Receive High Milk Prices

The price for milk paid to farm
ers in Kent County for the month
of July was two dollars per hun
dred pounds. This was the high
est price that farmers in this sec
tion have received for milk since
1929. At some milk plants it
was stated that indications point
towards the price for August main
tanning the same level as that for
July, making two months in sue
cession that farmers will receive
the high price. Retail milk dealers
reported that the present high
price being received by farmers
will not effect the retail price of
milk and probably will not do so
unless the wholesale price mounts
to a much larger figure. There are
large number of farmers in this
area who deliver milk to the local
stations and who benefited by the
high price made available at the
local plants.

DUCK HUNTING
RULES FOR U.S.A.
Stringent Restrictions Re-
main on 30-Days Season;
Legal Quarry Listed
SHOOTING BAN ON SOME

A 30-days hunting season for
more than a million Americans
who go cunning for ducks was an
nounced recently by the Biological
Survey. Officials said that string
ent restrictions imposed last year
on the hunting of waterfowl were,
in the main, being continued. They
contended increases in migratory
waterfowl as a result of the rigid
and drastic" rules were not suf-
ficient to allow easing them. Chief
changes in them this season are
division of the country into three,
instead of two hunting zones; ad-
dition of redhead and canvasback
ducks and Atlantic brant to the
protection list on which all shoot
ing is banned; and permission for
open water shooting under certain
restrictions. The chief limitations
retained: l. Use of live decoys,
batting by spreading corn, or
shooting from sink boxes or bat
teries are prohibited. 2. Hunt
ing shall be only from a. M, to
A p. M, standard time 8. Repeat
ing shotguns shall not be loaded
with more than three shells and
guns larger tan 10-gauge are pro-
hibited. 4. The daily bag limit
and total possession limit shall be
10 ducks and 4 geese and brant.
The three zones this season with
their hunting dates, Northern
shooting opens October 10 and
closes November 8; intermediate,
November 1 to 80; and Southern,
November 26 to December 25
These dates are earlier in the
North and later in the South than
last seasons two-zone periods. Of
ficials said they will help hunters
catch the f1ocks winging south
ward. The 30-day season applies
to ducks, geese, Wilson's snipe or
jack-snipe, and coot or mudhens.
The prohibited list includes swan,
Ross geese, wood ducks, ruddy
ducks, and bufflehead, in addition
to the three species added this sea-
son. Daily bag limits and posses
sion limits this season include
rails and gallinules Except sora
and coot) Is; sora, 25; coot, 15;
snipe, Is; woodcock, 4; doves, 20;
and bandtailed pigeons, 10.

campaign on Saturday, applica-

tion will not be accepted without

Mr.. Smith said in a prepared state
ment. when a sale of a car is
made the proof of 1886 inspection
is equally as important to the new
owner as the transfer of title. Ap-
plications presented for registra-
tion without the 1886 proof of in
spection will have to be returned
to the applicant, which will cause
unnecessary delay in the issuance
of the registration. Dealers in
particular should bear this in mind
and keep all proof of 1886 safety
inspections attached to the titles,
as we will not accept a statement
that he safety inspection has been
made" The free inspection of mo
tor vericles will end on Saturday,
after which a fee of 81 will be
charged for each vehicle inspected,
as is the usual custom. Lanes this
week are located in Dover, George
town and Wilmington. Motor We
hicles which fail to display an Of
ficial approved sticker after aSur-
day will be halted by police and
will be given five days in which to
go to safety lane for inspection
and approval. Automobile owners
who fail to take advantage of the
free inspection this week, will have
to pay the 81 fee or possibly lose
their registrations if their cars are
not approved. Lanes during the
81 inspection period viii be oper-
ated in Georgetown, Dover and
Wilmington. The campaign is un-
der the joint auspices of the State
Motor Vehicle Department, the

DREDGING AT COLLINS
BEACH

Two dredging or mud machines
sent by the National Dredging
Company, the recent purchasers of
the larger part of the marsh land
at Collins Beach, arrived there the
latter part of last week to COM
mence the work of banking against
the overfiowing tides. The Will
mington Republican in noting the
improvement at this place says the
Levy Court of Kent county appro-
priated $4,000 for the purpose. The
Republican ought to know that
Duck Creek is the dividing line be-
tween Kent and New Castle coun-
ties, and that the creek is several
miles below the section where this
work is to be completed. Under
the charter of the Cedar Creek
Marsh Company they will erect an
embankment, extending along the
bayshore, the dimensions of which
will be Is feet high, 100 feet wide
at the base and 80 feet wide on the
top, thus making driveway along
the shore wide enough for three
teams. The hotel at the beach will
be surrounded by a horseshoe
shaped embankment one mile wide
between the prongs.

and with his two lieutenants who
were awaiting him-Ben Jacobs
and Joe Jess boarded their little
yacht and launched at once upon
the silently ebbing waters of Duck
Creek. AS their object was pleas
ure rather than business, they were
in no greater hurry than the tide
and enjoyed every turn and twist
of its serpentine course. They had
guns and fishing tackle, including
a seine, and the foraging for sup
plies was not the least of the
pleasures of the trip. Among the
birrs were rail, marsh hen, and
willets or beach birds. They
thought the doctor went to enjoy
himself, which meant a plenty to
eat, and with a good supply of old
man Moore's biscuit, butter and ice
slowed away in the hold, the rest
was provided as above, and when
his men hadn't anything else to do
they cooked him a dinner. They
