tary of State, the State High

each year the technic of
the inspection service has
been improved and no WA per
cent, practically all of the mo-
tor cars in the State, are sub
mitted for inspection in the
six weeks period from the
middle of July until the end Of
August"
Encouraging indeed is the
report that motor clubs, auto
mobile trade associations, gar
ages, service stations, and the
like have joined with the Of
fetal agencies at a recent
meeting of DR.. Stine's Public
Accidents Committee to make
more effective this common
sence plan for the elimination
Of dangerously unfit motor
cars from our streets and
highways.
'For many years good plant
housekeeping has been the
keystone of industrial safety
accomplishment, and frequent
inspections Of plant equip
ment are held to insure safe
ty. Just SO is the necessity
for inspection of our motor
vehicle equipment annually by
officials of the State govern
ment.
Indeed the sanity Of the
plan and effectiveness of the
work are so evident that
many enlightened motor cal
operators submit their cars
regularly to service stations
for mechanical check-up."

SELECT CLEAN
WHEAT TO SEED
Harvesting Season Drawing
To Close and Farmer Will
Be Saving Seed
GOOD SEED is NEEDED

Within the next few weeks most
of the wheat in this section of the
country will be threshed, and dur
ing the harvest season many farm
ers will be selecting their seed
wheat for the coming crop, and
great care should be taken in the
selection of only clean seed in or
der to avoid as much as possible
the spread of smut and other dis
eases which have resulted in severe
losses to the wheat crop in previ-
Gus years. For the past nine years
wheat smut control campaign
has been conducted in this state
under the direction of DR.. j. F.
Adams, plant pathologist of the
University of Delaware and the
State Board of Agriculture, in CO.
operation with the county agents,
and during this period some inter-
esting results have been obtained
showing the economic value of seed
treatment for the control of this
disease. The method of treatment
which has been recommended each
year is the use of dust disinfect-
ants which are very effective if
properly applied to the seed. Ac-
cording to surveys which have been
conducted in Kent county each
year by County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, the amount of seed wheat
that has been treated for the con-
troll of stinking smut during the
past nine years has increased from

800 bushels in 1925 to 25,448
bushels in 1888 This amount of
wheat was sufficient to plant ap-
proximately 1900 acres, or about
40 per cent of the average wheat
acreage in Kent county for the
past five years. The quantity of
seed wheat treated has varied from
year to year, for in some years the
stinking smut has not been as pre-
valent as in other seasons, but each
summer warning has been issued
from the county extension office to
all wheat growers in regard to the
Importance of seed treatment for
the prevention and control of this
disease. Seed wheat which is Sc
lected at harvest time may be
treated with any of the recon-
mended dust disinfectants, anC

LIQUOR AND TAXES

Some agitation is being
started to have the next Con-
gress to pass stricter laws and
with it to reduce high liquor
taxes so as to make it harder
for the bootlegger to exist.
Concerning the subject, the
Milford Chronicle says
However people may feel
about the fiercely discuss
ed questions Of liquor, it is
generally agreed that a very
large trade in bootleg stuff is
still being conducted. High
taxes on legal liquor make it
possible for the bootlegger to
thrive.
"The person who is not in
terested in liquor and cares
nothing for it, does not see
the things that are going on
under his not very inquisitive
nose. He discerns the results
when he sees some pitiful
drunk staggering along the
walk. But the many trucks
operating in the darkness of
night, the confidential call of
the bootlegger on his custom
ers, the constant soliciting of
business in quiet whispers,
the furtive slipping of hand
some fees to police officers in
many cities, these things are
not done in any noisy way,
and are not obvious.
Producers of legal liquor, il
is claimed, will be able to re.
duce prices before long, which
should help drive out the
bootleg trade. But Uncle Sam
apparently handed Mr.. Boot.
logger a handsome present
when he decided to place high
taxes on the new legalizeG
trade.

Sales of Old Jewelry

New York.-The value OF old gold
lying Idle In American homes Is be-
lleved TO surpass the output OF all
the gold mines In the world for an
entire year; that gold Is valued at
$500. 100000.
A drive to recover old gold. car
ried on In Britain some time ago,
brought to light over half a million
dollars worth of the precious metal.
America Is believed TO have an
even greater store. A gold rush Is
now In progress throughout the
United States with millions OF peo-
pie searching for their old fash

The large refining houses are re-

TO local jewelers., who later send 1t
to the rehners. The shipments vary
from a single ring, or old watch
