2 STATE o. KS COP LIVER OIL
PRODUCT
Says Product Of vineland Concern OF
Benefit To Poultry Industry.

Dispatches from Trenton give &
clean bill of health to a Vineland
product which was suffering be.
cause of chemists report stating
that most cod-liver oil preparations
on the market today are worthless.
This concern is the Slime Chemi-
cal Company, which manufactures a
cod liver oil powder. 1t was shown
that the official report had no in
.tention of including Coliverol, trade
name of the Slime product, in the
class of powders and tablets which
were found not to contain the neces-
sary vitamin value for poultry ra-
tions. On the other hand, it was
commented that the Slime laborator-
les had conferred a distinct benefit
upon the poultry industry through
their formula and cooperation with
poultry officials of state agricultural
colleges over the country.
A statement from c. S. Plat, as
sistant professor of poultry hus-
bandry at the New Jersey Agricul-
tural Experiment r Station, New
Brunswick, declared that we found
Coliverol contained Vitamin D" and
"had sufficient potency to prevent leg
weakness in the experimental chicks
used"
L. N. Gilmore, professor of poultry
husbandry at Syracuse University,
and manager of the university poul-
try farm, declared that in an extern
sive test, checked against cod liver
oils ofivarious, degrees of refinement,
Coliverol showed very satisfactory
results" -........ u.s.. ...

there were no indications of rick

Mr. Townsend explained that
Colonel Brown had agreed to the
canal at Indian river being closed
hut Maryland eople had objected
and the Govern. ient. refused to AZ
low the canal to be closed. 1t is now
proposed to have gates placed on
the canal so that it may be opened
and closed at will and the govern
ment is expected to approve this
plan.
Mr.. Townsend remarked that the
size of the state surplus appeared 10

people thought they should have
some benefit.
Senator Simonton said some peo-
PIE appeared to think the surplus is
much larger than can be shown By
tile books.
When I became governor" said
Mr.. Townsend, I'VE had a surplus
OF $250,00O but when l went out we
had $1,75O,OOO"

SimOntOn.
Senator Simonton jocularly re-
marked once during the hearing
that if Coleman DUPONT would con-
tinue to build all the roads and
Pierre S. dupont would continue to
build all the schools everybody
would be happy to which Senator
burton replied:
Il do not agree with you. l think
the state should build its own roads
and it's own schools.
Representative Lingo introduced a
bill in the House to appropriate $751;
900 to complete the work of opening
the inlet. The bill retains the same |
three commissioners who spent the |
1000 on this work under a bill of |
the last Legislature, John G. Town
send, Jr,, Rufus D. Lingo, Jr., and
William J. P. White.
Under another bill introduced by |
Mr.. Lingo the same three men are |
named a commission to place tide |
gates in the Assawoman and Lewes |
and Rehoboth canals at location |
to be selected by the commission.
The bill would appropriate $4,000
for this work. This is part of the
scheme to make the opening of the
Indian River inlet permanent JOB.

ton of $4,000 was made for the
work. At that time heq said, it was
hoped that the government would
join with the state in the work and
Colonel Earl 1. Brown, United States
Engineer at Wilmington. endeavored
to secure the cooperation Of the
government but failed. Previous to
this former Senator Coleman du-
p0nt had contributed + $50a toward
making survey. and others includ=
ing himself had also contributed.
The surveys were made under dfrec-
ton of Colonel Brown.
The ScOmmissionain charge found
that the amount of money opshand
was NIT sdfRcient to do the work
and make the project permanent
and for year held off. The people
OF the section, however, declared
that the conditions in Indian river
we're causing Illness and there was
general demand that something
be done. The commission received
bids under the plans proposed by
tie United States Engineer and
found that from the bids it hal
about one-third enough money to
wamplete the project. 1t was finally
decided that if it was possible to
open the inlet with the money on
hand the project should be modified
and work done. 1t was then decided
to dig a trench so feet wide and
eight feet deep and to blow the
opening with dynamite. This was
done. 1t will be a useless piece of
work. however, unless it is possible
to make the trench double the width
and two feet deeper.
Mr.. Townsend stated that the
cost of the work done was; salary of
the engineer, $1366.66;. expense
$7950; labor, $719.99; preliminary
dredging $60350; stakes, etc, $685.
81; miscellaneous. expenses, 1927;
dredging $37,037S6 leaving bal
ance due of $2,5S2.1S for which the
members of the commission will be
responsible unless the Legislature
shall pay the money.
According to the engineers esti-
mate to complete the project would !
require these amounts: engineers |
salary $4,000; stakers $500; gates in
canal $4,000; bulkheading $4,000; |
dredging $44,6S3; total $72,6S3; |
$4,000; total S75.6S3. 1t
was also suggested that for short
time maintenance fund of $4,000
Il year might be necessary.
Mr.. Townsend said in his opinion
outside of the schools and roads Of
the state, nothing is more important
from a state viewpoint than this
project. He alluded to how prop
erty values would increase and also
10 the revenue which would be OBJ
tanned from fishing licenses.

)ne would be benefited except the

in extending credit. For instance.
a lax credit policy. the bulletin
