for the year 1928. They are Sc
lected according to their qualifi-
cations based on the following
points: Operation of farm; bust
mes methods and ability general
farming appearance and upkeep;
home life and citizenship. 1t was
on these points that Mr. Newton
was named the master farmer"

ations of the State Board of Ag-

ing the year $50 brands of COM

ty and the method taken to stamp
it out is described. A total of
1431 animals were moculated. A
total of 434 animals died of the
disease. The work of eradicating
bovine tuberculosis is declared to
be progressing rapidly and there
are more accredited herds in Del
awar than ever before The work
of the bureau of markets is de-
scribed. Information concerning
the condition of markets is secur-
ed by telegraph, telephone and
radio and the farmers kept advis-
ed. Six hundred and ninety-two
visitations were made to poultry
establishments in the State for the
purpose of assisting in the control
of disease. Six hundred and nine
ty-five letters of instructions, and
seven thousand circulars on poul-
try disease control, were written
and distributed, for the same pur-
pose. Seventeen thousand and six
sundred doses of roup and pox
vaccine, and two thousand doses
of cutaneous chicken pox vaccine
were made and distributed to
poulttymen of the State, free of
charge. The cutaneous chicken
pox vaccine was made in this
State this year for the first time.
1t promises to effectively control
one of the most troublesome dis
eases of domesticated birds. Con-
trary to what has been said by
others, this product should not be
made and used by the layman, if
uniformly beneficial results are to
be obtained.

Smyrna streets and homes were
never more beautiful at Christmas
tide than this year. 1t seems that
most everybody has caught the
spirit and the "Ole Town" has be
come so attractive that many mo-
tor here from miles around to see
what has been declared "the best
display" of any town on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula. Besides the
Christmas lights in the business
section, inaugurated by the Smyr-
ma Merchants Association, it
seems that the spirit of Christmas
has struck many about town until
home after home is displaying a
lighted Christmas tree on their
porch or lawn, or evergreen
WreathS in windows and doors. It S
been a fine spirit of cooperation on
the part of everybody, the like of
which has never been shown in
Smyrna. Even organizations have
cooperated splendidly. Our Smyr-
ma Firemen caught the spirit and
put trees, some lighted, at every
door and window. One tree was
pulled up to the belfry and its red,
green and white lights can be
seen for a distance from town.
Smyrna Legion Post which spon-
sored the community tree and 9th
/ er trees about town, decorated the
windows Of their Post Room at
tractively. Other organizations in
a like manner have responded
beautifully. With all store windows
beautifully decorated with attrac-
tive merchandise and business of
fees showing lighted Wreaths and
trees, many have been motoring
here of evenings to dc their shop
ping. The stores have been open
of evenings since December IL.
This has drawn many from over a
wide area to see the Christmas
lights and display and coupled
with this the many hcne displays,
place to visit. During the past
week the streamers of evergreen
laurel which shad been festooned
on both sides of the street in the
business section was given a
further touch of color by the plac-
ing at the top Of every festoon, a
brilliant red poinsetta At inter
walls the Smyrna Banc, under the
leadership of George w. Sylvester

his natty red and white suit, has

happy good cheer has been on the

been a wonderfully happy and
cheerful Christmas season in
Smyrna and so pretty have been
the decorations that many are
hoping it will become an annual
affair.

emily while Mr.Carey and his fam

meat, consisting of hams, should
ers and also some lard. The next

STATE WILL REQUIRE TEST OF
AUTO DRIVER APPLICANTS
1929 AUTO DRIVERS LICENSES
LEGAL UNTIL MARCH /, 1880
All Those Who Did Not Get Per
mits This Year Will Be Requir-
ed to Undergo Driving Test

Those who did not take out a Ii
cense to operate a motor vehicle
this year, will have ia take an ex-
animation when they apply for a
license on March 1, 1880, Secre-
tary of State Charles H. Grant
land announced last week There
are several reasons why this ac-
tion has ben decided upon. Mr.
Grantland is convinced that there
are thousands, who are driving
automobiles without a drivers lie
epse. Examination will also aid
the titling department in wedding
out the inexperienced and unfit
drivers. I'VE have been very much
disappointed" said Mr.. Grantland,
because of the failure of motor
lists of Delaware to apply for their
license tags for next year. The
great majority of persons are put
ting the matter off until the last
day of this year. Then we shall
have such a crowd of applicants
that it will be difficult to transact
business efficiently. Last week we
had representative at George
town, but there was hardly any
applicants for license tags. We
are having another man there this
week, but the amount of business
transacted does not pay for the
time the clerk stays there 1t
looks as though it would not
amount to much and that we shall
have the same old hectic time
about Monday and Tuesday, De-
cember 80 and 81" The State po-
lice, it is announced, will arrest
every motorist they find on Janu-
ary /, driving with a 1929 license
tag. There will be no five days
grace this year. This fact has
been announced many times, but
it is anticipated by officials that
hundreds of motorists will at
tempt to get extension of time on
the plea that they thought they
had We days grace to obtain a Ii
cense. 1t is now legal to display
1880 tags on Delaware automo-
biles. Under the motor vehicle
laws it was permissible to use the
tags on and after Tuesday of last
week.
