KENT FARMERS URGED
TO TREAT SEED WHEAT
Information On Treatment Process
Mailed Farmers

The attention of all wheat growers
in Kent County is being called again
this year to the economic Importance
of treating seed wheat for the pre-
yention and control of stinking smut
as hits disease results in serious
damage to the wheat crop with cor
responding reduction in market
prices. Farmers should make every
effort. therefore, to not only hold
this disease in check, but TO further
reduce its prevalence in the wheat
fields throughout the county.
Statements regarding the wheat
smut situation in this state. also
timely recommendation relative to
the use of dust materials in the treat
ment of seed were prepared recently
by DIR. T. F. Manns. plant pathologist
of the Delaware Experiment Station.
and mailed to Kent County wheat
growers from the Office OF County
Agent Russell r. Wilson. This is
essentially the same information
which has been sent TO farmers each
fall for the past several years, as
seed treatment is the only dependable
method for maintaining wheat crop
that is free from smut.
Coppercarb and Ceresan are the
two efficient commercial dust ma
terials on the market for treating
wheat, either of which will give
satisfactory results II the seed is
treated In closed containers so that
the dust may become thoroughly and
evenly distributed over the grain.
Coppercarb is generally used at the
rate of three ounces to each bushel
of wheat. while Ceresan is recon-
mended at the rate OF one-hslf ounce
to the bus hel.

ing weeks of the regular campaign
when hundreds of motorists were
unable to have their cars tested.
Mr.. Terry urged all motorists who

Power Of Farmers
Income Back To 1929 Level

The buying power of the farmers
income this year will be virtually
back at the 1929 level. the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics said Monday
in the September issue of "The Ag-

Although farm income this year is
somewhat below the pre-depression
level, 1t was pointed out that prices
which farmers have to pay for their
supplies also are somewhat lower
than during the years prior to 1880.
Consequently, the exchange value of

A new Salvation army leper colo- ny known at "The Evangeline Booth Leper Hospital, has been opened at Travancore, South India. Over looking the Arabian sea to the west, and to the east the fertile fields of Cochin state, with magnificent range of mountains in the distance the establishment enjoys almost continually a cooling breeze, which tempers the heat even during the hottest days.
 Accommodation has been provided in 16 buildings, for 100 patients. There are eight wards, spacious dining room, a dispensary, labora- tory, and operating room, with stores, kitchens, and an adminis- trative building.
 At the highest point of the colony is the Mcbride meeting hall, large enough to hold 100 patients, with accommodation for the staff and visitors. Electric lighting and water pumped from the valley below are great asset.
 In addition to these buildings a non-leper hospital and dispensary has been erected to meet a growing need in the district.
 Captain and Mrs. John Murray have been appointed respectively as superintendent and matrOn. Adju- tant Hummer is appointed as resi- dent nurse. There is also a diet supervisor and compounder. The medical officer is Dr. A. E. Cheriam, who has had some years experience at the Cochin State Leper asylum, which is controlled by the army.

Waterville, May GA land mark of Waterville passed into tie great beyond yesterday, with the burning of the Macken store on the corner of Parker and Manville streets.
 Older residents will remember, when the now destroyed building stood on the corner of Boyden street and Thomaston avenue and Bert Macken conducted g hourishing market. Times changed and progress took place, the city of Waterbury felt that 1t needed the location of that store to complete Waterville park and after much litigation pro- ceedings, MT. Macken moved the building to the corner of Parker and Manville streets and thereby another business of Waterville passed. Since that time, the building has stood on that location and has been vacant. Yesterday, either children burning papers or playing in the building, caused a fire which destroyed not only that building but MT. Macken's own home on Parker street and par tially destroyed the house owned Dy MISS JCIlIllC Q. E1CFdlu OLi N1hli- vile street. The fire loss will run into considerably more than the original newspaper estimate.

May 1lth.
 Mrs. William Rooney, financial secretary of the Pride of Welch Cir cle wishes to be notified, either this evening or early Friday, of All those who wish to accept this invitation, so she may, in turn, notify the Tor rington Circle.

The two stores, liquor package, and patent medicine are separated, but both open from the same lobby. The company has made application to the State Board of Pharmacy Commissioners for permission to operate a pharmacy in the present store occupied as a patent medicine store.
 Legal Status
 Secretary Beirne requested the legal status of the question in a letter to the attorney-general's of- flee, and the opinion in the case was filed by Deputy Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin. In part, he says, Tt is apparent from your letter that the same company is de- sirous of operating a drug store and a liquor package store on the same premises with free access and egress to each unit, which is contrary to the provisions of Section 10S0c of the 1880 Cumulative Supplement which provides among other things:
 State Requirements
 "'No store operating under g package store permit shall sell any commodity other than alco- holic and non-alcoholic liquor; except that package store beer permit may be granted to any store which is chiefly engaged in the sale of groceries :"
 It seems to the writer that from the factual set-up described in your letter the issuance of a pharmacy registration would destroy the in- tendments and purposes of Section 1O30c and it is to be noted in Stc- ton 1047c of the Cumulative Sup plement that
 "No packer or permittee of one class shall be a packer or permit tee of any other class, except in the case of railroad and boat permits ."
 The application for the pharmacy permit by the same company that operates the package store clearly is in violation of the requirements of Section 1O47c and the pharmacy registration permit should not be issued.
