SEEK INFANTILE
PARALYSIS CURE

Like cancer, infantile paralysis or
acute anterior poliomyelitis is one
of our dreaded diseases which still
battles medical science. As yet the
guess of one doctor is just as good
as that of another as to the cause of
this disease. The U. S. Public
Health Service has been working to
solve the battling mystery for a
number of years. The outbreak last
fall, which was the most widespread
and virulent since 1916, aroused
new efforts to analyze and overcome
this dreaded malady which has
doomed thousands to a life of de-
formity and discomfort. Now three
especially qualified research work
ers of the health service have been
assigned to concentrate on the task
of conquering 1.-THE Pathfinder.

MILFORD'S GRAND OLD
MAN NEAR DEATH
William Harrison Davis Paralysis
Victim At Age OF Ninety-FOur

William Harrison Davis, aged "a
years, and one of Milford's oldest
citizens, was stricken with paralysis
Wednesday afternoon The attend
ing physicians say that death is only
a matter of hours. Mr.. Davis was
found in one of the Outbuildings at
his home on East Second street.
South Milford, shortly after one o.
clock Wednesday afternoon, when a
search was made for him by a negro
servant. He had been called to his
dinner and his failure to respond had
caused a search. When found he was
lying on his back unconscious. Mr..
Davis had apparently been fixing a
lock on the door of the outbuilding,
for parts of the lock were laying
near him. All of his children and
his wife are at his bedside. They
are Edward M. Davis, of Whining
ton, Walter H. Davis and Mrs. Oscar
d. Ackerman of Milford.

AIM TO REDUCE DEATH

second, 81 will keep clean brooder
houses, 20 will have clean land for
their chicks, 81 will try to keep
clean litter in the houses, 81 will
use clean feed, 80 will practice clean
management and 80 will have clean
laying houses.
Accurate records of 27 of these
men showed that up to two weeks
of age an average of ESQ of their
chicks died. This is an extremely
low percentage of mortality. In
fact, it is about the lowest Sussex
has ever had. The best record
showed a loss of .2S9o, and the
poorest record showed a loss of
1870. These same men will keep
records of their chick mortality
until they reach the age of six
months.
Apparently most of the losses thus
far were caused by weak chicks,
cOccidiOsis and worms.

share of dredging in order to get the
appropriation from the government
! Several months ago a hearing was
held in Lewes on the subject and at
that time the business people Oi
Lewes asked that a number of i'm
provements be made in the Harbor
of Refuge and also that a channel 1S
feet deep be dredged from the main
channel to the Queen Anne Railroad
wharf so as to accommodate ship
ping from Lewes. The pier is now
the property of Captain W. H. Col
Inns who bought it from the rail-
road company through w. H. Bur-
bage.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture bill was passed appropriating
100000 for pier near the railroad
pier and at the end of the concrete
road in Lewes. This pier would not
be more than 300 yards from the
railroad pier. There is also a fish
house pier near the railroad pier
which is used by the boats of the
fish company, but the river there is
shoaling. 1t is probable that an eff
fort will now be made in Lewes to
get the necessary funds to do the
additional dredging demanded by the
and also to have the
State proceed with the building of
the State wharf and pay for some of
the dredging in that section.
Nothing can be done, however un-
til Congress has passed the bill and
the people ascertain what they are
expected to do in order to get the
government appropriation.

House of Representatives, including
Mr.. DUPONT.
In addition to Mr.. DUPONT, former
United States Senator L. HeisleI
Ball will be asked to accept the
nomination of representative, it was
learned. The fact that Mr.. DUPONT
and former Senator Ball will be
sought as candidates lends strength
to the belief that certain Republi-
cans who were opposing each other
have now come together.
Others who, it is understood, will
be asked to be candidates for the
House of Representatives are for
mer Lieutenant Governor John M,
Mendinhall, of the Tenth Represen-
tative district; Martin B. Burris,
former representative of st. Georges
hundred; Frank L. Speakman, attOr-
ney for Levy Court, of Brandywine
hundred; J. Pilling Wright, of the
Newark district; Harry c. Clark, of
the Red Lion district; Macmillan
Hopes, of the Christiana district,
all in New Castle county.
Other capable candidates for the
House of Representatives will be
sought not only in New Castle coun-
ty, but also in Kent and Sussex
counties.
The men are being selected prin-
cipally for their ability to handle
financial matters. 1t was pointed out
that although Mr.. DUPONT is wide
ly known anti-prohibitionist, the
wet and dry question is not enter
ng into his or any of the other Sc
ections. Mr.. Speakman, being asso-
cited with the, Levy Court, will be

New Castle county finances, it was

WHAT is THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
BOBWHITES AND OUATLSt

Many people think that the bob
white and the quail are distinct spe-
cies Of birds. "Bobwhite" is merely
the common name for the native
American quail, particularly the
"Colinus Virginianus" or Virginia
quail. The quail is called "bob-
white" from the note of the male,
which is accented on the second syl-
liable and sounds like "bobhwite." In
the Southern states the same bird is
called partridge" name used in
the North for the ruffed grouse or
pheasant.-The Pathfinder.

POTASH AIDS CORN
CROP is. REPORT

That potash develops more ant
better corn was demonstrated by J
T. Reynolds of Georgetown who con-
Quoted test on his farm in coop
Grafton with former County Agent M
c. Vaughn.
The soil on which Mr.. Reynolds
had his plots was a sassafras sandy
loan, typical for this section, and
for this test he used Reid's Yellow
Dent corn.
In preparation for this test Mr..
Reynolds turned under a good stand
of clover and vetch and applied 400
lbs. of a O-7-6 per acre. This he ap-
piled to the entire plot of three acres
and then divided this into two plots
of 11s acres each.
He planted his corn four feet X
four feet, thus having about 2,722
hills per acre.
On plot No. 1, nothing more was
added and from this plot he harvest
ed 165 baskets of corn.
On plot No. 2, Mr.. Reynolds ap-
piled in addition to the above, 100
lbs. of potash on the 11s acres.
From this plot he harvested 1872 bas-
kets of corn. In addition to the in
creased yield of II baskets, the corn
o nthe plot where he used potash
lost less in weight from the time of
November 1927, to March
1928. Again the stand Of clover on
this plot, where he applied the extra
potash is about 1O-15% better than
where no potash was used. 1t is so
striking that one can see to the
row where Mr.. Reynolds did not ap-
ply any potash.
Mr.. Reynolds is thoroughly con-
vinced that this small application of
potash not only gave him more and
better corn, but also more and bet
ter clover.
