State Gardeners Complaining Of
Blight In DeIphinium

State Gardeners Complaining Of
Blight In DeIphinium
Many gardeners of the State are
reporting trouble with blight in their
Delphinium, which attacks both an
nual and perennial plants. According
to Mr.. C. E. Temple, Specialist on
Plant Pathology of the Extension
Service, University of Maryland, as
the spores are readily disseminated
on the shoes and tools it is highly i'm
portant that the soil, which has been
infected with diseased plants, be care
fully disinfected.
According to Mr.. Temple, the dis
ease often forms sclerota at the base
of the plant which begin as little club
shaped masses of tan-brown or dark
red-brown bodies about the size of
mustard seed or bird shot when ma
ture.
Mr.. Temple recommends formalde-
hyde 1-24O applied at the rate of y
quart per square foot. The ground
should first be dug up and the soil
thoroughly pulverized. If the treated
soil can be kept covered for a time
the treatment will be more effective.

|If1IRTY-THREE II. S. RAILRO DADS
HAVE CHANGED DIVIDEND POLICY
Action of New York Central Adds to List
of Carriers Omittine or Reducing
Their Payments. ~

Central reduced their dividend from
the 90 3 share basis that was put into
effect In August, 1927, to So q share.
In September they made further cut
from $6 to- a annually. For; the last
three months, therefore, the stock has
been at the lowest dividend rate since
1914, when ii paid its $4,000 share
holders $3.7A In the five years pre-
ceding 1914 the average was slightly
above IS share. In, the year 1890 it
dropped as low as 50 q share after
having ranged from 10 per cent down
TO 8 per cent from 1875. Between 1870
ana 1878 the dividend was So a share.
Reduction Is Large.
In the past year there have been So
American railroads that have been
compelled to change their dividend
policy, owing. to the most extreme de-
cline in their earnings suffered in a
quarter Of q century. These roads are

dends on approximately $500 900, 900 Of
New York Central Railroad Co. stock
have been ordered omitted by the di7
rectors of the system, owing to the poor
earnings this year, which will produce
only q nominal amount to apply to

the stock has declined steadily until it

The directors action interrupted q
dividend record going back more than

this year with their shareholders.

stepped down from the presidency of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, which
is paying annual dividends of $40 a
share, and yesterday was formally
elected president Of the New York Gem
tral after the directors had announced
that they could not under the circurn-
stances continue dividends.
This Is one of the most singular
changes, owing to the unusual circum-
stances, that has taken place in the
railroad world In years Friends of Mr..
Williamson regard the exchange Of
positions as a promotion, and say that
he has every opportunity to make a
great record on the Vanderbilt road, for
he starts with conditions from q credit
standpoint near the bottom and with
everything in his favor for producing
an entirely different set of operating
results IN the next year from those with
which he begins ONCE. - =

tral petitioned the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the right to issue $780,
