WITNESS SAYS
'
DELAWARE RUM
IS HIGH GRADE
Federal Agent Declares
Delaware's 'MOOnshine'
Meets Favor In Jersey.
BOUGHT 5 GALLONS

Delaware "Moonshiners" make a
high grade product, which goes
over big" with North Jersey boot
leggers, it was revealed by Federal
Investigator Spering in his testi-
mony in the case of the U. S. against
Elwood Marker, of Wyoming, before
U. S. Commissioner Albert F Polk,
in Wilmington ON Monday.
Investigator Spering, who said he
had contracted for five gallons of
moonshine from Marker last week.
testified he had posed to Marker as
a moonshine buyer from Jersey, in
teresting in making regular pick
ups" of Delaware Moonshine for the
"boys back near Newark"
81 told him Jersey couldn't make
good moonshine," Spering testified
before Commissioner Polk, "and that
Delaware moonshine was okay. | also
told him that if his moonshine was
good, I'd come back and buy about
25 gallons a week"
Investigator Spering's testimony
confirms what has been known for
some time, that Delaware moon
shine, always considered by chem
lists, unusually fit for human con-
sumption, is bought up IN large
quantities by buyers" who take the
stuff to Newark and nearby Jersey
towns. There, the moonshine is doc
tored to taste like imported liquors,
bottled in fancy containers and sold
as the real stuff.
Spering testified that when he
first made contact with Marker, he
gave Marker references in Newark,
presented him with. $5 as deposit
for five gallons and fixed date for
the delivery of the goods.
81 promised to pay SIS for the five
gallons" Spering told Commissioner

TESTS HERE SHOW
WHEAT INCREASE
WHEN FERTILIZED
County Agent Snyder
Says 1t Pays To Use
Proper Aids To Growth.
TEST NEAR MILFORD

Sometime lago more than 5000
wheat growers in the middle wes-
tern and eastern states reported to
the National Fertilizer Association
that the use of an average of 100
pounds of fertilizer per acre result
ed in an increase of nine bushels of
wheat. At the prevailing prices of
wheat and fertilizer at that time
there was a return of $276 for each
dollar expended for fertilizer. With
wheat at so cents a bushel and fer
tilizer at present prices, the return
for each dollar expended is about
$2.g5, not counting the increase in
price due to improvement in quality
which is by no means an unimpOr-
tant item.
The use of fertilizer is good crop
insurance, especially in those years
when Hession fly injury or winter
killing is severe. Seeded after the

Relief Board Meets;
Studies Local Needs
Discuss Subject Of Aiding Unemployed During Fall
And Winter Months. Study Wilmington Plan
Used Last Year To Assist The Needy.

Important matters pertaining to
the relief for the unemployed and
their families in Delaware during
the fall and winter were discussed
at meeting of the State Unemploy-
ment Relief Commission held in the
State House Friday afternoon. This
is the commission named some
weeks ago by Governor Buck and he
attended the session on Friday. The
commission will meet again in Dow
er today and it is expected that all
data relative to the unemployed and
the needs during the fall and win
ter will be in by that time.
The Wilmington report presented
was concerned chiefly with the meth
DDS by which some 34OO families, av-
eraging four members each, are be-
ing cared for through, the expendi-
ture of $4,000 worth of groceries
every week. The problem of fuel for
these families during the fall and
winter and early spring also was
discussed in the report.
The State Commission, all of
whose members attended the meet
ing, studied the report on the Will

mington relief methods. Supple
menting the report from Wilmington
was a letter from Mayor Frank C..
Sparks pointing out some of the
probable needs in Wilmington this
fall and winter
The Wilmington report was also
taken up to a large extent with the
average amounts spent in relief per
individual and per family in food and
rent. The handling of food orders
on neighborhood grocers and ar
rangements with landlords for pay
ment of rent or partial payment of
the unemployed, also was discussed
in the report. The probable amount
of money needed for taking care of
the needy in Wilmington through to
the late spring of 1888 was estimat-
ed in the report. The amount was
not disclosed, but probably will be
