BE HELD AT MIDDLETOWN

The twentieth ANNUAL State Corn
Show will be held at MiddletOwn,
some time in January. The exact
date has not been made. Farmers
that are interested in the Corn
Show will profit by selecting corn

their final selection for the show.
Maturity is a big factor in first

ventilated warm place will dry out
properly. Don't place corn where
there is too much heat as there is
much danger from drying corn too
quickly.

the Gulf Stream but rather come
in from the west, over the Chesa-
peake Bay.
There is, however, the Labrador
Current, a cool stream that flows
southwark next to the coast, which
undoubtedly has some affect upon
our climate, but again because of
the prevailing direction of the
winds, the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula is
saved from extreme cold weather.
In the heart of winter, temperatures
are made milder when the wind
comes from the southeast and east,
which is to be expected because all
ocean areas are warmer in this lati-
tude in winter than the adjacent
land. The moderate climate which
the Peninsula enjoys is due to the
presence of the ocean on the east
and it's general marine setting. This
fact gives the Peninsula an equable
climate as compared with the cold
winters of the regions westward on
the mainland,

FARMERS MUST BURY
HOG CHOLERA VICTIMS

So severe has the ravages of hog
cholera in Sussex and Kent coun-
ties been this fall that all the an
preparation set aside by the Cen
eral Assembly two years ago for the
purchase of serum has been expend-
ed. AS result owners of porkers
that are attacked have been COM
PEELED to purchase hog cholera SER
um through their veterinarian at
prices double the normal figure. Ac-
cording to government reports, hog
choelra has flOurished all over the
country this fall. 1t is the most
serious outbreak in many years. As
matter of fact it is almost impos-
slble now to obtain hog cholera
serum anywhere.
In speaking of the outbreak in
Delaware, Ralph Wilson, secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture,
said that Maryland health officials
had applied to him for hog cholera
serum, agreeing to pay him for it
now or return like amount as
soon as they could obtain it. Mr.
Wilson said he was compelled to
refuse the request because there
was none left. Fortunately some of
the veterinarians had private
supply on hand and this is being
speedily used up.
Il wish" said Mr.. Wilson, that
the farmers having hogs to die from
cholera could realize the necessity
of burying the porkers. According
to reports coming to us some of
them simply hauled the pigs to a
woods where they are left for the
elements or buzzards or something
else to destroy or eliminate. They
should, however, bury tn, hogs deep
enough so that they could not be a
menace to Others"
