DULTRY INDUSTRY
DOUBLES In VALUE
IN PAST FIVE YEARS
Report Shows That Sales Have
Reached Large Proportions
In Few Years.
WILL COMBAT DISEASES
\ 9or'e Enemy OF Poultry Is Be-
ing Waged By Growers In
Delaware.

The tremendous strides made nv
the State Board of Agriculture and
particularly those engaged in the
poultry industry ,iG Delaware in the
past twGlye, MOI this, were pointed
Sut by DIR. Frank Hare, poultry path
'OlOgist for the State Board of Agri-
culture in his annual report lust
made public. DR.. Hare began his du-
ties in Delaware last September, and
during the past IL months has been
engaged in testing poultry, accredit-
ing hocks, and aiding the raisers of
poultry through advice and sugges-
tions whenever the flocks were at
tackled by some disease.
Some idea of how poultry raising
has grown in Delaware may be
gained from the statement that half
dozen of the leading poultry farms
in Sussex and Kent counties have
planned to double their capacity
within the next few months. 1t used
to be the case that the Matching Of
chicks began in January and con-
tinued until summer. But now, poul-
try papers carry advertisements Of
fering day old chicks from Delaware
the year round. One Sussex county
hatchery is arranging to increase it's
/ capacity to 100000 chicks a year. In
commenting on his work, and the
growth of the poultry industry IN
Delaware, DR.. Hare said:
"The value of the poultry on farms
in 1925 in this state was only ex-
ceeded by the value of all the breeds
of cattle. According to the census of
agriculture of 1925 for the State of
Delaware, the value of the chickens
on farms in that year was $1,7SS, ,591
The value of the eggs sold in 1924
, was $2,360,929. This was several
, thousand dollars in excess of the
value of dairy products sold in the
same year, while the value of chick
eIs sold in 1924 was $1,582, 1856.
would say that the total value OF
chickens and eggs alone in 1924 was
| $4,943,115. -
This was greater than the value
of the corn products in this state in
the same year by nearly a milliOT
dollars. These values are almos
double those of five years ago, ant

TOUR The STATE
DR.. H. V. Holloway Plans Visits
To All White Schools Ia Three
Counties.
WILL INSPECT BUILDINGS
Object Is To Make Survey And
Plan For Proposed Building
Program.

Members OF the State Board OF
Education will make a tour of in
spectiOn of all the white schools in
the three counties of the State with
in the next two weeks with the
view of obtaining a first-hand idea
of the needs of the schools in the
rural districts in order that they
may be provided for in the proposed
schOol-building program for Della
ware. Plans for the tour are being
made by DR.. Harry V. Holloway, su-
perintendent of public instruction of
the State Board of Education.
AS Dr. Holloway has tentatively
mapped out the trip, one day will be
devoted to each county, which will
enable the members of the State
Board of Education to visit nearly a
score Of old buildings used as
schools in each county. All of the
three counties have buildings that
are unfit for educational purposes,
but the rural sections, that is, the
one and two-room teacher schools,
removed from the more populated
sections, appear to be in the worst
condition.
While rural Sussex Scent to have
the largest number of small school
buildings that need to be replaced,
New Castle county, at Oak Grove and
Rose Hill, are two sectiols where
new buildings are necessary as bad
ly as any place in the country, After
the members of the State Beard have

up the necessity for building pro-
gram, discussions of varioIs details

House at Dover WednesdaI OF this
week, attended by the visiting teach
ers from each county and tie object
of which was to plan a S stematic
