years instead of two years was sign
ed. by the Governor.
To assure continuance of the mos
quito control project in this State
the House by unanimous vote Mon
day afternoon passed Speaker Lyons
bill to provide for the creation of q
permanent commission to have
charge of this work. Eradication OF
the pests has been carried out by the
two Civilian Conservation Corps
Camps and in urging favorable &C.
ton on his measure Speaker Lyons
explained there is a possibility that
two more such camps will be located
here by the Federal Government and
this bill has been designed to enable
the State to do what the government
requires to insure these additional
camps being sent here.
The last General Assembly passed
bill creating the Mosquito Control
Commission but the terms of the
members were limited to is months
and as the act was approved in No
vember, 1888, these terms will ex-
pire May 29th this year. At the same
time the funds set up in the orig
inal act will have been exhausted.
It is pointed out in the Lyons bill
that the work of the present COM
mission has been of great benefit
to the citizens of the State, espe-
cially those living on or near the
shores and water courses of the
State" and that lit is desirable that
similar commission for the con-
troll and elimination of mosquitoes
should be created to maintain the
work already done and to continue
and enlarge its operations"
Five On New Board
The new board will be known as
the Mosquito Control Commission
Of the State of Delaware" and will
consist of five members to be named
by the Governor on or before
May 20. One shall be selected from
the staff of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station of the University of
Delaware; one from the State Board
Of Health and the other three at
large but not more than three can
be Of the same political party. Two
shall be appointed for a term of
three years, two for two years and
one for one year and thereafter
their successors will be named for
terms Of three years. They will
have to serve without pay.
The commission will be authorized
TO employ; an executive OFFICER and
engineer.
Speaker Lyons said the Federal |
Government, through the two CCC |
amps here. had expended about
iSS6,000 in Delaware in the last year,
which camps cost the State CSly
800 a month and he thought this
vas good investment. He said the
amps have eliminated the mos
uitoes in and around Lewes and

still selling lower than yellow stock
in some markets owing to ordinary
quantity of most remaining white
onions.
CARROTS OF old cabbage are mostly
from western New York at present
although few cars of mid-western
cabbage are still reported weekly.
Cabbage has been selling at $1.4O to
$l.75 per S0-pOund sack in eastern
markets. Sales of bulk cabbage in
/ the Rochester, New York, district
range near $35 per ton, showing a
slight gain since the first of the
month. Southern cabbage also sells
at firm prices, reaching S55 to $50
tper ton bulk at Texas shipping
points. Northern markets are ir-
regular on southern stock, showing
no definite trend of prices.
No change is reported in the price
OF carlots and parsnips in the large
markets. They are quoted soc to

Absence Of carlOt shipments of

good demand for the northern hot

large markets.
Carlot movement of apples is de-
creasing from nearly all shipping
sections. although much fruit is
coming out of local cold storages at
this season. Some markets appear
more literally supplied with oranges
than with apples and competition
has been unusually severe despite
the somewhat irregular quality of
eastern citrus fruits since the vari-

BUSY AND HAPPY
Helen Gregg Green


Have you a young son or a young
daughter? If so, are you awake to
the meaning Of personal develop
ment? So many fathers and mothers
do not realize the grave Importance
Of allowing their boys and girls to
undertake definite responsibilities.
II they are not allowed the privil-
eye of making decisions for them
selves and working out personal
problems, their development is be-
ing inteFfered with. Privileges of
this sort should begin in very early
childhood, since even little tots have
problems to solve. If you encourage
a child to develop initiative, perse-
verance and helpfulness, you will
be rewarded deeply and richly.
Just the other day 1 overheard
two mothers discussing their ideas
on this subject. They are close
friends and feel privileged to ex-
press their thoughts freely and
frankly.
Martha, think it's rather un-
fair-the way you give Charlie so
much responsibility" said one.

at all. After you go down town I
often see him holding his little sis
ters by the hand, taking them with
him wherever he happens to be go

him, to say the least. Why, Sonny,
just wouldn't do it, and wouldn't
expect it of him."

Produce Market Notes

The drop of about One-eighth in
shipping movement of produce early
in the month included considerable
decreases for potatoes, onions, car
rOts, and greens. Receipts of south
ern produce continue active and
southwestern produce, including cit
rus fruits, has been coming i'm large
volume. -
Further damage by law tempera-
lures near the beginning of the
month was not generally severe in
most southern states but the greater
part of the Florida potato crop was
delayed probably three weeks and
most Texas truck crops were set
back two to four weeks. Not many
Texas onions, potatoes, and beans
are expected until May and the mar
ket season for northern onions and
potatoes is extended somewhat. The
seasons carlOt supply Of fruits and
vegetables totals about ~ per cent
more than last year at the corfe-
spending date owing mainly to larg-
Ell output of potatoes, cabbage, and
fal western fruit and produce.
Prices were quite we'll maintained
the first week of March. Onions and
cabbage still held recent gains. The
potato market continues draggy
without much change and fairly
steady price conditions are reported
for sweet potatoes, lettuce, celery,
apples and citrus fruits.
Sweet potatoes sell at nearly
steady prices, averaging about 81
per bushel for Nancy Halls and
from 81 to $1.35 for stock from New
Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware in
eastern markets.
Shipments of onions became more
moderate early this month and the |
prospect Of decreasing supplies to- |
gether with reported further delay |
OF the Texas crop helped to main /
tain a firm market tone. Good vel |
low stock reached top OF $3.50 per
90 pounds in a few markets and the
general jobbing range was 50 to
$2.25, although poorer stock could
sun be had as low as $3.50. Most
OF the current carlot supply is from
New York and Michigan and total
have decreased to about i
