LOWER MILK RATE
EFFECTIVE MONDAY
rCnrtlnned trom FirA Paqel

sion ON the question of a reduction
il was apparent that there might be
a deadlock. The retailers refused to
accent the reduction on an equal
basis with the producers. 1t was I'M
ally agreed that the producers Will
reduce the wholesale price 40 cents
per hundred weight or a little more
than three-quarters of a cent per
quart. The retailers will experience
a reduction of a little less than
quarter of a cent per qGart of milk.
The distributors claimed that they
make a profit of less than one-half
cent on a quart ander the present
schedule, and they claimed that an
equal division of such, reduction
was not fair.
A statement issued at the conclu-
sion of the conference follows:
"rhe reasons leading to this re-
duction are:
l. Sales in the cities are falling
off because of unemployment.
80. Production in the country has
not reduced in proportion to sales
III lllC WY
Attention of the public is called
to the fact that the spread between
the price to the farmer and to the
consumer in the Philadelphia terri
tory is lower than in any of the
large cities in the country. The Te-
duced price to consumers will be
from one to four cents lower than
prices now prevailing in any large
city in the United States.
In New York city milk is selling
at Is cents a quart it was stated.
The wholesale price by farmers who
own their own cooling stations is
now eight cents a quart, less freight
to Philadelphia. A small fee is re-
quired for the use of the distribu-
tors cooling station. Philadelphia
people, under normal conditions
consume milk at the rate of 67-1OO
of a pint for every man, woman and
child Of the city. During the past Is
months, according to the distribu-
tors, the consumption of milk in
Philadelphia, has fallen off 10 per
cent, although production has re-
mained nearly normal.

The agricultural high schools OF
the State will have a corn judging
contest on Friday, January IS, be-
ginning at 1890. The team that
wins this contest will receive the
Future Farmers of America Plaque.
This plaque is given by the Della

Snyder will be in charge of this con-
test. In the afternoon of the same
day the All Corn Club members
will have a judging contest. The
member receiving the highest score
will receive a All club shield do

show. They are expecting a large
number of entries and considerable
interest in the judging contests.

farmers are saying that they do not
have any corn to exhibit this year,
This is one Of the times when more
attention should be given to seed
corn and the show is one of the best
places to bring out the best Della
ware has for seed. The corn crop
of Delaware was worth nearly four
million dollars in 1929 and the
wheat crop two and quarter mil
lion. These two crops represent so
much value to the farmers that
some attention should be given to
the seed. The show offers medi-

good seed and helps locate good
seed. Bring or send your exhibit and
thus help yourself and your neigh
bor." Premium lists are now avail
able and may be obtained from your
county agent or the secretary at

was advised by the experiment sta
tion entomologist in an effort to
solve this problem. This program
included such practices as scraping
and banding of apple trees, dispos-
ing of all drop and Gull fruit which
contained the cOdling moth worms
and properly storing all baskets and
other containers which were used i'll
the orchards or packing houses dur
ing the past year. Those recommen-
dations may be regarded as guide
posts on the road to cleaner apple
crop in 1881, and the fruit growers
are being requested to follow these
supplementary control practices in
order that the codling moth infesta-
ton may be reduced to point at
which this insect can be success
fully controlled by spraying.
All of these control methods will
be discussed in detail at this meet
ing on Friday night of this week, and
it is expected that a large crowd OF
fruit growers from all sections Of the
county and state will be present to
take part in this discussion which is
one of the most important insect con-
crol problems confronting the apple
growing industry today throughout
the country.

GIVE RULES FOR GOOD
DRIVING MANNERS
[Continued from First Page]

The horn should be reserved for
safety purposes, not to signal per-
son inside of house nor to attract
the attention of people passing.
Give proper attention to head
lights. They often cause incOnven-
ience and danger to others. ,....
The expert driver must tone down
his skill by not weaving in and out
of a stream of traffic moving mod
erately.
A common Offense against road
etiquette is committed when a mo-
tor car operator places his car at
crossing so as to obstruct pedes-
trian traffic, thus compelling pedes-
trians to walk around his machine.
Drivers who wish to be consider
ate of other people will concentrate
on what they are doing, look where
they are going, not attempting to
gaze at passersby and stay in line.
The exercise of kindness to
others, consideration and true cour-
tesy will prevent any operator from
getting a wrong attitude of mind
for driving in traffic. Any operator
who loses his temper, who becomes
sulky, or is abnormal from any one
of many different causes is unfit to
drive because his automobile pro-
vides a medium of expression for
his personality. If that personality
is upset, he is bound to make trou-
Bile for himself or for others, gem
orally for both.

Onions Tend Higher

Prices of eastern onions have
tended upward this month reaching
Sl.1O per 100 lbs. in producing sec
tions for the best yellow stock. the
rise seems to have resulted from
lighter shipments from the far
West on account Of weather condl-
tions, most Of the eastern markets
reporting moderate supplies and
slow demand. Prices were inclined
to sag away a little from the high
est points with few declines OF &C.
10c from the top level but the gen
eral iobbing range in the eastern
cities remains $110-$1.4O per 100
lbs. for eastern yellow stock. Dull
market conditions and unchanged
prices prevail for western onions
Of Spanish type.
The sharp advance in eastern
cabbage markets has been fairly
we'll maintained but middle west
markets lost part of the recent
gains. Supplies continue rather
light in many eastern markets and
demand slow to fairly good. Prices
are about $500 lower compared with
the high point Of the December rise
in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Pittsburgh, but New York quot
ed a firm market despite sliSht
falling off of values in production
sections in the western part OF the
State. Part of the market setback
on cabbage seems to be the result OF
mildcr weather. Cold weather helps
demand and, with snow, tends TO
limit activities at shipping points,
thus decreasing the market supply.
Some of the larger growers are re-
ported holding back shipments IN
anticipation of higher prices. Wes-
tern New York growers have been
getting $10-$12 per ton in bulk ana
shippers received mostly $15.
Carrots appear to be somewhat
neglected by the trade this season
although large shipments in bulk
have been moving to canneTies and
soup companies who buy their sup
plies in the carrot shipping sections
of western New York. Most of the
bulk shipments are sold under con-
tract, at prices ranging from S5-$ 10
per ton. Carlot sales of carrots III
100 lbs. sacks were at 50c-65c the
second week of December. In some
quarters slightly better feeling
has materialzed with sales for Jan
uary delivery going to the dollar
mark or Il little higher.
Storage holdings of celery in
western New York, December y,
we're 261 $50 crates, or $4,000 less
than the holdings of the week pre-
yious. but these holdings are $1,000
crates more than were held at the
corresponding time last year. The
demand for celery during the rest oil
the month should be good if the
eastern trade is to depend upon
western New York for the require
ments of the year-end holidays. Not
much celery is likely to be shipped
from middle western sources owing
to the severe injury from freezing
in October. At present the trading
is not very active in producing sec
tions and prices hold about steady
with sales of carlots at $L75-$l.90, a
few lots reaching the 50 mark.

BARN AND FOOD
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire destroyed the COW harm and
stables on the John d. Ingram farm,
occupied by his son, Charles Ingram,
at Argo, in Slaughter Neck, five miles
southeast from Milford, on Monday
morning about Z O'Clock. The build
ing was about 60 feet long and two
stories and was built about three
years ago.
Mr.. Ingram had been at the barn
and fed the cattle, about 6 o'clock,
and there was no signs Of fire at that
time. Mr.. Ingram had a consider
able quantity of hay and coarse feed
in the second story, and cow feed
stored on the first floor, all of which
was a total loss. The cattle and
mules were saved. Fortunately, he
had about fourteen acres of corn fod
der out in the field, which will help
feed the cattle through the winter.
There was some insurance on the
building, but none on the feed and
stock; but not sufficient to cover the
loss. A temporary building will have
to be erected for housing the stock
at once. The loss Will approximate
81 600.

UNIQUE CHRISTMAS SERVICE
At MILFORD NJ. p. CHURCH

From time immemorial it has
been the custom at Christmas time
for friends to give gifts to each
other. This is, of course, in addl-
ton to the gifts we give each other
on our birthdays.
1t has been overlooked generally
that Christmas is Jesus birthday.
OF course we do let ourselves down
with the reference to the fact that
Jesus said, "Inasmuch as you do it
unto the least OF these, ye do it un-
to me-" and on this ground "swap"
gifts at Christmas. The real idea, if
we carry out what we do for each
ether on our birthdays would be to
present the gift to Jesus through
His church to be used for His king
dom.
This idea will be worked out in
the service Sunday.
After a brief Sunday school ser
vice the school will march to the
main auditorium seating the small
lest children in the front and the
others in order according to their
ages and the older folks of the con-
gregation in their customary places.
After the singing of the carols for
the opening the children will lead
and every person present, will be
provided with a small red bag at
tached to a card with the explana-
tion in verse, and while the organ
sounds forth the Christmas music
will march past the alter and drop
the little bag containing "a Christ
mas Gift for Jesus" in the box plac-
ed upon the alter to receive them.
After the presentations of the
gifts to Jesus the pastor will preach
the Christmas sermon.
The evening service will be pag-
cant called, 1.-The Pageant of Beth
lehem," in which the birth of Jesus
will be portrayed by local talent.
There will be singing of carols
and other special music by the
choir.
On Christmas morning from 6 to
Z o'clock another unusual service
will be held. The service will begin
in darkness broken only by the light
VI CdHul6S.
The first carol will be "Silent
Night, Holy Night" This will be
followed by other carols and "JOy
to the World the Lord is Come"
This will be followed by prayer, the
reading of the Christmas story from
the Bible; reading OF Christmas
greeting from the Christmas card
that is sent out by the church.
An invitation will be given to
those who may desire to unite with
the church. The invitation will also
be given for any who may desire
baptism.
The last invitation will be to any
who may be willing to surrender to
Jesus and BE Born Again" on His
birthday. Surely there could be no
more appropriate time for this.
This service will close with the
singing of "All Hail the Power OF
Jesus Name" to the tune of miles
Lane"
Every person is invited to all
these services.

WILD-LIFE SURVEYS HELP Of
FICIALS BRING BACK GAME

If spOrtsmen want more game,
they should take stock regularly OF
the game in their community, study
wild-life foods and cover and know
the approximate toll of predatOrs to
help federal and state game officials
speed up restoration, according to
Carlos Avery, president of the Amer
ican Game Protective Association.
"The reason why sportsmen, ma
ture lovers, farmers and game Of
ficials the country over do not al
ways know exactly how to remedy
the situation, is because the causes
of wild-life depletion and means of
remedy vary so greatly from section
to section state to state and often
times from county to county," Mr..
Avery said.
"That game survived under natur-
al conditions is one thing-its sur
vival under present conditions is
entirely another matter.
There are not enough people
including sportsmen, farmers and
lovers of the forests, fields and
streams-who have as yet a suffi-
cient realization that restoration Of
wild life in this beautiful country
of ours must be considered in the
main as an artificial process.
There are not enough people
who realize the problems and diff
culties that state game officials en-
counter and must overcome.
"In other words, the men who are
trying to solve the problems of re-
storing game to our cOverts and fish
to our streams are not getting the
support they should have from the
public as q whole.
MANY of us believe that our
woods, fields and streams can TEEN
with wild life once more-perhaps
in even greater numbers in the
years to come that at any time in
thepast.
Every state in the Union has. or
should have, a game restoration
program. These various programs
can succeed only in proportion to
the success of the community pro-
grams. To start surveying the wild
life of a community is building the
most solid of scientific foundations.
The survey is the only basic unit
upon which the state game officials
and research scientists can create
the perfect state structure for pro-
tecting and proDagating wild bird
animal and fish life. The respOn-
sibility FOR inaugItrating such a sur
vey really rests with the people in
each state. And such program is
needed now more than ever before"
Mr.. Avery concluded.

PAVEE DRIVE ENDS
ANNUAL MUDPUDDLE
Various Treatments Of Slab Add TO
Decoration OF H0mesite
(By John +. Ryan,

Rain is elegant stuff for the fam
lily cistern. It also keeps the forest
service "smokechasers" in good hu-
NOR. But in the late fall, when it
is sometimes augmented by a slushy
burden of snow, it does things to the
unpaved residential driveway that
cause strong men to weep and weak
err men to so about carrying chips
on their shoulders.
With the car begged down in the
driveway to the point where it would
take tribe of wild Indians and nine
blacksmiths' helpers to get it out
again, one can hardly blame the
average householder for having
somewhat of a crouch. But the con
dition is so easily remedied that
there seems to be very little reason
for tolerating the usual driveway
swamp which follows every pro-
lOnged spring and fall downpour.
Driveway paving is one type of
improvement which may be under
taken at low cost with resultant
gains both in convenience and prop
erty value. A well placed and de-
signed driveway adds materially to
the enhancement of residential prop
erty. Consider, for instance, the fact
that a number of home owners today
are following the practice of tinting
the driveway slab to harmonic with
the color borne in the stucco of the
dwelling! Not a bad idea, and one
that might be well worth while in
vestigating.
Decoration, however, is only a
secondary function of the paved
driveway. The concrete slab is pri-
mary assurance that the family car
will not be stranded in mud or sifted
full of dust, assurance that the lawn
will not be rutted, assurance that
visiting coal trucks and delivery
wagons will be amply supported
without fear OF breakdown.
But there are other things Of in
terest which may be developed in
connection with a concrete drive
way. In this modern day, there is
nothing quite so intriguing as turn
ing a purely utilitarian gadget into
a means for amusement. Enough!
The hunch is sufficient. Provided
with a paint can and measuring
tape we mark off a few lines and
numbers on the slab and-presto-
we have a shuttle board court. A
troweled finish, plus polishing, will
provide a better playing surface.
Any competent sidewalk builder
or concrete paving contractor is
capable of building thoroughly sat
isfactory driveway slab. Chances
are that the builder has a few ideas
OF his own about decoration which
will work in well with the home
owners individual thoughts.

MIR. AND MRS. TOM MILLS
CELEBRATE THEIR FIFTIETH
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Mills OF
East Second street, South Milford,
celebrated their 50th wedding ami
versary on Monday evening, Decem-
ber IS, at a party at their home Civ
en- by their neighbors. The neigh
boBs conspired together to make it
a very happy occasion in every re-
spect, and they were successful in
keeping the party a complete Sc
cret until the moment of their ar
rival at the Mills home.
Immediately upon arriving, we'd
ding cake lighted with so candles,
and a purse of gold we're presented
to the happy couple on behalf of the
neighbors, by Mrs. Sadie Russell
Wright. Mrs. Wright then read the
following poem written by herself
especially for the occasion:
Uncle Tom and Aunt Maggie's
Wedding Day
Twas a beautiful day, fifty years
ago,
Uncle Tom and Aunt Maggie to
the preachers did so
To get a knot tied and tied hard and
fast
That all through their lives it
would hold tight and last.
The blushing bride was very young,
And knew for her, life had just
begun;
While the groom was solemn, but
glad at heart
For he also knew life was just
at the start.
So to housekeeping they went,
And the blushing young bride did
all her work, even making
the pies
While the groom was as busy as
busy could be
Working the farm for his wee
family.
Now those times have passed, but
the memories remain
Uncle Tom and Aunt Maggie are
still just the same,
So to you, dear Aunt Maggie, and
you. Uncle Tom,
May your welded bliss linger and
be ever so long.
Appropriate songs were sung, and
the following readings given:
"Mirandy," Mrs. Henry Ingram.
can Old Sweetheart of Mine"
Mrs. George L. Bruning.
Animal Crackers" Mrs. Tom
Mills.
Refreshments were then served.
Just before leaving, Dr. Frank
Herson made a beautiful prayer,
and as a fitting climax, all Joined in
singing BLESSED Be the Tie That
Binds"
