ONE LESS MARRIAGE In
DELAWARE LAST YEAR
Department OF Commerce Reports
Shows 1888 Divorces Last Year

The Department of Commerce an
nounces that, according to the re-
turns received, there were 1,153
marriages performed in Delaware
during the year, 1928, as compared
with LISA in 1927, representing a
decrease of one or one-tenth of one
per cent. In 1916, there were 2,038
marriages performed.
During the year 1928 there were
1873 divorces granted in the State, as
compared with 1853 in 1927, repre-
senting an increase of 25 or 1853 per
cent. In 1916 there were 210 divor-
ces granted. There was one annul-
ment granted in 1928 as compared
with two in 1927.
The estimated population of the
State of Delaware on July 1, 1928,
was 244,000, and on July l, 1927,
243,000. On the basis of those esti-
mates, the number of marriages per
1000 of the population was 4.73 in
1928, as against ATS in 1927; and
the number of divorces per 1000 of
the population was OFT in 1928, as
against 0.67 in 1927.
The number of marriages was
furnished by the State Board of
Health and the number of divorces
by the prothonotary of each county.
The figures for 1928 are preliminary
and subject to correction.

Expense Reduced by Use of
Larger Equipment.

Man labor is by far the largest item
Of expense in sugar-beet production
an item of expense that is being re-
dueed in many districts by use of
larger equipment that enables more
work to be done per man in a given
time.
Farm management specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-,
ture have made a study of labor re
quirements for various operations in
the sugar-beet growing regions of
Michigan, Ohio, Colorado. Montana,
Utah, Idaho, and California. In Farm
ers' Bulletin No. 1O42-F, Saving Man
Labor in Sugar-Beet Fields" just is
sued by the department, they tell how
man labor can be saved and produc-
ton speeded up through the use of
large machines and large units of
power.
In many districts blowing with a
unit consisting of single-bottom
pillow, one man and two horses; If the
work were done with a two-bottom
four-horse plow and one man. twice
as much ground could be covered by
one man in the same time. The same
comparison is true of a number of
other operations in sugar-beet produc-
ton, such as cultivating, narrowing.

Studies With "B. C. G."
Cultures Show Them to
Be Quite Valueless.

lPreparad by the United states Department
of Agriculture-l
series of experiments with guinea
pigs, chickens. rabbits, and cattle TO
test the value of a method for produc-
ing immunity against tuberculosis has
yielded negative results, the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture announces
The method under investigation in
volyed the use of culture of Bacillus
Calmette-Guerin obtained il 1924
from the Pasteur institute, Paris. The
organism, originally cultured from a
bovine tuberculous lesion. is claimed TO
confer considerable immunity against
tuberculosis in the body of animals
vaccinated with the r. C. G. culture,
as il is commonly called.
Director of Experiments.
The bureaus experiments were d.
rected by the late DR.. E. c. Schroeder,
superintendent of the United States
experiment station, Bethesda. Md. and
were largely concluded prior TO his
death in 1923. His colleague in the
experiment was DR.. A. b. Crawford. of
the same station.
Extensive public interest in eradicat-
ing tuberculosis from live stock makes
the investigation of proposed new
method for combating tuberculosis of
unusual interest Though highly tech
nical, the essential conclusions and
summary Of the tests are briefly as
follows:
Vaccination Of guinea pigs with
g. c. G. conferred on them a slight re-
sistance TO the spread of tuberculosis,
but not true immunity as shown by
the fact that practically all animals
so treated died of tuberculosis and
that the generalization of the disease
was merely delayed.
Experiments with cattle showed
3. {. G. to be of mammalian tubercle
bacillus of very low virulence.
Cattle vaec;nated with the product
and later exposed to ordinary tubercle
bacilli readily contracted tuberculosis
No immunity Manifested.
Exposure was made by several meth
DDS, including intrarenous injection,
cqbcutaneous injection, feeding, and
contact with known tuberculous ami
mails. In general the vaccinafed cattle
showed less extensive LESSONS of tuber-
culosis than unvaccinated control cat
tie. In no group was there manifest
an immunity, as measured by the pre-
yention of infection
According TO the conclusions of Doc
tors Schroeder and Crawford, the vac
cination of cattle with B. c. G. has no
value as a means of Graduating tuber-
culosis in live stock.

Milking Machines Found
Profitable In a Test

In a three-year test with a herd
varying from 20 TO % cows on a mid
western state college dairy farm. milk
ing machines saved 521 per cent in
labor alone. This figure included the
added time spent in washing and car
ing for the milking machines and uten-
sis. 20 minutes per day where ma
chimes were used and So minutes in
the case of hand milking Hand milk
ing required 44.4 hours of labor per
week while milking machines cut that
figure to 206 hours. Four men were
used during the periods of hand milk
ing but two men with two units each
did the work when the herd was
MIXED mechanically.

Wire Bottom for Nests
Is of Much Advantage

Many poultrymen are now building
nests in their laying houses with
fine wire mesh for the bottom instead
of the usual board nests There are
two principal advantages which are set
forth for this practice. The first is
that such nests viii be freer of mites
on account of the fine dust from the
straw or other litter dropping through.
and the second is that there will be
fewer broken eggs.
Nests which are constructed on this
plan may be easily sprayed for mites.
which is an advantage in their favor.
When the straw gets low in the nests
eggs will not be so easily broken as
they would in board nests.
