had enough money to buy a small

built a roadside market stand so
that he might receive a higher price
for his farm products. The work las
proven so successful that a second

vately owned enterprise under State
control. If that plan should fail, Mr..
dupont added, it will not be difficult
to turn over complete control of
sale to the State.
so far, the conduct of the liquor
business in this State has led me to
believe that a careful check on the
liquor sold together with proper su-
pervision of requirements concern
ing places of all, is all that is nee
essary at present." Mr.. dupont has
stated.
"The sale of spirits should be
more restricted than the sale of
beer, but the restrictions should not
be such as to prevent any group of
people from obtaining what they
wish to consume in lawful manner,
without interference with rights of
Others"
The granting of licenses for hand
ling liquor will be done somewhat
i'm the manner as licenses were
granted for the sale of beer. except
that a more rigid investigation will
be made for liquor permits.
1t is further explained by liquor
commission officials that applicants
will be iudiciously examined and the
fact that they have once been con-
victed for bootlegging need not be
counted entirely against them.

ADVICE is GIVEN ON DAHLIA
TUBERS

Dahlia stubers may be left in the
ground until after frost, but they
should be taken up before the ground
freezes, says A. NJ. S. Pridham, of
the Department of Horticulture of the
New York State College of Agricul-
ture.
AS an aid in controlling tarnished
plant bug, the small metallic col
ored insect which stings the leaf
bud and causes "dahlia stunt" Prof.
Pridham suggests that the tops of
the plants should be cut off at the
surface of the ground and burned
before the tubers are dug. Also, he
advises the removal of all weeds
and garden trash which might har-
Dor the insect during the winter.
Dahlia roots require cool, humid
storage conditions such as potatoes
or carrots need. A temperature of
40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit is salts
factory. If the air in the storage
room is dry, the tubers may be
packed between layers of damp sand
in barrels. Better results are OBJ
tanned, he says, by storing each
clump of tubers intact.
Spring planting time for dahlias
comes between the fifteenth of May
and the first of June. When divid-
ing the clumps of roots for plant
ing see that each tuber has a small
section of stem on which there are
one or two good buds, or eyes.
The tuber should be planted in
such a way that the bud is not more
than two inches below the surface
of the soil. Placing the bud at this
depth, he points out, will promote
rapid growth of the new plant.

MOSQUITO CONTROL
HEAD EXPLAINS PLANS

GCOHiiHHed from FnH Pagel
try to adapt them to suit the owners
convenience so as not to break up
the marsh hay and make the cutting
more difficult.
Mr.. Corkran particularly requests
owners of any marshes interested in
going over them, to see the foremen
at the camps as soon as the camps
are established.
Owners of marshes from the
Broadkill southwark, should see n
p. Newhouse, of the Lewes camp and
for marshes north of the Broadkill
see Earl Potter, at the Slaughter
Beach camp.
The mosquito control work will
start at the Broadkill River, the
Slaughter Beach Company working
northward and the Lewes Company
working southwark, and depending
upon the distances of any owners
marshes from those starting points
they can get some idea of how long
it would be before their land is
reached.
They anticipate that the rate of
progress of ditching by these unex-
perienced c. c. c. men will probably
be about 100 acres per day for each
company after they get started.
Mr. Corkran and his associates
have spent several days this week
going over all marsh areas in an en-
deavor to form their ideas as to the
best manner of ditching in these Sec
tions. About November Mr. New.
house and Mr.. Potter will begin the
actual laying out of these bitches
on both sides of the Broadkill.

- HE cold weather Of
hI this week indicated
that farther north and
west the winter
- weather had arrived
in earnest. True stories of the
sleet and snow storm in Penn
sylvania on Sunday and snow
and ice most anywhere in the
north bring our reaction to
storm windows and doors, fur
coats and other means of
warmth. Soon one will hear of
this one and that one planning
a trip to warmer place. But
this is ideal football weather
and many forget about the dis
comforts when they watch their
favorite teams play. Our high
school boys have not had a
100 per cent average, but they
play hard and even if they come
out at the short end of the
score, the effort is there and
much credit is due them for
that.

Northwestern Loses
To Fighting Hawkeyes

Chicago. Oct. 2.-lP)-Iowa's Hawk
eyes, beaten underdogs Of Big Ten
football warfare for four long years,
snapped the championship hopes Of q
i1ighly -touted Northwestern team with
an astounding TO victory Saturday.
Banked since 1929 In conference
competition and rated as Just another
underdog this season, the Hawkeyes
battled the Wildcats into almost
feeble submission, outplayed them
easily, and then clinched q long
sought victory In the final period ~
Joe Laws raced down the sidelinea
for 80 yards and the only touchdown.
The big hero, standing out ike a
beacon. was Z l90-pound sophomore
Dick Crayne. The husky Hawkeye
ran the amazed Wildcats breathles,
with lightning dashes and probably
would have dashed over for -four
touchdowns except for q soggy field
that stopped his progress.
