URGES FARMERS TO TAKE
INTEREST IN CORN SHOW
CCOntinusd from first Page1

former years as corn per bushel
and not from feeding standpoint,
but today it is graded and sold from
a standpoint of quality and graded
accordingly. Corn growing a few
years ago was considered very
ordinary farm crop, but today it has
changed very much since there are
so many pessimistic worms and in
sects that threaten our success as
it has in the western states. Much
credit should be given to our boys
and girls corn club leaders, also
our agricultural teachers in our
high school for the remarkable way
the club has been represented in our
former shows. I would like to in
sist that all parents who have child
ren interested in growing corn and
other. agricultural projects to get
back of them and help to encourage
what we are sure some day will be
the backbone of our Delaware State
Corn Show"
"The spirit of showing corn only
when we have a very successful crop
does not add but very little to a
real corn show spirit, but a much
greater benefit will be obtained by
continually showing the best we
have, one year with another, until
some real accomplishments have
been made"
"Our Delaware State Corn Show
goes even farther than showing
corn, it often adds to our list a
number of real friends who are not
selfish in exchanging agricultural
ideas, but rather delight in helping
to make two bushels of corn grow
where only one grew before"
"The growing and selecting of
good seed and show corn carries a
very close relationship to breeding
and selecting of live stock and poul-
try, but has never been considered
so much until the present time"
81 wish to make this appeal to our
Delaware farmers in planting your
next years corn crop to be satisfied
with nothing but the very best
selected seed corn that can be pur-
chased, and then follow up very
closely our State Corn Show and in
a few years our efforts will be
crowned with wonderful success of
growing two bushels of corn where
only one grew before. Bear in mind
that in January 1928 our coming
show will meet at Dover and your
close cooperation will be very
greatly appreciated by the members
of our Delawae State Corn Growers
Association"

another. We are buying more in
Wilmington today than ever before
but at the present time there is
great competition arising as Balti-
more seeks this rich, lucrative trade
1t behooves Wilmington wholesalers
to become more active and aggres-
sive than in the past"
DR.. Grier spoke of the origin OF
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore AS
sociation and the things it had been
hoped to accomplish through its
medium. Commenting on the work
accomplished DR.. Grier said: I'm
promoting the Peninsula as a whole
the association Obliterated county
lines and diverse interests were
drawn together Much valuable in
formation was made available; as
an instance few people know that
Sussex is the seventh largest egg
producing county in the United
States and one of our efforts has
been directed toward securing a
fairer price for this product" ="
Cooperative marketing was urged
as a relief measure by DR.. Grier
who cited the successful marketing
of potatoes and strawberries by this
method. 1t was toward the end of
his address that DR.. Grier launched
his plea for more ardent support for
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
sociation and in making his point
the speaker said, "That time has
come when we must decide the pro-
fitable value of the Association and
give it such support as it merits"
I. B. Finkelstein responded to DR..
Grier's address and assured the
president of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association of the support of
Wilmington merchants.
After DR.. Grier's address Rev.
Guy L. Hill, secretary of the Mil
ford Chamber of Commerce, made a
few remarks and it was agreed that
R. A. Derrickson and E. H. Bratten,
of Milford, along with the Whining
ton Chamber of Commerce, were to
bring influence to bear on the State
Highway Department to have the
new State Highway continued
through Milford to Rehoboth.
Other speakers of the evening were
John w. Hallett and Senator I. D.
Short, of Milford; and George Fear
ron, of Georgetown.

Only within the past ten days, a
farmer living in the upper part of
Kent county brought to Dover a
sample of water taken from one of
these dug wells, from which he ad-
mitted that sometime back dead
frog had been pulled from the we'll.
Analysis by the State Board of
Health Of all the drinking water
sources for the several schools in
Kent county will shorty begin, some
few already having been made which
show a healthy condition of the wa
ter.
The analysis Of water at the sever
al schools throughout the state, is
quite a task and with the Bacterio-
logical Department already being
oVerrun with tests and analysis, it
will be some little time before the
water sources of the schools is
reached. Already the State Bacteri-
illogical Department has had for the
month of September 1908 specimens
for examination.
There has been but one typhoid
fever cases reported in the last two
weeks which speaks well for the
water conditions throughout the
State.
Some few cases of diphtheria have
been reported to the State Board
from Kent county but no epidemic
has been reported from any part of
the State.

Due to a misprint, it was announc-

This should have been six weeks, as
