MARYLAND GAMERS
CUT PRICE OF PEAS
Growers In Kent County, Nd, VIII
Be Paid $40 Less Per Ton

Farmers residing in Kent County,
Maryland, will receive a very large
reduction in the price for which they
will deliver peas to the factories
this year. Last year the Gamers
paid $50 a ton for peas delivered at
the factory. This year the Gamers
are paying only $40 per ton, and the
acreage to be planted will be less.
Realizing the fact that business con-
ditiOns throughout the nation have
made it necessary for the Gamers
to make the cut, the farmers gener-
ally have accepted the new price
without a kick. Reports from both
Kent County and Queen Anne COun-
ty state that the growers are coop
Grating with the Gamers in their eff
forts to operate their plants this
year.
In Delaware the growers are be-
ing asked to accept a cut in the con-
tract price for peas. At Milford one
factory paid $50 per ton last year.
This season they are offering $45
per ton, a drop of SIS. While some
few of the farmers are kicking about
the price offered, but many of them
are signing the new contracts. A
smaller acreage will be planted than
last year.

ARGUE new TRIAL
MOTION IN APRIL
IN ELLISON CASE
Say He Will Ask Arrest
Of Judgment In Quo
WarrantO Action
PAPERS NOT FILED

1t was learned at Dover this week
that motion for Il new trial and an
arrest of Judgment in the quo war
rantO proceedings instituted by ].
Austin Ellison in Kent County Su-
periOr Court had been extended until
the April term.
In an opinion handed down by the
court Tuesday of last week, it was
decreed that Col. Weller e. Slower
rightfully holds the office of adju-
tant general, despite EllisOn's claim
that no vacancy existed last July
when Governor c. Douglass Buck
appointed Col. Slower to succeed Ell
lisOn.
Failure of Governors to send the
name of Ellison to the State Senate
for confirmation since his appoint
ment November 10, 1920, primarily
resulted in the opinion of the court
on Tuesday that Il vacancy existed at
the time of Col. StOver's appoint
ment.
Although no papers have been fill
ed, it also was learned that the time
limit for the signing of the bill of
exceptions on behalf 0f-Ellison had
been extended until the April term.
James r. Morford is attorney for
Ellison in his long drawn out court

States adjutant general while At

BEFOLLOWED TO
ASSIST FARMERS
New Plan For University
Extension Calls For Local
Area Conferences
WORK STARTS SOON

In an effort to be of the greatest
possible service to the farmers and
their families in assisting them in
the solution of some of their many
farming problems, new plan of
conducting agricultural eXtensiOn
work will be launched this spring
under the direction of the extension
service of the University of Della
ware in cooperation with the State
Board of Agriculture.
This plan will consist of holding
local conferences about once each
month in different sections of the
state, to which the farmers and all
others interested i'll agriculture will
be invited to attend and discuss their
questions of insect and disease con-
troll, economic production, adjust
men of farm enterprises, and other
subjects with Representatives Of these
departments. The outstanding fea-
ture of these conferences will be that
they will differ from former agricul-
tural gatherings in that they will not
be in the nature of a meeting, as no
speeches or any definite programs
are being arranged.
The first of these local agricultur-
al conferences for Kent county will
b held in the Tophy Grange Hall in
FELTON, sometime within the next two
weeks, and as soon as a definite date

NEGRO WOMAN KILLED
In AUTO ACCIDENT
Mary L. Young Found Dead In Over
turned Car On Shawnee Road

Mary E. Young, colored, aged
about 30 years, was killed in an au-
tomobile accident last Thursday
morning when the car which she
was driving overturned on the Mill
ford-Greenwood road. She was the
wife of Charles Young. The woman
had been to Bridgeville where she
had taken her boy to school and
was returning to Milford when the
accident occurred. There were no
witnesses to the affair, but the gen
eral belief is that she lost control
of the car and that it overturned.
Passing motorists found the wreck
ed machine and upon investigation
saw the woman. She was badly cut
by flying glass and was dead when
the Milford Emergency Hospital
ambulance arrived at the scene.
There was a rumor to the effect
that the car had been overturned by
a hit and run driver, but there seems
to have been no evidence to bear out
this theory.

RECORD WINTER

Weather Bureau Predicts
RecOrd-Breaking Warmth
Will Still Continue
DROUGHT IS BROKEN

The 1882 American travesty en-
titled winter, has twenty-four days
more to run on its calendar contract
before folding up on an astonished
audience which has been left alter
nately warm and cold - mostly
warm.
Then comes spring, facing a bad
spot on the bill because most of its
scenic effects already have been
stolen and used by the longwhisk-
cred old man who lost most of his
usual bluster in staging his three
month show.
Tho Weather Bureau commenta-
tors at Washington, D. c., who keep
tabs on the cycle of the seasons,
won't wait for March 81 to write off
the winter performance as one
breaking records of a hundred years
standing. Their spring begins March
1, an dthey are just as well satisfied.
Warmth to Continue
Never have they used up so much
paper and ink jotting down the
idiosyncrasies of winter gone mad.
Heat records, cold records, wet rec
ords, snow recOrds-all kinds of rec
ords have been put down in the
books,
February marks the sixth month
of abnormally warm weather. And
it probably will continue abnormally
warm until after March 21.

George N. Davis has returned to
Delaware confident that during the
three weeks he spent in London eX-

found evidence to support Della

Mr.. Davis and Dudley c. Lunt

of Attorney General Reuben Satter-

New York from London on Satur-

The trip to London was made for
the primary purpose of determining
whether the land grant of Charles
III of England issued March 12, 1852,
to the Duke of York was ever sur
rendered. The grant is for land de-
scribed as within the twelve-mile
circle radiating out of New Castle.
Mr.. Davis said that he found con-
elusive evidence that the grant was
never surrendered to the Crown as
New Jersey contends and also found
evidence that the grant now in the
State archives at Dover is the origi-
nal grant which was issued.
