tie politics to the reception which
awaits him when he reaches this
country. AS soon as it was an
nounced that Lindbergh was to come
to Washington to receive the Flying
Cross from the hands of President
Coolidge, certain anti-adminiStration
pro-Al Smith publications undertook
to point out that the reception in
Washington was merely to prevent
the Governor of New York from being
the first to welcome Lindbergh. 1t is
likely, however. that the country will
consider that the highest honors for
the aviator come naturally from the
hands of the President of the United
States. The people are thinking
more of Lindbergh and what he did
than of the politicians at this juno
ture.
Senator C. C. Dill, Democrat, of
Washington, according to reports
brought from the State, is already

Dill Is an able campaigner. The re-

as a Republican State. but they must
show signs of getting together on a
candidate capable of stopping the on

TRUST COMPANY
RESOURCES IN DELAWARE

Trust Company resources in Della
ware total $73,184,214, as compared
with $63,611, 497 last year, according
to the 25th annual edition of Trust
Companies of the United States"
for 1927, just issued by the United
States Mortgage & Trust Company
of New York.
Combined resources of the 2731
trust companies of the country re-
porting as of June Both, the date of
compilation, were $20,4S1, 100000, a
gain of 1,145,00O,O00, over the pre-
vious year. Deposits were in ex-
cess of $16,8O0,000,000, against $751;
900,000,00O in 1926.
In reviewing the figures, Presi-
dent John W. Platten, of the United
States Mortgage & Trust Company
says:
ct is a cause of satisfaction that
the resources of the trust companies
of the country continue to seek new
high levels year after year, the to-
tails at the present time being con-
siderably more than double those Of
ten years ago. Yet it is none the
less gratifying to note the unprece-
dented efforts being made by the
trust companies to extend their SER
vice into new channels.
"The situation is most encourage
ing and warrants every confidence
in the future of trust companies and
their ability to render an increas-
ingly valuable and constantly broad
ening service to the public.

eaten in Delaware for a number of
years without any serious results.
However, the oystermen want the
question settled, and at their re-
quest Mr.. Wilcutts took up the mat
ter with Secretary of State Grant
land and the conference for Monday
was arranged.
The government has made it
plain that any packer or FISHERMAN
who ships the oysters under the pan
from the State to points Without
will be prosecuted.
At the meeting on Monday Or.
Arthur T. Davis, Secretary oil the
State Board of Health, in reply TO d
question, said that his department
had also made a test and found the
waters polluted, and that therefore
the oysters under question could not
be used in the State.
1t was suggested that the oysters
could be taken up from the creeks
and placed in the bay as it is known
that oysters in a short time purify
themselves but this plan would De
EXPENSIVE and not all of the oyster
men have beds in the bay Where
they could place them.

pointed a special committee to con-
fer with Delaware representatives in

the matter and report to another

that nothing can be done in the mat
ter until by some means the waters
of the creeks are purified so rs to

KENT FARMERS WANT
WHEAT SMUT CONTROL
rContinred from first Paael

machines in order that these mater
iaIs may become thoroughly and
evenly mixed with the wheat ker-
nels to insure satisfactory control
of this disease. In checking ever a
few fields of wheat this past spring
and summer that had been soWn
with seed treated by the shovel
method it was found that in several
instances the farmers did not secure
a good control, consequently, only
the machine method of treatment
was recommended to the growers
this year.
More effort was put forth in Kent
county this fall than in any previous
year by County Agent Wilson to
eradicate this smut from the wheat
crop, with the result that there has
been a remarkable increase in the
number of bushels of wheat treated
as compared to 1926 and 1925. At
the end of the seeding period this
year a survey was taken of the
pounds of dust disinfectants that
were sold by the various local
dealers, and it was learned that
1850 pounds of these materials have
been used by the farmers in Kent
county. OF this total amount, cop
percarb comprised 6440 pounds, or
$3.50, and semesan and copper car
Donate comprised the remaining go
pounds, or 124@o. Considering that
these dust disinfectants were used
at the rate of three ounces to each
bushel of grain, there were approx
imately $4,000 bushels of wheat
treated for sinking smut in this
county this fall as compared to 49,
900 bushels treated last year.
The use of these dust disinfect-
ants saves considerable time and
labor as compared with the formal
dehyde method, although some far
mers prefer the latter form of treat
ment which must be followed with
due precaution in order that the
germ of the seed will not be dam
aged. The Importance of treating
seed wheat to control this sinking
smut cannot be over emphasized, for
this disease alone causes an annual
loss of millions of dollars to the
wheat crop throughout the United
States, and those wheat growers in
Delaware who do not treat their
wheat properly each year share a
part of this great loss. The cost of
treatment is nominal considering
the increase in yield and the elimi-
nation of dockage by having clean
wheat at harvest time.

U. S. TOLD INDIAN WAS
IMPAIRED BY 1T
rContinued from first bage1

Continued from pfSI PdgeI
Delawarean, presided. In the dele
cation were: Ex-Governor John G..
Townsend, chairman of the state
commission in charge of the $4,000
appropriation for the Indian river
project; R. D. Lingo, of Dagsboro,
a member of the commission; State
Senator Elisha Steele, of Dagsboro,
Charles M. Cullen, of Georgetown,
attorney for the state commission;
]. E. Goslee, of Stockley; G. S. VIII
liams, of Millsboro, and Charles F.
Horn, of Rehoboth.
Representative Robert G. Houston
headed the delegation. Senator Bay
ard was present together with Will
liam J. Storey, from the office of
Senator du Point.
It was the contention of the dele
CATION, through their spokesman,
that the Federal government, under
the acts designing this power is
authorized to take into considera-
ton other things than navigation
such as industry, commerce and
health conditions. Senator Bayard,
Mr.. Houston, Ex-Governor Town
send, Senator Steele, Mr.. Cullen, Mr..
Lingo and Mr.. Williams addressed
the board.
At the conclusion of the hearing
which lasted from 10 until noon, the
board rose, without taking action.
They will later meet to consider the
facts presented and the construction
of the law for which the delegation
commended.
1t was the consensus of opinion
that the delegation made out
sound case, Summarizing the main
points advanced, it may be said that
the delegation contended as fol-
lows:
The Federal government by fail
ure to carry through the project for
the inland waterway south to ASA
waman Bay and by abandonment of
the Indian river project, was re-
sponsible for the closing of this in
let; that in consequence of the clos
ing of the inlet, the fish and crab
industry, the maritime commerce
and the health and pleasure attrac-
ton of Indian River Bay has been
either wholly destroyed or impaire-
ed; that the Federal act designing
the powers of the board is sufficient
ly broad to justify the board in TAX
ing into consideration, not alone
the interest of navigation, but also
the interests of commerce and
health; that the urgency for action
is not merely a local contention, but
state matter as indicated by the
states appropriation of $4,000 for
the project and that equity requires
the Federal government to restore
the condition under which the fish
industry thrived and a healthy COM
MERGE developed.
