SEED WHEAT TREATMENT
PROVES SUCCESSFUL

OF the many projects of a long
time nature which have been in.
cluded in the program of work fol
Kent county, none has shown a wild.
er spread of influence than the cam.
paign which was started in the
summer of 1925 relative to the treat
ment of seed wheat for the control
of stinking smut.
This project was organized on a
statewide basis under the direction
of DR.. j. F. Adams, plant pathOlOg-
list of the University of Delaware
and the State Board of Agriculture
in cooperation with the county
agents and interested grain dealers
and growers, as the result of the Sc
we're prevalence of this disease in
the wheat crop and the heavy dock
age which the farmers had been re-
ceiving for smutty wheat on the
market.
When this smut control campaign
was launched in 1925, and for the
next three years thereafter, twenty
two method demonstration meetings
with a total attendance of 1856 farm
ers were held in Kent county by
county agent Russell e. Wilson and
DR.. Adams, who demonstrated the
practical methods for treating wheat
and the Importance of farmers fol-
lowing this practice. For the past
three years, however, this project
has been carried on entirely by
means of such extension agencies
as the public press and mimeO-
graphed circular letters to all wheat
growers.
In order to determine the results
of this smut control campaign a
survey has been made each year of
the pounds of dust materials which
have been sold by the various deal
els and distributors in the county,
and an estimate has then been made
of the acreage that has been sown
with treated seed. In addition to
visiting these distribu-
tors contacts have also been estab-
lished with the owners of the two
POI table treating machines which
have been in operation in this county
for the past three years, and as a
result of the 1881 survey it was
learned that 5305 pounds of Copper
,arb and 2O6 pounds of Ceresan, or
4 total of 5511 pounds of dust had
been used by the wheat growers in
Kent county last year.
AS the recommended rate of appli-
cation for each of these dusts is two
ounces to a bushel of wheat, it has
leen estimated that 44,08S bushels
we're treated for smut in this county
Turing the 1881 season, and this
luantity of seed was sufficient to
plant 29,392 acres. According to the
$3.50 fran census the wheat acreage |
n Kent county in 1929 was increas-
ID over that of 1924, but it was con-
'iderably lower than reported ten
,ears ago. In 1929 this county pro-
luced 46,413 acres of wheat, as COM |
pared to 42,300 acres in 1924, and 54,- |
'89 acres in 1913, or a reduction of |
1916 acres since the 1920 farm CEN
JUS was taken.
The results of this smut control /
work. for the past seven years, how
,ver, have indicated that on the
early average there have been 95,- |
80 bushels of seed wheat treated,
With a corresponding planting of
g, 1854 acres, which is approximately
% per cent of the total wheat acre
ge for the county.

GAIN LAST WEEK
HELD IN PART
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Oct. l G.N.SO,
The market will end an uncer.
tain week today. Many in Wall
Street are disappointed, having
expected better things.
Others can truly point out that
stocks have had a lot to contend
with. what with weakness in com,
modities and threats of receiver,
ship for the Nickel Plate among
other things.
Gains Partly Maintained
So far a good part of the
gains scored in the rally a week
ago Wednesday have been main,
tanned, which is something. Firm.
ness at the close can be at
tributed largely to short covering
for the weekend and the Jewish
holiday today.
1t can be said, though, that
the market can't go on being
indecisive very much longer. 1t
will either have to get better
convincingly before many days
have passed or it will meet lot
of selling.
For the time being, wait and
see, and stay away from the
short side.
Many Stocks To Watch
From the traders point of view,
the stocks to watch are those
which have shown most activity
and sponsorship in the recent Ses'
sion. These are United Aircraft
Case Threshing, Lackawanna and
Montgomery Ward. Two are so
called wheat stocks.
Others that will naturally do
things either up or down include
United States Steel, Telephone,
Du Pont, General Motors, Chrys.
ler, Westinghouse and Consolidate
Gas. It's a long enough list for
anyone to play with.
Steel is coming more into the
limelight. There is the untitled
tonnage report in 10 days. On
top of this are rumors Of big
orders, most of which are prob,
ably in the maybe stage.
Much Talk of Du POnt
There is a good deal Of talk
about Du Pont, too. The latest
rumor is that the company is to
manufacture milk bottles made of
cellophane. If true, it will be en-
tering big field.
General Electric is expected to
announce substantial orders for
copper and other raw materials
soon, as was done by WeSting-
house the other day.
The late squirt in cotton yes
terday was interesting. 1t may be
just one of those things, or it
perhaps will develop into another
extensive advance, as some smart
people believe.

DUSEK TACKLES

a. Gino Garibaldi and Rudy
Dusek have been matched for the
feature wrestling bout of Pro
moter Joe Turner's card at the
Washington Auditorium Thursday
night.
The semifinal attraction will

three 30-minute preliminaries will

Tiger Nelson, Dick Daviscourt
and George Vassell and Milo
Steinborn and Ernie Dusek.
Dusek and Garibaldi wrestled
at the Griffith Stadium several
weeks back and their contest
ended in an unsatisfactory man
ner. The referee counted out
Dusek as he tried to scramble
back into the ring and Garibaldi
was declared the victor.
Ever since then, Dusek has be-
Seeched Promoter Turner to ar
range a return meeting with Carl
baldi. The latter was willing but
previous engagements commanded
his attention. He found an open
ing on his assignment book for
Tuesday night and gladly accepted

with q very large adverse

that country, with interest and
dividends on foreign holdings
greatly cut, with reparat;Sns
gone and with refugee funds
about to leave, France faces
important gold OutflOwS.
"Under such circumstances
a rise in world prices would
be welcomed by France. The
alternative prospect of adjust

in France to curtail tOO-lOng-
