SMUT CONTROL IN WHEAT
Proper Treatment of Seed Makes
for Better Quality of Crops

Although the present market
prices for wheat and the prospects
for higher prices in the near future
are very discouraging and do not
warrant the spending of much
money in raising this crop, those
farmers who are expecting to con-
tinue to grow wheat even on a re-
duced acreage next year should
avail themselves of every oppor-
tunity to produce the highest quail
ity of wheat at the lowest cost per
busheI in an effort to withstand
this period of agricultural and gen
eral business depression. AS one
of the great losses to the wheat
crop in Delaware, and in other sec
tions of the United States, in form
er years has been due to the exces-
sive prevalence of the sinking
smut, and in view of the fact also
that this disease is still found in
many wheat fields each year, the
growers are being warned again
this summer relative to the treat
ment of their seed wheat for the
control of this smut to prevent the
dockage in price at harvest time.
This advice seems to be of partic-
ular Importance at this time when
the market prices for wheat are so
low as to cause the farmers to
take every precaution to reduce
the possibilities of dockage on ac-
count of smut balls and an inferior
grade of produce. The campaign
for the control of stinking smut in
the wheat crop of this state was
started in the summer of 1925. Ac-
cording to the surveys which have
been conducted by county agent
Russell E. Wilson regarding the
results of these campaigns in Kent
county, the quantity of seed wheat
treated for smut has increased
from 4,800 bushels in 1925 to 41,-
$40 bushels in 1880, resulting in
the fact that about 80 per cent of
the farmers in this county are fol-
lowing this practice each year.
Dust materials should be used at
the rate of two ounces to each
bushel of seed. The dust disinfect-
ants which are on the market to-
day include copper carbonate, cop
percarb, sanoseed and ceresan,
either one of which will give salts
factory control of this disease if
the wheat is treated in a revolving
drum or machine where the dust
may become thoroughly distribut-
ed over the grain. AS wheat treat
ed with any one of these dust ma
terials may be placed in storage
and kept from now until seeding
time without any injurious results
to the termination of the seed,
growers are advised to treat their
seed wheat just as soon as possible
after it has been threshed and then
it will be ready to plant without
the trouble and the limited time of
treating it just previous to seed
ing. In addition to the control of
the sinking smut, another advant-
age of treating seed wheat early in
the summer is to prevent the
weevil and mice from damaging
the grain.

GOVERNORS DAYsATTRACIS
$4,000 TO KENT-SUSSEX FAIR
CHIEF EXECUTIVE ABSENT,
LIEUT.. GOVERNOR ACTS
Numerous Politicians Attend But
Discussion of Possible Candi-
dates Are Negligible Now

Fifteen thousand people Thurs
day attended the Kent and Sussex
Fair at Harrington, the occasion
being Governors Day. Unfortun-
ately, Governor c. Douglass Buck
was unable to attend, as he is in
the Delaware Hospital in Whining
ton following minor operation.
On account of this being an off
year in politics the attendance of
politicians was not so large as on
previous occasions. Lieutenant
Governor j. Henry Hazel, of Do
yer, attended the fair as represen-
tative of the governor. He was
greeted with salute of 81 guns.
Governor Buck sent the following
telegram: "Keenly disappointed in
not being able to be present today.
Hope you have most successful
season, good attendance and the
usual good time" Among those
who were present were a number
of State Senators representing all
three counties. These were: Sen
ators Simonton, Griffenberg, Green
Hopkins, Hart, Maull and Keith.
Others who were prominent on the
grounds were: D. Mifflin Wilson,
of Dover; Robert Jones, chairman
of the Kent Republican Commit
tee; w. H. Swain, chairman of the
Sussex County Republican Com
mittee; General ]. Austin Ellison,
chairman Of the Republican Ac-
tives Association of New Castle
county; George S. Williams, State
Treasurer and president of the
State Board of Education; William
J. Highfeld, from Wilmington.
Lieutenant Governor Hazel pre-
sented the racing trophy given by
Governor Buck and Senators Sim
onton and Griffenberg presented
the trophies offered by themselves.
On account Of this being an off
year there were no states discuss
ed, so far as could be learned. The
politicians from the districts talk
ed with some of the Senators and
others and of course, politics was
the topic of conversation but it
was declared that it was too early
to discuss candidates and chances
for candidates at this time. The
attendance was the largest of the
present season and equal to that
of previous years on similar occa-
sions. 1t was generally known that
the Governor would be unable to
be present and it is believed that
this detracted somewhat from the
general observance of the day.

and the month of August will be
just relaxation and enjoyment of
quiet days. With so many grad
uates from colleges and normal
schools each year, it is becoming
more difficult to get pedagogical
work in the public schools, unless
unusual qualifications are offered!
for that reason it is necessary for
teachers who have taught in the
schools for years, to avail them
selves of the annual summer

schools, SO as to keep up with
progress in school work. Work is
the price of teachers position
and those who slip back or stand
still will soon be discarded for
younger and more active student
teachers. These summer schools
are opportunities for teachers to
keep valued positions. Those who
work will win. Those who COM
plain and criticize, will be discard

Make Mothers Day
 Same Every Sunday
Dr Lillian M Gilbreth, Noted Girl Scout Leader, Lauds
 Plan to Give Mother Rest

pr Lillian Gilbreth. distinguished consulting engineer, member of the Girl Scout national board of direc- tors and mother of a family of eleven, has a suggestion to make for Mothers Day this year.
 "Why not, since 1t falls on Sum day, make 1t a model for all other Sundays ?s she asks.
 Dr Gilbreth approves highly of the Girl Scout plan to take over the household duties on Mothers Day, May 10th, and give the hard-worked head of the family rest.
 j Tt is easier, however, to give mother rest than to make her take it, she warns. T suggest that the girls follow the example of my own family"
 Dr Giibreth's home is run as an efficient democracy. in the councils of which each member has a voice. When it was decided that the children assume the tasks of pre- pairing Sunday suppers, there was an implied agreement that mother should rest. But she was found tidying the attic and doing other such neglected chores. The chill dren struck, and thereafter Dr Gilbreth on Sunday evenings amused herself or literally rested.
 My first suggestion is to see that mother understands what is expected of her on Mothers Day and other Sundays, if they are modelled on this. My second is that. the girls not only take over the cooking and the chores, but
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-08

day is usually at the expense of her energy on Monday, Dr Gill; breth points out. A Sunday sup- per of "left-overs," for example. means an empty ice and cake box the next day.
 But what is work for mother is fun for children sometimes. When they get the Sunday meals, they should so plan them as to have plenty left-overs for the week in the form of cookies, stewed fruits and other things that can be trusted to keep fresh with care. If one of the girls plays the hostess nicely, the family can make of meals a agme. If the table is laid daintily and all the chores done properly, any mother will learn not only to rest but enjoy herself" II

759 Religious and Social
Workers Said to Have Had
Financial Relations.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 2e.-Payment of
fees to clergymen by the motion pic
ture industry was criticized today In
report by the department of research
and education of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America.
Specifically mentioning the motion
picture producers and distributors, OF
which Will H. Hays is president. the
report said that the treasurer of the
producers had made sworn statements
that he paid expenses and fees to
many members of religious and social
organizations; in the case OF 81 per-
sons expenses incurred in conferences
or addresses were paid by the Hays
organization. Some very liberal pay
nents of expense accounts have been
made" continued the report.
Charge Favor Sought.
Much of the time and strength of
the Hays organization seems to have
been given to cultivating persons of in
f1uence. gaining the favor OF organiZa-
tons and seeking to clear the road of
legislative or other obstacles to its
program
The report charges that many of the
i59 persons connected with religious
or social organizations had financial
relationships with the Hays group in
1928, 90 and 80.
Writes TO Bishop.
Mr. Hays. in a letter to Bishop
Francis j. Mcconnell, president of the
Federal Council, defended his organ
iZation.
He wrote: IT know of no greater
force than education in raising the
standards OF public appreciation" The
motion picture industry would always
welcome criticism. he added
Mr.. Hays said that in regard to the
picture King of Kings" he refused to
accede to the demand of the Rev
George Reid Andrews, chairman of
the Church and Drama Association
Demanded Cut.
Mr.. Hays said Mr. Andrews as an
adviser demanded that 10 per cent
gross of the picture be paid to the
associations treasury, only as long as
Andrews remained chairman.
Mr.. Andrews, in Bridgeport, Conn.
said Hays was not telling the whole
story. adding:
Hays double-crossed us, got all my
ideas and completely commercialized
the project"
Carl E. Mlljken. executive secretary
of the Hays organization, resigned
from the Federal Council of Churches
last week as the report was being fin
ished.

Authorities at Dallas May Solve
Death of Couple on Unfre-

By the Associated Press
DALLAS. Tex. June 29.-County
officers considered they had a tangible
lead to follow today in efforts to solve
the fatal shooting of Abe Schneider
20, OF Galveston and Pauline German
II. Of Dallas on an unfrequented road
south of this city early yesterday.
They said the clue was description
of an armed and masked robber who
last night help up a young Dallas
couple near the spot where the body
of Miss German was found.
Schneider, with bullet through his
heart, was found about am. yesterday
across a barbed wire fence more than
a mile from the spot where his sweet
heart lay dead. Their motor car. blood
stained and abandoned, was discovered
later in South Dallas
Money which friends said Schneider
carried was missing from his pockets.
