Fourth Representative Distri,
SHOULD TREAT SEED
WHEAT AGAINST SMUT
County Agent Wilson Says Growers
Should Take Precautions

In view of the fact that the stink
ing smut, or blunt" as it is often
called, is still prevalent in the
wheat crop in many sections of the
state, necessary measures for the
control of this disease should be
considered by those growers who
are experiencing this trouble in this
years crop, is the warning that is
being sent out at this particular
time by Kent County Agent Russell
E. Wilson who has been working on
this wheat smut control program
for the past three years in coopera-
ton with DR.. j. F. Adams, Plant
Pathologist of the University of
Delaware, and the State Board of
Agriculture.
Although every possible effort has
been made by means of seed treat
ment demonstrations and newspaper
publicity to call the attention of the
farmers to the Importance of treat
ing their seed wheat to control this
smut, not all of the growers are
following this practice with the re-
suit that many wheat fields through
out the county and state are infected
with this disease. That great pro-
gross has been made, however, in
the amount of seed wheat treated
in Kent county during the past
three years is shown by the fact

MISTOOK LIVE WIRE
FOR LIGHTNING BUG.
INSTANTLY KILLED
Seventeen Yenr Old Boy Meets
Death 10 Peculiar Accident At
Camden.
HIS PAL ALSO SHOCKED
He Grabbed His Friend Without
Thinking And Is Saved By
Another.

Otis Long, aged II years, was kill
ed at Camden, Delaware, last Friday
night when he picked up a broken
electric light wire thinking it was a
lightning bug. Lester Hudson, also
IL years old, was severely shocked
when he attempted to drag Long
away from the wire. Both boys lived
at frankfort. Long being a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harley Long, of that
town.
The boys went to Camden to work
during their vacation at the fruit
canning plant of the G.. L. Carey and
Sons Company. They were sitting on
the porch of their boarding house
Friday night when Long saw what
he thought was an unusually large
lightning bug on the ground short
distance away and went over to see
it. The flames of light were being
made by broken wire on the
ground. Before he realized what it
was he was entangled in the wire.
Hudson seeing his friends plight
ran to his assistance and without
thought of himself grabbed him. He
could not let go but a man whose
name was not learned put on rub
Der boots and rubber gloves and
the two lads from the |
wire. Both were rushed to the Kent !
General Hospital at Dover. 1t was
found that Long was dead, having
probably been killed at once by the |
shock. Hudson had been severely
shocked, but he expressed a desire
to be taken to frankfort and was
taken to his home there.
The wire was part of the system
which furnishes Camden with cleo
trio current for lighting and power.
1t is not know what voltage it car
