Urban MAIDS a good showing before
a crowd of 1000. Once Sharkey
missed a sweeping left hook and the
spectators laughed. They also ap.
plauded Urban for scoring a couple
of good hits. This seemed to enrage
Sharkey.
In the second round Jack went
after Urban and belted him a left
hook to the head that had plenty of
evil intentions behind it. Urban
staggered and his knees bent half
way to the floor, but he Strengthened
up and tried to retreat. Sharkey fol-
lowed him across the ring. It was
evident that Urban was still badly
dazed when Sharkey whipped over
another heavy left hook to the head.
This time Urban was spilled on the
canvas.

GOOD NEIGHBORS

formerly people were considered
good neighbors if they were friend
ly and social, and kind and helpful
in times Of trouble. There has been
very much of this fine spirit in Mil
ford and all Of lower Delaware ana
there is still, and much generous
service of this kind is given.
But as our communities have de-
veloped, the idea of good neighbor-
illness has broadened out.
In this bright autumn weather, the
men should get out with their gar
den tools, to improve their home
places. 1t is up to everyone to do his
share. Now if those genial neighbors
of yours are negligent on this vital
point, if their house is shabby, and
their grounds rough and messy, the
value Of their smiles is somewhat
discounted. You might not weep too
much if they moved away, and let
some family with different standards
try it.
An i'll kept home is a blot on the

WILL DEMONSTRATE SMUT
TREATMENT FOR WHEAT
CCOHtinned from first bags]

lC0Httnned from FIRST Pagel
as it is frequently called by the
wheat growers.
1t is nearing the season of the
year when farmers are planning to
sow their wheat, and in view of the
| severe prevalence of this stinking
smut in 1927 wheat crop in many
sections of the county and state,
every effort should be put forth by
the wheat growers to eradicate this
disease by thoroughly treating the
seed.
The Importance of treating seed
wheat to control this smut cannot
be over emphasized, for this disease
alone causes an annual loss of mil
lions of dollars to the wheat crop
throughout the United States in the
dOckage on the markets in addition
to the reduced yields, and those
wheat growers in Delaware 10 not
treat their wheat properly each
year share of this great loss.
The use of various kinds Of dust
disinfectants saves considerable
time and labor as compared with
the formaldehyde or sprinl1lirg
methods, although some farmers
prefer the latter form of treatment
which must be followed with due
precaution in order that the germ
of the seed will not be damaged. !
The cost of treatment in either case
is nominal considering the increase
in yield, and the elimination of
dockage by having clean wheat at
harvest time.
The chief points to be demon
strated at these field meetings will
be the ways in which these dust
dlsinfectants may be used in the
treatment of the wheat. During the
past two years the wheat growers
IN the state have been using Cop
percard" and "Semesan" which have
given excellent results where they
were properly applied These dusts
are being handled by many dealers
throughout the state for the con-
Yenience of those farmers who
want to treat their wheat this fall.
1t is not recommended that badly
diseased wheat be treated, for it is
much better plan to dispose of
such wheat and buy cleaner seed
for treating. The "Coppercard"
dust should be used at the rate of
three ounces to the bushel of grain.
and the "Semesan" at the rate of
two ounces to the bushel. In case
of a very light infection of smut,
only one ounce of the "Semesan"
need be used if the wheat is treated
in a treating machine. These dusts
are poisonous, and those who work
with them should wear masks over
the nose and mouth, and do this
work in well ventilated building.
Care must also be taken to not use
or sell any of the treated wheat for
food or feeding purposes. Wheat
may be treated at any time with
these dust disinfectants and stored
until seeding time.
County Agent Wilson is planning
to hold similar wheat treatment
demonstrations in other sections of
the county during the next ten days,
and all farmers who are interested
IN this smut control campaign are
invited to attend these field meet
ings which will be held rain OF
shine since the work will be done
inside of the farm buildings.
