RICHARD PROssER TAXES
 l. TO THE AIR AT FAIRBANKS

Richard Prosser was up in the air and topsy turvy in Fairbanks last week where he and hls dad' Jack, spent a few days enJoyaole visit, returning home Saturday. Ihls can be taken literally, for though 1t was true he was up in the air, 1t was in one of the Fairbanks planes and the only reason he came back to earth was that the machine ran out of gas. Mr. Prosser says that Rco- ard now has set his goal to becoming pilot. Every trick OF the table was performed with the young man in the cockpit and still he cried for more. As far as Jack was con- cerned he was satisfied to remain on the ground.

Aid has also been given farmers in
many instances in adjusting claims.
The scope of the work of this Bureau
has increased remarkably since in was
inaugurated. The Bureaus accom-
plishments have made it a valuable
asset to the farmers of Delaware.
Poultry Raising and Plant Pathology
Poultry raising, egg and chick pro-
duction represent one of the chief
sources of wealth of the state. The
laboratory of poultry disease control,
started in 1925, has been of great
value to the poultrymen in the as
sistance of diagnozing and controlling
poultry diseases. Special attention
has been given to the eradication of
contagious and infectious diseases of
poultry The work carried on by this
laboratory effects large saving and
assists in safeguarding the poultry
industry of the state. The Bureau OF
Plant Pathology which is conducted
in cooperation with the University of
Delaware is of great benefit to the
fruit, grain, and vegetable grower in
determining the causes of plant dis
eases and measures for their control.
In addition to demonstrations which
are being given in plant disease con-
troll, research work is constantly be-
ing conducted This is the last branch
of work given the Board to supervise
and has been in existence only since
1925. The State Board Of Agriculture
is always glad to have the farmers of
the state visit its different depart
ments and confer upon problems that
are of interest to both.

STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
Farmers Will Have Better Access to
Department for Information

The State Board of Agriculture of
Delaware has moved its quarters
from the State House to the old
County Building and now occupies
both floors of that building which is
located just north of the State House
on Dover Green. The work of the
Board has grown SO rapidly during
the past few years that additional of
fee room was necessary to take care
of the various departments of the
Board. Through the foresight of Gov
ernor Robinson the several depart
nents are now placed in closer con-
tact which will facilitate the work
and increase the efficiency of the
Board as a whole. The main office,
the Bureau of Markets, the office of
the Plant Pathologist, and the labor
atory of the Poultry Pathologist are
all located on the first floor. On the
second floor, the Board has its fertil-
izer, feed, and seed laboratory which
is in charge of the State Chemist and
Seed Analysis. This was the first de-
Smyrna times., 1927-01-19

partment created and placed under
the supervision of the Board. In 1917,
| when Senator Newton's Fertilizer
Law was introduced and passed, it
was his idea to make this laboratory
eventually self supporting by the
J funds derived from registration fees
and tonnage tax on feed and fertiliz-
ers. At the present time it lacks but
few hundred dollars of being self
supporting, and with proportionate in
creased work should become absolute
ly so within a short time. This lab
oratory is always at the service of
the farmer for testing seeds for ger
mination and purely. By analyZing
feeds, fertilizers, lines, and spray
materials to determine the chemical
content, the state laboratory enables
the farmer to determine the actual
value of the goods he buys.
Dairy Industry Shows Rapid Increase
The dairy industry has increased
rapidly in this state until it repre-
sents large proportion of the agri-
cultural interests and a substantial
portion of the farm income This
growth favored dissemination of dis
ease among cattle until it threatened
to become a serious menace to the in
dustry. This fact was recognized
several years ago by other states and
means taken for control and eradica-
tion of contagious and infectious dis
eases, especially tuberculosis. In 1920,
by an Act of the Legislature appro-
priating funds for the purpose, the
state was enabled to adopt The Ac-
credited Herd Plan which is conducted
in cooperation with the Federal Gov
ernment. The work of tuberculosis
Eradication is directed from the main
office of the Board. The demand for
the work has increased until it is be-
yond the funds available for the pur-
pose. The success of the plan is at
tested to by the increasing number of
herds freed from the disease. It is
of great Importance both from an
economic standpoint and the stand
point of public health.
VI IudA net 4NCno
The great demand for dissemina
ton of market news, assistance in dis
tribution of produce by the farmer,
especially the fruit and vegetable
grower, led to the organization of the
Bureau of Markets in 1922. This Bu-
reau has given valuable assistance to
the farmer in marketing his produce,
by Issuing daily market reports, and
by enabling the grower to standardize
his pack of fruit through State-Fed-
eral Inspection which insures Della
ware fruit thus inspected selling on a
par with that similarly inspected in
other states This department has as
sisted in finding new markets and in
