COOL HIVES CON-
troll SW ARMIN

Protecting the bee hives and SUI
pers from the direct rays of the sun
during the hottest part of the day
will help to control swarming. Hives
should be protected from the suns
rays by shade boards or double COW
ers. Painting the hives white also
helps. Apiaries should be located
where there is a good circulation of
air in the yard; if placed in hot
nOoEs with insufficient circulation of
air, the discomfort to the bees will
make them leave the supers during
the heat of the day, thus increasing
the tendency to swarm. The use Of
large entrances during the swarming
season, if the weather is hot, and
perhaps additional openings for ven
tilation, also aid in swarm control.
The time of issuing of the swarm
depends somewhat upon the weather
and, in the case of Italian bees es-
pecially, may be hastened by ex-
tremely hot weather. Swarming is
more difficult to control in the clov-
er region of the country than in any
other region, and frequently about
half the crop is lost in this way.

PREVENTING CHIGGER BITES
is BETTER THAN CURING THEM

When chiggers grow older they re-
form, mend their ways, and cease to
be the seasonal source of annoyance
and inconvenience to many victims
which was characteristic of their
flaming youth. A chigger, F. c..
Bishopp of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture explains, is the
first or larval stage of a large red
velvety mite which is entirely harm
less when mature. Contrary to the
popular impression chiggers do not
burrow into the skin and require ex-
traction for relief. The chigger,
minute in size though it is, is cap
able of injecting a considerable
quantity of poisonous material into
it's host, and it is this poison that
causes all the discomfort, the per-
sistent itching that follows chigger
bites.
Destroying the chiggers does not
seem possible, the Bureau of Ento-
mology says, in areas which are COW
cred with woods and underground,
but preliminary studies by the bur-
eau indicate they can be checked in
the vicinity of homes and camps by
clearing away the underbrush, vines,
and weeds from such areas, keeping
the grass cut close, and by following
these measures with applications of
flowers of sulphur or very fine dust
ing sulphur. 1t appears, the bureau
says, that from 5 to 10 pounds of
sulphur scattered over an ordinary
city lot will give a high degree of
control, sometimes from a single
treatment, but it is usually best to
repeat the application two or three
times at intervals of one to two
weeks. This is especially necessary
when the applications are followed |
by rain.
Humans are by no means the only
victims of the chigger. Normally
they feed upon small wild animals,
including snakes and lizards and
they may attack birds. They are a
pest of considerable importance to
poultry, and are especially trouble
some on late hatched chicks and
Heavily infested chicks
soon become droopy and drowsy, Ia
ter may show symptoms of paraly-
sis, and quite frequently die from the
attack within few days. Early hat
ching usually prevents losses of
poultry. Late matches should be
kept out of high grass and brush
when chiggers are prevalent. The
use of sulphur as described gives
some protection, but usually if the
chicks are brooded by hen and al
owed free range they will become
On chickens the chiggers

SAYS FARMERS
IN MIDDLE WEST
ARE PROSPEROUS
F. Edison White Declares Politicians
Back of Calamity HOWIs.

Despite the hue and cry raised
over the Middle Western farmer and
his difficulties, he is more prosper
GUS now than at any time since the
war, says F. Edison White, president
of Armour and Company. He was
addressing the National Livestock
and Meat Board.
Politicians, he said, are behind
the movement to make the farmer
appear in financial difficulties. What
the Middle West should do, Mr..
White advised, was put our heels
on the necks of the calamity howl
ers."
Figures were presented to show
that the average annual income of
the Middle Western farmers is above
the average for American farmers.
The average income in Nebraska is
S4010, he said, in South Dakota,
$3566; in Iowa, $41S0 and in Kansas
S3023, while the national farmer in
come average is $780,
Reports of the Federal Reserve
Bank, Mr.. White said, indicate that
Middle Western farmers have been
able to save money, thereby showing
they are making money at farming
The number of bank accounts and
the amount of deposits have in
creased in the last two years while
bank failures have decreased appre-
ciably.
The speaker did recommend two
things TO imDrOVe farming cO0di-
tions. They are a better relationship
between supply and demand and i'm
provement of farming method.
The postponement for at least
several years of further land recla-
nation projects by the government,
a development of cooperative mark
citing and a discontinuance of the
'back to the farm" propaganda were
recommended by Mr.. White.

WISE OR OTHERWISE

If woman's hips are large in pro-
portion to her waist and bust, she
should choose long vertical lines
from the shoulder to the floor in de-
signing her dresses. These lines
may be stripes in the material,
bands, or rows of trimming, rows of
buttons, tucks, and so on.
To whip cream successfully you
must have the cream and the bowl
very cold. If the kitchen is hot, #
is better to whip the cream out of
doors, using dover beater. Or
stand the cream bowl in a pan of
cracked ice. To obtain the best whip
it is well to use cream that contains
at least 80 per cent butterfat and
that has aged at least "a hours.
An, easy dinner menu for wash-day
may be acceptable: Cold sliced corn
beef or other met; vegetable curry;
baked bananas. You can
use various vegetables in the curry,
but good combination contains rice,
onion, carrots, fresh or canned peas,
celery, in about equal amounts, and
Cook the rice first. Cook
The vegetables the necessary length
Of time for each in a small amount
Of water. Make a ring of the rice,
and put the vegetables in the middle,
pouring over them a sauce made of
he vegetable water, seasoned with
curry, salt, pepper, or Worcester
hire sauce, and butter.

THE WILDWOOD CALF CLUB

The Millwood Calf Club met with
Walter Davis on Monday evening,
June 18th, at the home of his faith
er. This club is very active noS,
having thirteen members. Most all
of these boys now own registered
Guernseys and Jerseys calves. The
First National Bank of Milford has
very kindly loaned them money to
purchase pure-bred calves, and also
gave some of the members scholar
ship of ten dollars to the short
course at Delaware College at New
ark now being held. The boys are
very grateful to the First National
Bank of Milford for the loan of
money and for the scholarship given
them. The next meeting will be
held by Walter Harrington at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred T. Harrington, Jr., on July 2.
All try to be present, as we expect
to hear a good report from the
members who attend the short
course at Newark.

OLD SLAUGHTER BEACH
BY-THE-SEA SHORE

The present season of Old Slaugh-
ter Beach by-the-sea, only eight
miles from Milford, has opened with
the most promising outlook for pros
perity it has ever experienced. The
sea sleds and motor boats owned by
the several cottagers who make the
place their summer recreation point,
have been presenting impromptu
races that are exciting, and wonder
full to those who never saw these
marvellous boats in action. The own
ers of cottages are mostly the lead
ing business men of Milford, Ellen
dale, Lincoln and other places in
Sussex County; but several come
from Pennsylvania, and their cot
tages are far above those of former
years. Electric lights, water supply
and sanitary conveniences are in
most of the cottages, while those
which have been recently built or
remodeled, have fireplaces and en-
closed screened porches which make
them delightful for the late fall oc-
cupancy.
The State is asking for bids for
building the road from the boulevard
to Slaughter Beach, and the bids are
to be opened on July oath; when this
is finished, then real shore resort
for the people will be available.
Mrs. Lena Stayton Reynolds has
recently purchased the cottage own
ed by George S. Grier and will oc-
cupy it this season after a few tenn
porary changes are completed.
The G. T. Reed cottage has been
remOdeled and is now one of the real
homes at this shore.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Jester are
completing their large and very
handsome cottage on the southern
end of the boardwalk, and several
others now building will be ready
'or occupancy in the latter part of
July. |,
(The Chronicle will be pleased to
lave a weekly letter from this fine
I'D shore resort, and some one must
'e interested sufficiently to gather
nd write the items that will keep
I'D Slaughter Beach and its attrac-
ions and dOings socially, before the |
Iublic. 1t would be just sufficient !

PEOPLE
WANT A NICE DOG

Thirty-seven persons wrote letters
and seven made personal application
for young collie dog, that was ad-
vertised in last weeks Milford
Chronicle by Harrison Lynch of
North Milford. The winner was
young lady accompanied by her par
ents, who applied ready to transport
the handsome dog to their home. The
appeal of the young lady was ire
sistable and Mr.. Lynch transferred
his right, title and claim to the
proud owner, and now he is desirous
to have the public know this fact,
that further applicants will not write
in. Several letters came from near
Seaford, Millsboro and Bridgeville,
which tells the story of the wide
range of people who read the Mil
ford Chronicle, even to the small
classified advertisements, each week.

With the coming of sunny wealth
er and a more seasonable tempera-
ture, Milford people have begun to
feel the irresistible lure OF the
beaches, so that all social functions
have given way to bathing parties
and beach supper parties, and most
of the town folks who own cottages
at the shore are missed by their
friends. About the first family to
move to Slaughter Beach were the
C. d. Holzmuellers some weeks ago,
the S. M. d. Marshalls moved last
week and DIR. and Mrs. w. r. Pierce
and family this week. Others now
settled at Slaughter Beach for the
summer are George Draper, the
Wallace Burns, the Postles Ham
monds, Mr.. and Mrs. John Burris,
the Howard DerricksOn's cottage is
nearing completion, and the G. Mar
shall Townsends will spend the
month of July at Slaughter Beach.
DR.. and Mrs. E. T. Williams are
spending a few days each week
there now.
The C. E. Varneys and the Viii
liam V. Sipples have re-Opened
their cottages at RehObOth, as have

PULLETS ARE VICTIMS OF
PATRIOTIC "DEVIL CHASERS"

Devil chasers" were convicted of
the mysterious deaths of a dozen
pullets on a Virginia farm shortly
after the Fourth of July last year
when pathologists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
made a laboratory examination of
one of the dead birds. Fireworks,
therefore, are now listed among the
numerous causes of poultry losses
against which the department urges
precautionary measures.
Phosphorus poisoning was sus-
pected when the examination of the
laboratory specimen disclosed a
smoky vapor pouring out from
among the contents of the gizzard.
The odor of phosphorus was very
evident, and in a dark room the es-
Gaping vapor was luminous.
Subsequent detective" work re-
vealed the fact that on the Fourth
of July the farmers children had
exploded a number of devil chas-
ers" in the driveway where the pull
let's were in the habit of picking up
sharp gravel. The devil chasers"
were fiat brownish cakes about the
size of a 25-cent piece and contained
The unexploded frag-
ments of the fireworks were prob
ably swallowed by the pullets in
the course of several days after the
children's celebration. The poison
ing action was delayed somewhat by
the fact that the phosphorus was
mixed with a hard substance that |
was not readily soluble.
Veterinarians, says the depart
ment, would do we'll to bear in mind |
the findings in this case when called |
upon to make a diagnosis of the
cause of death of poultry in cases
suggestive of poisoning, particular
ly just after Independence Day cele-
bration. ]

cred by down or feathers, and light
busting with sulphur will give some
relief.
No method has been found for CIV
ing an entirely satisfactory protec-
ton to people. When going into
places where chiggers abound, the
bureau advises that it is we'll to wear
high-top shoes over the trousers, or
leather leggings. Dusting the body
and underwear with flowers of sui
phur will give high degree of pro-
lection from attack.

FELLOWSHIP CLASS NOTES

The Fellowship Glass thanks all
those who helped us make the beach
party such a success. The weather.
too, was in our favor. A beautiful
moonlight night. Meeting together
in the trucks, singing the old songs,
each was drawn nearer in a feeling
of cOmradeship. The hall was dec
GRATED in crepe paper. About eight
O'Clock Mrs. Num-, teacher of the
class, rang the bell to bring the
people together. The hall was soon
filled. Mrs. Num- opened the pro-
gramme by the audience rising and
singing America. Poem by Mrs.
Num-. The Ride of Paul Revere.
