new LIBERAL WET
TICKET IS RUMORED
Delaware Democrats And Repub-
Iicans May Merge To Fight The
Klair Law.

Persistent talk is being heard in
political circles of a non-partisan
Liberal Ticket, with its chief mo-
tive, modification of the Volstead
Act and repeal of the Klair Law, to
be offered the voters of Delaware at
the fall election.
According to rumOrs, prominent
Democrats and Republicans are in
accord with the movement and are
planning to present an entire slate
for all State and county offices to
the electorate.
Reports of the ticket have been in
the air for some time, but the talk
has been stronger during the past
few days than ever before.
It is said that candidates for some
of the offices and at the head of the
ticket, are already slated. 1t was
also said that the ticket will have
the backing of both influential and
wealthy persons in the State.
While reports of the wet ticket
are being heard, there is also some
talk of the possibility Of an indepen-
dent dry ticket. 1t is said that
hackers of this ticket will nominate
their own candidates for the head of
the ticket and will merely indorse
dry candidates of either ticket who
are opposed by wet candidates. Ac-
cording to reports, Kent county
man will be the candidate for Unit
ed States Senator, with Whining
tonian for Congress, on the dry tic
ket.

GROWING OF TOBACCO
IN SUSSEX TO BE TRIED
Laurel High School Student viii Try
To Raise Weeds Down State

Marshall Hastings, a senior IN
T,aureI high school, is making den-
mite plans to grow half-acre Oh To-
bacco this year.
This will be the first time IN many
wears that tobacco has been grown
in Sussex county. In the earlier MS
torv of the county, tobacco was tounu
growing here, but like the peacn IN
dustry of a few years ago, 1t mas Deen
replaced by other crops.
The seed for this crop was pro-
cured by Charles P. Helm, superlh-
tendent of the school, and IS the
tvpe grown in Lancaster County, "a;
The seed was planted in the hot Ded
and the plants should be ready TO
transplant into the field as soon as
danger of heavy frost is passed:
Tne members of the agriculture
class of Laurel School were present
when the seed was sOwn and tney
will follow the project through the
various stages until the crop is mar
vested and marketed. 1t is likely thal
the community in general will be IN
terested in this new adventure anu
if it proves successful, it may serve
as another money crop for the farm
erS.
The Valiant Fertilizer Company
will furnish the fertilizer for the pro
iect and Superintendent Helm mas
Volunteered his services in directing
the new enterprise. Tobacco OF the
tvpe being tried out here, is selling
at % to rs cents per pound at the
present time and yields from l,SO'
to 2.2OO pounds per acre.

Due to alarm on the part OF sew

brought out that the only new de-
cisions in the truck controversy be-
tween states applied to trucks from
one state doing intra-state business
in another. That is, a truck bear
ing a Delaware license, for instance,
If it picks up a cargo from one point
in Maryland and carries it to another

a Maryland license. This also ap-

JAPANESE BEETLE
SPREAD MAKING SLOW
PROGRESS IN NATION
Report Says Infected Area Has
Increased Only Forty Miles In
Twelve Years.
DELAWARE AFFECTED
Central New Jersey, Eastern
Pennsylvania And Northern
Delaware Worse Hit.

A survey of the Japanese Beetle
situation shows that during 1929
there was no spectacular spread Of
the insect, reports Loren B. Smith,
Principal EntomOlogist, Japanese
Beetle Laboratory, Moorestown, New
Jersey. Outside of the finding OF a
few beetles at distant points, the ma
tural spread of the pest last year DID
not exceed five miles in any direc-
ton. At the present time, the Jap
anese Beetle does not occupy a ter
ritory over 80 miles in extent and
during the twelve years that the
beetle has been known, it has
spread only 40 miles from the orlgl-
nal point of infestation at RiVerton,
New Jersey.
The central part of New Jersey,
eastern Pennsylvania and northern
Delaware, still represents the only
heavily infested regions of the UNI
ted States, states Mr.. Smith, who
has gone over every phase OF the
beetle situation.
During the past year, beetles were
found by scouts of the Plant Quar-
antine and Control Administration
in Norfolk, Virginia; and Boston,
Massachusetts, in very small num-
bers. It is believed that the spread
of the beetle to these distant points
has been due entirely to their beng
carried on trains, automobiles OF
boats, as no beetles have been found
in the territory adjacent to these
isolated spots.
In describing the spread OF the
Japanese Beetle, Mr.. Smith states
that it's advance in a noTthward dl-
rection has been apparently retard-
ed by the hilly country in Northern
New Jersey. 1t is still scarce along
the New Jersey seacoast. West OF
the Delaware River the beetle mas
progressed with remarkable slow
ness. The extension of its range ap-
pears to be hampered by the pres
ence of high ridges, but in the val
leys it has become exceedingly
abundant.
Another important trend OF the
Japanese beetle spread is that the
regions of densest .infestations no
longer coincide with the earliest IN
tested area. Surveys of both the
