SEED CORN SITUATION
In STATE Is SERIOUS
1oontinued from first page)

During the past few days severa
requests for seed corn nave peel
received at the Office OF Kent county
Agent Russell E. Wilson VINO Is
keening in touch with the germlna-
tion tests of the different samples OF
corn being sent to the state labora-
torv with a view to assisting the
farmers of the county to secure q
sufficient quantity of high graoe
seed to plant the desired acreage III
this area this season. -,
Bv the use of the rag-doll or the
sand-box tester the average farmer
could very quickly and conveniently
make a termination test of the corn
which is to be used for seed pur-
noses. and in this manner it would
be possible to determine those ears
which are suitable for planting. The
farmers of the State also have the
privilege of either sending or bring
ing samples of their corn to the
laboratory of the State Board or
Agriculture in Dover where these
termination tests will be made tree
of charge by the seed analyst.
The testing Of seed corn and the
elimination of those ears which DO
not show good termination may be
considered as two of the most es-
sential factors in the program OF
economical production, and those
farmers who fail to give some
thought to this subject and not TAX
ing due advantage of the opportun-
ity to reduce their costs of produc-
ton which in turn would place the
corn crop on more profitable OASIS
Although the slogan is to test
every ear of seed corn," it is not al
ways necessary to make such a
thorough test unless the termination
report on a representative sample OF
seed indicates that the vitality is
very low generally. In those IN
stances, however, where the germi-
nation test of an average sample OF
corn is as low as has been demon
strated this spring by the official
tests at the state laboratory, 1t is
very important that every ear be
tested in order that allinferior ears
may be discarded and thereby re-
suit in the saving of time and labor
in replanting in the field.
Considering the question of fertil-
ization in addition to the testing OF
the seed, experiments have already
shown that corn is less susceptible
to diseases if it is properly nourish-
ed, and the best example of this
fact is found in the case of the corn
root-rot, as has been demonstrated
by the Indiana Experiment Station
and the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture in some recent work in
which the application of potash
practically eliminates this disease.
The net result of all these practices
such as better methods Of fertiliza-
ton and the testing of the seed is an
increase in yield per acre, the pro-
duction of corn of higher quality
and the resistance to disease, all of
which means a wider margin of
profit to the average farmer who is
naturally interested in realizing all
that he possibly can from his corn
crop and other farm products.

FILING FEE LAW
REPEALER SIGNED
BY GOVERNOR
Continued from first page)

few minutes before the legislature
adjourned.
Within a few days after adjourn
ment sixteen of the seventeen sena-
tors petitioned the Governor to veto
the repeater. Fifteen of them said
they did not know that House Bill
No. 1872 provided for the repeal OF
the filing fee law.
The Governor declares that from
official reports and statistics which
have been furnished me, it appears
that the surplus in the school fund
on July l, 1927, will exceed $2,000,-
900. This is sufficient to provide
funds for carrying out the school
building program adopted by the re-
cent General Assembly"
Referring to House Bill No. PA,
the Governor said that serious en-
barrassment to the school program
might result if it became law"
The bill which repeals the filing
fee provides also for a number of
important changes in the State Tax
Department.
The bill containing the filing fee
repeater creates a new State School
Tax Board to consist of the Secre-
tary of State and two other members
to be appointed by the Governor, for
terms beginning with the approval
of the act and ending November l,
1929. and thereafter for terms of
four years. Not more than two mem
hers of the board shall be of the
same political party and they are to
receive $40 for each meeting attend
ed and expenses incurred. Under the
previous law the Tax Board consist
ed of the Tax Commissioner, the
Secretary of State and the State
Auditor. The new law eliminates the
Tax Commissioner as member OF
the board.
The bill sets out that the Tax
Commission shall be the executive
head of the Tax Department and
have charge of the administration of
the department. 1t gives the Tax
Commissioner authority to appoint
an assistant State School Tax COM
missioner to serve at the pleasure OF
the commissioner and also authorize
him to appoint other assistants,
agents. field auditors, clerks, en-
ployees, ETC., needed for the collec-
ton of the school taxes.
The State School Tax Board under
the bill is authorized to hear ap-
peals from the decisions or rulings
of the Tax Commissioner, and AFFIRM
modify or reverse such decisions or
rulings. This is an important
change from the old law as in cases
of appeals from the decisions OF the
Tax Commissioner the latter was
member of the board to which ap-
peals were taken.
The bill sets out that the salary
of the Assistant Tax Commissioner
shall not be in excess of $500 a
year and the salary of no other ap-
pointee in the department other than
the Commissioner shall be more
than $4,000 year.
It also authorizes the Attorney
General to appoint special Deputy
Attorney General at salary OF
50 900 a year to give advice and as
sistance to the Tax Department
when called on to do so by the de-
partment.

In DELAWARE SCHOOLS
Continued from page II

Special attention is given to
trees as trees are necessary to have
forests. One of the customs which
people in general are requested to
prevent is that of breaking off
branches of trees, especially fruit
trees. The effort to plant trees and
shrubs along the State highway
means much care will be needed to
get the trees to take root. It has
taken the trees between Dover and
Smyrna six years before they show
ed signs of real life. Last season
was the first that they burst forth in
green foliage.

Final Workout
For Local Team

Coach Armstrong; Central Union
squad was going through its final
heavy workout today in preparation
for Saturdays grid battle against
Brawlcy which will open the 1927
High School league in the valley.
The boys responded readily to the
call for speedy scrimmaging and
plenty of football was being dis
played despite the warmness of the
weather. Tomorrow the coach will
give the boys needed rest in or
der that they will be set for the
Saturday struggle.
Despite the fact that Central Tn
ion was forced to open the season
with practically green team, its
showing thus far has marked it as
a contender for league honors and
it is hoped that the team will be
given support of fandom in the bat
tie Saturday. The contest with
Brawley promises to be one of the
feature games of the 1927 season.

PAOLINO CALLS
OFF BOUT WITH

Basque Must Prove His

Or Get "In Bad"
By FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Paolino
Czcudun has turned one of his ia.
nous back flip flops right out of
the heavyweight elimination lineup,
The Basque wood chopper who
was to have met Phil Scott, crst-
';hile British heavyweight cham
,ion, on November 4, claims to have
spraincd his broad back and the
bout has been called off.
Paolino must appear before DR..
Walker, boxing commission physi-
clan, today and prove his claim to
save his forfeit
But the bout is off and Scott, who
recently doffed a fireman suit and
little red fircman's hat to become
a member of the II. II. of G.. B.
finds himself without an opponent
for his American debut.
The Horizontal Heavyweights Of
Great Britain-as Young Mr.. Scott 5
organization is called-chippcd in
and sent Phil to this country in the
hopes that he might remain vcrti-
cal, or at least attain a 45 degree
angle long enough to dispel some of
the dcrision directed towards this
society.
Tex Richard dampcncd the ardor
Of the II. II. of G. 3. by naming
the bounding Basque as SCOTS first
opponent. It was popularity sup
POSED that the Tottcnham Court

end on November 4.
Paolno flattcned Scott AT their
last meeting. True, Phil pulled n
Jack Sharkey and claimed TO have
been fouled. but as he was in the
customary horizontal attitude ut the
time, no particular attention was
paid to his protests
The bout. was to have touched off

which. if they do not all fizzlc the

And then came word from Paol-
