cd to the State treasurer. The col
lection of $12,320.72 not only sup
ported the laboratory entirely with
out expense to the State, but together
with the balance returned from the
appropriation provided the sum of
$93010 over and above the expenses
of the laboratory, towards the sup
port of the other departments. This
is the second year that the State
Board of Agriculture has supported
the laboratory without cost in the
State; and, this year, the services
rendered by the laboratory to the
people of the State, free of charge,
were increased to include important
work in the testing of apples for the
spray residue.
"NO serious outbreaks of cOntagi-
GUS diseases occurred in the live
stock of the State during the fiscal
year, although rabies was more pre-
valent than in the past few years.
over $4,000 cattle are now under
the supervision in Delaware for the
eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
This includes practically all of the
cattle in the State. Every milk sta
tiOn in the State now requires that
the milk come from tuberculin test
ed cattle, and most of the City
Boards of Health into which Della
ware milk is shipped make the same
requirement, which means that the
cattle must be tested in order for
the milk to be sold.
"Under a law passed by the 1881
Legislature, an appropriation of $25,- !
900 was provided to pay the veterin-
arians for retesting those herds of
cattle whose certificates expire dur
ing the fiscal year 1931-S2 and an |
of 100000 was made |
for the same purpose for the fiscal
year 1928. This appropriation was
made to relieve the farmers of Della |
ware of the expense of keeping their |
own herds tested after they were ac-
by the State"

HITS MORALITY
OF SHORE FOLK
[Conlinned f,Om FHa Paael


fenses offered for the lynching af-
forwards"
AS cOntributory factor, Professor
Mitchell cites in his report that geo.
graphical isolation of the cOmmun-
ity resulting in rather backward con-
ditions. The chief explanation given
/ by the residents Of the community
for the lynching, he says, was that
/ two serious crimes in which negroes
were accused had occurred in the
locality shortly before and had arOus-
ed public feeling. Professor Mitchell
makes a frank criticism of the atti-
tude of the community as a whole
saying that two Weeks after the
lynching the place was rife with ex-
cuses for the hanging, if not, indeed,
full of justiiications of it."
This attitude of self-defense was
stimulated by the criticism of Sails
bury which came from other parts
of the State. The sectional feeling
was increased when a Salisbury
newspaper stated that the Eastern
Shore, on which Salisbury is located,
feels that the greater part of the re-
spOnsibility for it (the lynching) re-
suits from the interference of Balti-
more city in the affairs of the
Shore. ="
Prof Mitchell points out that he
found only two citizens who had
made any effort to prevent the lynch
ing. .t.,..
The conclusions of Prof Mitchells
study are summarized as follows:
"In a sense, the Chesapeake Bay
contributed to the lynching in Sails
bury. That is, the Eastern Shore is
isolated geographically, and has be-
come backward in it's mental and
spiritual development. 1t is probably
true, as one of the writers prominent
in the controversy over the lynching
has said, that the Eastern Shore has
suffered from the removal of many
of it's ablest young men. Allowing
this to be true, it still must be said |
that the most sOrrowful reflection is |
not that some ignorant countrymen
and tOwnsmen gave way to violence, /
but that no one from among the in
telligent and fair-minded citizens eX-
erted himself with spirit and deter |
to stop the lynching. Credit
should be given to the two citizens ,
mentioned in the full report) who !
opposed the mob-one by protest
ing before the hanging occurred, the |
other by trying to prevent the bar
barism of the burning.
"If it be said that it occurred too :
quickly, it is to be answered that
there was probably knowledge i'll the
town an hour or more before hand |
that trouble was brewing. And if 2
private citizens are to be excused, /
.he officers of the law have no eX-
;use. 1t may fairly be concluded
hat the chief of police, his three
Datrolmen who were on duty and the
sheriff and his deputies, offered no
resistance to the lynching. The I'M
was received by the inquirer
hat the public spirit of Salisbury is
or below what is desirable. Those :
whom one would expect to be leaders !
IL u crisis decided to fall in with the
gnorant, the preiudiced, the fright
,ned, the sullenly boastful."

KENT COUNTY DAIRY
FARMER IS HONORED
[Continned from Frsl Faael


The first farmer in Delaware to
receive this award was Frank c.
Bancroft of Kent county in 1927. In
1928 this honor was accorded to Oil
yer c. Newton and Warren C. New
ton of Sussex county. John D. Rey-
nolds of New Castle county was
awarded this distinction in 1929 and
last year this award went to Frank
w. Richardson of Kent county.
In territory lhere many of the
outstanding agricultural careers
have been devoted to fruit growing,
Mr. Moffett has remained loyal to
dairying and grain farming as his
principal interests, although he has
devoted small acreage to tomatoes,
potatoes and grapes. His dairy
herd includes twenty-five head of
accredited Holsteins, nearly all of
which are purebreds while his grain
farming consists of comparatively
large acreages of wheat and corn.
In addition to being a progressive
and business-like farmer, Mr.. Mof-
felt has man youtside interests such
as being a director of a local bank,
a trustee of the Kent county aims
house, a director of the Delaware
Holstein-Friesian Association, and
an active member of the grange.
There is nothing spectacular about
his methods of farming, however,
except that he has followed the
practice of carrying on his business
almost entirely on the cash basis.
Through his success in farming and
his willingness to lend a hand to
help others by his civic, organiza-
tiOn and personal interests he has
justly won this honor of being one
of Delaware's master farmers.

The wilmington units made an aver
age of So per cent and those outside
the city 95 per cent. The State reg

ance of at least so per cent.
Due to the fact that the appoint
ment of the commanding officer of
the Second Battalion, to succeed
Lieutenant Colonel Duncan is a regi-
mental proposition, the successor of
Major Duncan may come from either
the first or second battalion. Among
those mentioned are Captain Wal

Captain John w. Davis, of Whining

Colonel Schulz has had a notable
record with the Army and National

Mexican border, in 1916, and attend
ed the Second Army officers, tarin-
ing school, at the start of the war
with Germany. He served with the
59th Pioneers, in France, as first
lieutenant, during the war. Later,
on his return to Delaware, he took
an active part in the Delaware Ma

the National Guard was re-organized
here as the 19Sth Coast Artillery, A.

next summer may bring. Normally,
in the Northwest a season of heavy
snow is followed by abundant mois-
ture in the spring and summer.
"There has fallen in the North
west this year considerable snow,
and now laymen, with their weather
eye discerning conditions which au-
ger well for large soil production
next spring and summer, are fear
full lest the signs go awry again in
1882. There may be scientific eX-
plantations, but the facts are patent
that the weather for eighteen
months has been entirely undepc nd
dable."
One statement in particular
caught the attention of Mr.. Bliss.
Until the shift in the course of
highs and lows Of atmospheric
pressure, authorities were able TO
measure successfully the average
speed of movement Of storms from
the Canadian Northwest into North
west United States and predict with
fair accuracy the general character
of the weather"
Mr.. Bliss said that there is no
doubt whatever that the shifting of
highs" and lows" had everything
to do with changes in the weather,
just as high" and lows" have
everything to do with the complex
ion and condition of the stock mar
ket. A "high" he explained, is an
area of high atmospheric pressure
and "low" is an area of low pres
sure.
I'm analyzing a problem of this
sort" he said, 1--WE must first con-
slider that the Northern Hemisphere
receives a constant amount of heat
each year, varying with the seasons.
of course, but totaling the same for
each year. The seasonal variations
are also practically constant"
The whole thing, he added, is a
matter of distribution of heat, the
circulation of the air carrying warm
masses of air into some sections of
the earth and cold into others.
There are even recognizable "distri-
button centers" or regulators"

But this high does not remain
stationary, it wanders at times" he !
added, land when the crest of the
high moves westward. and the |
increases under the crest,
it invariably causes marked rises i'll
temperatures in the United States,
either in winter or summer, so long
as this condition exists.
"Of course, no one con tell when
it will move or anticipate such
thing. If we could, we could fore
cast such occurrences as the mild
weather of this year. But we can
not foretell this to the extent of
the weather for an entire
season.
But there are no indications of
or permanent change in
the climate. There are normal con-
ditiOns in weather as in almost
everything else. When they are nor
