HIGH AVERAGE WHEAT YIELD
ON TRACT NEAR MILFORD
Continued from first paRe)

riculture, there was less disease this
year and which resulted in the heavy
crop now being threshed. Wherever
the farmers planted and cultivated
scientifically they lost practically
nothing from the dreaded bust.
Those who didn't treat the seed lost
anywhere from 1 per cent to 81 per
cent of the wheat. Those who plant
ed late in the fall suffered more than
those who planted earlier because of
the wet weather that prevailed late
in the fall.
1t is estimated that 10000 bushels
of seed wheat were treated. The
average cost is cents a bushel and
the process is extremely simple and
practically no trouble. For this out
lay of cents bushel the farmer
got better yield and lost practical
ly no wheat, whereas those who
where not so prudent lost half their
crop in some instances.

IMPROVING FORT

The Federal Government is con-
structing at Fort Salisbury an eight
foot wall around both of it's bat
teries. This Fort is situated seven
miles east of Milford, just this side
of Cedar Beach, about one mile in
land from the bay shore. The walls
are being constructed for the pur-
pose of protecting the fort from the
salt water of Delaware Bay. Ac
cording to records, once in about
every seven years an exceptionally
high tide occurs due to a continu-
ed easterly storm, accompanied by
high winds, causing the tide to break
beach and overflow the adjacent
country, and doing considerable
damage to the farm lands and pro-
perty. In consequence, the Fort
engineers thought of this continency
and built at the shore line a wall of
sand, but during the high tide of
last Feruary when the waters broke
the beach, the bay water flowed
around this wall of sand and cover
ed the fort. The salt water flowed
through both batteries waist deep,
and filled the gun pits, damaging
great deal of the delicate mechanism
On account Of the rusting properties
of the salt contained in sea water,
the machinery had to be taken apart
and some of it went away to be re-
FURNISHED. 1t is therefore to avoid
future trouble of this kind that the
present wall is being built. A cater
pillar mud-digger is being used to
construct this barricade. The mud
is being dug from the surrounding
marsh and thrown up into wall, to
completely surround the fort on all
sides. An elevated road will go
over the top of the wall, to slope
down on the inside to the fort. 1t
will take about four months to COM
plete the work.

dred and twenty-five feet from the
railroad there will be painted on the
concrete in black and white, two
letters "R. R." They will be so huge
that they cannot fail to be noticed.
Then at rs feet from the crossing
there will be a black and white
checkered sign painted across the
highway, so that everyone seeing one
of these signs cannot help but know
that he is approaching a railroad
crossing.
When it comes to intoxicated
motorists, the highway department
is helpless to protect the man or
woman in such a condition from
meeting whatever fate has in store
for them.
In the past two months three of
five persons that have been killed in
accidents on the highways have been
intoxicated. Because of this it does
not seem fair to charge this growing
list of accidents against the eficien-
cy of the State and sane motorists as
a whole, the department says.

A large shipment of wasp, a
parasite of the Japanese beetle, was
received from Korea during June.
The parasites were shipped as
adults in specially prepared tins
containing supplies of water and
food. The success of the shipment
was remarkable, according to the
Bureau of Entomology of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
as 80 per cent of the parasites came
through in good condition after be-
ing 20 days en-route. The wasps
were used in part for immediate
colonization and in part for pro-
pagation the latter resulting in the
production of about $4,000 eggs.
The parasitized beetle larvae bear
ing these eggs were transmitted
from the laboratory at Riverton, N.
j., to the field, where under normal
conditions they are able to develop
into adult wasps. Some wasps of
this species are being colonized on
Lonw Island, where they are being
used in work against the Aiatic
betle, another injurious introduced
pest.
