very essential to this particular
crop.
In addition to these experiments
plans were made last spring by
County Agent Wilson in cooperation
with George R. Cobb, agricultural
agent for the N. V. Potash Export
My of Amsterdam, Holland, to con-
duct demonstrations in three other
vineyards in this county to show the
value of an additional amount of
muriate of potash in increasing the
yield and improving the quality of
the grapes. The vineyards which are
being used for this purpose this year
are those of Ed. Willim and Denney
Pleasanton in the Dover district and
Ed. Todd, near Viola.
This extra potash was applied in
addition to the fertilizer which each
grower used in his vineyard, and a
record will be taken this season of
the production and quality of the
grapes from each of these potash
plots and compared with the results
obtained from the remainder of the
vineyard. This is the third year that
this work has been carried on in
Kent county, and interesting results
have been secured from some of the
potash plots which have shown not
only an increase in the yield of
grapes, but the production of more
compact clusters with a less amount
of shattering of the berries at har-
vest time.

munization which has been brought
about. There, are however, other all
ments, possibly not so severe, but
capable of injecting more or less
permanent damage which must be
guarded against. Scarlet fever is not
yet comfortable. We must protect
against it by recognizing it early
and preventing contact with those
not protected. Colds and affection of
the air passages and lungs are trans
missable, as are number of skin
affections" he said.
"That child is fortunate who has
been prepared for his school life and
over whom during school constant
health supervision is sustained" DR..

PROGRESS

Planes a-f1yin' through the air
Radios a-squawkin';
Chimes a-buzzin' everywhere:
It's no use a-talkin'
World am goin' right along,
Else am mistaken
Moves at such a risky speed
Sets my nerves a-quakin'.
Used to wash de clothes by hand
Up and down a-rubbin',
Now we turn de power on
Let it do de scrubbin'.
Likewise when we plows de field,
Tractor goes a-speedin'-
Covers burrows up so quick
Chickens lose der feedin'.
Dey say it's lack of exercise
Dat brings on operation.
De hospital am de busiest place
In all de whole creation:
But dey can take a man apart
Just like dey do a flivver,
And put some stitches in his heart
And patches on his liver.
Folks mostly used to be engaged
Before the marriage started,
But now three headlines am display
ed
'Tied up" Fell out" and parted"
To tell de truth in summin' up
To weigh it to de letter.
don't know whether dis old world
Am gettin' worse or better.

TAX DODGERS CAUGHT

JUST AS WELL make the tax
dodgers pay the fine and costs for
failure to fill up the income tax
forms and return them to the tax
commissioner last winter for the
year 1927.
By so doing they will help the
school fund for Delaware and in all
probability rs per cent of the men
and women would have escaped by
performing this duty from paying
any tax. Tax lodging grew to be an
art with many in Delaware in years
gone by, but now all must comply
with the law and pay the just taxes,
or failing to do this be forced pay a
penalty and costs added. 1t is only
fair and lust to make all pay, so
waste no sympathy on the tax
dodger.

CORRECTS ARTICLE TEND.
ING TO DISCREDIT PEN.
SION PLAN OF A. L DUPONT

An article appeared in the New
York World dated August 8, and al
so the Philadelphia papers which
stated that according to the plan
funds were to be loaned to those in
need of assistance, with the provi-
sion that these loans were to be re-
paid in the event that the old age
pension measure was legalized at
the next session of the legislature.
have given out to the local news
papers no such statement; as it has
been clear from the beginning that
the money given by Mr.. DUPONT to
the neediest poor would be a gift for
those receiving it, and in no way
would take the form of a loan.
Such information is a scheme to
discredit our work and it was un-
doubtedly circulated with that in
tent.
I am sorry I didn't receive the
clipping Of this false statement at
the time it was published, as I would
have made the correction as soon as
the article appeared in print.

Could the Rotary Club have seen
the real pleasure they made possible
by sending the Boys Band to Long
wood on Monday they would have
felt fully repaid for the time and ef-
fort spent toward that end. The oc-
casion was the annual visit of the
u. S. Marine Band to Longwood, the
estate of Mr.. Pierre S. DUPONT. For
five years a concert has been given
by this organization and it is look
ed forward to from one visit to the
next. The programs given are sure
to please and as an onlooker watch
ed the faces of the boys from Mil
ford one saw nothing but real en-
Nyment registered there, combined
with the wish that their own organ
ization might attain something OF
the renown of the Marine Band. 1t is
examples of this high rank that In
spire the youthful musicians to 90
