SEEKING TO CONTROL MUSERAT
MARSHES ALONG BAY SHORE
FOREIGN SYNDICATES REPORT
ED ANXIOUS TO BY MARSHES
Fur and Carp Seems to Be an Indus
try that is Alluring to Many from
Woodland Beach and ON Up

The noising far and wide of Della
wares fame as the habitat of the best
muskrats in the country has resulted
in the lively bidding by three fur con-
Germs, one of Philadelphia, one of New
York and one of st. Louis, for control
of the fur and carp industry in the
marshes from Delaware City to Tay-
lor's Bridge, below Appoquinimink
creek, it is reported. Engineers and
surveyors representing the New York
and Philadelphia concerns have been
surveying the land during the past
two weeks, and the arrival of a repre-
sentative of the st. Louis concern,
which is now completing organization,
is expected shortly. The efforts of the
three different concerns to get posses
sion of the fur and carp industry will
undoubtedly have the effect of boost
ing prices for the marshes and the
contention among them, it seems GER
tain, will terminate with lively bid
ding for the lands 1t is estimated
that from six to seven hundred acres
of marsh land in the section now be-
ing sought will yield from $1,000 to
$4,000 in muskrat furs in a good sea-
son. The "rats" of Delaware are re
garded as the best in the country. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture some time ago made study of
the muskrat conditions of Delaware
and reached the determination that
the Delaware "rat" fur cannot be
equalled, because of the length Of the
hair and its general condition. The
engineers for the different companies
seeking control of the industry here
have been giving consideration to the
cost of damming streams and to con-
ditions generally. The carp available
in the large area of marsh land, with
its various streams, would find a ready
market. The plan of one of the CON
Germs is to send the carp to Canada,
where it is scarce. The properties be-
ing sought belong to Mrs. Catherine
H. Fox, George Mather, John Cleaver,
John Francis and George Woodkeeper.
The three concerns have been in COM
munication with Arnold ]. Stewart, a
representative of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Biological Survey, and will send rep
resentatives to meet with him, to be
shown thoroughly over the stretch of
marshland that is wanted. The rep
resentatives of each of the concerns
will be accorded impartial considera-
tion and aid by the department repre-
sentative.

Will Be Held on Farm of Howard G.
Deakyne on Leipsic Road Wednesday
Announcement has been made from
sell E. Wilson that series Of poultry
meetings will be held in different sec
tions Of the county next week to dis
cuss the essential points to be consid-
cred in selecting the non-proftable
layers from the productive ones be-
fore tn birds are placed in their fall
and winter quarters. All these poul
try raisers who are interested in
learning more about how to crAl these
non-layers from their flocks are cor
daily invited to attend hese demon
strations which will be in charge of
H. S. Palmer, Extension Poultryman
of the University of Delaware, who
has been conducting similar field
meetings in the other two counties Of
the state this summer. Plans have
been completed for the holding Of four
meetings in Kent County next week,
and these four different farms have
been selected with view to giving all
the poultry raisers an opportunity to
attend at least one of these demon
strations, the schedule of which is as
follows: Tuesday afternon, September
Z, Denney Pleasanton, south of Dover;
Wednesday afternoon, September 8,
Howard C. Deakyne, southeast of
Smyrna, on Smyna-Leipsic road;
Friday afternoon, September 10, An
ton Vodvarka, near Hartly. One of
the interesting facts to be discussed at
these field meetings, each one of
which will start at o'clock, by Mr..
Palmer will be the records of the trap
nested birds showing the high, low,
and medium characteristics of egg
production of various individual fowls.
This part of the program is quite diff
ferent from anything that was pre-
sented to the poultrymen at the diff
ferent culling demonstrations held in
the state last year, and no doubt there
will be many of these poultry raisers
to attend these four field meetings
which have been scheduled for Kent
County during the week of September
to IL.
