excessive speculation.
Criticize Banking Methods.
Perhaps the most significant COM
ment heard Is in reference to the bank
ing operations undertaken by. large cor
porations which have placed huge sums
of money on call in New York and rem
dered the situation there beyond the
control of normal banking machinery.
The view is expressed that the use of
stockholders money to bring about an
artificial situation In Wall Street can
only bring ultimately some investigation
Of the reason for these undivided sur
pluses, and, while the public appeal and
moral suasion mode of influencing the
various factors in the money situation is
not any too popular, 1t is argued that
some OF the direct pressure used by the
Federal Reserve on banks in endeavor-
ing to make them reduce their loans in
the speculative world might well have
been applied to the big corporations
Some of them have publicly announced
that they were not lending their money
on call, but many others have remained
significantly silent.
point of criticism is the bewilderment
that recent policies of the board have
created something that leads every now
and then to the intimation that there
is evidently little recognition in WASH
ington of the practical banking prob
lens, and that there is either a lack of
leadership or a failure to assert it on
the part of those who are responsible
for the functioning of the Federal
Reserve mechanism.

its Democratic governor, Franklin
Roosevelt. These steps have the effect
of relieving farmers from some local
taxes. As such, the New York enact
ments are a model and inspiration for
other state governments. The New
York enactments can be summarized as
follows:
The amount which farmers must con-
tribute to support one-room schools Is
reduced to q final tax of 81 on each
81 900 of farm valuation. All the re-
mainder of the cost of all one-room
schools is borne by the State out of gen.
eral taxation. IL is estimated that this
will cut farm taxes for school purposes
in half
The whole cost of building State roads
is now taken over by the State. For
merely IS per cent of the cost was borne
by the counties. in which the taxation
was borne mainly by farms.
The contribution of counties, which
mainly are rural. to the cost of removing
grade crossings is reduced to per cent
the balance being paid by the state and
the railroads jointly.
Tractor Fuel Is Exempt.
Gasoline consumed by farm tractors
not using the roads is exempted from
the gasoline tax.
Agricultural cooperative associations
are exempted from franchise taxes.
The direct State tax on real estate
including city real estate as well as
farms, is abolished.
The cost for retesting herds is taken
from the individual dairyman and will
be borne wholly by the State.
All these New York steps are in the
direction of relieving farms OF taxation
1t is in this direction, and through ac-
ton by State governments, that the re-
naming needed steps toward farm relief
can be taken.

voted work by many men since January
Is, 1921, when the FIRST farm relief bill
was introduced. The bill in its present
form reflects the survival of the best aft
er the acid test Of years OF acute contro-
versy. There Is literally no criticism of
this bill by farm leaders. All the con-
troversy associated with it has been
about adding an extraneous debenture
adjunct to it.
One clear principle runs through the
bill. The Government provides $780,
600 900. But the Government does not
engage directly in any function. The
money Is to be loaned, not given. Re-
peAtedly in the law. the institutions to
be set up are carefully described as to
be "farmer-owned and farmer-con-
trolled."
U. s. Provides Leadership.
At the same time 1t is not meant
that the Government shall merely sit
back and loan the money. That Is far
from the spirit of the institution. The
Government will provide leadership
initiative, expert Judgment and seasoned
business experience. These qualities
will appear in the personnel chosen by
President Hoover, and in the steady
stimulus of his own vitality. his eco
nomic understanding ard his business
experience.
Possibly 1t should be added, to quote
Mr.. Kincheloe's saving phrase, THE law
will not rehabilitate agriculture over
night" It will take time to set up the
immense and intricate cooperative
associations, sterilization corporations,
clearing houses warehouses and mar
ket machinery. Also. there are some
things that neither this bill nor any
Federal bill can do. The net result OF 1t
is that this plan reflects the maximum
and the best that can be done directly
for farming by the Federal Government.
1t remains to be said, and 1t is i'm
portant to say. that in another way
almost as much can now be done by the
various State governments. Indeed, the
aid that can be given to farmers by
State governments is more direct than
the aid that can be given them by the
Federal Government.
New York Precedent Cited.
Next to the enactment of the farm
relief bill at Washington. the most i'm
portant event in the field of help for
agriculture consists of steps taken by

North OF RehObOth Beach Project Is
To Become Residential Park

"Henlopen Acres" new develop
ment north of Rehoboth Beach, in
cluding about 200 acres, which was
recently purchased by w. S. Corkran,
architect and engineer developer, of
Milburn, N. j., through Daniel G. An
derson, real estate agent of Reho-
both, will be sub-divided into plots
of one or more acres for resale I'M
der careful restrictions as q resi-

Winding roads and bride paths,
yacht anchorage basins and play
grounds will be provided. Houses
will be located in the pine and oak
groves and green fields in a manner
not hitherto attained at any beach
resort south of New England's
shores.
The buildings in general will con-
form architecturally to the low ram
bling farm house types of Colonial
America, with wide porches and all
outbuildings attached either direct
ly or by covered passages.
Mr.. Corkran, the purchaser of the
land, was born on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and spent his early life
in Delaware and Maryland. He was
graduated from the University of

Lawrence Melvin OF Near FELTON, Is
Also Fined 5000

Determined that the motor vehicle

possible with the law, Magistrate H.
Ridgely Harrington of Dover has
again imposed a fine and imprison-
ment on an offender charged with
colliding with another automobile
and leaving the scene of the accident
without reporting same to the au-
thorities.

last week and Immediately after the
accident left the place without re-
porting to the State Highway Police
or others as to the nature of the ac-
cident, or even making his identity
known.

notified of the affair and officer Sud-
ler King was detailed on the case,

SAYS BIRTH REPORTS
LAG In DELAWARE
State May Be Dropped In National
Registration

There is danger of Delaware be-
ing dropped by the United States
Health Department in the national
registration of births, unless there
is an improvement in the present al
legged lax registration of births in
this State, according to DR.. Arthur
C. Jost, executive secretary of the
State Board of Health.
DR.. Jost has information that leads
him to believe that Delaware may
not measure up to the number of
actual births reported and may be
dropped out of the Federal govern
ment list.
The government regulation requir-
es that at least 80 per cent of the
births be recorded, and DR.. Jost says
that less than that number is being
reported.
He pointed out the necessity for
having every birth recorded. If a
person wanted any kind of a certifi-
cate that needed proof of birth, and
there was none, the position would
be most embarrassing, perhaps cost
ly. Passports require birth place and
insurance requires proof of birth
place and date.
The State has until 1880 to bring
its birth statistics up to date.

Group Heard Well Known Speakers
Discuss Grape Culture

Much valuable information was Sc
cured last Wednesday by group of
about so grape growers who visited
a number of the vineyards Of Kent
county. The program included sew
eral addresses.
The speakers were: Dean G. A.
McCue, of the Experiment Station at
the University of Delaware; DR.. H.
L. Dozier, entomologist, and DR.. T.
F. Mann, pathologist. The addresses
were all on the care of vineyards,
the grape business of this and other
sections and how to protect the vines
from insects and disease.
The tour was in charge of Russell
e. Wilson, Kent county agricultural
agent, and twelve vineyards were
visited and also the experimental
vineyard near Camden where exper-
iments were made in fighting vari-
GUS insects and diseases which are
likely to ravage vineyards.
Luncheon was served by the wo-
men of the Capital Grange and was
served in Grange Hall. The entire
day was spent in making the inspec-
tions and the places visited were:
Vineyard of John Davis, near FELTON,;
Todd, near Viola; R. F.

WHEAT CROP ATTACKED
BY WEEVIL In KENT
County Agent Wilson Gives Formula
For Attacking Pest

with weevil, according to the in
uuiries which are being received at
the Office of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson concerning control meas
ures, and those farmers who are ex-
periencing trouble with this pest
should treat their wheat at once be-
fore it becomes so badly damaged as
to render it of no value for seeding
purposes or as a marketable crop.
The recommended treatment for
weevil is carbon bisulphide which is
used at the rate of one pint for each
two hundred cubic feet Of bin space,
or about twenty bushels of wheat.
This material is a colorless liquid
with a very strong and disagreeable
odor and, at ordinary temperature, it
vaporizes readily thereby converting
itself into a gas which is much
heavier than air. These fumes are
deadly poisonous to ali forms of in
sect life, but they are not considered
harmful to people unless used in ex-
cessive quantities in a closed room
or building. In using this material,
however, it is advisable to keep it
away from fire, as it is highly in
fammable and will readily ignite
when exposed to an open flame.
Carbon bisulphide may be applied
