KENT'S GROUP
OF ADVISORS
Hold a Council Meeting in the
Office of Russell E. Wilson,
County Agent, at Dover
TALK OVER YEAR PLANS

An important meeting of the
Kent county advisory council was
held in the office of County Agent
Russell E. Wilson on Thursday Of
last week, at which time the re-
suits of the extension activities for
the past several years and the pro
grams of work for the future were
discussed IN detail with regard to
the different projects, and with
special consideration to the eco
nomic production of all farm prod
ucts and the placing of farming on
a better business basis. Although
the cooperation which the county
agent has been receiving from the
various agricultural organizations
which have been formed in the
county and state within the past
has been very satisfactory, there
has developed a need for the organ
ization of small group of farmers
who would be more closely associ-
ated with county agent work, and
upon whom the agent could depend
for advice and suggestions in the
planning and conducting of the
program of extension work each
year. This group, which was or
ganized a year ago in Kent county,
has been called the county advisory
council, and it is composed of seven
members who have been selected
on the basis of their knowledge of
and interest in extension work, as
well as their ability to interpret
those economic factors which have
become involved in the solution of
our many agricultural problems
under the present economic condi-
tions throughout the country. The
present personnel of this advisory
council includes Ed Willim, Dover;
J.Frank Rice, FELTON,; Dewey Sapp,
Frank B. Austin, Mil
ford; Arthur F. Walker. Woodside;
Howard c. Deakyne. Smyrna; and
A. c. Darrah, Clayton. With the
exception of Mr.. Sapp, all of the
of the council were pres
ent last Thursday at this meeting
which was also attended by Direc-
tor G. A. McCue, Assistant Direc-
tor A. D. Cobb, and H. S. Palmer.

JAY VAN PELT HAS ACCIDENT
Falls From Fourth Floor of Wei
fare Home Building Near Smyrna

Jay Van Pelt of this town, had a
miraculous escape Saturday morn
ing at 9.15 o'clock when he fell
from the fourth floor Of the Medical
Center Building at the Welfare
Home being constructed on site
near Lake Como, this town. No
one saw the accident, therefore it
is not known at this time exactly
how it happened. He and Court
ney Gaulke of Smyrna Landing,
were throwing lumber off the build
ing from the fourth floor It is
supposed that in throwing a piece
of lumber, it caught in his overalls,
thus, taking him along with it.
Gaulke missing VanPelt from the
floor, looked down and saw Van
Pelt lying on the ground. Asking
if he had fallen, he shook his head,
yes. He was picked up and taken
to the Office where the American
Legion Ambulance was summoned
and hastened him to the Kent Cen
eral Hospital at Dover. It was
found that he suffered four fractur-
ed vertebraes and a bone injury to
his right foot, besides the severe
shock. At this writing, his con-
dition is good and is getting along
as nicely as could be expected
VanPelt is in the employ of Walter
Wykoff, a sub-contractor of Phila-
delphia, Pa.

What's on Other Side?

One OF them. in all probability,
never will be solved until man learns
TO navigate space by rockets. 1t is
the question of what the other side
Of the moon looks like.
The moon rOtates upon its own
axis in exactly the same time that
it revolves about the earth. The
result is that it always keeps the
same face turned toward the earth.
We assume that the other side
looks about like the side we do see.
But We don't know.
Another important question, as
yet unsolved. is what is the moon
made of? More exactly. the prob
lem resolves itself into what the
surface of the moon consists Of,
since there seems little chance, at
this time, of penetrating the sur
face.
Believed Covered With Ash
One of the latest theories adj
vanced is that put forward by Lyott
of the Meudon Observatory near
Paris. Lyot thinks that the surface
of the moon is covered with thick
layer of volcanic ash.
Lyot arrived at this theory by a
study of moonlight. Moonlight, OF
course. is sunlight reflected from
the surface of the moon. Lyot tried
rejecting sunlight from various sub
stances and analyzing the resulting
light. to see how it compared With
moonlight.
He reflected sunlight from all
sorts of roCks-granites, sandstones,
chalks. etc. He also tried rejecting
sunlight from different varieties OF
sands. clays, soils and the like.
He found that moonlight was like
none of these reflected lights, but
that It was almost exactly like the
light which was obtained when sun
light was reflected from volcanic
ash.
Since the surface of the moon is
covered with a vast profusion OF
craters which resemble extinct vol
canoes and which have, in the past,
been assumed by many astronomers
to be extinct volcanoes, Lyotts the
orv is not at all unreasonable.
The theory also helps to explain
other things about the moon.
The moon is subjected TO terrific
changes in temperature because
there is no atmosphere on the moon.
Consequently the moon gets the full
force of the suns rays in the day
time. And at night, there is no at
mosphere to hold in the heat which
was received during the day.
Temperature of 1874 Degrees
Doctors Seth B. Nicholson and
Edison Petit of the Mt. Wilson OBJ
servatory made temperature meas
urements of the moon with Their
mOcouple.
They found that the lighted sur
face of the moon had a temper
allure of 1874 degrees Fahrenheit.
But when the moon entered the
earth's shadow and the sunlight was
cut of from its surface, the temper
ature fell TO 152 degrees below zero.
Now such violent temperature
changes ought to cause the rocks
of the moon to expand and contract
with resulting breaking and crum-
bling Yet there does not seem to
be much evidence for that sort of
thing.

HOLDS POOR TIRES
CAUSE OF M|SHAPS.
Local Dealer Cites Insurance
Company Report Az Proof
of Statement

Accidents In which defective tires
are involved are on the increase In the
United States, according to M. B. Gil
man Co., Goodrich tire dealer here.
"One Of the major insurance COM
panies has recently completed a re-
port covering automobile accidents
occurring during the first four months
Of this year." Gilman said.
TT was found that 7500 deaths fol-
lowed motor accidents In that period
with poor tires causing an increase OF
one-third over corresponding figures
Of year ago."
'At least 10 per cent more cars now
have one or more dangerously poor
tires than was the case two years ago.
These facts represent one reason
for the recent upturn in tire produc-
ton and sales, according to the Good
rich management.
1T is also true, however, that many
people are delaying the purchase Of
badly-needed new tires in the effort
to secure the maximum number OF
miles possible from their old castings.
This dangerous practice is certain
~ reflected in the accident report just
released.
Hot weather usually causes the
most serious tire failures, which is one
reason why Goodrich introduced the
