been
engaged for Thursday evening, De-
cember SOth to furnish the music.
Prior to last year the responsible
ity and liability for the usual deficit
rested upon few of the younger
men of the town. The members of

TO hold dances much more economi-
cally and in fact realize small pro-
fit which is applied against the in
debtedness on the community build
