By Alfred S. Laurence
In writing Of DR.. George Will
liam Lay, one might well enlarge
on several of his many activi-
ties and interests. For thirty
one years he was a teacher, and
as such was a recognized leader
in the field Of education. He
was an excellent organizer and
administrator; st. Mary's S
School was in a very shaky con-
dition when he became rector
he left it on a solid foundation,
and one of the best schools in
the country. In the days when
Public Health and Public We'll
fare were new in this state. he
was a strong advocate of these
causes, and he spoke and wrote
from facts and not from opin-
ions. He was a real authority
in Church music. Without call
ing himself a scientist, few men
were better acquainted with the
findings Of modern physical sci
ence than he. He was careful
philologist, and it was this study
especially that he pursued dur
ing his years in Chapel Hill.
But more important than his
interests were two characteris-
tics that stood out in everything
he did: thoroughness and accur-
acy. Never could he be satisfied
with anything superficial. What
ever study he took up, he made
every effort to get to the bottom
of it. He had the real scientific
spirit and the real scientific hu-
mility; always able to say This
thing | know" but never ready
to say of any subject Il know it
ALL"
Many teachers get into a rut,
and teach the same thing in the
same way year after year. DR..
Lay never did. Always he

tracked on fTOUIDlLIOH. L OuI
wears ago he described the 18th
amendment as a noble expert
ment and declared his belief
that Il should be retained and
enforced He now declares it
to be a failure
A political leader is not just
ly to be criticized for changing
his mind. and for him to yield
to public opinion does not con-
vict him Of lack Of sincerity and
courage. For. after all, what
the public thinks about q law
is an important element in the
determination Of whether or not
the law is d good one Es-
pecially is this 50 in d matter
which concerns the habits Of the
people the very heart Of the ar
Pument about such a project as
national Prohibition lies in the
degree to which public opinion
approves the project. # il
is not approved by clear
and Overwhelming majority,
throughout the country as a
whole, it is, by reason Of that
fact alone, an unenforceable and
therefore a bad law
The last two Or three years
have brought rising tide Of
antaqonism to national Prohibi-
ton, and now the evidence is
abundant that this sumptuary
enterprise has nothing like the
popular support that is neces-
sary TO It's success. This being
recognized by Hoover as by
other men, he does well to advo-
cate the abandonment Of the
18th amendment as it now
stands.
The trouble with his latest
pronouncement is that he does
not propose complete repeal Of
the amendment. He palters with
the problem. Instead Of meet
ing the issue squarely, as does
Roosevelt, he suggests a compro-
mise which is manifestly de-
signed to attract the votes of
both the vets and the dryS. In
short. he writes himself down as
an opportunist.
1t is my conviction" he says,
that each state shall be given
the right to deal with the prob
lem as it may determine, but
subject to absolute guarantees in
the Constitution of the United
States to protect each state
from interference and invasion
by its neighbors, and that in no
part Of the United States shall
there be a return to ;the saloon
system"
In the phrase of the late
Theodore Roosevelt, these are
weasel words.
1t is fair enough to demand
the prevention of shipments of
liquor from a wet to dry state
probably that purpose can be
achieved without aid from the
Constitution, but, if a Constitu-
tional provision is needed, there
can be no valid objection to it.
Of very different character,
however, is the proposal that
the federal government regulate
the liquor traffic within the
states. This would be TO con-
tinue the interference with
state governments, the meddling
and snooping, and the bribery
and corruption which have
made national Prohibition the
futile and vicious thing it is.
1t is no business of the people
of states in the remote South
and West to say whether or not
there shall be saloons in New
York, New Jersey, and Massa
chusetts. The states of New
York, New Jersey, and Massa-

course, all apple trees in blossom
time are picturesque and not all Of
the large orchards are located on
concrete highways, but Delaware's
system of highways is such that it
is possible to view hundreds of
acres without getting off the con-
crete road. The principle CONNER
cial producing sections are located
in the Wyoming, and Bridgeville
districts. If only a short trip is
desired, il is suggested that the
visitor travel south from Dover to
Canterbury, turn left at Canter-
bury to Magnolia, and return via
dupont Boulevard from Magnolia
to Dover. This trip covers about
18 to 20 miles and the route passes
through an important fruit section.
If longer trip is desired, the fol-
lowing route is suggested. Travel
south from Dover to Bridgeville,
turn left on the concrete road just
south of Bridgeville and go to
from Georgetown to
Nassau, and return to Dover via
Milford and Frederick. BY taking
this trip it is possible to view many

chard is also located at Cheswold,
five miles north of Dover. This or
chard contains approximately 500
acres of bearing apple trees. There
is also a large orchard located on
the road leading from Millsboro to
Oak Orchard and many large or
chards are located off the concrete
highways both in the Bridgevil1e
and Dover sections. The orchard
lists in this state take particular
pride not only in the beauty of the
blossoms themselves, but in the
intense cultivation of the soil. 1t
is indeed wonderful to see the large
number of orchards in Delaware
when the trees are in full bloom.
They are well pruned, fertilized,
and the ground is cultivated and
practically free from weeds. There
are thousands of acres of apple
trees in Delaware which are in full
bloom at this time, all of which
are well worth seeing. IF any one
desires additional information, DR..

T. Derickson, State Board of Ag-

to give the location of the many

FEDERAL LOANS
FOR CROPS ENDS
Saturday Next, May Ia, the
Last Day Applications
Will Be Received
r. E. WILSON GETS WORD

A statement has been received
by County Agent Russell E. Wilson
from the Farmers Seed Loan Of
flee in Washington, D. c., to the eff
feet that all applications for crop
loans through the United States
Department of Agriculture for this
year must be filed in the county
extension office on or before May
IA, which is the closing date for
all loan applications in Delaware.
The last date on which these ap-
plications would be accepted this
year was originally set for April
30, but this time has been extend
ed by Secretary of Agriculture,
Arthur M. Hyde, under whose
authority these crop loans are be-
ing made in accordance with the
act of Congress, as approved Janu-
ary %, 1882, which provides en-
ergency financial aid to agricul-
ture, commerce and industry under
the direction of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. In making
these loans to farmers the Federal
government takes a lien upon the
crops growing or to be grown on
the land described in the applica-
tion, and each applicant is required
to sign promissory note for the
full amount of the loan, payable to
the Secretary of Agriculture on or
before November 80, 1882, with in
terest at the rate of 5 1-2 percent
per annum. No loan for crop pro-
duction will be made to any one
farmer in excess of 400, and the
total amount of loans to the ten
ants of any one land owner in a
county shall not exceed 1900. If
the applicant for loan is tenant,
or is farming under contract for
deed or so-called crop contract, or
has given a prior mortgage on his
1882 crops, a waiver of lien must
be secured from the land owner or
landlord and all prior mortgage
holders. If the applicant is the
owner of the land and farms it
with tenants or share-croppers,
waivers of such tenants must be
secured before the loan can be con
sidered. When any crops are sold
from the farms on which this Fed
eral money has been loaned, the

ment or diseases, while Mr. Will
