FARMERS PLANTING
CABBAGE In MARYLAND
Larger Acreage Than Ever VIII Be
Given Over For Crop =

In spite of the fact that this years
cabbage crop was more or less a
failure on the lower Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia, farmers
are now actively engaged in plant
ing the vegetable for next years
harvest and indications point to a
larger acreage being devoted to cole
plants than ever before, approx
mately 1000 acres or an increase of
about 80 per cent, being given over
to that purpose.
Planting in the lower reaches of
the Shore will probably be finished
early next week, prominent farm
ers believe.
With the increased attention paid
to cabbage goes a cut in the plant
ing of early potatoes amounting to
about 90 per cent. About 100000
barrels of seed are necessary to
plant an acreage of about 20 per
cent. About 100000 barrels of seed
are necessary to plant an acreage
of about $4,000 and this means an
investment of three quarters of
million dollars. Seed is selling for
$3.50.

LAUREL AGAIN WINS
DIA A CHAMPIONSHIP
Beat Newark In State Grid Battle Al
Dover By Is To 2 Score

Laurel High foot ball team defeat
ed Newark at Dover on Thanksgiving
Day 18 to 2, in the Delaware Inter-
scholastic Athletic Associations foot
ball title game before a crowd esti-
mated at 1000. It was the third time
in row that Laurel has carried off
the foot ball championship.
Laurel's three touchdoWns all
came in the fourth quarter, while
Newark gained their two points from
a safety in the second quarter.
Although defeated the Newark
team showed up exceptionally we'll.
Outweighed perhaps ten or more
pounds per man, the Newark team
fought valiantly to protect their goal
line and did succeed in keeping it
clear for three periods and won the
distinction of outplaying the visitors
during the entire first half.
When the fourth period opened
Newark attempted to hold off Laurel
at their goal line but the line plung-
ing of Ellis, the giant Laurel full
back was too much for them and
Ellis finally went over with LaurePs
first score. Pollitt's attempt at
field goal for the extra point was a
total failure.

Experiments in disease control of
sweet potatoes, conducted this year
on the farm of Andrew ]. Dolby,
near Seaford, by DR.. T. f. Manns,
of the University of Delaware, and
County Agent c. r. Snyder, have
furnished some interesting data and
shows what can be done if the

The object of this demonstration
was to try to check wilt by seed Sc

CHRISTMAS SEALS AID
TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
The Proceeds From This Worthy
Project Are Used To Help
Sufferers.

The twenty-first annual Christmas
Seal Sale, the proceeds of which are
used all over the country to fight
tuberculosis began on December 1
In every state in the union, active
campaigns are being waged by thou
sands of volunteer workers, seeking
to distribute these dainty seals, the
sales of which have saved thousands
of lives.
In Delaware, thousands of letters
are being mailed from the head
quarters of the Delaware Anti-tu-
berculOsis Society to residents of
this Commonwealth. Later in the
month, on December II, groups of
workers will offer the seals for sale
in the larger towns and cities of
Delaware.
During the past eight years, the
death rate from tuberculosis in Del
aware has been decreased thirty-five
per cent and one of the reasons for
this i1 the educational work that has
been made possible from the pro-
ceeds of the seal sale.
In appealing to the public, Mrs.
Julia H. Ashbrook, chairman of the
Seal Sale Campaign points out the
need for a hearty response. The
money received will be used for the
sick children of the poor who are in
danger of developing tuberculosis,
and who receive treatment and care
at Sunnybrook Cottage Preventori-
um. The money is also needed to
continue extensive educational work
in Delaware schools and factories,
those health principles,
which if followed. will increasingly
prevent this dread disease.
In 1927 millions of Christmas seals
we're sold in this country to control
md prevent tuberculosis, but in
1904 they originated in a small way

health to a group of tuberculous
children in a foreign country.
At that time a children's hospital

ecided that stamps designed to dec
rate Christmas letters and pack
ges could be made to finance the
