 If oas were to ask the man in the street either in Bagdad or Basra for information as to the first home of Adam and Eve. he would unfailingly be directed to Kura, at the con- huence of the Euphrates and the Tfgris rivers, as the exact spot. Such indeed is the ancient tradition of the country.

MODERN HEALTH CRUSADE
All Schools to be Visited to Slim

Every school III Delaware in the
Modern Health Crusade" is the

FIREMEN SEEK COOPERATION
County Association Offers Sugges-
tions in Reporting Alarms

The Kent County Firemen's AS
sociation is starting an education
campaign to instruct the citizens,
especially those in the rural dis
tricts, about the proper method of
reporting fires. The firemen are
conducting this campaign in an eff
fort to render more efficient SER
vice and are urging the citizens to
carefully study their instructions.
A series of messages are being
prepared for newspaper publica-
ton. The firemen are asking the
citizens to familiariZe themselves
with the telephone number of their
nearest fire company and in case
of fire to call that number. For
rural fires the firemen suggest that
the citizens can greatly aid them
when reporting 81 fire if they will
give the best route to the scene of
the fire and also information about
the water supply. The water sup
ply suggestion is very important
as it will aid the firemen in de-
termining what apparatus to take
to the fire. The firemen are con-
this campaign solely for
the purpose of assisting the citi-
zens in a case of emergency. Past
records reveal that in cases where
the proper information has been
given, the best results have been
obtained in answering alarms.

POTASH USED ON GRAPES
Conduct Experiments in Five Diff
ferent Vineyards in Kent County

In Connection with the harvesting
of this years crop Of grapes in
Kent county, arrangements have
been made by County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson, to secure the yield
records from the fertilization dem
onstrations and experiments which
are being conducted in five differ
ent vineyards in the Dover, Wyom-
ing and Viola districts to show the
effect of the various amounts and
kinds of commercial fertilizer on
the production and quality Of fruit.
The experimental plots to determ-
inc the kind of fertilizer or the
combination of materials for OBJ
tanning best results in fruit pro-
duction, were established in the
Spring of 1924 in the vineyards of
B. B. Chase, and N. w. Taylor, and
each year the grape yields and
vine growth weights have been re-
corded from each of the eight
blocks in these two experiments.
With the exception of one year the
blocks which are receiving acid
phosphate and muriate of potash
have given the highest yields of
grapes, and another interesting
fact in connection with these tests
is that in practically every in
stance where the muriate of pot
ash has been used with any of the
other fertilizer materials there has
been an increase in the fruit pro-
duction, indicating that potash is
very essential to this particular
crop. In addition to these exper-
iments plans were made last
Spring by County Agent Wilson in
cooperation with George r. Bobb,
agricultural agent for the N. v.
Potash Export Co, of Amsterdam,
Holland, to conduct demonstra-
tions in three other vineyards in
this county to show the value of
an additional amount of muriate
of potash in increasing the yield
dllQ iii JlOklu6 Liz dOtoAAIy - SAAS
grapes. The vineyards which are
being used for this purpose this
year are those of Ed Willin and
Denny Pleasanton in the Dover
district, and Ed Todd, near Viola.
This extra potash was applied 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 re-
suits obtained from the remainder
of the vineyard. This is the third
year that this work has been car
ried on in Kent county, and inter
esting results have been secured
from some of the potash plots
which have shown not only an in
crease 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.
