Milford High School is putting
forth a determined effort to land
first place in the Kent County Track
and Field Meet next Friday at Do
yer. Although handicapped by not
having a playground teacher as IN
former years, the teachers are
bound that Milford will secure
worthy place in the scoring column
Mr.. Barsby is in charge OF the
preparations and he is being ably
assisted by Miss Helen Lotz, MISS
Mary Elizabeth Heindle and MISS
Blanche D. w. Warden, in the high
school and Miss Sue Kern in the
grades. Last year Milford placed
second and the teachers want 10
better that record this year. the
local schools have the greatest DIS

gives the other schools, or at least

advantage as they do not have trans

Quoted along this particular line IN
Kent county this spring by f. ).
Lagasse, Assistant HOrticulturlst OF
the University of Delaware Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
Mr.. Lagasse spent the greater part
of last week in Kent county working
on this project in cooperation with
County Agent Russell E. Wilson, and
succeeded in establishing these pol
lination experiments in the large
commercial orchards of VIM. D.
Denney, near Cowgills Corner; Her
bert c. Richardson and Reuben r.
Brown, near Rising Sun.
The experiment in the Denney or
chard is to determine the pracuDll-
ity and effectiveness of placing
branches of yellow Transparent
booms in several trees of the Early
Ripe variety WIFI q view " SSSuA -
a desirable set of fruit on the Early
Ripe trees this coming season. 1t is
a recognized fact that the Early Rlp'
variety is self-sterile, which means
that these trees when planted IN sol
id blocks by themselves will no
weld a profitable crop of fruit, so l
is of importance that some othe
variety which is a good pollenlze
for this particular variety be use'
for this purpose. =.
The most satisfactory and practi
cal method by which to remedy thi
situation is to plant other varietie
with the Early Ripe at the time tn
young orchard is being set. In tn
case of old orchards, however, 1t
recommended that the trees be toy

ACRONOMIST SAYS LATE
SEASON RETARDS CORN
Fertilizers Must Be Used To Force
Crops He Says

George L. Schuster, agronomlst at
the University of Delaware, has IS
sued a bulletin on the corn SITUATION
in Delaware:
The season is backward and the
nlanting of corn delayed and the
hest insurance for a good corn crop
is a good fertilizer application. Ten
davs to two weeks may be saved IN
the growing and ripening Of the corn
crop. Fertilizers help the crop make
a quick start, gives rapid grown,
early maturity and larger yields OF
higher quality. Fifteen years results
at the Delaware Experiment Statlon
shows that where no fertilizer was
used there was 500 sound corn,
where a complete fertilizer was used
there was $3.50 sound corn. Where
applications of barnyard manure
were made there was 87%o sounG
corn. One can reasonably expect "a
tn 3O9o increase in sound corn by the
use of fertilizers and manure. These
fe1,res cover a sufficient length oi
time to include both normal and lat'
seasons for corn. The season OF 19z4
was generally known as a soft corr
wear. That year the unfertilize'
nIots gave 500 sound corn while tn,
completely fertilized plots gave SST
sound corn and the manure plot guy
sound corn. A good fertilizer TO
corn on soils of fair fertility is on
containing 2T5 nitrate, 1870 phos
nhoric acid and 40 potash.

MARYLAND CAPON FARM
PROVES VERY PROFITABLE
DOrcester County Woman Realized
$4,000 From 900 Birds

One of the most interesting bits OF
noultrv news released on the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore in many years
is the recent record of the Standard
Poultry Farm, operated by V. Mon
tell. near Cambridge, Dorcester
County, Nd, where an experiment OF
less than one year in specializing
with Jersey Black Giants capons'
has resulted in the sale of the entire
flock of more than 600 birds, aver
aging from twelve to fifteen pounos
each in weight, at a price Whlcn
ranged from sixty to sixty-dve cents
ner pound. Briefly speaking the
Standard Farm shipped about three
tons of dressed poultry to the New
York market, for which they receiV-
ed in the neighborhood of $4,000.
This fact is additionally empha-
sized by the statement of Mrs. Wiz
ginia Mcntell, who with her hus-
hand and son operate the poultry en-
terprise. who announces that they
could have disposed of ten times tins
number in capons had they hac
them.
Judging from Mrs. MontelIs ex

TAX DELINQUENTS
MUST PAY STATE
TAX BEFORE MAY IS
Letters Notifying Those Who
Have Not Paid Mailed This
Week.
WILL TAKE ACTION
Legal Penalties And Interest Of
Five Per Cent Will Be In
posed.

Letters of notification to all tax
ables who failed to file 1925 state
school tax returns were mailed on
Monday, P. S. DUPONT, tax commits
sioner, announced. These letters
notify those who have failed to pay
the filing fee and such income tax
as may be due, of the privilege of
submitting their returns for 1925
at any time prior to May Is with
penalties and interest of five per
cent and one per cent per month,
and further state that Immediately
after May Is the filing fee and tax
will be doubled.
1t was suggested that taxables
upon receipt of the letter imme-
diately communicate with one of the
three offices at either Wilmington,
Dover or Georgetown, in order that
payment may be made or arranged
before the expiration date of the
lesser penalties.
Arrangements have been made not
only to aid taxables in preparing
their returns, but also to visit de-
linquents who fail to respond to the
notification and to proceed in &C
cOrdance with the law to collect the
tax.
Contrary to belief in some quar-
ters that the school tax cannot be
collected, it was pointed out that
the statute clothes the Tax Depart
ment with the most rigid collection
powers, which will be enforced by
legal action in those cases in which
it is found necessary.
Although the notification now be
ing mailed refers only to 1925 1elin
quency, those who have failed tt
pay for other years will be similar
" notified within a short time ther'
after and the same methods follow
ed in the collection of the tax.
In cases where the computation
of the tax and interest is not under
stood, the information showing TO
tai income and expenses for eacl

offices where assistance in deter

HIGHWAY POLICE
ENFORCING LAWS
Trucks Weighing 5000 Pounds
Or Over Must Keep Within
Twenty-Five Miles.

Growers and shippers of truck and
produce from the lower Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula who are using motor
truck transportation to convey their
crops to the markets in Philadelphia,
New Jersey and New York are decid-
edly wrought up over the enforce
ment of the traffic regulation in Del
aware which demands reduction in
speed of all trucks weighing with
load, 5000 pounds or more, to twen-
ty-five miles per hour instead OF
thirty-five.
The Delaware State Highway reg
ulations have provided for this speed
limit for trucks reaching the weight
mentioned since 1921, but this is the
first season that enforcement has
been seriously undertaken. Chief En-
gineer c. D. Buck, of the Delaware
State Highway Department, explains
the action as being due entirely to
the extreme increase in heavy truck
traffic and the damage done to high
ways by excessively heavy loads
moved at high speed.
There has been a very rapid
growth in truck travel over Della
ware highways during the last two
or three years. From records at the
weighing stations maintained by the
State Highway Department, especial
" on the western side of Sussex
county. this increase has jumped
from twenty or twenty-five trucks a
day to approximately one hundred
within the same period, in less than
two years.
Practically all of this truck ser
vice carries crops from. the lower
sections of the peninsula and they
are heavily loaded as a rule. The
growers have found that they obtain
top prices in the larger nearby mar
kets by early delivery and the truck
transportation solves this problem.
The complaint of the growers anC
shippers regarding the speed regula
ton is that when restricted to TWEEN
ty-five miles per hour in passing
through Delaware, they lose practl
cally an hour between Delmar ant
Wilmington, distance of ninet!
miles.
One driver who has been carrying
turnip greens and brocOlli to tn
New York market from Accoma
, County, Va, for several weeks, eX
planned that before the regulation
was enforced he could make the tril
in about ten hours, and sometime
slightly less, but now he canno
make it under eleven to eleven an
one-half hours.
The Delaware State Police are ac
tive in checking up on the heaVll
loaded trucks and while not causin
arrest for the first offense they al
/, warning drivers against the violatio
and severe action will be take
|, where it is not needed.
Trucks of less than the 500
/, mound limit and those making retur
trips without load, and having pnel
matte tires, are still permitted
travel at the thirty-five mile an ho'
speed limit
