URGE BETTER PULLETS
FOR MORE PROFITS
Fourteen Poultry Farmers In Kent
County Work For Better Stock

Taking into consideration the fact
that to raise a healthy and profit
able flock Of pullets is the desire of
every poultryman, and since this is
particularly true during these times
of unstable agricultural conditions
when production and operating costs
must be lowered, special effort is
being made this year by the eXten-
sion service of the University of Del
aware to assist the poultry farmers
in the state to improve their fiocks
by the use of healthier chicks and
by practicing better methods of flock
management.
This project is being conducted on
a statewide basis under the direc-
tion of H. S. Palmer, extension poul-
tryman of the University of Della
ware, in cooperation with the State
Board of Agriculture and the county
agricultural agents. The support of
the poultry Taisers is being solicited
in order that accurate records may
be secured from number of farms
to show the results of certain rec
commended practices in the produc-
ton of high quality pullets which
will develop into profitable layers.
According to County Agent Russell
Z. Wilson there are fourteen poultry
farmers to date in Kent County who
are cooperating with the extension
service in this campaign for better
pullets, and these fourteen farms
represent a total of 1887 chicks
started, all of which are of the White
Leghorn breed. Records of the NOR

State Convention must file their
names with the county chairman
and secretary ten days Before the
holding of the primary.
The plan has worked successfully.
Under the system used by the DEM
ocrats, the rank and file of the vot-
ers have no choice in the selection
of the delegates. The plan has pre-
vailed among Democrats for many
years for a small cOterie of men in
each district to get together and Sc
lect the delegates and serve up the
ticket to the voters whether it was
pleasing or not
The rank and file of the people
throughout the county are desirous
for the adoption of a rule whereby
all will have to file who desire to go
as delegates.

NEW FLOUR MILL IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Plant Burned Tuesday Night Was To
Have Opened For Business Saturday

Y A new flour mill, which the owner
had planned to open for business to-
morrow. was completely destroyed by
fire on Tuesday evening, with a loss
of several thousands of dollars. The
building, a three-story frame struc-
ture, had been erected by Thomas
Best, who recently came to Milford
from Lewes. The entire machinery
equipment was in the building when
it was burned. The cause of the fire
is unknown. It was discovered by
James Smith, who resides opposite
the mill on the Shawnee Road just
across the DUPONT Boulevard. He
turned in an alarm and the Carlisle
Fire Company layed string of hose
but the building was beyond saving
when the firemen arrived. The loss
is partially covered by insurance.
The fire was one of the largest to be
seen in the vicinity of Milford in
recent years. The flame leaped high
into the air and we're visible for sew
eral miles

Determined to keep their Repub-

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
his running mate, Speaker Gar
ner, today we're agreed upon a
smashing offensive that will keep
them busy from now until elec-
ton.
The vice presidential candidate
was an overnight guest Nt the
executive mansion, his second
visit here since he and the gov
ernor were selected as the Dem
ocratic Standard-bearerS at Chi
cago.
Speaker Garner will spend most
Of his time in Washington, keep
ing weather eye on the last min
ute efforts, of the Republican Ad-
ministration to turn back the
Democratic tide.
Reports that President Hoover
will wage a vigorous speaking cam.
paign from now on failed to ruffle
the confidence of the Democratic
leaders.
Garner merely smiled when re-
ports were called to his attention
that the Democratic National
Committee was anxious to keep
him off the stump.
He Cites History
Garner conceded that in the
past the Democratic vice presi-
dental candidate usually did more
campaigning than the presiden-
tial nominee. He added with a
wry smile.
"And they generally lost"
The Roosevelt advisers here
were more than pleased at the
fact that AL Smith has definitely
decided to campaign in Massa-
chusetts for the Democratic ticket.
With the Happy Warrior" on the
firing line, the board of strategy
feels that Roosevelt has an excel
lent chance to capture two and
perhaps three of the New England
