 Visibility Is Improving
 Surface storms have subsided, explained MT. Clithero, but the condition particularly advantageous now is improved visibility on the floor of the sea. Cold weather IS locking the Taku River in ice, and silt and mud from that stream arc no longer moving into the sea, and cbscuring the waters that wash the Islander wreck.
 Our operations will be contin- ued from the Bremerton, which is moored above the wreck. If we have use for our derrick scow, we shai, bring 1t from Thunder Bay, where the scow was taken during recent storm. Our crew consists of seven men. Capt. 0. A.

BARRYMORE PROFILE RIvALED
BY VOICE IN TALKING DRAMA

The perfect screen voice, like the
perfect screen face, is probably the
one that gives the least trouble to
its owner under any conditions. That
voice has been discovered.
John Barrymore, great lover of
stage and screen, who makes his
talking picture debut as the star Of
General Crack" Warner Bros. all
talking Vitaphone special at the
New Plaza Theatre, Milford next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is
the possessor of a perfect screen
voice, according to Alan Crosland
who directed the picture.
The voice registers with smooth
ness and resonance, and that tech
nical finesse which so many talking
film players lack.
Mr.. Barrymore enacts vividly
colorful role in this romantic tale of
adventure in eighteenth century Eu-
rope. while the cast includes Marian
Nixon, Lowell Sherman, Hobart
Bosworth, Armida, Philippe de Lacy,
Jacqueline Logan, Otto Matieson,
Andres de Segurola, and many
others. Walter Anthony did the

many chick troubles that can be pre-
vented by early roosting and no
harm can come from it. Early roOst-
ing prevents crowding, saves litter,
makes it easier to clean the brooder
house, prevents coccidiosis and
keeps the birds in good condition
and appearance.
Small, low perches should be
placed in the brooder house when
the chicks are two weeks old. Small
perches about four feet long and on
blocks four inches high are very de-
sirable. These roosts are placed
around the hover. AS soon as the
chicks learn to use these perches
they should be encouraged to roost
in the back of the brooder house.
Temporary perches should be plac-
ed about one foot from the floor. AS
soon as the birds are old enough to
take away the stove put in enough
perches. The roosts should be about
two and one half feet from the floor
and about sixteen inches apart. The
entire brooder house should be used
for roOsting.
Many poultrymen use roosting
ARRANGEMENT which saves time and
prevents smothering from crOwding
during the early broOding period. On
all sides of the brooder house, ex-
cept the front, roosts are attached
to the side of the house about two
feet from the floor. The roosts are
attached to frame whic his hinged
to the wall. On the lower side of the
roosts, and covering the whole frame
poultry wire is stretched When
the chicks are small the front side
of the frame rests on the floor. This
gives the birds low perches. The
wire under the roosts prevents the
chicks from crowding to the corn
ers. Even if they do crowd, those on
the bottom of the pile will not smO-
ther. This roosting arrangement al
so keeps the chicks from getting in
to the droppings.
Early roosting should be encour-
aged. 1t will not cause crooked
breast bones and this practice is
one of the important parts of good
broOding.

GROWERS
MUST COMBAT
THE CORN BORER
Insect Is Here In Greater
Numbers This Year;
Source Of Worry.

Two years ago the attention of
County Agent C. R. Snyder was
called to, what seemed to be, a new
corn pest to some of our farmers.
This year this insect is here in
greater numbers and is causing wOr-
ry to many corn growers. The in
sect works somewhat like the de-
structive European Corn Stalk BOr-
er. This bOrer, however, is very de-
structive and is rather hard to fight.
Usually this pest enters the stalk at
its upper end, near the tassel. Often
this so weakens the tassel that it
breaks off before it natures result
ing in loss of pollen. These tassels
with extrusions of sawdust like ma
terial at the break indicate the pres
ence of the borer. After destroying
the tassel, they tunnel down through
the stalk. Again others bore into the
stalk itself and tunnel either down
ward or upward, increasing the size
of the tunnels as they develop.
Small holes in the stalk with saw
dust like extrusions show where the
borer is at work. Where many bor-
ers are at work, the stalk becomes a
mere shell, filled with castings of
the borer. This injury cuts off the
supply of plant food, weakens the
stalk and eventually breaks over.
Some borers will even enter the
ears. This Common Corn Stalk Bor-
er usually has two broods during the
season; the first brood appearing in
the early growing season when it
lays the eggs on young leaves. In
the fall the larvae of the second
brood burrows down into the base
of the stalk, where it spends the
winter
To suppress this borer, burn or
otherwise destroy all stalks left in
the field in the fall. This together
with clean cultivation and crop ro-
tations are the only known control
measures.

1t will be seen by this chart that
only fourteen days have registered
an official temperature of over 100
until last week, when Sundays tenn
perature was 1O2; Mondays 105 and
Tuesdays 104. Last Sunday the Off
cial thermometer stood at 95 de-

There are many in Milford who
speak OF che extreme weather of for
mer years, but a careful examination
of the above dates will show that
never, until last week, during the
thirty-seven years of official gov
ernment weather recording here,
has there been three days in sue
cession when readings of 100 or
over were recorded. In fact, only has
two succeeding days been noted by
the weather bureau. 1t will also be
seen by examining the above records
that thirteen of the seventeen eXces-
sively hot days have been in July,
and that June and August have reg
istered two days each. The above

1t is not known if further argu-
ment will be presented in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer, where the
case has been twice taken, or if an
appeal will be made to the Board of
Pardons by interested parties. If
taken to the Board of Pardons it
will be for a second hearing before
that body.
The gallows upon which Russ was
to have been executed were dis
mantled and stored away, in readi-
ness for use if Russ fails to prove
his innocence. If the efforts to save
him from the gallows fail, they will
again be erected, one or two days
before the time set for the hanging.
AS soon as word was received at
the Workhouse, Warden Leach start
ed to send out written notices to the
witnesses summoned to the execu-
ton, telling them that it had been
postponed. Under the law, is is nee
essary to inform the witnesses in
such a case early enough so that
there would be no mistake in the
time. Employees of the Workhouse
delivered the missives in person.
It is understood that every effort
will be made by interested parties
to prove the innocence of Russ.

been accompanied by other logical
and inevitable bad business condi-
tions, as for example, unemploy-
ment. England's unemployment has
steadily increased from March, 1929,
to the present time.
"The latest available figures for
Germany for March, 1880, shows that
PIT of the trade union members
were unemployed. Government fig
ures from Germany show that in
May, 1929, over 929,579 unemployed
were receiving state aid. This has
steadily increased until the latest
figures show that 2,347,000 are re-
ceiving state aid. Government sta
tistics also show that business fail
ures have steadily increased from
August, 1929, and fro mthat date to
April, 1880, business failures have
practically doubled.
"Take Canada as another illustra-
ton. The index of industrial pro-
duction in Canada reached a high
point in January, 1929, when based
upon a five-year period of 19l9-1924
as representing 100, the industrial
production of Canada was 2O9. 1t
then began to slump, each month
showing a decrease until the last
available figures as of April, 1880,
show the industrial production of
Canada to be 1898. Quite naturally
unemployment has increased as in
dustrial production has decreased as
also have business failures.
There are many reasons for these
conditions, some of them economic,
others political, and still others due
to various conditions.
although the world is supposed
to be at peace, the facts are that it
is in a state of ferment which is de-
stroying economic stability every
where, causing a feeling of unrest
and uncertainty in all lines of hui
man endeavor in every country on
the globe.
"The people of the United States
are particularly fortunate in that
the yare not suffering in any indus
try to the degree that peoples of
similar industries are suffering in
other nations of the world, and the
outlook for improvement in the
United States, due to our stable gov
ernment, due to our sound economic
politics, due to the leadership of our
President, is vastly more favorable
than that enjoyed by any other
country on the face of the globe"

1t was presumed that the shed was
being used as a storage place for

knew nothing of the gasoline.
The investigation also revealed
that the "Don," the seized craft, was
powered with a Liberty twin engine
and that a number carved into the
side of the boat was its only means
of Identification in addition to its
name. The number, 29OO25, was fol-

found on the boat which would indi-
cate its ownership, the raiders said,
while one of the two seized automO-
biles bore a New Jersey license
plate. The other had Pennsylvania
tags.
On either side of the engine in the
boat there were holds in which the
liquor was stored. 1t was contained
in sacks, there being II bottles in
each sack. The liquor, obviously of
foreign vintage, consisted of Old
Null rye, Monopole champagne and
Scotch. 1t is presumed that it was
shipped through the Delaware Bay,
about nine miles away from the
scene of the seizure.

ing alfalfa, the kind of seed to use,
and other cultural requirements of
this crop, indicating that more in
terest is being shown each year in
the proper methods to follow in Sc
curing a satisfactory stand.
This alfalfa campaign has shown
remarkable results in Kent county,
according to surveys which have
been made by County Agent Russell
E. Wilson during the past three
years, as the paintings have been in
creased approximately $500 acres,
al.1 each year finds many farmers
sowing this seed for the first time.
This project will be continued in
the program of work for the county
until the alfalfa acreage has been
increased sufficiently to meet the de-
mands for this hay, as no other hay
crop can take its place on our farms
in this section of the United States.
Although it is too early to seed al
falfa now, those farmers who are
planning to grow some this summer
should begin Immediately to prepare
their ground and apply lime if the
soil is at all acid in nature, for al
falfa requires a firm seed bed and a
soil that is sweet and well drained.
Unless either alfalfa or sweet clover
has been grown in the fiel dthat is
intended fo ralfalfa, the seed should
be inoculated if the best results are
to be obtained with this crop. The
recommended time for seeding al
falfa in this section. is during the
last two weeks in August, and the
usual rate of seeding is 20 pounds
to the acre, although some farmers
prefer to use a few extra pounds on
land that is in a high state of fer
tility.
