addressed for mailing to the entire
list of Delaware taxables within The
next few days.. and it will be re-
quired by the department that re-
turns be filed showing a complete
report of income.
Failure to file the return is q
criminal violation of the law. Sec
ton %, paragraph Z, of article III,
provides heavy penalties for failure
to file. This section is Cited as
follows:
ANY taxable who shall refuse or
neglect to make the return required
to be made under article l of this
act within thirty days after the last
day for making such return, or who
shall refuse or neglect to pay the
filing fee required to be paid upon
the filing of such return, or who
shall refuse or neglect to pay the
tax assessed against such taxable
within thirty days after it becomes
due, shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by a fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars
or by Imprisonment not exceeding
six months or both in the discretion
of the court"
Certain classes of persons have
been exempt by law from The filing

Many persons, it is reported, have
'een under the impression that the
bolition of the fee released them
rom the obligation of reporting in
ONE if no tax was due. This is an ]
rroneous belief, according to the I
Interpretation of the law by the ,
apartment. +
Even if citizen or resident of {
his state fails to receive one of the s

ADVISES CARE OF FOWL
FOR EGG PRODUCTION
rConrinred from frn paael


AS long as the birds are healthy
and eating heartily this schedule
will produce good results, but if the
birds should contract the pox, roup
or colds, and go off feed for some
unknown reason, then something
extra should be done to increase
food consumption. 1t is impossible
for birds to lay many eggs unless
they are eating heartily, so instead
of feeding grain only once or twice
a day, it should be fed five or six
times day in very small quantities.
If the birds like wheat better than
corn, they should get an additional
amount of wheat, and vice versa. 1t
is also suggested that if the birds
will not clean up the usual amount
of moist mash the quantity should
be reduced and something like
chopped onions, lettuce, cabbage, or
table scraps, be added to make the
ration more appetizing.
While the birds are out of condi-
ton, the feeds given should be
governed by their appetites, and
then as they regain their health
and appetites, the regular feeds and |
schedule of feeding may be resumed |
With the layers in the prime Of |
condition, however, it pays to cater |
to their appetites, since no two |
fiOcks are likely to have the same |
tastes or reactions to the ration Civ |
en- to them. One flock will prefer
one particular kind of grain or mash
and another flock will require some
thing else, so as long as a complete
ration can be fed, it certainly pays
to give the birds the kind of feed
they prefer, and at the times they
want and need it. One hundred
layers in good condition will require
about 20 to 25 pounds of grain and
mash daily, the amount varying
somewhat with the different breeds
and the rate of egg production It
must be remembered, however, that
in order for layers to get in first
class condition they must eat heart
lily for several days before heavy
production starts.
In regard to house ventilation, Mr..
Palmer brings out the fact that
while it does not seem right to 5

~ leaving a large portion of the .
ront of the laying house open all
winter, it is much safer to leave it
pen than to close it too tightly, for
When the front is closed without any
provisions made for ventilation,
accumulates and the litter
ecomes damp, which usually re-
ults in an outbreak of colds and
CUP in the flock.
Perhaps the best rule to follow
fter all is to keep the front sufi-
iently open to maintain a dry
ouse and closed enough to prevent
rostbitten combs, which means that
l most parts of Delaware, the
FONTS can be left open during the
ntire winter except in times of
evere storms. If hood arrange
lent is made to prevent rain and

BROCCOLI GROWERS

ton officials and others interested
in broccoli was held last week in
the Office of the Del-Mar-Va East
ern Shore Association, at Salisbury.
Following discussion on leading
points, decision was reached to
hold meeting of all growers, ship
pers, dealers, transportation officials
and package makers. All who have
either direct or indirect interest are
urged to attend.
The tentative program provides
for consideration of the main fea-
lures of the industry. 1t includes
discussion on the following points:
What varieties should be grown?
How to secure reliable seeds?
Method of fertilization and Guilt
walton.
Harvesting for winter greens and
for stalks.
The type of package, method of
packing and whether community
packing houses would prove desir-
able.
Transportation will be one of the
major questions taken up. Shipping
by motor truck and by rail with
their individual advantages; carlot
and express shipments with methods
of loading and refrigeration will
feature this part of the program.
Transportation officials will be call
ed upon for their views.
Under marketing, the question of |
a growers organization will be con-
sidered. 1t is planned to have au-
thorities on broccoli present to dis
cuss production, marketing and the
leading features of the industry.
The fact that there has been a
growth in commercial
production and shipment of broccoli
from the Peninsula during the last
two or three years has caused it to
become a crop of decided import
ance. Those directly connected with
us development state that no time
should be lost in mapping out GER
ain standards and systems in both
production and marketing for the
)eneht OF Peninsula growers.
During. the last two or three
ears the greater portion of the
'eninsula broccoli crop was shipped
o New York and Philadelphia. 1t !
low appears that other markets at '
more distant points offer an outlet {
which, according to those familiar {
glth the subject, should prove de- \
idedly beneficial to the grower and 5
hipper. +
The production of genuine broc- I
oil is practically new industry on {
ne Peninsula and one which prom il
les to become an important item in a
ur agricultural life. Early effort t
n the part of the growers to effect b
operation among themselves and q
} properly standardize production ii
nd marketing will mean much to "
