SURVEY SHOWS LARGE COWS
MOST ECONOMICAL PRODUCERS

The small, refined dairy COW may
look best, but the big, roomy COW
pays most profit to her owner, &C
cording to a survey made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. In making the study large
and small COWS within one breed
were compared, both purebreds and
grades of every age being included.
On an average the largest COWS
those weighing 1900 pounds-ex-
ceeded the smallest cows-those
weighing 800 pounds-by SO pounds
of butterfat per COW. Their cost of
feed was $40 higher, but they re-
turned $43 more per COW in yearly
income over cost of feed.
An analysis of figures obtained in
the survey shows that as size of cow
advanced 100 pounds for each group
there was a fairly uniform gain in
production of milk and of butterfat,
in cost of feed per COW, and in in
come above feed cost. On the other
hand, there was a slight decrease in
the butterfat test, but this was not
enough to merit special attention.
Though the group figures always
favored the large COWS, it was found
that many individuals among the
large cows in each breed were I'M
profitable producers and that many
small COWS in each breed were prof.
table producers. Therefore in Sc
lecting dairy cows of any breed it is
not wise to select on the basis of
size alone. Size, however, is fac
tor Of great Importance"

A TOWNS STORE WINDOWS

One reason why some people buy
their supplies out of town, is that
when they go somewhere else, every
thing they see in the store windows
has the appearance of novelty. They
have not seen it before. 1t does not
usually look better than the things
they see in their store windows at
home, but it looks new to them, and
therefore more attractive.
1t helps to keep a towns trade at
home, if the business concerns are
careful to keep rearranging their
show windows, so that these shall
constantly give that appearance of
novelty which leads some folks to
buy their goods elsewhere. If the
goods thus shown are attractively
arranged and the display constantly
changed, people stop and look at
Them, and very frequently will come
in and buy.

STATE HEALTH BOARD
MAKES MILK RULES

Effective Immediately, as soon as
the necessary milk bottle tops can
be printed, the State Board of Health
will enforce new regulations con-
corning the sale and distribution of
milk. These regulations were agreed
upon at a meeting Of the State Board
of Health this week. They conform
to the national regulations of the
United States Public Health Service
and, of the Public Health Association.
There will be two grades of raw
milk and two grades of pasteurized
milk that it will be legal to sell. All
four grades must be identified on the
milk bottle top. In order to dis
tinguish between the grades, the milk
bottle tops will be printed in green
and then in red ink.
Under Grade "a" of raw milk,
there must not be more than $4,000
bacteria, the butter fat must not be
less than 1926, and the sediment not
more than S.5 per cent.
Grade 'B" raw milk is permitted
a bacterial count of 100000, scored
as fairly clean dairy.
Grade "a" pasteurized milk must
have not more than $4,000 bacterial
count and the dairy must be one
thoroughly equipped to pasteurize
the milk.
The marking on the bottle top
must state whether it is raw or pas
teurized milk, with the grade, and
the name of the dairyman.
We all know what we should do.

in the formation of book club.
At well attended meeting of the
Tomahawk Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton, Friday, November 9Th, most of
those present became members. At
ter varied program by the children,
Orville R. Wright, Of the Houston
school, outlined the work for the
year as planned by the state program
committee. Mrs. Wright, state pub
licity chairman, urged that individ-
ual members support the new publ
cation, "The Delaware Bulletin of
Education"
Before the educational programs
planned for the next six meetings of
the Parent-Teacher Association are
adopted, many associations begin
early in the school year to plan mem
bership campaigns. To date, Clay
ton has reported the largest mem
bership, having more than thirty en-
rolled. The Portsville Colored As
ISOLATION, recently organized, is the
first association to report 100 per
cent membership of parents. Ways
and means of improving the condi-
tions under which the children and
teachers work and the provision of
necessary materials, for which no
state funds are available, are dis
cussed. "Bakes" and Halloween So
Gals have been the order of the day
to raise money. The following
enumeration gives some idea of the
responsibilities assumed by the local
associations:
Com. Marlborough is discussing
the problem of the dangerous cross
ing in front of the school.
Mt. Pleasant is providing a slide
and see-saw.
Newport is considering buying the
Lincoln Readers.
Augustine and Clayton have pro-
vided magazines; the latter associa- |
ton has purchased dodge balls.

BAD AUTOMOBILE MANNERS

Many persons who are very smooth
and polished in ordinary society, will
yet do aggressive and arrogant
things when driving an automobile.
Something in that experience seems
to bring out peoples most disagree
able traits. And then there is the
great class of people who have no
sense of good manners anyway, and
who are at their very worst in the
act of motoring.
Bad manners in automobile driv-
ing are not so serious an issue as
habits of dangerous driving that i'm
perial peoples lives. But the bad
manners signify selfishness, and
they reveal character, and they are
a warning that many people con-
slider only themselves when they get
behind steering wheel, and such
folks need regulation very badly.
Two typical examples of bad man.
ners might be mentioned. One is that
of the driver who will toot his horn
because some motorist ahead is ex-
ercising caution in meeting the traf-
flc on city and town streets. 1t
seems to irritate many impatient
drivers terribly, if everyone is not as
reckless and arrogant as they are.
When anyone ahead shows decent
courtesy, the reckless one back of
him toots his horn for him to get
out of the way, land stop showing
the consideration which he regards
as foolish.
Another exhibition of bad manners
is seen when a cautious driver is
trying to keep a reasonable space
between his own car and some car
ahead. Noticing that space, drivers
full of don't care and arrogant spirit
will pass the cautious one, and then
nose their way into the narrow space
between that driver and the car
ahead. Then the cautious driver is
forced to fall back to be sure of
collision. Instances of
such character are extremely COM
mon and have many variations. But
sooner or later the rough conduct of
a lot of these people gets them into
trouble.

COMING TO AMERICA TO MARRY

Seventy young Scotch girls, who
have just landed in this country on
the steamship Cameronia, came over
to marry sweethearts. Thus the
power of love pulls young people out
of their homes and away from their
friends, to cross 5000 miles Of ocean
and live in an unknown land. Many
girls would not have the courage to
do it.
These young people have the true
pioneer spirit that built up our
country. The venture is relatively
easy now, as there are no wilder
nesses and Indians to conquer,
though sometimes the newcomers
have quite a task to fit into their
new life. But any girl who comes
over for this purpose is heartily
welcomed.

APPLE EXPORT
TRADE INCREASES
Call ct y
TVS Brad.

One-fifth of our total commercial
apple crop was exported during the
1928-29 season. This is the largest
proportion ever shipped abroad, &C
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and was the re-
suit of good apple crops in the Unit
ed States in 1928 and moderate to
poor crops in Europe.
Exports of boxed apples reached
the record figure of 10000, 900 boxes.
Exports of barreled apples amounted
to 100000 barrels, total surpassed
only in one other season, 1926-27,
when the apple crop of the Eastern
States was much larger than last
year. The outstanding feature of the
1928-29 apple export season was the
increase in shipments to continental
European markets. For the first
time continental markets took more
American boxed apples than Great
Britai nand two-thirds as many bar
relied apples.
Small apple crops this year in all
the principal producing areas in the
United States will make growers less
uepeHueuC upon foreign markets..
More competition will be met, how
ever, by such apples as are shipped
abroad. The apple crops in most
European countries are above last
year, which will tend to restrict the
outlet nthe Continent. for American
apples during the first part of the
season. Eastern Canada, particular
ly Nova Scotia, has a large apple
crop, which will mean more competi-
ton than usual for our barreled ap-
pies in the British market.

STUPID HABITS-ARE YOU
GUHTY2

One of the worst features OF many
towns, is the carelessness of the peo-
ple in throwing away bits Of paper
and refuse in the streets. Some peo-
ple seem to think it is smart to tear
up a paper bag into small bits and
throw it out in the street as they
pass. Thereby they help make their
home town look like a pigpen. Some
one has to go around and pick up
that stuff, unless the slovenly dirt is
to disgrace the place.
It seems strange that people who
are personally clean, and bright
enough in their work otherwise, will
do a thing that not merely shows
lack of public spirit, but certain
stupidity. Anyone would think that
a person who has average intell1-
gence would be as careful to keep his
home town clean, as he is to wash
his face.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, NOV. Is, 1929

WITH THE CLOSING season OF
1929 the Delaware Farmer" new
publication has made its appear
ance, and its editor has faith to be-
Iieve that the Delmarva Peninsula
will be the scene of its growth and
development into a paper, devoted
especially to the interests Of all who
have to do with the agricultural per-
suits of this fruitful section of the
eastern states.
The first copy came to the Chron-
icle last week, and from the general
character of its arrangement, it
promises to furnish a source for in
formation as to poultry, fruit and
productions of the fields of Delaware
and the peninsula.
It's home office is at Dover, Della
ware, and one of its lines of close
touch with leading agriculturists, is
to be through the Grange and grang-
ers generally. The paper came from
the press of the Rue Publishing
Company at Denton, Maryland, but
it is to have its own plant for the
future at Dover, Delaware.
There is a field for an agricultural
paper that will stand for the well
fare of the Delmarva agriculturists,
not only in an educational way, but
advocate such interests as touch the
farmers in transportation, growing
and packing, enforcing regulation of
standard package laws and standard
grading.
1t means hard work and good bust
ness management to make the Della
ware Farmer a necessity in the
homes of all agriculturists.
Forty-five years ago William P.
Corsa had a dream of a publication
of this kind, but that time was too
far in advance of the methods OF
business as well as successful man
agement of fruit, truck, poultry and
vegetable farming, and Mr.. Corsa's
plans were only dreams. We well
come the Delaware Farmer to its
virgin field and hope that it will be
successful, as by that only can the
agriculturists be benefited.
The editor comes from the State
Of Ohio, but his ancestors originally
went to that state from Delaware.
Welcome R. B. Thompson, and may
your efforts have crown of success.
A NOTED PREACHER recently
remarked, regarding his college
classmates, that all of them who in
student life had shown the quality
of enthusiasm, had done well in the
world.
This quality of enthusiasm is
wonderful thing. 1t gives man
energy, so that he gets lot of things
done, for his employer and himself.
It keeps him mentally wide awake,
so that he knows what is going on
and does things intelligently. And
similarly a city or town where this
quality is manifest among the peo-
pie, is bound to make progress. You
can't keep a town back, if its people
are enthusiastic about its future, and
thus willing to work earnestly and
for it.

AUTOMOTIVE LAW VIOLATORS

A study was made in Detroit some
months ago, of all traffic law viola
tors found guilty of such offenses as
over-speeding and drunken driving,
or who were responsible for acct
dents. OF 1877 of these violators, IL
were feeble minded, AZ were of in
ferior intelligence, one was insane,
one suffered from epilepsy, seven
had defects of hearing, IA had de-
fective vision, and 46 suffered from
chronic alcoholism.
Different states vary in the re-
strictions they impose on applicants
for automobile licenses. Some let
almost anyone get license, while
some have quite strict examinations.
Yet the most careful kind of exami-
nation is not sure to reveal serious
defects in a PERSONS capacity for
driving.
A person of distinctly inferior in
telligence might be able to pass a
very good examination as a driver.
The fact that he drove well while
he was being tested and while he was
on his good behavior, does not al
ways prove that he would show
sense as a usual thing.
Even feeble minded persons will
often appear quite well for brief
period, and many of them can do
some things quite skilfully, and
might be able to pass a fairly good
test as automobile drivers.
The lesson of such an inquiry
would appear to be that when peo-
pie become involved in accidents, it
is up to them to prove that they were
not to blame, and that they have the
judgment and intelligence and ply
steal capacity to drive, before they
are given the right to operate a car
again. Many of them would put up
pitiful complaints if deprived of the
right to operate cars, but we should
think not merely of the inconvevn-
Ience that they suffer, but of the
troubles of the people who get run
over or run into.

CALENDAR REFORM

Proposals for calendar reform
failed to get the two-thirds vote
necessary for their adoption, in the
referendum conducted among bust
ness organizations by the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce. The pro-
posals, however, received a majority
vote.
Assuming that this majority would
favor the proposal which has been
pushed actively for a year or two, in
favor of dividing the calendar year
into 10 months of four weeks each,
it at least indicates willingness
among the business men to change
old established habits. Whether the
ordinary run of people would yield
as cheerfully is doubtful. 1t would
upset the dates of our public holidays
and personal observances, in way
that would bother a lot of folks.

Here's an idea for a simple, mex
pensive, and wholesome decoration
for child's party cake. Use any
preferred cake recipe, and cover the
cake with white icing. Have ready
some trimmings made from gum
drops-pink, yellow, and green ones.
The gum-drops can be sliced thin
with a sharp knife, and then cut
with scissors into petal and leaf
shapes to form wild roses and leaves
and stems. A child's name or mi
tials or Happy Birthday" could be
made with bits of gum-drops.

THE WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS

Prominent among the forces that
push a tow nahead, are the women's
organizations. Women's clubs have
been one of the principal influences
working for progress.
The lectures, presented by such
clubs on the topics of the day, make
the members of these clubs intelli-
gent on modern progressive issues.
They are ready to accept new ideas,
if they have been informed that these.
ideas have been tried out in many
places and found to be sound. A
town where there are good live wom-
ems clubs is one where there will
be a receptive sentiment toward adj
vance movement, and the people who
push such movements find substan-
tial backing in such communities.
