that the prosperity of the City of
Milford is due in the past.
The creators of each of these bus
inesses have led in creating every
enterprise that employed labor the
entire year, and advocated every
city improvement.
Milford needs more practical bus
mess enterprises with public vision
ed men behind them for citizens;
not men who come to Milford as a
comfortable place in which they
may die.
The men who get results are the
men worth while TO any town or
city like Milford,
Milford is all right-if the selfish
political element is held in subjec-
tion. The attempt to control jobs for
any faction-other than to get good
business results for all the people
will be a failure.
Just play an honest game with
the people who adopted the new city
charter, by living up to its require
ments, and there will be good feel
ing all around.
No double-crossing the people by
nullifying the charter.

No change has been made in the
law since the 1881 reports were fill
ed. However, the rates of tax which
were reduced so per cent by procla-
nation of Governor Buck on 1881
incomes, remain at the full! rates on
the 1882 returns. The rates in ef-
feet on 1882 incomes are l per cent
on the first $4,000 in excess of the
personal exemption and credit for
dependents; 2 per cent on the next
$1,000, and 8 per cent on the re-
mainder. Forms for the year 1882
make no changes in the method of
reporting. Only persons whose in
comes are derived from sources of
salaries, interest and dividends are
permitted to use the small form No.
POI, while persons with income from
sources other than these, will find 1t
necessary to use the large form con-
tanning schedules on which to prop
erly reflect income from rents. cap
ital gains or losses, or from busl-
ness or profession.
Some delay is anticipated In deliv-
cry of the blanks through the use OF
~ cent stamps as second class
mail, rather than the customary

of this step is expected to offset any
delay which may be caused by the

have been in production for several
months. For this reason therefore,
this project was changed last year to
include the recommendation for
raising better pullets with the prop
er amount of vitality and health for
developing into profitable layers In
the flock.
The purpose of this extension
project has been to. combine the
practices included In the grow
healthy chicks campaign with those
as recommended in the grow better
pullet program in an effort toward
the time the chicks are hatched un-
til they are ready to be placed in
the laying houses.
In 1882 County Agent Russell f.
Wilson secured records from 20
poultry farms in. Kent county, and
It is planned to obtain similar re-
ports from these same farms this
year in order that the results will
be more comparable. The poultry
men who cO-operated in this work
last year included Frank C. Ban
croft, B.. D. Chase, +. r. Benn, j. II.

son. of Houston; Frank P. Walker,
near FELTON,; Voclay Walter, Anthony

Assistance in this project was given
at various times during the past year
by H. s. Palmer, extension poultry
man of the University of Delaware,
and H. r. Baker, poultry disease
pathologist of the State Board of
Agriculture and many visits have
been made to poultry farms other
than those from which records were
secured. This field work each year
has presented an opportunity for the
county agent and specialists to study
the poultry situation from every
possible view point, and with the |
continued cooperation of the poul |
try raisers some results can be OBJ |
tanned that will help to improve the |
poultry industry in this section of |
the country.

AS an example. Max Cohen told
the following story:
"The Carob tree is a tree grown
IN the Orient which bears the fruit
called st. Johns Bread. The tree
does not begin to bear fruit until it
is 20 years old. One day farmer in
the Orient was planting Carob tree
and a passing traveller stopped to
watch him. Finally. the stranger
said, Don't you think it ridiculous
to plant such tree when you know
that it will be 40 years before the
tree will bear fruit" In reply the
farmer said. 81 am not planting this
tree for myself. | am planting 1t so
that the future generations of my
family may eat the fruit. In fact,
am now eating the fruit of a Carob
tree that was planted in yonder fell
by my great grandfather"

Dr. and Mrs. Charles E.

 Hearing from friends who had been in Alaska, something of it's character, the Farrs added trip here. to an extensive tour of the states which included the Worlds Fair, Los Angeles, Agua Caliente, the Redwood Highway and Mount Rainier.
 They have been much impressed with the scenic wonders of AL aska. The abundahce of fish and game is a source of wonderment to them. Taku Glacier, White horse rapids, Rainier N a t 10 n Park and the California Redwoods are the outstanding lights of their long tour, according to MT. Farr, giving Alaska two of the thrillers.
 The Farrs will leave in few days for Sitka, Campbell River in British Columbia, Lake Louise and
