The healthy condition 0

The healthy condition of
Delaware's banking institu-
tions, and this means Smyrna,
Clayton, and all other banks
in the State, indicates the fl
nancial soundness of business
throughout the state. Com
missioner Horsey's report, is
sued Monday, is particularly
gratifying. 1t shows that,
notwithstanding the adverse
trade conditions throughout
the country, the resources of
Delaware's savings banks,
state banks and trust compan-
les, on June 80, this year, ex-
ceeded the total on the CORES
ponding date of last year by
$6,783,517. The advance, it
is interesting to note, was all
along the line. Savings, for
example. between March 25
and June 80, this year, in
creased $1,318,141, while the
checking accounts recorded a
gain during the same period
of S3,3O8,S73. This crafty
ing condition, however, re
fleets not only a sound eco
nomic situation, but also good
bank management.

MORE ALFALFA IN KENT co.
Campaign Started Has Endorse
ment of X. Z. Wilson, Kent Agent

AS there is usually shortage of
hay in this section of the country,
and since this situation was very
evident last year on many farms
due to the drought conditions, in
dications point toward continued
increased demand for this crop
during the next several years, with
the result that those farmers who
have fields which are suitable for
growing alfalfa should plan to sow
a few acres this summer. In ad-
dition to the fact that alfalfa pro-
vides one of the best and most sat
isfactory kinds of hay that can be
grown for dairy cattle and other
livestock in this county, it is the
opinion of many farmers that more
profit per acre may be realized
from alfalfa than from any other
crop at the present market de-
mards and prices Of agricultural
products. That alfalfa is rapidly
gaining in popularity among the
farmers in Kent county is being
shown each year by the increase in
acreage. and these additional
paintings have been accompanied
by numerous inquiries which farm
ers have made at the county exten-
sion Office regarding the time of
seeding, the kind of seed to sow,
the amount of lime to use, and 9TH
er cultural requirements of this
legume for securing a satisfactory
stand. Although it is too early to
seed alfalfa now, those farmers who
are planning to grow some this
year should begin Immediately to
prepare their ground and apply
lime if the soil is acid, as alfalfa
requires a firm seed bed and a soil
that is sweet and well drained.
Unless either alfalfa or sweet
clover mas been grown in the field
that is intended for alfalfa, the
best results are to be obtained. 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
fertility This alfalfa campaign
which was started on statewide
basis in 1927 under the direction OF
the extension service of the Uni.
versity of Delaware, has shown re.
markable results in Kent county
according to surveys which have
been made each year by county
agent Russell E. Wilson, and which
have indicated that the alfalfs
paintings have been increased t.
over 4,600 acres during the pas
four years. Another interesting
fact in connection with these seea
surveys is that all of the local deal
ers in the county are carrying il
stock good grade Of alfalfa see
which as reported to have bee
grown in the western and north
western regions of the Unite
States, and which is the kind tha

End Rem0Frhoid
With Radium RAYS
AT Home-Today

Irritation and pile pains now end
at once through new discovery. Ev-
cry one knows that hospitals have
used radium rays for years for pain
full, persistent piles. Now medical
science has discovered how to blend
Mountaineering substance with
other healing ingredients in an ONT
ment called Album, for use at home.
This new discovery brings instant
relief and complete freedom from
pains because its healing radium
rays reach deeply into the tender,
inflamed tissues where ordinary
salves cannot touch.
"10-year-old piles left me in six
days, thanks to Album" writes A.

G. T. Jones of the same city says:
THE first application of Album gave
relief. or more applications end

LESLIE ENTERS
BATTLE ON GAS
'ROOTLEGGERS'
Governors Ire Aroused by
Oil Dealers Recital of
Ogden Compromise.

Governor Harry G. Leslie today
took a hand in the fight against
gasoline bootlegging in Indiana.
He called a conference with At
torney-General James M. Ogden re-
garding a former compromise gas
tax settlement and asked for legal
advice as to possibility of giving
special aid in the gas tax matter
by employing investigators to be
paid from his emergency fund.
Faced by group Of organized oil
men Monday, Leslie declared him
self opposed to such compromise
settlements as had been made by
guess" in the attorney generals Of
fee two years ago.
ogden took $4,000 cash from
Poole Harrison, Chicago, for 500 900
tax due from the Knickerbocker
Refining Company, Hammond, and
permitted an additional $4,000 to he
paid on the installment plan.
The oil men calling on the
Governor Monday disclosed that the
entire $4,000 has not yet been paid
and emphasized Che unfairness of
settling a 100000 tax evasion for
$4,000.
Leslie promptly agreed.
Rauch Is Spokesman
H. L. Rauch of the Indian Rein
ing Company was spokesman for
the group and declared that they
were out to fight against compro-
misses and installment settlements.
They wanted Governor Leslie to
join with them in appointing a
committee of three to double check
the gas collections.
Leslie pointed out that the entire
matter is under the state auditor
and beyond his control.
Floyd E. Williamson, state audi
tor, who was invited to the confer
ence by the Governor, pointed out
that the 100000 compromise was
made under his predecessor, A. N.
Bobbitt. Bobbitt is a Republican,
Williamson a Democrat.
It also was brought out that the
committee represented the big or
ganized oil dealers and Williamson
said that there is a rival organiza-
ton of smaller Independents.
Defends Partial Payments
He inquired if the gasoline boot
leg wasn't originally purchased from
big reflneries, and asserted he knew
that the big companies made tank
wagon drivers notaries so they could
help the farmers pile up the $780,,
900 agricultural refunds.
In defending partial payments for
back tax, Williamson said he didn't
intend to drive the little fellow out
Of business, and gave him the BEN
eft of the doubt when he declared
a mistake had been made.
But Rauch, spokesman for his
committee representing such giants
as Lincoln, Shell and Standard Oil,
commended that the dealer who
didn't buy more than two cars
month couldn't be mistaken in
knowing whether or not the tax had
been paid.
Upshot of the meeting appeared
to be the opportunity for William
son to appoint some more "deserv-
ing Democrats" to his field force for
gas tax collections. He now has five.
