SEED CORN TREATMENT
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Increased Yields Noted Where Prop
er Methods Were Followed

During the past four years dem
onstrations have been conducted in
Kent county to show the economic
value of treating seed corn with
dust materials for the control of the
root rot and other diseases that are
carried on the seed, in addition to
demonstrating that the termination
of the seed may be stimulated great
ly, and the yield per acre increased
with more solid condition of the
corn at harvest time.
This project has been carried on
under the direction of County Agent
Russell E. Wilson who has received
the cooperation of DR.. J. F. Adams,
Plant Pathologist of the State Board
of Agriculture and the University of
Delaware, in planning the work and
in securing the results at the end of
each year.
No yield records were secured
from the demonstrations in 1926,
but in checking the yields on four
farms in 1927 it was found that the
seed which was treated produced on
the average 3.5 more bushels of corn
per acre than the remainder of these
fields which had been planted with
untreated seed. The acre yield le-
suits in 1928 from the nine farms
on which this project was conducted

MIDDLE AGED MAN HELD
VALUABLE TO INDUSTRY
Secretary Of LabOr's Report Dis
proves Former Theory

The value of the middle-aged man
in the nations industrial fabric was
extolled by Secretary Davis, of the
Labor Department this week. Ad-
vancement had been made, he said,
in disproving the false philosophy
that men are through when they
reach the age of 40 or so.
"On the other hand" he declared,
in his annual report to Congress,
more and more it is becoming the
experience of our most enlightened
employers that men of the age of
40 or so years or over are often
better qualified by experience, abil-
ity and settled habits to render more
valuable service than those of a
younger age"
The age question was said by the
secretary to be one of the grave
economic problems that deserved
the nations particular consideration
and during the coming years he ex-
pected to see "a great lessening in
the practice of retiring from en-
ployment the workers of middle or
advanced age"
at has been adequately proved" J"
he said, "that efficiency is not serv-
ed by the enforced retirement of our
middle aged artisans in industry;
nor is humanity made happier by
the bringing about Of sudden work
or adjustments which these dis
placed men are frequently called
upon to meet"

DEATH RATE
IN STATE INCREASES
Increase OF 30 Fatalities In 1929
Over 1928, 1t Is Shown

The death rate in Delaware re-
sulting from automobile accidents
has been on a steady increase for
the past few years. In 1928, there
were rs deaths from accidents, an
increase of 20 deaths over the total
number for 1924. In the past five
years, there is only one year which
shows a decrease over that of the
previous year. In 1925 there were
81 deaths, as compared with the 46
for 1924, but from that time on, the
rate is larger each year than for the
corresponding time of the preceding
months.
In 1926, there were so deaths,
with an icrease of 13 over 1925. An
increase of IL was shown in 1927.
and in 1928, there were 13 more
than 1927, making total of rs. The
average increase each year is 1875.
The same condition which exists
in the State is found in Wilmington.
For the year 1928, there were 40
deaths, and five years ago, for the
corresponding time, there were only
20. The number for 1925, which was
much better everywhere in the
State was 21. The total again reach
ed 20 in 1926, and showed II more
mortalities for 1927.
A decrease on one death in the
total of mortalities occurring out
side of the State in which Whining
ton residents were killed was shown
by the records of 1928 over those of
1927. There were % in 1927, and 21
in 1923.

URGES PROTECTION
FOR HOLLY TREES
W. S. Taber, State Forester,
Says Care Must Be Taken In
Cutting The Evergreen.

That there is grave danger of low
er Delaware residents losing the
half million dollars they receive
each Christmas time for the manu-
facture of holly wreaths, due to the
vandalism by the thoughtless of the
holly trees is the opinion of w. s..
Taber, state forester.
There is plenty of holly apparent
ly, for all future times if the trees
are not mutilated and chopped down.
In other words, Mr.. Taber points
out if the trees were trimmed and
the trunks left standing, the holly
would grow on indefinitely, but as
it is, those cutting holly for wreaths
do not go to this bother but cut
down the whole tree.
Delaware ships holly wreaths all
over the country. The belt of holly
trees is determined by the latitude
and this extends from Massachus-
etts on the Atlantic coast down to
Texas.
"The chief competitors of Della
ware" said Mr.. Taber, "are south
ern states where the holly is quite
plentiful. If Delaware wreath MAX
ers continue to chop down the trees,
it will result eventually in the sup
ply of holly being eliminated. In
southern states where the holly
trees are conserved, it will cost less
to gather the holly, and the markets
at Christmas time for holly will
purchase these wreaths from the
cheapest buyer, which may not be
Delawareans.
There are male trees and female
holly trees. The female trees are the
ones that carry berries and are
more attractive and in greater de-
mand. Wreaths made with berries
are in constant demand. Each year
the holly gatherers have to go deeper !
into the woods to obtain holly with
berries, because vandals have chop |
ped down the trees. There is a state
law against this pilfering. which .
reads as follows:
"'Section 10. Any person who |
shall wilfully, negligently or malic-
iously cut bark from, cut down, up |
root, injure, destroy or remove a
tree or trees, shrub or shrubs. or
any part or parts thereof, growing

Strive For Tax And Tariff
Changes.

Worthy Master Robert P. Robin
son, former governor, in his report
to the 55th annual session of the

strive for definite tax reform, sup
port for the Federal Farm Board in
every sound undertaking to perma-
nently assist agriculture, tariff
changes to aid the farmer, and trans
fer of the Bureau of Reclamation
from the Department of the Interior
to the Department of Agriculture.
According to Master Robinson,
every reference during the Seattle
discussion to law enforcement and
National Prohibition, was heartily
applauded and the Grange pledged
its support to all agencies seeking
these ends.
Master Robinson's report in part
follows:
ITO the officers and members of
Delaware State Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry:
CAS- we assemble today in Lewes,
a town rich in the historical as well
as political history of our State, we
do so, mindful of the many blessings
which have fallen to our lot and the
rich inheritance which has been the
share of our little State. The Ruler
of the Universe has smiled upon us
frequently and in many ways. Our
lands have yielded bOuntiful crops,
our health has been good and, al
though we have been chastened at
times, we are not unmindful of the
gratitude which we should show for
all the good things which have been
bestowed upon us.
"In holding this, the fifty-fifth an
nual session of our State Grange, we |
do so with feeling that some good |
has been accomplished not only by |
these meetings, but by the some |
thousand or more meetings which |
are held throughout the year by Sub
and Pomona Oranges. I |
regard it as high privilege to have |
been associated with and to have |
worked with an organization like |
the Grange for the past twenty-five |
years.
"The National Grange never held |
a more successful session than its |
63rd annual meeting just closed at |
Seattle, Washington. For ten days |
