TO MARK STATE in

their recommendations and to CO.
operate with them in every way in
the conducting of this survey.
1t is not necessary to air-mark the
larger cities because any pilot who
does not know that he is approach
ing a large city, or does not know
the name of the large city he is ap-
preaching is believed to have no
business plotting an airplane.
1t is welcome sight, it was point
ed out, for an aviator flying blindly
through storms or foggy weather to
see a sign on a building or a high
way below him giving the name of
the nearest city or the direction by
an arrow to the nearest airport. He
may not intend to land at this city
or airport but the reinsurance comes
through being able to spot the loca-
tion definitely upon his map, which
enables him to plot his course ac-
cordingly.

NEW LINEUP In BOOM
FOR CONGRESSMAN
EContinned from Firn Paael

[COHtiHHed from First Page]
it is pointed out that he is familiar
with the movement, now Statewide
to try to secure delegates to the
State convention favorable to his
nomination. The situation also is
complicated somewhat by the candi-
dacy of former Senator Charles du
Pont Ridgely, of Camden, Kent
county, for Congress, but it was the
feeling among some Republican
politicians that a close contest may
develop between Congressman Hous-
ton and Captain Simonton for the
nomination. 1t was generally felt
that Senator Daniel o. Hastings will
be unopposed for the Republican
Senatorial nomination.
Simonton's nomination, according
to the gossip is backed by some in
fluential Republicans of Wilmington,
who also are active in the campaign
for repeal or modification of the
Federal prohibition amendment
Captain Simonton at the legislature
was regarded as a wet" when it
came to classifying the members,
and made no secret of his attitude
as opposed to the present system of
prohibition. On the other hand, Con-
gressman Houston always has been
classified as a dry"
According to reports at Rehoboth
on Sunday, former State Senator l.
Dolphus Short, of Milford, one of the
foremost Republican leaders of Sus-
sex county, has allied himself with
the boosters of the Simonton's can
didacy. Mr.. Short was a candidate
for the nomination for Governor two
years ago when Governor Buck was
nominated, and may be candidate
for Governor again two years hence.
General ]. Austin Ellison, it was
said, is in active charge of the
movement to try to bring about the
nomination of Captain Simonton. He
has visited Rehoboth talking up the
Simonton boom right and left, and
also has visited various parts of the
State for that purpose. incidentally,
it is said that General Ellison's ac-
tivity is the result of new alliance
in Wilmington. The progress of the
campaign is being viewed
with interest in lower Delaware.

POINTERS GIVEN
ON ALFALFA BY
COUNTY AGENT
First Essential Is Good
Seed; Cheap Seed Often
The Most Expensive.

For those who are intending to
sow alfalfa this year, the following
pointers as given by County Agent
C. R. Snyder may be of some aid in
getting a good stand.
The first essential in alfalfa is
good seed. YO Twill find that the
cheapest seed is often the most ex-
pensiVe. Do not be induced to buy
this low priced seed even at a few
dollars per bushel less money. The
best seed to SOW in Sussex county
is the Northwestern grown which is
sold by most of our dealers. 1t may
cost little more but divide its eX-
ira cost among the several years it
will outlast the other strains and
you will readily see the wisdom of
buying it. Plant the seed in deep
loose, we'll drained soil. Where
soils are rather thin, deep plOwing
will help. Alfalfa which is a deep
rooted plant must have favorable
soil conditions. Thoroughly pulver-
ize the seed bed by rolling or drag
ging and allow the land to settle.
This may take several weeks. When
properly prepared harrow the
ground after each rain, or if no rain
harrow it about every ten days
until the seed is sOwn. This insures
sufficient moisture and destroys
weeds. Alfalfa will not grow where
weeds compete with it. he field must
be clean and free from all weeds.
Again, Alfalfa must have a fertile
soil. When started it will get its
own food if there is any in reach.
But when it first starts, the plant is
weak and must have plenty of avail
able food in order to make good
growth the first year.
incubation is necessary to grow
alfalfa. This means that you must
plant in the soil nitrogen fixing bac-
terra or germs without which the
plant can not grow. Your soil may
be full of clover bacteria, or cOwpea
or soybean bacteria but these germs
will not help alfalfa. You can put
these germs in your field by using |
soil from another alfalfa field or by |
buying the prepared bacteria. Alfal-
fa must have soil that is sweet and |
not acid. After several successive
crops of grain, soils are apt to be-
come acid. Have your soil tested for
acidity by your County Agent. An
of 1000 pounds of hy-
drafted lime or its equivalent in the
fall and then after the land is plow-
ed in the spring, a second applica-
tion should be sufficient to correct
The acidity. The lime should be
worked in thoroughly before plant
ing the seed.
The time to SOW depends on the To-
,ality. Here it has been proven that
rom August 1890 is the best time
% plant alfalfa. Sow from 20-25
pounds per acre and do not cover
90 deeply.
Alfalfa is rather hard to get start
ID but when you once get stand
you have something that is worth
while.

VACATION CAMP
WELL ATTENDED
BY HOMEMAKERS
The Camp This Year Was
Somewhat OF An Exper-
iment; First One Held.

During the week of July 14th to
18th inclusive forty jolly homemak-
ers from the three counties of Della
ware enjoyed a week of sport and
fun camping at Haylanding Inn, be-
low MillsbOro, on Indian River. The
camp was arranged for and spOn-
sOred by the Extension Service De-
partment, University of Delaware,
and the County Home DemOnstra-
tiOn Advisory Councils of the three
counties. The camp this year was
somewhat of an experiment, it be-
ing the first of its kind held in the
State of Delaware, but the interest
and enthusiasm shown by the wO-
men in attendance is proof of the
pudding, so we feel safe in assuming
that another year the experimental
stage will be over.
The program followed during the
week was very simple. Lots of time
reserved for sports and fun such as
rowing, grabbing, swimming (bath-
ing) all sorts of stunts and recrea-
tion and just plain rest. At odd times
when the women really wanted to
do something with their hands a
very lovely type of handwOrk was
provided, the making of lovely felt
hand and shopping bags. This prov
ed to be very interesting. There
were more than 100 of these articles
made during the week.
On Wednesday, visitors day was
observed at which time more than
300 of Sussex and Kent county peo-
pie visited and enjoyed the time see
ing the camp, and the activities go
ing on in camp as well as meeting
and visiting with old friends from
all sections of the county. $50 of this
number brought with them their
picnic supper and enjoyed a glorious
time picnicing together on the shore
of Indian River, many of whom en-
joyed the bathing and rowing. After
8 80 in the evening those Joined the
inside for an hour or more
of fun of singing, games and stunts.
At 10 D. m. visitors left with a re-
gret that they were not staying for
all the weeks fun of the camp.
Camp broke on Saturday after
noon and while each woman was
glad to join her family again, each
one left with a hope and almost a
determination to attend camp next
year if there be one to attend.
The whole week was quite a sue
cess and everyone had a wonderful
time. Those in charge of the camp |
were Miss Pearl Macdonald, Miss |
NJ. ]. Newcomb, University Of Della
ware; Mrs. X. H. Daugherty, Home |
Agent, New Castle |
County; Miss Louise WhitcOmb,
Home Demonstration Agent, Kent |
County, and Miss Laura B. Ruther-
'ord, Home Demonstration Agent,
Sussex County.

Y o. u
AND YOUR
MONEY
Investment Side Of Insurance
(By John P. Mullen)

N0y oCAAAA MuAACIy
The primary object of life insur.
ance is protection, not income. New.
ertheless, certain forms of life in
surance may be justly regarded as
investment. These are, especially
endowment policies and annuities in
which the principal with interest is
returned at a definite future time
From another viewpoint there is also
some justification for including
straight life and limited-payment
policies under the head of true in
vestments. 1t is true that they do
not yield as much in income as do
sound securities, but they do afford
a larger measure of protection than
securities.
Endowment policies are those
which agree to pay the face value to
the insured at the end of a specified
period, or to his beneficiaries should
he die within that period. They are
virtually loans to an insurance COM
pany in the nature of contracts to
deliver, for consideration, specified
sums of money under certain cOndi-
tions. In the matter of security they
rank very highly. In addition, they
have a very attractive cash surren-
der value and a very large loan
value.
For an individual advanced in
years, who is without dependents an
nuities are sometimes logical invest
ments. This form of policy, not only
produces a larger income than is
usually earned on good securities,
but it pays that income surely and
without the bother that is Incidental
to the handling of bonds and stocks.
1t would not, of course, be suitable
for one who wished to leave a part
of the principal, since it eats up the
entire principal and at the death of
the annuitant the sum invested has
been consumed.
An individual siXty-five years old
and with saved capital amounting to
$4,000 could purchase a single life
annuity from an insurance company
with that sum and be assured of an
annual income of more than $1,000
as long as he lived. Or he could
purchase a survivors life annuity
which guarantees payments through
out the life of one person after an
other until the capital invested was
consumed. Another form of annuity
is that which guarantees an income
for an individual and a dependent,
say his wife, as long as they live.
These forms, of course, do not re-
turn as largely as the single life an
nuity.
Despite the attractiveness of the
investment features of the fancier
policies, the average man will per-
haps do better to confine himself to
straight life or limited-payment
forms of insurance, unless he needs
a compulsory savings program or is
without dependents. For the ad-
vantages which they offer in cash
and loan values, endowment policies
demand larger premiums. If he can
save consistently, he might come out
more profitably if he bought straight
life or a twenty-year payment life
policy and invested the difference in
premiums in sound securities. The
final determinant in the matter, how
ever, is the individuals needs and
purposes in insurance, and the
amount of income he can get aside |
regularly to supply those needs. If |
he buys insurance from that stand !
point, he will undoubtedly make a |
good investment no matter what |
type of policy is purchased.
