LEWIS, McAVOY WEIGH IN

New York; March 13.-(UP'-John Henry Lewis of Phoenix, Ariz., scaled 172 IA today for his light-heavyweight championship defense to- night against Jock McAvoy of Great Britain. The challenger weighed 168 IA. Both weights were surprising. The champion had been expected to tip the beam at the division limit of 175 while McAvoy, who really is middeweight, wasn't expected to be much above 165. The betting odds, which had favored the challenger all week, dropped to 5-4 and take your pick.

 Two Cold Facts
 The problem was made harder be- cause, back of the assertions that occupation of the Rhineland was was necessary to her sovereignty and honor, were two cold facts:

NEW
SHORE FERRY
Kent Island, to
Sandy Hook, Near An
napOlis, Maryland
ROAD TO WASHINGTON

The Public Service Commission
of Maryland, Wednesday of last
week received an application from
the Maryland Bay Company for
permission to operate a new ferry
service across the Chesapeake Bay
between Sandy Point, near Annap-
oils, and a spot near Stevensville,
on Kent Island, on the Eastern
Shore. If plans for the ferry SER
vice materialize, it is believed new
impetus will be given to the move
ment for a new modern highway
between Washington and Sandy
Point, a proposed thoroughfare
which is said to be regarded favor
ably by the United States Bureau
of Public Roads. In its petition to
the Public Service Commission, the
Maryland Bay Company explained
that if granted authority, it will
offer an entirely new service not
now provided by any other carrier
between points not now served di-
rectly, but the service of the ap-
plicant will indirectly compete
with the Claiborne-Annapolis Fer
ry Company" Explaining that the
poposed ferry service would oper-
ate in intrastate commerce be-
tween Sandy Point and Stevens
vile, a distance of three and
quarter miles, the petition said the
applicant has sole and exclusive
rights to the only practical termin-'
al of the proposed route. Harry
B. Spear, one Of the directors of
the company, signed the petition.
Incorporation papers were granted
to the Maryland Bay Company on
October z by the State Tax Com
mission Mr.. Spear, Emmett w.
Scott and Butler Balance, all of
Washington, were named directors.
William T. Emory was designated
as resident agent. The company's
principal Office is at Log Inn, An
napolis. Authorized capital stock
of the company amounts to 500, 500
of which 4,500 shares of 81 par
value are common stock, and $500
shares of $40 par value, preferred
stock. The proposed modern high
way between Washington and
Sandy Point still is in the dream"
stages, according to DIR. Homer E.
Tabler. chairman of the State
Roads Commission. At present,
the Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry
Company furnishes service between
Annapolis and Metapeake, on Kent
Island, and Claiborne. in Talbot

SEED WHEAT IN
SMUT CONTROL
Survey Made in Kent County
by Russell E. Wilson,
County Agent
TREATMENT IMPORTANT

AS a means of determining the
results of the campaign in the
treatment of seed wheat for con-
troll of shrinking smut in Kent coun-
ty, surveys have been made each
fall by County Agent Russell E.
Wilson through those local dealers
and distributors who handle the
dust materials which are recon-
mended for this purpose. This has
been one of the major extension
projects in the Kent county pro-
gram of work for the past twelve
years, and during this period sew
eral thousand bushels of wheat
have been treated, with a CORES
pondingly large acreage planted to
treated seed each year. Although
the treating of seed wheat has be-
come an accepted practice among
the majority of farmers, their at
tention has been called each sum-
mer to the economic value of this
practice in order that the stinking
smut may be held in check in the
production of clean wheat for the
market. The 1886 survey relative
to the amount of these dust mater
ials used this year by the wheat
growers in Kent county will be
completed within a few days, and
from this information will be cal
culated the acreage which was
sown with treated wheat this fall
When this project was started in
the summer of 1925 only 5000
acres were planted with treated
seed, but this acreage continued to
increase each year until the max
imum was attained in 1928 when
$500 acres were seeded. During
the past few years, however, this
acreage has dropped considerably.
as the smut has been fairly well
under control and many farmers
decided to not treat their wheat
under the circumstances. Although
this situation existed throughout
the county, it has been regarded as
essential that wheat growers con-
tinue this practice each year as a
protection against the reappear-
ance of this disease. Until seed
treatment became a common prac-
tice among farmers throughout the
United States, heavy losses were
experienced each year by the pres
ence of smut in the wheat crop,
and thre was a correspondingly
heavy dockage at the mills and
grain elevators. This treatment,
however. has reduced this loss to
a minimum, and every effort is be-
ing made to further reduce the
prevalence of this disease and to
hold it in check from year to year
Aside from the seed itself, the only
other sources of smut infection
are old straw from a smutty crop
OF wheat and where a diseased
crop of wheat has been threshed.
Inrection occurs at the time the
seed terminates, and this is gov
erned by existing temperature and
moisture conditions.

feature of the election was the
small vote polled in the city of Will
mington by the Independent Re
publican Party. Their total on the
basis of the returns from 120 dis
tricts for electors was only 456 and
cut little if any figure in the gen.
eral results. 1t had little effect on
the defeat of the Republican candi-
dates and leaders of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties ex-
pressed the opinion the heavy
Democratic majoritie were due to
the number of regular Republicans
who had voted the straight Demo
cratic ticket. This was evident
from the size of the vote for the
Democratic candidates. The Short
ticket fell far behind the 10000
votes their leaders had claimed
they would poll in the state. Re
turns from Kent and Sussex were
slow coming in during the night
due in part to the unusually heavy
vote and the length of time it re-
quired to count it, but more es-
pecially to the large number of
split tickets which slowed the
count considerably. 1t was antici-
pated Kent County would give the
Democrats big majority. Her
man c. Taylor, Democratic chair
man in the county said late Tues
day night he estimated the Demo-
Gratis had carried the county by
1000 majority. He based this on
reports he had received from the
various districts in the county In
Sussex county where the Demo
Gratis and the Independents had
formed coalition and voted for a
fusion ticket, with the county and
Legislative offices divided between
them, it was anticipated the coali-
ton would poll majority over the
reguar Republican candidates. On
the electors, the Congressional, and
the state tickets, it was predicted
by the Democrats they would be
able to show a safe majority. The
following is the tabulated results
for the First District (Smyrna) in
the two election districts. The
Democrats polled an average of
1O41, the Republican 662, the indie
pendent Republican 13. The So
