suited in returns of Sl6,3I4,000 at the
farm. This is an increase of $685.
600 over 1926. The total value OF
farm products in 1927 in the United
States was $9,114,845, 900. This IS an
increase of $1,690,0O0,00O over 1926.
In Delaware at this time, there are
1886 farms. In 1927 the returns
from corn were the highest IF any
agricultural product. This brought in
$3,780,O00. Delaware used to be
known for its extensive wheat rails
ing, and many have believed that the
wheat crops were the most important
to the farmers of Delaware as a
whole, but last year the wheat bar
vested brought $2,32S,OOO, which is
over a million and third dollars less
than corn.
Director Derickson stresses the
fact that the marketing of a product
begins at the time of planting. He
shows some of the value and bene-
fits to be obtained from the State
Board of Agriculture.
If the farmer wants to be reason
ably sure about what kind and how
much corn his fields will produce he
should have the seed corn tested at
the State laboratory free of charge.
The character of the fertilizer used
should also be examined. Then there
should be standard packages, stand
ard grading and standard handling
of the products. In all of these oper-
ations the Bureau of Markets can
help and there is no charge for the
service.
He cites many instances where
farmers have profted by having
their seed and fertilizers tested and
by grading and properly marking
their products. The Standardization
process means more money for the
farmer in higher prices obtained for
his goods, providing they are not
faulty.

S. of A. in session, heartily COM
mending the State Board of Educa-
ton and the school board at Green
wood.
National Organizer c. J. Plimpton
was the last speaker and he ex-
planned in detail the proposed plan
of the membership campaign. He
will select a general for each county
and one for Wilmington. The gen.
eral will then name a colonel for
each camp under his direction. The
colonel will select two captains in
each camp and they will then select
three lieutenants. The active mem
bership of the camp will be divided
up into teams under the direction Of
the lieutenants. They will report
weekly to their superior officers and
so on up the line until the general
isimo" has the reports in hand.
The national organizer is now try
ing to organize new camps in Sus-
sex but is expected to aid some of
the camps throughout the State for
members. The plans are just being
worked out and it looks as though
Delaware, will have the
lump on all the other camps. The
latest reports from that section Of
the county state that they are taxi
ing in new members every meeting
night. The next state camp of the
order is to be entertained at Hartly
and the state secretary has inform
ed the different camps of the state
that it is urged that they send full
1uota of delegates to the state camp.

he had in his possession, so that the
public might know just how some
of the operations of the illegal traf-
fic in liquor was being carried on.
Judge Rodney again reminded Mr..
Magee that Jet so far as the pres
ent case was concerned, had nothing
to do with it, unless he could be
connected with the case.
Mr.. Magee sought again to i'm
press the court with the idea of Civ
ing valuable information as to traf-
fic in intoxicants in Kent county.
Judge Rodney replied that the
court did not propose to go into the
Jet end of the case as the court had
no jurisdiction and was bound by
the rules of law explaining how I'M
fair it would be to Officer Jet to
have but one side of the case heard,
and he, Jet, have no opportunity to
defend himself.
Mr.. Magee after a conference with
Moore, informed the Court that as
Jet was in no way connected with
the present case, he would proceed
no further with the case.
Mr.. Magee did however produce a
key, which he desired marked for
Identification and committed to the
custody of the Sheriff. He asked
Moore if he was through with the
liquor business to which Moore re-
piled that he was.
Mr.. Magee asked Moore if he was
willing to give evidence at any time
relative to the facts contained in a
paper which he (Magee), which it
was said, contained a complete his
tory of Moore's traffic in intoxicants
and his associates or aides in the
business. To this Moore replied, that
he was. Mr.. Magee then endeav-
ored to show that Moore was in bad
physical condition, and asked len
iency. He urged a parole, agreeing
to take personal interest in Moore
if parOled to him.
Judge Rodney replied that the
case as heard by the Court, was not
one for parole and that the Court
could not consider such an applica-
ton. Sentence was then pronoun-
ced.

fled. The fatality figures would be
transformed into collins. The figures
denoting persons injured would
evolve into a small army of children
and adults with broken bones, frac-
tured skulls, internal injuries, etc.
If this picture should bee placed so
as to at all times confront every
motor vehicle operator there IS no
doubt but what greater caution
would be used in the operation OF
motor vehicles.
every operator can make def
mite contribution to highway safety
without any cost and only slight
extra effort. The simple common
sense use of judgment in operating
with their motor vehicles under alb
solute control at all times and never
driving at rate of speed greater
than a rate which will enable the
motor vehicle to be stopped in the
clear distance ahead on the course
which the motor vehicle is proceed
ing or about to take if practiced by
every operator would bring about
startling reduction in our highway
casualties"

for a Bond Issue to raise a very
small part of the money necessary
to build a new school. Our part
will be as follows:
The law permits us to bond for
only 22o of the assessment for 1919.
Milford District assessment was ST.
SS1,02S.00 and the eight Rural Dis
trict was $1,232,712.OO, making a to-
tai of $3,113,74O.O0. go of S3,113,-
$4,000 would equal $62,274.90-less
$21,000.00 refund from the State for
the payment of bonds since 1900,
would leave a balance of SAL, 274.00
to be raised by Milford and the
Rural Districts.
To pay this off in ten years, the
taxpayers would only be called on to
pay a poll or head tax of $500 per
year for each man and each woman,
and if you owned property you would
only be taxed five cents on each
$4,000 of your assessment. If your
property was assessed at $1,000.00
you would only pay property tax
of fifty cents.
AS it is now, if you do not own
property you do not pay one cent to
the support of the schools. If you
do own property, you only pay fiji
teen cents on each $4,000 of the
assessment on your real estate.
Since you pay so little or nothing
toward the cost of educating your
children or your neighbours chill
dren, aren't you willing to pay $500
a year toward building a new school
where your children can be better
educated and better cared for than
they are at present?
All of us together would put up
SAL 900 to get approximately $150,00O
from the State. We would raise
$1.O0 to get $500 from the State.
Think this over we'll before Satur-
day, then come to the school build
ing and cast your ballot.
We sincerely hope it will be fav-
cradle to all of our children.
Very sincerely yours,

EDUCATION

ORCHARD SPRAYING i
WILL BE CONTINUED
[COntinned from first pagel

Orchardists in Kent county, and
those growers who are not receivin2
this information are requested to
get in touch with the county agents
Office in Dover where their names
will be placed on the mailing list.
Copies of the first edition of the
orchard spray notes for 1928, which
were prepared by DR.. Adams, are be-
ing mailed this week to the fruit
growers in Kent county, and at a
later date a letter will also be sent
to each grape grower in regard to
the early applications of the Bor-
deaux mixture for the control of
black rot and other diseases which
are carried over on the last years
canes.
In regard to the control of dis
eases in the apple orchards, DR..
Adams is placing special emphasis
in these spray notes upon sanitary
practices such as cultivation by
April 1 to bury many of the old
apple leaves on which the scab pass
es the winter, and the removal and
burning of all mummied fruit from
the trees. Many growers this year
have not only thinned their plant
ings which were originally set too
close, but they have also pruned
their trees so as to allow more sun
light and air to penetrate through
the branches, as another means of
reducing the possibilities of scab
infection.
With reference to the spraying of
peach trees, observations conducted
last year indicated that the first
week in March was about the latest
date to secure control Of the leaf
curl. Taking these facts into con-
sideratiOn, therefore, the peach OIL
chards in this area should be given
an application of commercial lime
sulphur (32 degrees Baume) at
strength of Is gallons to 1856 gal
Ions of water, or Bordeaux mixture
of the 2-4-50 formula, within the
next few days, or just as soon as the
present period of freezing weather
is over.
To control the leaf-curl, scale and
red mite the peach growers are ad-
vised to use the oil sprays with the
2-4-5O Bordeaux mixture. All com
mercial oil sprays should be used as
recommended by the manufacturers
and caution should be taken to not
use any broken down oil emulslons
or miscible oils that have settled
out, as free oil will seriously injure
the trees.

If the case be taken by Illinois to
the United States Supreme Court
and if the State Court be upheld,
Senator Levin, of Maryland, said
there appeared to be sufficient SINH
larity in the Maryland and Illinois
statutes to result in the eventual
wiping out of the entire gasoline tax
in this State, possibly making action
in regard to the one and One-half
cent road tax inadvisable at present.
Harry N. Abercromble, vice-presi-
dent of the Automobile Club of
Maryland, said:
There is no question but that the
Maryland gas tax is discriminatory.
He pointed out that it applied to
one class of vehicles only-gasoline-
driven automobiles.
''This type of tax always has been
looked at askance by the courts"
Mr.. AbercrOmble asserted. 81 feel
