MOSQUITO DITCHING
IMPROVES MARSH LAND
[Conlinned from Firn Paacl

questions. Practically all of these
owners expressed wholehearted en-
thusiasm of the work that has been
done by the two CCC Camps 1924
and 1926, located at Lewes and
Slaughter Reach, stating that the
work has reclaimed marshes they
had giVen-up as ruined by stagna-
tion, that they have harvested bum
per crops Of hay since the installa-
t!on of the bitches, that their live
stock is in much better condition
due to the practical elimination of
mosquitoes, that milk production
has increased as a result Of greater
contentment among the dairy stock,
and that wild life is returning to
the marshes in noticeable numbers.
The majority of the marsh owners
stated that, in the beginning, they
had had no faith in the success Of
the work but that now they are
whOleheartedly behind it. Many who
only gTudgingly gave permission
for ditching of their marshes now
state emphatically that, having seen
luC BGnCulo dECtulM6 tuCIClIOuls
they would now readily give permis-
sion if they were asked to do it
again.
A great number praised the eff =
,iency of the CCC workers in hand
ing their tools, and for the manly
and courteous manner in which they
conducted themselves while passing
by or working near the farm house.
The report concluded with point
ng out that any marsh owner who
'efused permission for ditching is
loing himself a great injury as well
Is his neighbOr. since the entire
'lan benefits the whole community.
Any marsh owner in Kent or New
'astle counties who is in doubt {
bout giving his permission for :
Itching work may, upon request,
ir. COrkran has announced, be con-
ucted over marshes that have been
itched and which are already en- !,
Dying the benefits thereof.

Particular attention to the neces-

Mr. Smith. He said that a remark
ably poor conception Of stopping
distance Is shown by motorists and
cited a recent QUESTIONABLE con-
Quoted in a survey in which drivers
Of tWo-wheel-brake cars in 20 per
cent of the cases said they could
stop in 80 feet from a speed of 40
miles an hOur-an utterly impOs-
sible feat.
"It is generally recognized that
only a car with very good brakes
can stop in less than 80 feet from
this speed" be declared. Further
more, it is absolutely impossible for
any car to stop in so feet on an Or
binary road, because it will skid
farther than that distance when all
wheels are locked.
"It is apparent that quite a few
drivers do not realize the distance
required for a complete stop of the |
vehicle which they are driving, and /
certainly few people realize the in
crease in distance required for stop
ping at increased speeds. These
drivers probably are not so ignor-
ant and dangerous as the replies
would indicate; many drivers do not
know what 40 feet or so feet is. and
n actual driving they probably al
ow much greater distance in which
