ADVISES FARMERS
TOPLANT BARLEY
CCOntinued from Frs. Page]

to fertilize barley with about 200
800 lbs. of 2-8-5 fertilizer and lime
if red clever and grass are to follow
the crop.
Barley does not remain green dur
ing the winter like wheat or rye but
in the late spring it makes a rapid
growth and stools abundantly. 1t
often yields 20-3O per cent more
than wheat. Some may object to
growing this crop because of it's an
noying boards, but this may be over
looked when compared with the
present wheat price, and the great
feeding value of barley as a food for
dairy cows and poultry. County
Agent C. r. Snyder will be glad to
give you more information relative
to barley in Sussex if you write him
at Georgetown.

Based On uuPOnt LlSt
Comparing the average allowance
on the first 200 cases in Delaware
with allowance for pensions in other
States appears to indicate that the
pension allowances here at home are
considerably below the average. This
may be explained from the fact that
the State Commission took over the
, Alfred |. DUPONT list and based its
initial allowances on that list. This
same condition did not exist in any
other State in the Union. The total
appropriation of the Delaware Leg
islature in Old Age Assistance was
100000.
According to the "Old Age Securi-
ty Herald" published in the interest
of this form of welfare work, the
total number of INDECENT aged who
received pensions under the New
York State Old Age Law, which
went into effect January l, reached
32,323 persons in April, according
to a report made on May 10, to the
State Board of Social Welfare From
September /, 1880 to May l, 60,600
applications have been made, 26,802
OF which were in New York City and
33,79S in the rest of the State.
By May 1, 45,785 applications have
been investigated in the State. The
New York City department of welfare
had received a total of 27,909 appli-
cations by May IA. OF these, 25,S06
were investigated and 1866 ap-
proved. The average pension in the
entire State was $274S for April.
The New York City average was
1891, while the rest of the State
the average was $21.27.
The city had mailed 1929 checks
for May by the fourteenth of that
month, tOtaling $611,679 The total
amount paid for relief during April
throughout the State was $8SS,247.
The first 1000 cases assisted un-
der the Massachusetts Old Age Pen
sion Act received an average of $5.9S
per week, of $23.92 per month, ac-
cOrding to an announcement given
out few days ago.
A member of the State COmmis-
sion is authority for the statement
that the average pension allowance
for elaware will likely show a con-
increase after the first six
when the work of the COM
mission becomes better systematized.
The appropriation of 100000 of the |
Legislature will of course control |
for Old Age Assist
ance in this State.

For the second time the whale is

No longer does the whaleman hurl

 Just about sundown, we passed a lone trapper, gun crossed on his chest, a Kit Carson cap on his head, walking beside a covered wagon. That settled the title for him.
 Relieved at this decision, we turn ed in for the night at the first place we came to. It was one of the first dude ranches--just outside of Du- bois.
 They tell me that the valleys and plains are studded with them now; that the cowhands double as rope. tassinm, entertaintainers and guides; that creature comforts have come in and that tenderfoot can still be a tenderfoot while creating the illu- sion of 'wild west" and getting a lot of fresh air.

 GILBERT SWAN.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-19

New York.-Once upon a time. the tenderfoot was pictured as a ludicrous figure dancing to the tune of six-shooters, while playfully cow punichers roared with delight.
 Now it's the wild westerner who is learning to dance-and to the tune of cash registers played upon by the tenderfoot. For the "dude' invasion, it would seem, has stam- peded the 1O-gallon halted gentry into competition for the tenderfoot trade.
 And since the tenderfoot remains the tenderfoot, he demands to be whisked into the midst of the prairie with comfort and ease and speed.
 Wandering into my office the other day, Joe Cahill. dude ranch mbassador from Cheyenne and way points in Wyoming and Mon- tana, leaves the information that a dude ranch" special train will run out of Chicago regularly through the summer, and airplane service will deposit the potential wild westerners' in the midst of the cat tie country.

 As matter of fact, it's becom- ing quiet the smart thing among a few of the society folk to buy their own western rancheros.
 Not so many years ago, when no one upon this globe could have con- vinced me that one day I would be following the strange trails of Man haitian, I was stirring up the dust of the Wind River Valley in com pany with the late Emerson Hough.
 We were headed for Lander, Wyo, with Dubois as stop-over.
 Hough had been working on his novel, "The Covered Wagon" now known from one end of the globe to the other. But at this moment. as the auto wheels whipped up clouds of sand as the car rocked through loose prairie dust and as the sun baked down about 100 in the shade, Hough was somewhat worried about his characters.

OUR OWN SAFETY WEEK

There is an old saying, Fire is good servant but bad master"
 Fire is good when it cooks our meals or keeps us warm, but if it gets beyond control it may become danger of the worst sort.
 Matches. I am glad to say, have been greatly improved during the past 30 years. Safety matches which must have a special surface for striking are in wide use; and this cuts down the danger. If a baby finds such match, he will not strike it (though he may swallow itD
 Long matches which can be struck anywhere" are still used in some households. and are a danger to babies and small children.
 Once upon time, I came close to grief because of a long match. l do not remember the event for l was only g. year and half old at the time, but here is the story my elders told me after grew older:

 Berlin. (UP)-A gala ball in late April attended by some 5000 mem- bers of one underworld organization has again reminded Berlin that the criminal life of the capital is rather we'll organized.
 The ball was held in a large salon in one of the outlying districts. was well publcized by the newspapers days in advance, and with only a brief inspection. by police. It was given for members of the Inn mertreu" Forever True) band, which is associated with the Ring Gross Berlin" one of the great un- derworld associations of the city. There are two other major orzani- zations, the "Frei-Bund" and the "F'rere Vereinigung," each with from six to eight divisions.
 Many Cliques
 Aside from these mother" or- ganizations, there are some 50 to 60 "Cliques' consisting of the boys and girls of given neighborhoods, most of whom have been detained at some time on minor charges, or who have been in reformatories, or have served small sentences. The character of these may be judged from some of the names, such as the "Ttatar- Blood the North Pirates," Santa Fe," Black Flag "The Wild Seven,' The Long Knife" and "The Woman Haters." |" These groups of the small fry are often involved with the police in cafe and beer-hall clashes, but for the most part, like the larger ones, they profess. to be organized purely for the protection of their members.
 On the evening of the ball Police Chief Grzesinski undertook through radio address. to explain to the public why these bands were not broken up. The chief reason given is that the police now know where to find almost any given suspect who is previously known, and that they much prefer to keep things and people in easily classifiable or- ganizations than to scatter them. Grzesinski also pointed out that it would be virtually impossible to prevent some organization. and rather than force whole crop of new bands into being the old are allowed to stand.
