The muskrat trapping is still
satisfactory in number of catch

still low, being at so cents whereas
formerly they brought an average
of about S100 and therefore much
more encouraging to the trapper
who makes tiresome trips on the
marshes every day. The trappers
are hoping for the pelt price to ad-

MORE SERVICE TO FARMERS
Local Area Conferences to Be
Held by Extension Department

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, a new plan of
conducting agricultural extension
work will be launched this spring
under the direction of the exten-
sion service of the University of
Delaware in cooperation with the
State Board Of Agriculture. This
plan vii consist of holding local
conferences about once each month
in different sections of the state,
TO which the farmers and all 9th
er interested in agriculture will be
invited to attend and discuss their
questions of insect and disease
control, cultural practices, eco
nomic production, adjustment of
farm enterprises, and other sub
jects with representatives of these
departments. The outstanding fea-
ture of these conferences will be
that they will differ from former
agricultural gatherings in that
they will not be in the nature of
meeting, as no speeches or any
definite programs are being ar
ranged. The first Of these local
agricultural conferences for Kent
county viii be held in the Trophy
Grange Hall in FELTON, sometime
within the next two weeks, and as
soon as a definite date has been
arranged notices will be mailed
from the Office of county agent
Russell z. Wilson to all the farm
srs in that area. The excellent
cooperation which the members of
Trophy Grange are giving the ex-
tension department in this pro-
posed project is shown by their Of
fer to have their hall used for this
purpose for one day each month,
and local committee including ].
Frank Rice, Robert H. Greenlee
and George Branghurst has been
appointed to cooperate with coun-
ty agent Wilson in planning and
conducting these conferences. In
addition to the county agent, the
extension service will be repre-
sented at this first conference by
II. S. Palmer, extension poultry
man, and DR.. ]. F. Adams, plant
pathologist, while H. r. Baker,
poultry disease pathologist, will
represent the State Board of Agri-
culture. If this local conference
plan proves a success in the FELTON,
area, and the farmers take ad-
vantage Of these opportunities to
bring their problems in for discus
sion, in all probability similar con-
ferences will be scheduled in other
sections Of the county in the near
future, and various members Of
the extension department and the
State Board of Agriculture will be
present to discuss with the farm
ers those questions which pertain
to their respective communities.

two ineligible players. Rooney of Fin

boy living half way between two posts

board stated Rooney was ineligible
because he did not play with that
post.
Enderlin protested that the state
rule contradicted the national rules
which provide that posts may draw
from the territory served by the post"
but the board held Enderlin's terri
tory did not extend into Fingal as
long as Fingal has a post and there
fore the state rule does not conflict
with the national rule.
While the eligibility of two players
was questioned by the protesting
teams, Enderlin was disqualified for
playing Rooney, one violation of the
rules being enough to throw out the
victory.
