SEED CORN TESTS
IN THIS VICINITY
Results Obtained on Farms of
Howard C. Deakyne and
Clifford Clark
COMPARISON OF YIELDS

For the past six years demon
strations have been conducted on
a number of different farms in
Kent county for the purpose of
calling the attention of corn grow
ers to the economic value of treat
ing the sed with dust disinfectants
to control seed borne diseases, in
addition to producin gmore solid
corn and improving the quality and
yield. This project has been car
ried on under the direction of
County Agent Russell E. Wilson in
cooperation with DR.. j. F. Adams,
plant pathologist of the University
of Delaware and the State Board
ofAgriculture, and during the past
wear seed treatment demonstra-
tions were conductedon the farms
of Howard C. Deakyne and Cliff
ford Clark in the Smyrna and
Kenton areas, Frank Coyerdale
near FELTON,, and Dewey Sapp near
Houston. The yield calculations
in these demonstrations each year
have been made by weighing a
small amount of corn from q given
area in both the seed treated and
check plots. The average yield Of
corn from the treated areas on
these four farms this year was
56.3 bushels per acre, as compared
to 50.8 bushels per acre from the
untreated plots, resulting in a diff
ference of SIS bushels to the acre
in favor of seed treatment. Al
though this increase in yield per
acre is of Importance to the carry
ing out of the program of eco
nomic production, the greatest ar
gument in favor of sed treatment
is the reduction in the amount OF
Gull and soft corn at harvest. Or
the Sapp farm it was observed
that only 4 per cent Gull corn was
found in the treated plots, as com
pared to 8 per cent in the checks
while in the other three demonstra'
tions it was estimated that there
was from 8 to per cent more cul
corn in the untreated areas. As
matter Of comparisons of the yielC
results of this project for the pas
six years in Kent county, it hai
been observed that each year tn
treated seed has produced NOR
corn per acre than has the untreat
ed seed, with anaverage increas

PRINCESS ROYAL TO BE SCRApPED.
Steamer Popular in Klon- dike Days to En
 Colorful Career

VANCOUVER B. C., Feb. 24- Another link with the colorful past in British Columbia and Alaskan shipping will be severed next month when the steamer Princess Royal of the Canadian Pacific Railways British Columbia Coast steamship fleet will be scrapped after 25 years of service.
 Survivor of a famous trio of ships which included the Princess Beat rice and Princess May in the Brit ish Columbia-Alaska service during the earlier years of the century fol- lowing the spectacular Yukon gold rush when the North country was rapidly unfolding it's wealth to an ever-inereasing army of pioneers, the Princess Royal witnessed a great portion of the Northland's interesting history.
 In Klondike Days
 In her earlier days on the Alaska run she was the carrier of bearded, high-booted min CTS, sleek, we'll [ dressed faro dealers, merchants and traders, Royal Northwest Mounted policemen and all the other as- serted gentry who traveled back and forth from Skagway to Van couVer. In her strong boxes was gold dust from the Klondike and Bonanza Creek and the old ship witnessed the humor, tragedy and high adventure which characterized the northward trek for gold.
 Built at Victoria
 The Princess Royal was built by thei British Columbia Marine Rail- way at Victoria, B. C., in 1907. She was of timber construction, length 228 feet, beam 40 feet, draft loaded 15 feet and speed IA knots. In her day a veritable luxury" liner she carried 500 on day runs and slept 164 on night runs.
 Originally designed for Northern British Columbia and Alaska serv- ice she first went into the North run with the old Princess Beatrice and Princess May. When the Princess Sophia came out in 1912 the Princess Royal was withdrawn from the Alaska run and used on local routes cut of Vancouver and Victoria. For a time she was in the overnight service between the ! two British Columbia cities.
 On Many Routes
 1 As she became more or less out moded by smart sisterships in the British Columbia coast steamship fleet, the Royal developed into a sort of floating jack of all trades. Tn 1926 and 1927 she operated on the Vancouver, Powell River, Union Bay, Comox route and in April, 1928 replaced the Princess Beatrice on the Vancouver-Powell Riyer-Co- 'mcx run with the exception of periodical transfer to the Vancou-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-02-24

yer, Victoria and Gulf Islands run. A commodious ship the Princess Royal was unfailingly popular with regular travellers and old timers will recognize in her passing the disappearance of another reminder of the past.
 During her 25 years of service many officers of the British Co., lumbia coast fleet have served commands on her, among them Capt. c. D. Neroutsos, now Man ager of the British Columbia Steam ship Service who once was her captain.

DO THEIR BEST TO
 AIDEACH OTHER
Wheeler and Woolsey Co., operate to Make Caught
 Plastered Funny

With cooperation and team work the slogans of the day, it Is interesting to note the relationship of Bert Wheeler and Robert Wool sey, comedy stars, declares Will liam Setter, who directed their lat est success, Caught Plastered, z which will be previewed at 1 a. m tomorrow night at the Capitol the atre and which will begin showing regularly Thursday night.
 They have appeared together in seven successive triumphs, and have become famous comedy pair on the talking picture screen Setter said, solely because of their gen. erosity towards one another and their consideration for each others success.
 No Semblance of Jealousy
 'At least a dozen times during the filming of this production Woolsey came to me with gags which he believed would be the funniest in the world ...... If Wheeler were allowed to do them.
 But don't get me wrong" he cautioned. I'm not trying to pre- sent them as Damon and Pythias,' nor to imply that they carry their cooperation to extremes
 Each of them is well aware of his capabilities. If Wheeler has a line which he thinks would be fun nier if Woolsey with his particular gift of batter, should say 1t, he suggests such a change immediate ly If, however, he believes that he can speak one of Woolsey's lines better than Woolsey, he also says so,
 Appreciation Is Mutual
 ''In that lies the real depth fo their mutual appreciation. Tn such g circumstance, Woolsey will, think for a moment, null the matter over and say yes or mo- just as he honestly believes. Reverse the sit- uation and Wheeler does the same. One might say, I believe, that their tremendous success is due to frank ness and honest desire on the part
