The soil fertility and crop expert
mental plots, the orchard fertility
plots, the dairy and swine herds

ments in feeding and management
of poultry now under way. The
visitors will picnic on the Manor

fee will be furnished by the Uni

throughout the day, where visitors
can discuss their individual farm
ing problems with members of the
staff. Particular attention will be
given to problems involving dis
eases and insects affecting plants.
Anyone bringing in soil samples
may have them tested upon the
spot for lime requirement.

NATION SPEND $50 PER AUTO
Road Construction Expected to
Offset Decline in Business

The nation will spend for high
way construction this year an es-
timated average of nearly $50 for
every motor car registered. Push
ed ahead to offset business depres-
sion, road building was estimated
by one of President Hoover's fact
finding committees to be on its
way to a record expenditure of
81, ESQ, 100000. This figure, equal
to the estimated losses suffered by
all neutrals during the World War,
marks an increase of more than
$3.50, 100000 over the 1929 outlay.
1t was arrived at in a survey be-
gun last July, by the committee on
recent economic changes of the
Presidents conference of unem-
ployment, in appraising public
construction as a factor in busi-
ness stability. Including expendi-
lures for roads and bridges con-
structed by Federal State, munich
pal and local governments, it was
estimated that highway construc-
tion is likely to show the largest
increase among the many projects
pushed forward to halt depression,
when final records for the year are
available.

GOVERNOR GRANTS 4 WEEK
REPR|EVE TO THEODORE RUSS
ASSAHANT OF MRS. MARY
REED, GIVEN TO AUGUST 22
Extension is Granted to Exclude
Doubt and to Give Time for
Evidence-Gallows Was Ready

Theodore Russ, negro, convicted
of criminal assault on Mrs. Mary
Reed, a white woman of near
Wodside, and who was to have
been hanged at the New Castle
County Workhouse Friday morn
ing shortly after 10 o'clock, was
late Thursday afternoon granted a
four weeks reprieve by Governor
Q. Douglass Buck. The reprieve
is until August %. Russ was in
formed of the decision of the Gov
ernor as soon as the Governor sent
official news of the reprieve to
Warden Elmer J. Leach at the
Workhouse. 81 am thankful to
the Governor. said Russ. " hope
that in that time I will be able to
prove that 1 am innocent" The
negro smiled when told the news
and for the first time since he was
taken to the Workhouse to await
execution, appeared to show gen.
uine interest in his position. AS
soon as word was received at the
Workhouse, Warden Leach started
his office force writing notices to
the witnesses summoned to the ex-
ecution, telling them that it had
been postponed and that they
would not be needed. Under the
law it was necessary for the War
den to send notice to each mem
Der of the jury and that there
might be no mistake about the no
tices being received in time, en-
ployes of the prison were sent to
personally deliver the notices. The
gallows upon which Russ was to
have ben executed had been erect
ed in the small back yard of the
power plant of the Workhouse and
everything was in readiness. On
receipt of the communication from
the Governor, Warden Leach had
the gallows torn down. In his
statement, the Governor was brief
and said: BASED upon reliable in
formation given me to-day where
in it is believed that evidence can
be found to absolve Theodore Russ
from the crime on which he stands
convicted, am granting the pris-
oner four weeks reprieve in or
der that no doubt can be attached
to the justice of extreme penalty
the state exacts in such a case.
The reprieve will be until August

BOY 16, BROWNS AT MILFORD
Amos Bradley's Body Recovered
From BIair's Mill Pond

Though a number of bathers
were in sight, Amos Bradley, 16-
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil
Bradley, living on a farm between
Pennington and Williamsburg
was drowned in Blair's millpond,
four miles southwest of Milford,
Thursday afternoon.
Bradley, with Thomas Butler,
about his own age, had gone to
the mill-pond to swim and were in
a boat near the centre. Bradley
dived from the boat a number of
times into about seven feet of wat
er. Finally he dived and did not
come up. Butler attempted to To-
cate him but was unable to do so.
Seeing a number of people bathing
at the edge of the pond, Butler
sought aid but the bathers were
unable to swim and We're afraid to
go to search for the missing boy.
Butler then summoned Ascar Blair
the owner of the place. Blair
started on a run to the pond and
on the way called George Brown,
a negro, to aid him. Brown To-
Gated the body and managed to
get it into the boat. It was taken
ashore and efforts made to revive
the lad. DR.. o. V. James, of Mil
ford, was also summoned but the
boy was dead when ne arrived.
The body of the boy was taken to
the home of his parents.

Although the officials of Sta
tions WILM and WDEL, the two
Wilmington radio stations, state
they have received no official no.
tice that the programs of the sta
tions are to be examined by the
Federal Radio Commission, to see
if they are of sufficient value to

ance of the two stations, they
stated that such an investigation
is understood to be now underway
An announcement has been receiv-
ed from Washington stating that
the Federal Radio Commission
would start such a survey in the
near future. This is a part of a
nationwide survey and it has been
brought about because of the great
demand for wave length channels
for new stations. Hundreds of ap-
plications have been reviewed by
the commission for channels in
which to start new stations, and

The check-up will be conducted by

the public in an efficient manner,
it is stated, will be discontinued on
the recommendation of the inspec-
tors and the wave length made
available to some applicant that
can guarantee service and amuse-
ment to the public. w. D. Ter

PLAN AIRPORT AT NEWARK
Negotiates With Air Transport
Line for Modern Landing

). Z. Dameron, owner of what
was formerly the Huber farm just
east of Newark, has announced
that he proposes to establish an
airport on the property and work
on the proposed landingfeld will
be started shortly. Mr.. Cameron
admits that one of the largest
American air transport lines is
negotiating with him to make his
proposed airport one of the regu-
lar landing places both for pas
sengers and mail on a proposed
Canada-Cuba air route. The field
where the landing place would be
established was used for number
of years by Herman R. Tyson, not
ed horse trainer and driver, to
work out his string of horses.
There is a mile track on the
property but this would probably
bed one away with in the interests
of the airport. This property is
ideally located for such a purpose
as Mr.. Cameron proposes and
practically extends from the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to the main line of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. It is but about
twelve miles from Wilmington.
The property would require very
little grading. It offers an unob-
structed runway of $500 feet from
north to south and 1000 feet from
east to west. Mr.. Dameron plans
to have the field ready for use by
next Spring and the government
will be petitioned to provide
beacon and flood lights there. The
field has ben used a number of
times during the past few years by
commercial fliers as landing
field. AS soon as they are needed
it is proposed to build hangers on
the field and it is hoped to have
both railroads build sidings to the
field 1t is rumored that the plan
of the air transport line is to use
the field as a halfway stopping
place between Canada and Cuba.
Passengers would be carried from
Canada to Newark or from Cuba
to Newark during the day and
then take sleepers on one or the
other of the railroads to continue
their journey during the night and
if necessary again take to the air
-
next day to conclude the trip. Bus
mess men of Newark are greatly
interested in the project and think
it will eventually mean that New
ark will be one of the big airports
of the east.
