WILD DUCK SEASON

sportSmen from the distant cities.
These ponds are visited daily dur
ing the summer and the young
ducks are fed by throwing an aver
age of one bushel of corn or wheat
per pond each day. Due to most all
pond owners feeding in this manner
the ducks fly from pond to pond and
feed.
The ducks retain their wild flavor
when cooked and also are much
larger and fatter than the wild duck
of several years ago before the feed
ing process was started.
Thousands of ducks will be killed
in this section during the open sea-
son by gunners stationed in blinds
near the ponds. Often live decoy
ducks are used that have been raised
by farmers who get the wild duck
eggs from the marshes in the early
spring, keep their wings clipped so
they cannot fly away. Well trained
water dogs are also utilized for the
purpose of going in the water and
reeds and bringing in the ducks that
are shot down.
The Chesapeake Bay water spaniel
is the favorite dog for this purpose,
and when well trained will lay in
the blind with his master until the
ducks are shot. He will go after the
ducks that are crippled, first, to make
sure none will escape, leaving the
dead ducks to be brought in later.
Most gunners use extra heavy
loaded gun shells and as rule num-
ber six steel shot so as to penetrate
the heavy feathers of the duck.
The black mallard duck seems to
be the most plentiful this season,
while the blue teel duck is the most
sought for by gunners due to it be-
ing more tender and mostly free
from the fishy flavor that character
ICES most wild ducks.

NEW TOMATO ON
SHORE SATISFACTORY
[Cohtinued from First Paael

The Break O. Day tomato is said
to be ten to twelve days earlier than
Marglobe and yet produces heavy
crops of fruit approximately the
same size, shape and solidity as
those of the Marglobe. It produces
small leaves, early open spreading
type of foliage, but the fruits, al
though more or less exposed, are sell
dom affected by sun scald, moreover
they are especially free from cracks.
Reports from the Wicomico County
farmers who have tried this tomato
are very satisfactory and it has evil
IDENTIFY lived up to it's reputation.
Calls for seed have already been re-
ceived from farmers who will grow
it next year, one farmer ordering
two pounds of the seed which is
selling at twenty-five dollars a

The purpose of the meeting is to
promote the growing spirit of friend
illness and cooperation between the
various communities and to provide
an occasion for fun making so neces-
sary in this period of depression oc-
casioned by the extreme drought.
Our agricultural interests and de-
pendent industry have suffered to
some extent, it is true, but compared
to other sections of the nation, where
the circumstances occasioned by the
extreme dry season has been moth
ing short of appalling and we in
comparison have much to be thank
full for.
With these thoughts in mind this
field day was planned so that we may
if for only a short while lift our
minds from our every day problems
and drift for a time back into that
wholesome period of our lives when
responsibilities were light and few
and wholesome mirthful play held
huge place in our minds and hearts.
The committee representing these
clubs sincerely and cordially invite !
you to attend the first inter-club an |
nual field day at Shaw Park in Re-
hoboth Beach at 1 p. m, October Is,
1880, to which no admission will be
charged.

HASTINGS ADDRESSES
MILFORD REPUBLICANS
[Continued from First PageJ

whom were women and who prom
ised to "wOrk their heads off from
now until election day." because of
the great moral issue involved, "
namely the stand taken by the Re-
publican party on the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Both the Senator and Congress-
man were introduced to the voters
at the Milford meeting by James M.
Stanton, a member of the State
Committee. In his introduction, Mr.
Stanton said that much depends on
sending both these men back to
Washington to support the national
administration and President Hoov-
er.
! In opening his address Senator
Hastings said, 81 will force the Dem
ocrats to say what they mean when
they write a platform, before this
campaign is over" He said he had
been called a "pussy-footer" and a
"straddler" by the opposition for his
support of the President and the
principles for which the national ad-
ministration stands.
81 have stood by President Hoover
up until this time," said the Senator,
"and if am elected l will continue
to support him.
Congressman Houston said if
President Hoover is given support
he will solve the problems that he
has before him today.
Speaking on the tariff issue, the
Georgetown Congressman, who is
seeking his fourth consecutive term,
said the blame for the business de-
preston could be laid at the door of
the Western irregular Republicans
and the Democrats, because of their
blocking the passage of the tariff
bill.
Congressman Houston predicted
that Sussex county would give both
he and Senator Hastings a substan-
tial majority and that if the vote
throughout the State is gotten out,
there should be no trouble about
10000 majority. This majority, he
said, would be about the same as
given the Republican nominees in
1926, which he characterized as an
off year.
Asks Senator's Return
Colonel Theodore Townsend said
that petty likes and dislikes should
be cast aside in the interest of the
national administration because men |
of the type of Senator Hastings, who
stands four-square behind the Presi-
dent, should be returned.
He characterized the Republicans |
who are leaving the party over the |
''wet" and dry" issue, as 'only go /
ing up blind alley" and then said |
the question of States rights was
another bit of false propaganda be-
cause that question was settled with
the adjustment of slavery.
He said the prohibition question
is a great moral issue, and if the
lost the election on that
issue it would be because Of poor
Others who spoke were Republican
State Chairman J. Warren Marshall,
Who accompanied Senator Hastings
1n his two day tour; Robert A.
Jones, chairman of the Kent County
Committee; John w. Herring, form
er internal revenue collector; Nor

ence Jester and Postmaster William

and the pleasure resorts were not
safe for women and children in the
days of the licensed saloon, on hOli-
days or at night, now they go in
safety at all times.
Whereas in the preprOhibition
days one seldom went many blocks
in a city or far in the country with
out meeting drunken people, now one
can travel from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from Canada to Mexico
without seeing a drunken person or
very few if any.
Again, it is am after of common
knowledge to all that there are more
small bank depositOrs and more
money in small deposits in the banks
than ever before in the history OF
the country.
Again, there are more automobiles
travelling our roads and a smaller
per cent of accidents than ever be-
fore.
There are fewer arrests for crime
than in the preprohibitiOn days.
Take for example the city of Will
mington. In 1917 there were 1924
arrests for all kinds of law VIOLA
ton. In the same city in 1929, in
spite of the false propaganda and
the efforts of nulliticationists there
were but 1852 arrests.
Wilmington being the only large
city in the state it was expected that
there would be more crime than in
rural sections. The difference in the
two periods in arrests is much
greater in the country districts than
in the city.
In Sussex county in preprohibition
days women were afraid to go to the
watering places alone especially on
week-ends and holidays. Now they
go any time.
In preprohibition days there was
a Keely Cure for drunkards in al
most every state in the Union. Now
one Keely Cure hospital takes care
of all cases in this country with a
much increased population.
The 18th amendment to the Con-
stitution and the Volstead law have
been properly called the greatest
piece of beneficial legislation ever
The propaganda sent out by the
association against prohibition does
not state the truth. The moral con-
ditions are not bad as they have de-
clared but so much better that it is
about to destroy their hopes of get
ting their saloons back again and so
they are spending hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to misinfOrm and
whip the public into line with them.
The first eight months of this year
hey have spent $5S3,790 against $1O,-
300 spent by the Anti-Saloon League
in defense of the Constitution OF the
United States.
They are not seeking to better
conditions which are now the best
hey have ever been, but to add to
heir millions by bringing back the
saloon and saving the corporation
axes. They expect the tax on beer
o more than pay their taxes. The
DOOR mans boy-yOurs and mine
ire expected to buy the beer and pay
he tax out of their debauchery.
They offer you nothing in the
,lace of the 18th amendment in de-
ense of your boys and girls. Are
.ou willing they should pay the rich
mans taxes?
