TROOPS FROM OTHER
STATE WILL USE CAMP
[COntisprd from first p4ge1

Representative Van Solver ex-
planned the resolution. Asked how
much State land was to be exchang-
ed for Shorts land. That is left to
the discretion of the commission.
Senator H. NJ. Deputy thought Mr..
Short should be consulted on the
value of the land.
General Ellison also explained the
resolution. The land is needed for a
rife range directly on the coast. The
government has expended $4,000 on
the site.
The camp will be used for soldiers
from other states as well as Della
ware. Pennsylvania troops will be
there this coming summer.
The resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote.
1t is stated that the land desired
for extension of the state guard
camp and rifle range lies next to the
radio and coast guard station and is
sought not only to enlarge the rifle
range but to provide a good outlet
from the camp to the ocean.
Without this land, which Mr..
Short is said to own or have an op-
ton on, troops, to get to the ocean
for exercise and bathing, would
have to pass through swamp-like
land.

FIND UNDULANT
FEVER In STATE


states facts discovered by DR.. A. v.
Hardy of Iowa City who has given
much time and observation to dis
eases of undulant fever in that
State.
The most common symptoms is a
weakness, loss of appetite, chilli
ness, general aching, headache,
backache, joint pains, abdominal
distress and feverishness. The fever
is frequently out of all proportions
to the patients complaint. There
have been some where no fever has
been found at first but which later
have suffered with a fever up to 104
degrees.
Chilliness occurs in about two
thirds of the cases and is one of the
prominent symptoms in over one
third.
AS a rule the freedom from pain
is remarkable. Starting with gener-
al aching at first, such as is assO-
ciated with influenza, it rapidly dis
appears with rest in bed. Loss of
appetite is common but not always
present. In mental matters, victims
have a general tendency to be ap-
prehensive. A secondary bronchitis
may occur and palpitation and rapid
pulse are not uncommon.
The most distressing feature of
the disease is its prolonged course.
An attemp has been made to meas
ure its duration. The average total
duration was twelve and a half
weeks, and the shortest three
weeks, the longest being nine
months. Nearly every case of undu-
liant fever has in its early stages
been treated for malaria, or some
other disease, before the correct
has been made. All obser-
vers of undulant fever emphasize
the Importance of laboratory tests,
as a means of determining the all
ment.
Milford chronicle., 1929-03-08

and they all made good in their sew
eral places.
Mr.. Ross having a mind with a
trend to organization and executive
work, started to bring the standard
of his profession into a practical
business organization. Through
various stages and periods, he ad-
vanced with loyal support of the tel
egraphers of the country, until now
he is in very important position,
as the director and organizer of the
great financial institutions that his
organization controls.
Each year it is necessary that Mr..
Ross visit all the various divisions
and sectors of the organization in
the United States and Canada, which
requires not only much travel, but
absorbs much time, as close study
of the various interests has to be
made and report printed to submit
at the annual meetings of the incor-
poration.
Mr.. Ross is a fine specimen Of
manhood, being six feet tall and
well proportional. He is married,
has a son as a family; and brings
them to his native town once each
year to visit his aged parents.

SUPPLY OF CANNED
TOMATOES is LOW
Say There viii Be Larger Demand
For Raw Stock This Year

The 1928 tomato pack is estimated
at approximately eight and one nan
million cases says a report from the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
This makes an estimated average OF
ten and one-quarter millions OF
cases of No. 8 tomatoes packed for
the past three years, which is
three and one half million case
shortage per annum of the annual
requirement of tomatoes by con-
sumerS.
The SPOT price of No. 2 tomatoes
at this time according to reports
from the Tri-State Packers Assocl-
alton members is $1.15 per dozen as
compared to 75c at this time last
year.
Holding of last years pack are
very light and Gamers predict tnas
the pack of canned tomatoes anu
tomato products will be exhausted
by August first.
Reports from business men and
tomato growers in various sectlons
of Delaware and Maryland indicate
an unusual demand for tomatoes by
the local canneries and OUT OIL stdIe
buyers. This demand IS SAID 10 pe
increased ythe fact that plahts aC

adanted to local conditions as a
means of improving yields and quar-
itv of canned product is being advo-
Gated bv The Tfi-State Gamers AS
sociation and State Agricultural Ex-
tension workers said L. M. Coco
win of the University OF Marylanu
at tt RCanners School held recently
at College Park, Md.
Extensive preparations are being
made at Bridgeville, to grow carry
nlants in hotbeds says H. W. Pear
son of the H. C. Cannon Packing
Comnanv. Plants for 125 acres OF To-
matoes will be grown under cIoIh
covered cold frames at Cordova, No.
and the Campbell Soup Company is
making arrangements to furnlsn
Second EARLY Tomato Plants from
local hotbeds and from inspected
Southern Grown Plants.
In variety tests conducted by the
University of Maryland in dluerenC
parts of the Peninsula over per
iod of three years the Greater bal
timore has proven the hlgnest
yielding tomato, averaging 7.S tons
for all tests; the Marglobe, a close
second, with To tons yield. The
Stone and Bonny Best varieties gave
poorer yields as compared to the
other varieties, their average yields
being 81 and 6.5 tons respectively.

moval and other work are less the n
ten years old. Most of them are only
capable of maintaining a speed of
ten to fifteen miles an hour.
Much of the motor apparatus is
secondhand, having been purchased
from the Government after the war.
With the use of speedier trucks Mr..
Mack believes that all ordinary
snowstorms in Delaware could be
readily taken care of, as far as
clearing the highways is concerned
through the combination of truck
and snow fence.
Governor Buck, as former chief
engineer of the State Highway De-
partment, announced in his message
to Governor Robinson last Decem-
Der, that one of the problems the
Highway Commission has to meet,
is the construction of lateral cirt
road. Following out this announce
ment, the Highway Department at
this time, is collecting samples of
gravel wherever it is discovered
throughout the State.
These samples will be analysed to
determine the gravel's efficacy in
road building. In sections where the
natural lateral road is of clay
nature, stony gravel will be used.
Where the natural soil is more
sandy, and consequently well drain
ed, it is likely that gravel of loamy
character will be used. II

MUCH INTEREST in
HEALTHY CHICK WORK
[Csntiassd frs@ frn p49el

hands of every poultryman in the
county because everyone who raises
chicks wants to raise good percent
age of all he starts with. If he does
not, there will be great initial loss
to start with. 1t is not how many
chicks one buys, but how many one
raises that makes a profit or loss for
the poultryman. AS all of us know
Sussex County is one of the greatest
poultry counties in the u. S. Here
we are Matching and raising thous-
ands, yes millions of chicks each
year and because of the crowded
conditions, diseases will sooner or
later make their appearance. Some
of our poultrymen have diseases in
their flocks, others are more fortu-
nate and do not have it. This "Grow
Healthy Chicks" Campaign was
started to help both classes-to help
the first by suggestive changes in
management of their hocks and the
second by following preventative
measures as far as possible. 1t is
obvious that if one has good strong
healthy chicks, they will naturally
grow into strong, vigorous pullets
and cockrels and thus will be
stronger to Withstand diseases. The
kind of chicks we raise will deter
mine the kind of f1ocks we have.
If you are really interested in this,
write your County Agent.

FRUIT GROWERS TOLD

mended by the companies which
compound them, and those growers
who plan to make their own oil
emulsions are advised to follow the
formula as given in the spray sched-
ule. In using these oil sprays, it
is very essential to spray from the
ground so as to cover every scale
insect, as these scales for the most
part are found on the under side of
the branches.
AS a matter of caution, the grow
ers are warned to not use any brok-
en- down oil emulsions or miscible
oils that have settled out, as this
free oil will seriously injure the
trees. 1t is also not advisable to
spray during freezing weather, as
all spray materials gradually weak
en- after being exposed to freezing
temperature, and the original
strength of the materials becomes
too poisonous for the wood with the
result that injury occurs under such
conditions.
In regard to the conducting of this
type of orchard spray service, ev-
cry effort is being extended by the
County Agent to include every fruit
grower in the county, but If there
are any growers who are not receiv-
ing these spray notes each season,
they are requested to get in touch
with the county extension Office in
Dover and their names will be plac-
ed on the mailing list.

Any honorably discharged veteran
who served in the Army, Navy, or
Marine Corps for more than 60 days
between April 5, 1917, and July l.,
1919, providing he began his service
before the Armistice, is entitled to

FRIGIDAIRE OPENS
NEW SHOW ROOM

An electric room cooler, the latest
development of refrigeration engin-
GERS, displayed by Frigidaire Cor
poration at it's recent convention in
New York, is a significant indica-
ton of progress this industry has
made, according to Dan w. McKain,
local representative, who has re-
turned from the meeting.
Another outstanding new example
of progress in the industry exhibit
ton was a device for regulation of
freezing temperatures in the trays
of household Frigidaires, he said.
"The room cooler, designed for
home and office use, is something
for which engineers and scientists
have sought or-years," he said. ut
fulflls the threefold necessity of
summertime comfort in reducing
temperatures, lowering humidity,
and providing constant circulation
of air.
"The cold control opens an en-
tirely new realm in the culinary
art. A simple, dial-like switch pro-
viding six different freezing speeds
in the Frigidaire trays gives the
housewife the same control over the
temperatures needed in preparing
frozen delicacies as she has over
those in her oven by the use of a
heat regulator. 1t makes possible
the quick and easy preparation of a
wide variety of frozen desserts and
other dainties that never before
could be made in the home"
A new household model, selling
at the lowest price in the history of
his company, also was announced
at the convention, he said. This
meeting was one of a series of ten
which Frigidaire Corporation is
holding to reach 5000 members of
its field organization in the United
States and Canada.

A MILFORD CHORUS

The mixed chorus will have its
first rehearsal on Wednesday eve
ming, March 18th, at the Community
Building, at 8 o'clock promptly.
This chorus will be under the di-
'rection of Mrs. Anabel Grove How
ell, talented musician of excellent
reputation and experience. AS a
supervisor of music and vocal in
structor, she comes to us very high
ly recommended, and chorus
under her direction should be not
only interesting but of great value
to each member and to the commun-
ity.
Although this Milford chorus will
contain almost entirely unframed
voices, under the leadership of a
competent director it will develop
and learn to appreciate and enjoy
