In October, two months before the
senate returns.
Galleries Filled
The senate galleries were filled
with an excited crowd, including
hundreds of women, and nearly
every senate seat was occupied
when the roll call was taken. The
atmosphere was surcharged as the
youthful La Toilette demanded a
quorum call to make certain that
all senators were summoned for
the vote.

Tydings, Vandenberg and Wagner
cast their votes against, and the
issue was decided. The stands Of
Walcott, the two Washes, Water

Deneen's "nay" brought gasps
of excitement from the galleries,
as did the "yea" of Steck. Some
one whistled softly when Vanden-
berg joined the anti-administration
side.
Gains a Point
Steiwer of Oregon gained a signi-
flcant point for the opposition bv
announcing that he transferred his
pair with Grundy to the absent
McMaster, and voted "nay." So
bitter has been the battle for
votes that McMaster was unable
to get pair to offset his vote TO
allow him to return to South Da-
kota for the primary contest in
which he was renominated.
Seventeen republicans, including
such men as Steiwer, Deneen. Rob-

When the Bonds are paid, the

DR.. Caleb r. Layton, whose
death at his home in George
town is chronicled has long
been one of the conspicuously
outstanding citizens of lower
Delaware. Perhaps his activ-
tiles in politics partly obscur-
ed his eminence and promin-
ence as a doctor of medicine,
but in the heyday of his pro-
fessional career he was one of
the outstanding physicians of
the State. He had, however,
a love for politics, was known
as a brilliant leader and fight
er, and became Secretary Of
State of Delaware and served
two terms in the lower house
of Congress. Possibly no 9TH
er Delawarean was more
widely known among his fell
low citizens. In the declining
years of his life he came to
be regarded in the light of an
institution. He knew almost
everybody with whom he had
come in contact or else they
knew him, and nearly every
body who visited Georgetown
to exchange friendly
courtesies with him. His
passing takes a Delawarean

ARE SUCCESSFUL
Seed Corn Treatment Conducted i'm
Cooperation with County Agent

Considering the fact that the
practice of treating seed corn for
the control of root rot and other
diseases that the carried on the
seed was not being followed at all
by the farmers in Kent county five
years ago, and also that a survey
conducted this fall by County
Agent Russell E. Wilson indicated
that there were approximately g.
912 acres of corn planted with
treated seed last spring, it is reas-
enable to assume that much pro-
gress has been made toward
spreading this idea among the
corn growers in this county. For
the past four years seed treatment
demonstrations have been conduct
ed on different farms in Kent
county, and in checking up the re-
suits of these plots each fall it has
been found that during this period
the treated seed has given an av-
erage increase of AS bushels of
Soih pei dIIS OfSl lHt Until Edltu
seed. This project this year was
conducted on the farms of Law
renee E. Cain and T. M. McGinnis
in the FELTON, area, Dewey Sapp
near Houston, Howard G. Deakyne
and Dudley Crossley in the Smyr-
ma and Clayton sections, Elwood
Kemp near Brenford, and Howard
Wix at Frederick. Both Semesen
Jr. and Merko were used to treat
the seed corn in the demonstra-
tions on the Cain, Sapp and Dea-
kyne farms, while Semesan Jr.
alone was used on the remaining
four farms, with portion of the
field on each of these seven farms
planted with untreated corn in or
der to compare the results from
the seed treatment acreas. The
yields of corn from the plots which
were planted with the Semesan Jr.
and Merko treated seed were prac-
tically the same in that the aver
age yield this year was 50.45 BUSH
els per acre, as compared to 46.8
bushels per acre from the untreat-
ed seed, or a difference of 3.65
bushels in favor of the seed treat

t. Coleman DUPONT has
passed to his eternal rest. A
life full of activity, a philan-
thropist and benefactor, his
life was full of good works.
Aside from these activities in
the DUPONT Powder Company
and in the Republican Party,
he will be best remembered in
years to come as the man
who started Delaware's fine
system Of concrete roads. He
gave, out of his own personal
funds, four million dollars
(S4,000,0 ,000), for a state high
way from the Pennsylvania
State line above Wilmington
down thru Smyrna, Dover,
Milford and Georgetown, to
the Maryland State line at
Selbyville. This road bears
his name and will be known
for years to come as the du-
Pont Boulevard. Since this
was built Delaware has added
materially to it's road system.
But it was General DUPONT
that gave the impetus and
Delawareans generally will
ever remember him as a bene-
factor.

tinged with sorrow. 1t is not
oppressive like a sorrow that

know that Winter will turn
into Spring with all it's joy
BUSINESS and that Summer will
come again; but when Aut-
umn is here, even it's glories
of color do not fully alleviate
the hurt it brings. We hear
much of Spring fever when
green buds burst forth into
Spring and shy flowers first
show their petals in the sun
light. This peculiar sensation
has ever been a yearning for
new loves, for thrills. The

ment. In addition to securing this
increase in yield per acre, the corn
which was grown from the treated
seed in most cases was more solid
and it seemed to mature earlier
than the corn in the remainder of
the field. This is a very import
ant factor in the growing of corn,
for every farmer is interested in
producing the best crop possible,
and any increase in bushels per
acre is step forward in the pro-

The census totals, relating
to the agricultural interests
of New Castle and Sussex
counties show that in interval
of 1920-25 there had been a
considerable increase in num-
ber of farms and in the acre
age under cultivation - due
perhaps to the demand for
products of the land as stim-
ulated by the World War
but that both counties have
dropped back, and during the
last five years 128 farms in
New Castle county and 253 in
Sussex have gone out of bust
ness. There is a decrease of
less than 1000 acres in the
land under cultivation in this
county, which is almost offset
by the gain of about 5000
acres added to the farms of
Sussex. In the latter 1,708
of the farms are between so
