CHILD DISEASES

THROUGHOUT STATE
[COntinned from first bage1


case is reported, a member of the
sanitary department of the State
Board has started a hunt for the or
igin. One of the first things inspect
ed is the food supply of the family.
Milk is often times the carrier as
well as the water supply.
This fall there have been ten cases
traced to the contamination of drink
ing water, a much larger number
than for many years. In some in
stances it has been possible to rem
edy the defect by cleaning out wells
and other water sources, and filling
in the cracks in the bricks, and in
putting new parts for pumps. In
other instances, where this has not
been possible, the board has recon-
mended a new driven we'll.
All of the trouble has come from
either a barn or outside seepage.
More sanitary arrangements have
also been made about the stables.
Four typhoid cases have been
found near Dover, where the city
drinking water does not connect
with the farms. The city drinking
water in Dover, however, has been
found to be free from contamination.
Gradually, through educational
programs started three years ago by
the State Board of Health, many of
the sources of impure drinking wa
ter have been eliminated, and with
in a few years it is hoped that the
health of the State will not only be
materially benefited but the death
rate will be gradually reduced at
least from preventable diseases.

INSANITY INCREASING
in DELAWARE STATE
6S More Permanent Patients In
Farnhurst Hospital Than In 1922

On January 1, of this year there
were SIS permanent patients in the
State Hospital at Farnhurst, an in
crease of 6S since 1922, according to
a preliminary announcement of the
results of census of State and
Federal hospitals for mental disease
for 1926 made public by the Depart
ment of Commerce at Washington.
Complete returns have been re-
ceived by the departmnt from 80
states covering 105 hospitals out of a
total of 165 state hospital for men
tai diseases which are included in
the census. These los hospitals had
a total of 36,936 first admissions
during 1926 as compared with 34,-
1862 in 1922, or an increase of rs per
cent. These first admissions repre-
sent patients received during the
year who had not previously been
under treatment in any hospital for
mental disease.
In the 80 states covered by the
report the number Of mental pat
tents under institutional care shows
a steady increase. On January 1,
1922, there were 156,454 patients,
while on January 1, of this year,
there were 1888.
During 1926 there were 1853 first
admissions in Delaware as compar-
ed with SO in 1922.

proach more nearly the price curve
during the fall and early winter
than it does when no artificial lights
are used.
8. Lights were of no value in
stimulating egg production after
March first.
4. Eggs can be produced more
economically under electric lights
during the winter months than they
can under natural conditions.
5. When hens are given a 12 to
IA hour day by the use of artificial
light they do not suffer form poor
health by reason Of the heightened
day.
6. Proper relation of lights is an
important point in efficient produc-
tion.
Z. Artificial lights, properly in
stalled and managed, are a profit
able investment for the poultryman.
The bulletin is free to all Della
ware poultrymen and may be OBJ

MAY EXTEND BEETLE
QUARANTINE TO DOVER
[COntinnsd from first bage]


regulated areas in States now under
quarantine.
Lindenhurst, L. l., and Nyack. N.
Y; Gettysburg, Shenandoah, Le-
highton, Milton, Shamokin and
Wilkes-Barre, all in Pennsylvania;
Darien and Bridgeport, Conn, and
Clayton and Dover, Del.
These localities presumably also
will bel included in the regulated
area.
The hearing has been called, in
accordance with the Plant Quaran-
tine act, in order that any person
interested in the proposed extension
of the quarantine may be heard
either in person or by attorney.
The Japanese beetle has been
active for some time in New Jersey
and in portions of PENNSYLVANIA,
Delaware, New York and Connecti-
cut, where quarantine and inspect
ion measures have been enforced
to retard its further spread. Re-
Gently, however, the insect has
been found at Baltimore, Perryville,
Cambridge and Chesapeake City and
in the Districts of Columbia.
Extension of the quarantined
area to include Maryland and the
District of Columbia would place
the same restrictions on the inter
state movementg from the infested
areas therein of farm, garden and
orchard products of all kinds; grain
and forage crops; nursery, orna-
mental and greenhouse stock and all
other plants, and sand, soil, earth,
peat compost and manure as now
are enforced to prevent the spread
Of the insect from the States at pre-
sent under quarantine.

SWEET POTATO GROWERS
. WILL HAVE CROP INSPECTED
rContinned from first baae1

where there were short yields, have
not proven high price predictions
with any satisfaction.
- The growers did not make much
money last year off Sweets. Some
broke even and some made money,
but it wasn't an encouraging crop,
reports sohw. This has not deferred
the growers from trying again in the
hopes of striking 'fat' year.
: Tomato canneries are humming
day and night this week. The crop
is a good one but the prices are not
attractive. Gamers are able to get
tomatoes almost at their own price.
Ten to twenty cents a basket is be-
ing paid and even the Camden, N. j.,
= soup company is buying freely all it
wants at their own price. This New
Jersey plant has a capacity of 10000
baskets an hour, and during the
peak of the season is capable Of
handling 245,000 baskets a day. The
tomatoes are cooked and stored
away in bulk to await later treat
ment and in this way they can be
saved from spelling.
THE crop of pumpkins this year
looks fine. This is a side crop for
many farmers, who either plant the
pumpkin vines between rows Of
corn or else use land that has al
ready produced one crop this sea-
son. From SIS to $40 ton is about
the average price. The yield this
year will b good, but the price has
not been decided.
Peppers are also being canned in
large quantities at BridgeYille. This
is a comparatively new industry for
Delaware, but is increasing each
year.

SUSSEX MAY EXPERIMENT
With HUCKLEBERRY CROP
[COntinned from first bage]

propagation and experiments have
been going on for the past five years
under the direction of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
A large number of plants have
been obtained by Bunting Nurseries,
of Selbyville, and they are going to
conduct an experiment. Gardner E.
Bunting, one of the members of the
Sussex County Levy Court, and di-
recting head of the Bunting Nurser-
les, is convinced that the berries
can be grown in Baltimore and
Gumboro districts at a good profit
and that the yields will be large.
The land in that section of the State
produces large quantities of wild
each year from which
the people realize many hundreds
of dollars. The cultivated varieties,
it is stated, grow almost as large as
some varieties of Strawberries.

HOLD MORE WHEAT SMUT -
CONTROL DEMONSTRATIONS
Meetings Today Near Dover And
Leipsic To Explain Sowing Methods

AS a means of further promoting
the campaign which was started
again this fall to eliminate the stink
ing smut, or Dust" in the wheat
crop four treatment demonstrations
in addition to the two which were
conducted on Friday of last week in
the Kenton and Clayton areas have
been scheduled in other sections OF
Kent county on Thursday and Friday
of this week by County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson, who is devoting con-
siderable time to this phase of work
at this particular season of the year
when farmers are preparing to SOW
their wheat.
All wheat growers who are inter
ested in treating their seed wheat
this fall were. urged to attend one of
these field meetings, the itinerary of
which was as follows:
Thursday, September 80
10 A .M.-Farm of Everett Rob-
bins, near Laws School, four miles
southwest of Frederica.
1870 P. M.-Farm of Charles w.
Sigler, near Whitleysburg:
Friday, September 30
10 A. M.-Farm of j. Frank Star
ling (Charles Warner, tenant) near
Leipsic.
1870 P. M Farm of w. E. Maloney
(James w. Clendaniel, tenant) on
Bay Road, southwest of Dover.
At each of these field meetings, the
dust method of treating seed wheat
toJcontrol this smut was demonstrat-
ed by DR.. ]. F. Adams, Plant Pathol-
ogist of the University of Delaware
and the State Board of Agriculture,
who is cooperating with County
Agent Wilson in conducting this
wheat smut control campaign in
Kent county.
Although there has been a re-
markable increase in the number of
bushels of seed wheat treated each
year, this type of smut is still very
prevalent in many sections Of the
county and state, and it will be only
by a united effort upon the part of
every farmer if this serious disease
is to be entirely eliminated from the
wheat crop in Delaware.
This smut can be controlled if the
seed wheat is thoroughly treated !
each year, and those growers who
are practicing careful methods of
treatment each year are obtaining
good results, and are therefore hav-
ing clean wheat to place upon the
markets, thereby realizing the high
est market prices because Of no
dockage.
The treatment demonstrations
which were held last Friday at the
farms of Clifford Clark near Kenton
and A. c. Darrah near Clayto1E were
arranged for the benefit Of those
wheat growers in the northern part
of the county, and those farmers
who are located in the central and
southern sections were invited to
take advantage of the opportunities
offered on Thursday and Friday Of
this week to attend the four field
herein mentioned.

ADMITS BANKRUPTCY
Texan Credited With Pyramiding
5000 Into $S,OOo,0o0 on

NEW YORK. November ia man
who, his associates said, would rather
have nothing than just a little. was
petitioned into bankruptcy in Fedelal
Court yesterday after spectacular
career in Wall Street, during when
he was said to have pyramided szoo
into IS, 900 900.
Eugene c. Scales, former Texan
widely known for his operations IN
the cotton market, faced petition
which said he had accounts with ~
commission houses, and which listed
his liabilities at $50 800 and his assets
at nothing. At one period his for
tune said to have been started with
5000 obtained by pawning a diamond
ring, was estimated at $S000,000.
Scales was a victim of the cotton
break of 1914, after which he filed a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy,
listing debts of S22S.5S5 and assets of
S200,500. His friends said that he
speculated to win 'all or none"
