HOMEMAKING GROUPS PROVIDE
HEALTH INSURANCE

! Many families in Kent county will
be we'll nourished this next winter
because of the splendid home gar
dens grown this year. Those inter
ested in providing families with food
cannot think of gardens simply as
summer source of food. Some of
the minerals and yitamins in the
foods must be stored away for win
ter use.
Extension groups all over Kent
county have been much interested in
this thrift measure and with the help
of Miss Pearl Macdonald, Nutrition
Specialist from the State College,
and Miss Louise r. Whitcomb, Home
Demonstration Agent, canning meet
ings have been held in nearly every
organized community to acquaint
the women with the latest and cas-
lest methods of canning. To reach
those not attending groups, window
displays have been put in local stores
in seventeen communities. Attrac-
tive jars of canned goods with apprO
pirate posters urged that every effort
be made to fill the winter pantry
shelves and so stretch the family
income. Over 800 copies of the lat
est government bulletin on canning
were distributed through the cOur-
tesy of the storekeepers so many
were reached outside of local clubs.
A typical community canning
meeting was held at the Church Hall
at Downs Chapel on Thursday, Sep
tember 9th. From ten in the morn
ing until five at night the women
brought tomatoes, corn and beans
and all worked together to prepare
them With the help of pressure
cookers and two wash boilers over
so quart jars of these products were
before night. A good
days work for a small group of wO-
men. Laws community also had re-
Gently an afternoon lesson on can
ming with Miss Macdonald as dem
Onstrator.
The canning season will soon be
over and the clubs will be started
again on their regular fall programs.
But many a family budget will have
cause this coming winter to thank
he foresightedness of these women
who are so valiantly struggling to
stretch every dollar and yet insure
heir family the proper nourishment
and health for this coming winter.
Information on canning methods
nay be obtained at the Extension |
Office, Dover, over the postoffiCe.

which it represented Delaware in
Congress.
It pledges "a continuance of rec
ognition and support of disabled
war veterans and their families"
1--WE commend President Hoover, "
the platform states, ION his stand
that war debts shall not be cancel
led for the reason that this would
mean the transferring of this bur-
den to the backs of the American
people"
Delaware Bridge Urged
The platform also favored a
bridge. across the Delaware, which
has been opposed by the city of Phil
adelphia. 1--WE believe" it says, "the
construction of a bridge between
the States of Delaware and New
Jersey is such self-liquidating
public work as is contemplated by
the relief act of the Congress of the
United States, and favor a confer
ence of representatives of the two
States for the consideration of this
subject"
AS finally approved the platform
also contains a plank urging a
change in the Federal Constitution
to permit the states to determine
their own policy with respect to in
toxicating liquor. Opposition to the
interference of states rights in the
matter of prohibition, by other
states is voiced. The return of the
saloon "evil" is opposed.

"The notion is based on the belief

"It is clear today that public opin-

TREATMENT OF SEED
s j., WHEAT OS IMPORTANT


AS it will soon be time to SOW
wheat in this section of the country
those farmers whose crop this veal
was infected with stinking smut and
who received a dockage on the mar
ket because of smutty wheat should
/ give special attention to the cleaning
and treatment of the seed as an in
surance for a clean crop next year
according to warning which has
! been issued recently to. all wheat
growers in Kent county from the Of
flee of County Agen Russell E. Will
son.
Although the present market
prices for wheat and the prospects
for higher prices in the near future
are not very inducive to the spend
ing of much money on next years
crop, farmers should avail them
selves of every opportunity to pro
duce the highes quality of wheat pos
sible at the lowest expense, and the
treatment of the seed is one impor-
tant step in the economic production
program.
In a circular letter which was pre-
pared by J. F. Adams, plant patho-
logist of the University of Delaware
and the State Board of Agriculture,
and which accompanied the circular
letter that was sent out by County
Agent Wilson to the wheat growers,
emphasis was placed upon the inn
portance of cleaning the seed before
it is treated, and the results which
have been obtained in this state with
the dust materials in preference to
formaldehyde in the control of sink
ing smut.
Either of the dust materials on the
market today will give satisfactory
results if the wheat is treated in re-
volving barrels or drums, or in pow
er treating machines, where the dust
will become evenly. distributed over
the grains. The recommendations
for treating wheat have not been
changed from those of previous
years in that it is being advised that
either of the dusts be used at the
rate of ounces to each bushel of
wheat.
For the past seven years the treat
men of seed wheat for the control of
this disease has been regarded as
one of the major projects in the pro-
gram of work for Kent county, and
as a result of this campaign effort
this practice is being followed by
about so per cent of the wheat grow
ers. This disease, however, is still
prevalent in many wheat fields each
year to the extent that it is neces-
sary that warning be issued every
summer and fall in regard to the
of seed treatment for the
production of wheat of better quail
ity.
The harvested crop in Delaware
FOR 1882 showed the first general de-
crease in all three counties which
las been experienced for several
Years, while surveys in the state this !
year also indicated a marked de- |
;rease in the maximum amount of !

MARKER

Horace Marker, 10, of Ga Irving
place, Stapleton, met death on
weekend motorcycle tour of north
ern New York State. He died short
ly after he had been thrown from
his cycle against an automobile trail
er. Physicians said his neck was
broken. Young Marker, Edward
Bruter, Is, of Fort Wadsworth and
Steven Beinert, 20, of Glove road,
Concord, left Staten Island shortly
after midnight Saturday. BY 10:30
o'clock they had passed Athens, N.
Y, and were riding toward Cox
sackie on State Highway 9-W. Mark
er and Bruter were driving their mo-
torcycles side by side. AS they ap-
preached a curve, the handle-bars
locked Bruter was thrown toward
the right, into a ditch by the side of
the road. Marker was hurled toward
the centre of the road, against the
side of a trailer attached to an au-
tomobile travelling in the opposite
direction. Bruter, who was unhurt;
Beinert and the automobile driver,
Alfred Jeffs of st. Augustine, Fla,
picked up the injured youth and car
ried him to the side of the road. They
summoned help but an ambulance
could not be obtained until an hour
after the accident, it is reported. The
physician who arrived in the ambu-
lance from Coxsackie pronounced
the youth dead. The body was taken
to a Coxsackie undertaker's place
and later Sunday carried to Staten
Island. Young Marker is survived
by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Marker, and two brothers, Charles,
Jr and George. A funeral service
was conducted in the Marker home
