New Method of Cleaning
Oats Increases Yield

Madison, Wis.-Dry cleaning of
seed oats is in fashion now.
After four years of experimental
ton, James G. Dickson and b D.
Leith of the agricultural staff of the
University of Wisconsin have found
that the use of dust fungicides in
treating oats for smut results In
higher yields than does the formal
dehyde treatment.
Dipping the seed in formaldehyde
solution, unless done with extreme
care, may result in damage to the
seed. these Investigators reported.
They found that formaldehyde dust
containing 7 per cent more formal
dehyde, mixed with the oats In dust
tight containers or cement mixers,
is better than the dip treatment,
and can be made several DAYS In
advance of sowing.

VICTIM
OF RUM FEUD
InnOcently Takes a Drink of
Liqucr PLANTED" For OPP
posing Gang
INQUIRY IS ORDERED

Out Of the secrecy of Worcester
county's tight-lipped clans, there
came the story Friday from POGO
moke City, Md, of how little David
Tyndale, Z, was killed by poisoned
liquor innocent victim of a boot
leggers' feud. David, whose home
is in the heart of the rum-running
and moonshine belt Of the Eastern
Shore, was thrown into convul-
sions by a taste from a fve-gallon
can he found in a car near his
home He died within an hour "A
physician said he found enough
poison in the child's stomach ITO
kill 10 men" The rum was poison
ed, according to report, to trap hi
jackers who were stealing liquor
from a rival gang. Though the
boy died on Sunday, no attempt
was made by county authorities to
arrest anyone. A Coroner's jury,
which some residents charge was
packed" failed to reach a deci-
sion A new inquiry will begin
this week at Pocomoke City.
Groups of aroused citizens from all
parts Of this country and neigh
boring Accomac county in Virginia
will attend and demand action. No
word Of the boys death leaked out
of Worcester county until Friday
after farmers, businessmen and
residents demanded that States
Attorney Godfrey Child take steps
to apprehend the guilty gang. If
caused the child's
death I shall fight them until the
end" said Child. Il am one Of
fetal who will fight the liquor
gangs, and they know it." The
section in which the tragedy occur
red is only a short distance from
Snow Hill, the Little Cicero" of
the Eastern Shore. 1t is believed
to be the center of rum running
activities between the Maryland
coast and Northern points.

WHEATCROP
AND CONTROL
Federal System TO Aid Farm
ers Explained at Sew
eral Meetings
FARMERS EAGER TO SIGN

Farmers about Smyrna-CIayton,
Dover, Middletown and Townsend
have been much interested in meet
ings held recently to talk over and
have explained the Federal plan
for control acreage Of wheat crops.
a rousing meeting was held in the
Smyrna Fire Hall Tuesday even
ing of last week at which Kent
County Agent Russell E. Wilson
talked to about 200 representative
farmers Of this vicinity on the Fed
eral wheat control plan. a similar
meeting took place in Dover on
Thursday. Farmers Day at Della
ware Beach, several thousand
farmers heard the system explain
ed In New Castle County these
meetings are arranged by Ed Will
liam, County Agent, and in Kent
County they are looked after by
Russell E. Wilson, County Agent.
Both these county agents have
been appointed wheat administra-
tors by Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace to look after the interests
Of the Federal Government in these
two counties, and they are supplied
from time to time with able speak
ers from the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, who are in
position to explain the Federal
plan in all it's details. At Della
ware Beach the whole afternoon
was devoted to meeting of the
wheat farmers. County Agent
Willim gave the talk himself and
showed by charts the amount of
wheat grown in the U. S. and the
rest of the world, with prices re-
ceived for this grain since 1910.
The prices, his chart showed, in
creased until slightly after the
World War, and then have declin-
ed steadily until 1888. Another
chart, exhibited by Mr. Willim
showed in graphic manner the
wheat growing acres of the United
States, picturing the wheat belt on
the Tooth meridian through the
center of the nation. He explain
ed that the United States is grow
ing more wheat than domestic
consumption can dispose of. The
same holds good of Russia, Can
ada, Australia and Argentina.
Europe, he brought out, formerly
imported wheat, but since the war
has raised more wheat The wheat
production from 1928 to 1881 was
increased by one-third, he said.
and in the face of this, tariff walls
have been raised barring United
States wheat. AS an example, he
cited Germany, which has a tariff
rate of S1.6O per bushel. This
year, he continued, the United
States had approximately 100000
600 bushels of wheat carried over
from last year to be placed on
present day markets. Off-setting
this, however, the 1889 wheat crop
is the smallest since 1893, Mr.. Will I
linn said, adding that a normal crop
next year is probable.
Wheat CdntrOi Plan Explained
Following his chart presentation
of the wheat situation, the County
Agent told Of the wheat acreage
control plan briefly as follows:
Benefits Of 80 cents per bushel
less administrative costs in the
county, will be paid to all wheat
growers on their 1888, 1884 and
1885 crops, providing they sign a
contract to reduce their acreage
up to 20 per cent if required, for
he 1894 and 1885 crops. This

that is used for -four, etc, and
does not take into consideration
the grain which goes into feeds
and for seed. This human con
sumption amounts to "a per cent
Of the yearly domestic crop. Acre
ages and production for 1880, 1881
and 1882 viii be used to find the
average acreage and production
for every farm in the county.
Fifty-four per cent of this three
year base production will be the
allotment for that farm on which
the benefit payment Of 80 cents,
gross. will be paid. Each county
has an allotment which cannot be
exceeded. For New Castle the av-
erage production of the five year
period 1928-1932 was used. This
726,0OO bushels average each year
for that period was multiplied by
"a per cent to calculate the county
allotment Of $4,000 bushels. Every
grower who signs the contract will
get his average percentage of this
county allotment. Due to the fact
that the New Castle county five
year 1928-1932 production was
greater by about 5000 bushels
than the three year 193O-1932 base
period, each farms allotment
would be increased one per cent.
In other words, after the three
year base period average was
found, this would be multiplied by
101 per cent to get the adjusted
base, and then the allotment for
the far mwould be figured as 81
per cent of this adjusted three year
average base" Indirect benefits,
that is, other benefits aside from
the 30 cents per bushel, would in
some cases, amount to more than
the actual cash benefit Some of
these indirect benefits presented by
the speaker are: III Crop insur-
ance; ~ lower crop production
cost; 81 parity insurance; "a
other use of the land taken out of
production; and (5) possible reduc-
ton of less than 20 per cent of the
land to be taken out of production
Farmers to Get Application Blanks
Agent Willim said after the edu-
cational meetings have bene held
and every wheat grower had an
opportunity to hear the plan ex-
planned, wheat application blanks
will be put in the hands of every
wheat grower. The growers who
sign the application form will meet
and organize for every community.
A committee of three will be elect
ed for each community by other
growers who have signed up to
follow the plan. One of these
members will be chosen as the di-
rector of that community for the
board of directors of the County
Wheat Control Association. The
Board of Directors then meet, are
sworn in as u. S. officials, and they
elect their president and other Of I
cials of the county organization.
They select a county allotment

tons and give each farm its proper
