cern is TO furnish electric current

and after December l. The conference
was largely over fixing upon reduced
rates not only to the Town of Clayton
which Smyrna supplies but to house
holders who may want to install cleo
trio ranges, frigidaries, motors and
other electric devices. Mr. Boileau
went into the subject atlength with
members of Council. 1t was, how
ever, agreed that Council will make
cooking rate" for householders who
will install a permanently connected
electric range and that rate viii be
made to justify such an expenditure.
In another column Council advertises
the cooking rate to become effective

wants to encourage cooking by
electricity, and the reduced rate is
made to build up the "day light load"

DA|RYMEN Of CLAYTON
MEET AT THE STRAND THEATRE
DISCUSS MILK MARKET SITUA-
TION AND MEANS FOR PROFIT
w. d. Hudson Presides Over Meeting
and Addresses Given by FL. ID. Ale
backs, Clayton Reynolds and Others


The dairymen in the vicinities of
Clayton and Smyrna who are mem
bers of the local organization Of the
Interstate Milk Producers Associa-
tion met in the Strand Theatre on Fri
day evening of last week to discuss
the present milk market situation as
it affects the farmers in Delaware and
throughout this section of the country
who are shipping milk to Philadelphia.
The chief speaker at this meeting was
H. D. Alleback, of Philadelphia, Pres
ident of the Interstate Milk Produc-
ers' Association, who explained the
plan by which the 1926 basic supply of
milk will be put into effect for the
three months beginning October l this
year. The Association has decided to
use the 1925 basic supply as the
standard on which to raise the price
of milk 35 cents a hundred pounds to
the farmers, in order that the dairy
men throughout the territory would
not follow the incentive this fall to
increase their production to take adj
vantage of this advance in price. The
object of this plan is to make it pos
sible for the farmers to realize more
profit from the extent that the mark
cts would be flooded with surplus milk
thereby causing the price to greatly
decrease as well as to fiuctuate more
according to the supply and demand
This basic and surplus plan was also
discussed by Clayton Reynolds, field
man for the Interstate Milk PrOduc
ers' Association, who is spending sew
eral days in Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland attending meetings
of the various local associations and
discussing the milk situation as it per
tains to the territory covered by the
Philadelphia markets. At the bust
ness session, which was presided over
by W. D. Hudson, following the talks
by Mr.. Alleback and Mr.. Reynolds, it
was suggested that new officers be
elected for the Smyrna-Clayton local
/. association, and that delegate be ap-
pointed to attend the annual meeting
of the Interstate Milk Producers AS
sociation in Philadelphia on November
% and %. Howard G. Deakyne was
elected president; Malcom Burris, vice
president; and John w. Vane, secre-
tary-treasurer of the local organiza-
tion for the coming year. Edward
Downs was appointed delegate and
John w. Vane as alternate to repre-
sent the Smyrna-Clayton local at the
annual meeting in Philadelphia. The
meeting last Friday evening was call
ed by E. H. Donovan, of Brenford,w
has served as one of the directors of
the Interstate Milk Producers Asso-
citation for three years, and who has
devoted much of his time and efforts
in behalf of the farmers of Kent
county and the state in aiding them
to secure more profitable returns from
their dairy herds. Kent County Agent
Russell T. Wilson was also present al
this meeting and made an announce
ment in regard to the field meetings
which have been arranged on the
farms of A. c. Darrah and William
H. George, on September II and "a,
respectively, to demonstrate the treat
ment of seed wheat for the control of

Treating Grain in Large Quantities

When large quantities of grain are to
be treated, metal drum or a barrel
with tight fitting lid can be used to
great advantage. The grain is
placed in the container and the prop
er amount of dust added for each
bushel of seed, then the drum is seal
ed and rotated for about five minutes
to allow the dust to become thorough
ly mixed with the grains of wheat.
After the wheat has been treated it
should be placed in clean sacks so as
not to come in contact with this smut
from other sources. The wheat may
be treated and stored away for any
length of time before seeding. AS
these dusts are very poisonous they
must be handled with extreme care,
and under no circumstances should
any of the treated grain be fed to live
stock
