SUSSEX FARMERS ARE
TREATING SEED WHEAT
Continued from Page u

1000 bushels of wheat were home
treated. This would give total of
14,500 bushels that were treated for
smut. Farmers grow, on the aver
age, about 10000 acres per year in
Sussex. A study of these figures.
and considering the amount of
wheat needed to SOW an acre, will
show that there is still room for i'm
provement.
Smut causes a great loss to our
farmers and by means of spending a
few cents per bushel for treatment
it can be greatly reduced. 1t costs
but a few cents per acre TO treat
wheat so it would seem that The far
mers should be on the safe side and
plan to do it next year.
In checking various fields of
wheat throughout the county, the
County Agent found that the treated
fields showed an infection of only
2.3% whereas the untreated fields
showed an infection varying from
10.4b to 21.5%

that the disease recurred in cycles.
Hunters, market men and all food
handlers are warned by DR.. Arthur
G. Jost, executive secretary of the
Delaware State Board of Health, to
beware of contracting tularemia or
rabbit fever. The disease appears to
be all around Delaware.
Tularemia may be detected by
examining the liver and spleen,
when the animal is a sick one, these
organs will have whitish and yellow
spots, ranging from a pin point to a
sixteenth of an inch.
Keep bare hands away from wild
rabbits, DR.. Jost urges, because one
per cent of wild rabbits are infect
ed. When the cleaning of wild rab-
bit is attempted, rubber gloves
should be worn.

FERTHIZE THE LAWNS

Most lawns need an occasional an
pllcation of some good fertilizer
thoroughly rotted stable manure ie
excellent, provided it is NOT too
coarse. Manure well comnosted
with sod and leaf mold and siffed
oetore using, makes a verv good
dressing. Soil from mushroom cell
lars that has been well fined and
sltted also is good. If only coarse
manure or humus dressings are
available they should not be applied
until winter and should be raked off
before spring begins. Compost dres-
sings should be put on in fall or
winter and again in spring. Best re-
suits are secured when the fertiliz-
ers are in such condition that moth
ing will be left to rake off. One of
the best commercial fertilizers for
lawns is bone meal. It is safe to
apply and gives fairly quick results.
From 10 to Is pounds to 1000 50.
#. should be applied in late winter
or early spring.

PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT AND PRIVATE
 DISTRIBUTION.

The argument in favor of State development of water power is that it enables the developers to make in operation part and the full force of the water power available for use while private developers prone to develop only so much power as they might sell at profit at the moment. To illustrate the Elwha River in the State of Wash ngton has been developed three times It has been done through private enterprise If the State had developed the water power of that river there would probably have been but single project All of the power of the river would have been available in the beginning
 The situation might be illustrated by reciting the experience of those who developed irrigation in the Yakima Valley. Private corporations built the dams and dug the ditches that brought into cultivation the lower levels of the agricultural lands. These companies stood their rights and opposed the efforts of those who wanted to build higher level dtches Finally the State induced to take over the whole matter. It constructed irriga- tion system that furnished water to the greatest possible amount of acreage in the valley

THE SHORT CROP.

The Department of Agriculture says the quan-
 ty drop of the 1929 crop from the ten-year average will be six per cent. That ought to make It easy to stage price increase, and that would enable the farmers to shunt the cost off onto the con- sumers as costs are usually shunted And it must be admitted that is where they belong Agriculture as well as all other industries have right to profitable operation, and there cannot be profit able operation unless consumers pay costs plus profits for products.
 It is to meet such situations as this that there should be organization among the farmers. In cases of crop shortage the farmers ought to be organized so they might get large share Of the increase in the price of their products that always follows the low of supply and demand, instead Of allowing middemen and spectators to get it all They need it to compensate them for the short crop This is as important to the farmers, though easier to meet as the need of organization to prevent demoralization following overproducton to force the price below producing costs.

UNLOADING THE CIRCUS By Mary Graham Bonner

Just before the circus was over. John was handed a folded piece of paper. The oldest and jolliest of the clowns had handed it to him.
 John opened it and read:
 q almost forgot that I was going to turn the time back to the early morning when this circus was ar irving. But you see, only almost forgot. I didn't completely for get
 After the show is over keep your eyes tight shut for one minute and a half. That's all you have to do. And if you have any trouble figuring out how long that should be, do not worry! I'll come for you when the minute and half is up.
 I'm having such a good time with my friends-but I didn't for get you, you see. All the circus people send their love"
 The note was signed, "Your af- fectionate friend, The Little Black Clock"
 John and Peggy did exactly what the little black clock suggested.
 Are your eyes tight shut?" John asked Peggy.
 "Yes. Are yours?"
 Yes"
 And then came a great, shrill whistle.
 "Open your eyes!" cried someone. And there, before them, stood the little black clock. "The circus train is just arriving" " the little black clock said
 Peggy and John found themselves up by the station. The orange and red cars of the circus train were pulling in. Out came the circus people. Along came the cage with the animals.
 Down they all went to the fair grounds, with Peggy and John and the little black clock as well. They watched the circus people unload and put up the tents. They talked to the clowns and to the per formers.
 It was then that Peggy asked the little black clock if she could ride in a parade.

He imagines that he is moving into a world where to be found the things he has always sought, at least some of them For week he will wander about town in happy daze, receptive rather creative, of illusions. And over all is the sense of tradition This intoxication will last for weeks and the freshmen is not entirely to be envied when it passes away. Never again, unless he does not grow up at all, but becomes professional alumnus will he be able to live for any length of time in that reverential state of mind. At intervals, how ever and at unexpected moments, he will recapture the dsquieting joy of being freshman and those occasional lapses from good will do him no harm at all
