DENIES OYSTER BAR DELETED
Cambridge Oysterman Says They Are
Plentiful in Area in Question

The statement of Swepson Earle,
State Conservation Commissioner,
that only 160 bushels of oysters to
the acre were found on the bar ad-
jacent to the Cambridge hospital in
a survey last Friday, is not borne out
by Thomas Robbins, oysterman, who
assisted H. Z. Collins, chief engineer
Of the conservation department. Mr..
Robbins said that in his estimation
the oysters were running about 1000
bushels to the acre, and that they
were deeper than was supposed by
local oystermen. The majority of
oystermen in this vicinity declare Mr..
Earle's statement to be wrong. Mr.
Robbins said that in every dip he
made with his dredge while with Mr.
Collins he brought up a dredge full Of
oysters. He denied the report al
legged to have been made by Mr.. Col
lins,i and pointed to the evidence Civ
en- by William Jones, another oyster
man, who took part in the removal Of
the first 1000 bushels to Lecomptes
Bay Mr.. Jones reported ne dredged
500 bushels Of oysters from corner
of the bay in two hours. One hun
dred and sixty bushels Of oysters to
the acre means, in the language Of
oystermen, "barren bottom" Oyster
men Of Cambridge believe that at
least 10000 bushels of oysters are on
the bar and that in quality they are
primes. Owing to the restriction of
the Health Department, they cannot
be used for food. An act Of the Leg
islature authorized removal Of the
oysters to LeComptes Bay, the eX-
pense to be borne by the tongers Of

Substance" was the subject of the

Chronicles 20: IL, II; Chime is the
kingdom, 0 Lord, and thou art ex-
alted as head over all. Both riches
and honour come Of thee, and thou
reignest over all" Among the eita-
tions which comprised the Lesson
Sermon was the following from the
Bible: "Now faith is the substance Of
things hoped for, the evidence Of
things not seen" John IT'D. The
Lesson Sermon also included the fol-
lowing passages from the Christian
Science textbook, "Science and Health
with Key to the Ccriptures" BY Mary
Baker Eddy: Substance is that which
is eternal and incapable of discord
and decay. Truth, Life, and Love are
substance, as the Scriptures use this
word in Hebrews: 'The substance Of
things hoped for, the evidence Of
things not seen" Spirit, the synonym
of Mind, Soul, or God, is the only real
substance" (p 468).

FARMERS 70 PLANT SEED soon
New Castle County Agent Says They
Should be Preparing for Wheat

Within the next few weeks, farm
ers Of New Castle county will be
making preparations for sewing seed
for the 1929 winter wheat crop. In a
large measure these preparations
made year in advance Of the har-
vest-wilI determine what kind Of a
harvest it will be, what the cost Of
each bushel, what the quality is, and
how much profit in the crop. "All
Of these factors" says County Agent
Ed. Willim, Jr., SHOULD be consider
ed BY the farmer in getting his land
ready for wheat planting" Mr.. Will
lin said that not only is the wheat
crop largely dependent upon what is
done in the next few weeks, but the
success Of the clover or other sedings
will be governed largely by the prep
arations made for the grain crop.
With the large amount Of wheat
grown in New Castle county, espec-
tally in the middle and southern parts
it is advisable to prepare the land
ward insuring the harvesting Of a
high quality as well as quantity crop
next summer.
