LEVINE VISITS NEW CASTLE
Charles A. Levine, Who Crossed
Ocean With Chamberlin, There

Ostensibly for the purpose of in
specting the Bellanca flying field
near New Castle, Charles A. Lee
vine and three friends flew to Del
aware from New York, Sunday af-
ternoon, arriving about $50 o'clock
An amphibion monoplane, of Triad
manufacture, with B. w. Leyson at
the controls, was used to bring Mr.
Levine and his party. On the re-
turn to New York the amphibion
made forced landing in the Della
ware river off Chester because of
oil pressure. The plane was not
damaged and none of the occu-
pants were hurt. Levine, who OBJ
tanned worldwide notice as the
first passenger to cross the Allan
tic ocean in plane, told attend
ants at the field that he was hav-
ing a plane with a 600G mile cruis-
ing radius built at the Bellanca
factory in New Castle for an at
tempt to break the sustained flight
record. Clarence Chamberlin pi-
loted Levine upon his first Atlantic
fight. G.. M. Bellanca, president
of the Bellanca Company, and de-
signer of the Columbia, Belianca
in which Chamberlin
and Levine crossed the Atlantic to
Germany, breaking the record for
flight, would neither
deny or verify the statement that
he is building special plane for
Levine. In addition to Leyson, the
pilot, Mr.. Levine had several pas
sengers.

KENT WHEAT SMUT CONTROL
AGAIN URGED BY RE. WILSON
FEDERAL AGENT FOR KENT
is SAVING FARMERS MONEY
Project Started Four Years Ago in
Having Beneficial Effect - Seed
Wheat Treatment Outlined


With the wheat harvest well end
ed in Kent County, the attention of
farmers for the treatment of their
seed wheat has again become a
paramount issue. OF the various
projects that have been included in
the program of work of Kent
County Agent Russell E. Wilson
during the past four years, none
has shown more rapid advance
with a wider spread of influence
than the wheat smut control cam
paign which was launched in the
fall of 1925 in cooperation with DR..
j F. Adams, Plant Pathologist of
the University of Delaware and
the State Board of Agriculture,
who has been directing this work
on a statewide basis. One of the
chief lines of work in connection
with this campaign each year has
been the conducting of seed wheat
treatment meetings for the pur-
pose of demonstrating to the grow
erS the most practical and effective
method of controlling this stinging
smut. This disease has caused a
loss amounting to thousands of
dollars to the wheat crop in Della
ware, and proportionate damage
to this crop in other wheat produc-
ing sections throughout the United
States, so those farmers who are
not treating their wheat are re-
ceiving their portion of this loss.
In accordance with the program
as has been followed in previous
years, the use of the dust disinfec-
tants is being advocated again this
season, and the attention of the
to the advisability OF treating their
seed wheat early so as to have it
ready when the seeding period ar
rives this fall. In addition to con-
trolling the smut, another point to
be considered in busting seed
wheat is that the WeeVilS do not
get into the treated grain, which is
an important factor with seed that
is to, be stored for any length of
time. These dust disinfectants
should be used at the rate of two
ounces to each bushel of wheat and
the seed should be treated in re-
volving barrels or drums in order
that these materials will become
thoroughly mixed with the grain
to insure a satisfactory control of
the smut. Those farmers who are
not equipped to treat their own
wheat may have this work done at
a nominal cost per bushel by pow
er machines which are now being
operated by some of the wheat
dealers and mill operators in diff
ferent parts of the state. The use
of these dust materials saves con-
siderable time and labor as COM
pared with the formaldehyde dip
ping or sprinkling methods, al
though this liquid treatment is eff
fective and satisfactory if it is
handled with due precaution to
prevent injury to the seed. That
this smut control campaign has
been successful is shown by the
fact that approximately $4,000
bushels of seed wheat were treated
in Kent county last year, as COM
pared to only 1900 bushels in 1925
when this work was started in this
state. 1t is also of interest to note
that the amount of seed wheat that
was treated last fall was sufficient
to plant over $4,000 acres, or about
so percent of the total wheat acre
age in the county.

II. wish you we'll to wear them" says
the inspector general.
THANK you, Costescu," replies the
King.
Noticing that one of the trouser cuffs
is diSarranged, the inspector general
stoops down to put 1t in place.
Now your majesty Is quite big" he
says, admiringly.
The King, greatly nattered. smiles his
satisfaction, showing a dimple in each
cheek. He is obviously filled with pride
as he leans forward and fingers the
creaSes. Then, pointing toward the
inspectors trousers, he says:
Those are the sort I would like"

being the sole host, even though 1t is
only at q breakfast table al fresco.
Suddenly Michael becomes aware OF a
portly and dignified figure stalking up
and down the terrace, watch ostenta-
tiously in hand-the very image of a
bearded and frock-coated Old World
professor. At first the King deliberately
looks away; then, his conscience ap-
parently bothering him, he gets up, a
rebellious frown clouding his face for a
moment.

smiles little wistfully and walks very
slowly toward his waiting tutor
His callers couldn't help thinking
that here was no ordinary little boy
who need learn 'readin', 'ritin' and
'rithmetic," but one whose Job in life
required him to master half dozen
languages, the history of all nations,
the geography Of all the world, and
the craftsmanship of all time, besides
such other necessary subjects as litera-
ture, the arts and philosophy. Learn
ing to be king must be hard work.
And poor Mihai, apparently cares
about as much for schooling as any
boy did at mis- age!
From one of the upper windows APP
pears a golden blonde head. A sweet,
motherly voice calls, "Mihai Mihai!"
1t is the Kings mother, Princess
Helen. He answers quickly. assuring
her that he is coming Immediately. He
is asked last hurried question:
Does your majesty ever intend to go
to America"
MY grandmother's told me a lot
about it, he answers in good English,
and I would like to see again all the
Boy Scouts who visited here this Sum-
mer. Maybe. some day, I will go to
America. Everybody goes!" lie sa-
luted and disappeared into the palace
