TO INSPECT WATER SUPPLY

was strange since the children near
by school had been drinking it for
years and as he said, none of them
had been killed by it,.
There are one or two other in
stances where water, near schools
and, which might, at any time be
drunk by the children in going to
and from school, has been found to
be unfit. At any rate it is within
the authority of the State Board of
Health, and the board believes it to
be a public duty to see that the
sanitary equipment of the schools
and the drinking water is all right.
A full inspection of the sanitary
arrangements and drinking water
about any service station or road
side hot dog stand that serves the
public, will be made by R. c. Beckett
the sanitary engineer who is also
going to inspect the schools. The
State Board of Health has decided
upon a more rigid way of informing
the public against unfit water. In
stead of passing by water supply
that is unfit and ignoring it, the
board will put up a sign that will
read: Don't Drink This Water"
The roadside stands and service
stations, where the water is found
all right, will have the triangular
sign stating that the water is fit for
consumption on the authority of the
State Board of Health.

If persons desiring appeal have
important data to communicate to
to the board which cannot be COL
lected and put in shape for proper
presentation within the time speci-
fled, the board should be informed
of this fact without delay and re-
quest made for an extension of the
limiting date for submitting infor-
nation. If oral hearings are desired,
dates for the same may be arranged
for by correspondence with the
board.
A letter sent by Colonel Boggs to
U. S. Senator, Thomas F. Bayard
states that the principal grounds
upon which the adverse conclusion
is based are that the decreased use
being made of the harbor of refuge
at Lewes and the comparatively
small amount of property loss in
recent years does not warrant at
this time the large expenditures of
U. S. funds necessary to fill in be-
tween existing ice-breakers, to ex-
tend the breakwater toward the
shore or to dredge in the harbor in
lee of the breakwater.

DEMAND FOR DELAWARE
APPLES Is GROWING
[Continned from first bagsl

apples are still very green and not
as fully developed as they will be
a few weeks later, shippers claim
that they are large enough for ex-
porting purposes and they hope to
reap good returns.
Director Derickson is receiving in
quiries daily from large apple deal
ers as to Delaware apples and from
the apparent demand, it would seem
that Delaware apples this fall will
not go "a begging" and that good
prices will be realized.
One apple grower near. Dover, in
speaking recently of the fine returns
he had received from his early apple
shipments and expressing hope for
as good results from his fall apples,
stated that one more year of such
returns would put him in position
to either buy or build as fine resi-
deuce as could be found in Dover.
Grapes are being shipped in small
quantities, most of the Concord va
riety. Reports from the several
grape vineyards in the grape section
in Kent county which extends from
Smyrna south, through Dover and
West Dover, east of Dover and rs far
down as FELTON,, show that this years
crop will be larger and better in
every respect, than in many years,
supposed to be due to the careful
spraying and dusting carried on
earlier in the season.
It is predicted that the crop will
be a short one, the main shipping
being on within the next 10 days.
Last year there was glut in the
market before the close Of the sea-
son preventing the growers from
getting very good prices. No glut is
anticipated this year.

HOG CHOLERA CONTROLS CALLS
FOR YEARLY nLlLUNIZATION

1t has been suggested that efforts
should be made to eradicate hog
cholera in the United States. While
eradication is desirable, according to
U. G. Houck, in charge of hog-chol-
era control, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the general dis
tribution and prevalence of the dis
ease and the enormous expense
make such a gigantic undertaking
inadvisable, especially while large
sums are being expended by the Fed
eral and State Governments for the
elimination of the southern cattle
tick and the eradication of bovine
tuberculosis, dourine, and scabies of
cattle and sheep.
The eradication of hog cholera
would require the application, of no
less comprehensive and rigid meas
ures than those adopted for the Grad
ication of foot-and-mouth disease in
this country, and our hog industry
is in no condition to Withstand such
measures. Furthermore, says Doctor
Houck, we have an effectual, practi-
cal preventive treatment against hog
cholera, which is not the case with
and some of the other
with which we are contend
ing. Therefore, it seems advisable to
present Efforts to minim-
ize losses through the proper use of
the preventive treatment rather than
to attempt the complete eradication
of the disease.
A feeling of security was largely
responsible for the severe and wide
spread outbreak of cholera last fall.
Herds were comparatively free from
the disease for a time and the own
ers became negligent and failed to
treat their hogs. With so large a per-
centage of the hogs in the country
it was only natural that
the outbreak spread rapidly far and
wide.
Control of the disease is best main
tained by keeping the entire herd !
immune at all times. The nature of
serum production is such that it can |
lot be hastened to meet emergencies.
ordinarily about 55 days are requir-
ID to produce and test a quantity of
he product ready for marketing. Sc
rere outbreaks like that of last fall
,reate a shortage in the serum sup
,ly with the result that many herds
ire infected before they can be
reated.

CHINESE ELMS THRIVE WHERE
FEW OTHER SHADE TREES LIVE

For shade or as a windbreak the
Chinese elm has proved its value in
most sections of the United States
The United States Department OF
Agriculture introduced this tree
nearly 20 years ago and now recon-
mends> it as useful and widely adap-
table. 1t is particularly valuable in
regions Of light rainfall and ex-
tremes Of temperature where few
trees thrive. Trials indicate that the
Chinese elm grows even more rapid
ly in the relatively dry area of the
Middle West than in the moister reg
ions of the Atlantic coast. Trees
have weathered the severe winters
of the northern tier of States and
have made satisfactory growth
near Yuma, Ariz., where few shade
trees are able to survive the dry
climate.
This elm grows with numerous
slender, almost wiry, branches. The
leaves are eliptical and smaller than
those Of the American elm. Leaves
appear early in the spring and the
tree is one of the last to lose foliage
in the fall. It is free from injury hy
plant diseases and insects and grows
rapidly. At the Fort Hays Expert
ment Station in Kansas Chinese Gins
developed in four growing seasons
from shoots 8 feet tall and the size
of lead pencil to trees from Is to
25 feet in height, with trunks from
16 to 10 inches in circumference.
Several nurseries in the South and
West have realized the value of this
and offer plants and
seeds for sale.

CLOTHES IN COUNTRY AND CITY

Contrary to the commonly accept
ed idea that farm families spend
much less for clothing than their
city cousins, an investigation by the
Bureau of Home Economics of the
Department of Agriculture indicates
that clothing allowances are approx
imately equal in the two groups.
Only in families having incomes well
above the average is there a wide
difference, with city families spend
ing more. In 1887 farm families COW
cred by the survey the average total
expenditure was $1,559 of which
S225 was spent for clothing. City
families with about the same total
expenditures averaged $23S for cloth
