allimportant word is SUDS-fOr suds are the
secret of successful washing.
And now the. worlds greatest soapmakers,
Proctor & Gamble, bring you their new soap
discovery that does all washing better and
quicker-because of its gift of richer suds.
Women call il real blessing.
The name of this new soap is OxydOl. II
will amaze and delight you because it makes
q hard job easier.
Oxydol is supercharged with pure rich
soap) for 500 more suds than other soaps i'm
granulated form-livelier suds that OutIU0sEs
and OutLast all others!
Richer sWdS that do
more york.
OxydOl speeds up washing remarkably II
because its richer suds do most of the
hard work for you.
Weak old-ype suds can't get things
really clean because they quickly wilt
and fzzle away to watery thinness.
So when you buy soap, look for suds;
remember, it's really s"ds you are pay
ing for.
If the suds fall, the dirt falls back
alsO-but Oxydol suds never quit ON
the job-they OufIGst all others.

MAKE ALFALFA SURVEY
IN KENT COUNTY
Farmers Planted Approximately S5S
Acres In Crop This Year

AS a part of the program which is
being fostered by the extension ser
vice of the University of Delaware
in connection with the growing OF
high quality hay for dairy cattle and
other livestock, a survey is made OF
the quantity of seed which has been
sold by the local dealers each year
in order to estimate the total acre
age that has been seeded to this le-
gume in comparison with some of
the other leading pasture and hay
crops.
This alfalfa program was started
in this State in 1927 as the result of
the possibilities of farmers facing a
shortage of hay, and the number of
inquiries which each county extern
sion office was receiving concerning
the kind of seed to buy and the cul-
tural requirements of this crop. At
means of determining the extent
to which farmers are making use of
alfalfa in their farming operations,
seed distribution surveys are taken
each year by the county agents who
visit the local dealers and secure
this information.
Some very interesting facts have
been brought out as the result of
these seed surveys, and it is very

AUSTIN WINS EGG
LAYING CONTEST
Milford Man Had Two
Birds To Produce Over
800 Eggs In 81 Weeks

After twenty years of service to
the pOultrymen of the United States
and Canada, and incidentally Eng
land, the pioneer Egg Laying Con-
test of America, was terminated on
October %, 1881.
Records made in this contest have
been exceeded by few others, one
record, 343 eggs, was nearly six
times the output of the average
farm hen.
Egg production in this country
and across its northern border has
been raised from a lOwly farm aver
age to nearly twice its proportions
in the twenty years this contest
has operated. Its inception came
about through economic necessity;
its continuous operation has induc-
ed the creation of a half hundred
contests throughout the States and
Canada, brought into being all of
the record of performance work
row conducted by the several States
and forced the breeding of birds
capable of virtually doubling the
yield of the average farm fowl.
Few eggs are exported from this
country; with the exception of the
few exported, every egg is consum-
ed here and great numbers of eggs
are imported, mostly from China.
Despite this fact, the per capita egg
consumption in the United States is
below that of Canada.
The hen industry of American
farms runs well over $1,000, 600
annually; Pennsylvania, in 1880. re-
turned to owners of its 20,000000

Total resources of the State

than one million dollars during the
three months period ending Septem-

The quarterly report of il. w.

shows on June 80, the total re-
sources were $172,320,813 and on

Considering the depression this is
considered an excellent showing for
the banking institutions of the State.
The report shows that on Decem-

were $169,706,123 and. consequently
although there was a decrease dur

DOCUMENTS HERE
FROM ENGLAND
Evidence In Dispute With New Jer-
Sey Over Boundary Rights

Attorney General Reuben Satter-

old English documents which Della
ware will produce as evidence in
the dispute over boundary rights
with New Jersey in the Delaware
River. The papers have been turned
over to former Attorney General
Clarence A. Switzerland, who is as
sociated with Mr.. Satterthwaite in
the case.
The documents are copies of
grants made by Charles II, of Eng
land to the Duke of York. They are
expected to prove the claim of Dela-
ware that the boundary of the State
is the 12mile circle with New Cas-
tie as the center.
Location of valuable oyster beds
depends on whether the claim Of
New Jersey or Delaware is sustain
ed. These oyster beds are valued at
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and are claimed by both States.
The certified copies of the rec
ords from England will be offered at
