CONTROL WILD
LIFE IN STATE
Can Be Fit Into the Erosion
Control Program on Farms
1t Has Been Found
WILD LIFE ON THE FARM

Philip F. Allan, heading the Wild
life activities of the Soil Conserva-
tion Service in the northeastern
United States, says that the inn
provement of wildlife cover and
feeding can be included in an ero-
sion control plan for almost any
farm, at very little time, effort, or
cost on the part of the farmer.
Allan goes on to state that wild
life on the farm has a direct dollar
and-cents value from the sale OF
furs, ETC.; a very important indi-
rect value from the destruction of
insects and harmful rodents; and,
an appeal to beauty and apprecia-
ton of wild things. With regard
to the value of Wildlife in controll-
ing insects and rodents, Allan re-
lates the experiences of a southern
Pennsylvania orchardist in one of
the Soil Conservation Service dem
onstration areas. This orchardist
is cooperating in putting erosion
control measures on his whole
farm and is particularly interested
in the wildlife part of the pro-
gram. He had tried to rid his or
chard of pine and meadow mice by
every means, from the use of nom
venomous snakes (Which his pick
ers killed., to discing and the use
of poisoned bait. This same man
has been expanding his wildlife
program recently to encourage
many species of birds to nest on
his farm. He says that since he
has been doing this, there has been
a very small amount of stung fruit
in hisc orchards Your county ag-
ricultural agent will furnish infor-
nation as to how the improvement
of wildlife cover and feeding ia
fitting into the erosion control pro-
grams being put into effect on the
demonstration areas of the Soil
Conservation Service in Delaware.

TO BROADCAST
POULTRY SHOW
Warren c. Newton of Bridge
vile to Present Activities
of New York Show
DELAWARE PRODUCERS

Ten thousand poultry producers
of Delaware have been invited to
participate in the activities of the
Poultry Industries Exposition next
week in New York City and hear
the broadcast Thursday, November
2, at 1 p. m, by Warren C. New
ton, of Bridgeville, through the
courtesy of radio station WDEL.
Mr.. Newton is director and
State delegate of the Northeastern
Poultry Producers Council, which
sponsors the Exposition. Original
iy conceived as a combination in
dustrial fair and practical poultry
show, the Exposition quickly de-
veloped as setting for scientific,
professional and association mat
ters. Among meetings concurrent
with the Exposition are those of
the Northeastern Poultry Produc-
ers' Council, the Northeastern AS
sociation of Commissioners and
Secretaries of Agriculture, the
Northeastern States Association of
Egg and Poultry Distributors,
State poultry associations, auction
associations, turkey associations
and many county organizations.
Mr.. Newton, together with his
father, Oliver A Newton, who has
been president of the State Board
of Agriculture for the past twenty
five years, manages a $50 acre
farm near Bridgeville, where he
makes a speciality of chicken breed
ing. He trapnests 500 birds a
year, keeps 1,5O0 layers, produces
10000 to $4,000 broilers annually
and owns and operates hatchery
under State supervision with incu-
bator capacity of $4,000 eggs. In
view of the emphasis placed on
quality production by poultry pro-
ducers of Delaware the New York
event, according to Mr.. Newton, is
of outstanding Importance. Next
to the COW, the hen is nationally
the most important animal and the
poultry industry runs a close race
for second place to dairying among
the agricultural industries. Della
ware alone produces six million
chickens year and more than six
million dozen eggs. There are sew
en- hundred country buyers, pack
ers and shippers.

ROTARY CLUBS
WEEKLY MEET
Dinner Meeting at Wayside
Inn Addressed by Harry
P. Jones of Smyrna
HIS SUBJECT: PHARMACY

Mr.. Harry P. Jones, druggist in
Smyrna, gave very interesting
address on Pharmacy" at the last
meeting of the Rotary Club. Phar-
macists are giving the public a
highly specialized pharmaceutical
service. This service eliminates
usually when the pharmacists hand
drugs, medicines or sickroom sup
plies to their patrons, but begins
a long time before that. The SER
vice rendered by pharmacists to
their immediate patrons is a direct,
personal and confidential one, but
is preceded by general, imperson-
al and worldwide service to which
many arts and sciences are con-
tributors- The materia medica in
a well-equipped pharmacy is gath
cred from all parts of the world.
There is hardly a state on the
globe that does not contribute its
native vegetable drug or drugs and
in many countries drug plants are
now being cultivated Pharmacy
is as old as the suman race. The
origin of Pharmacy has been lost
in obscurity. Ever since man has
suffered bodily ailments Pharmacy
has played its role. Man has at all
times sought relief from bodily
pains in various roots, barks,
leaves, flowers, fruits, ETC., seven
ty-five percent of all medicines are
today prepared from drugs of the
kingdom Thus we note
that pharmacy has played an inn
portant role in the history of man.
The history of Pharmacy has run
