TOMATO STUDY
MADE IN KENT
Russell E. Wilson, County
Agent, Investigates Condi-
tions in Kent County
ASSISTS DR.. I. F. MAINS

For the purpose of making a
complete study Of the diseases
which are causing serious damage
to the tomato crop throughout the
state, questionnaires have been
prepared by DR.. T. F. Manns, plant
pathologist and soil bacteriologist
of the Delaware experiment sta
ton, and distributed to tomato
growers requesting them TO report
any fields that are affected with
the bacterial cankers or other dis
eases. These questionnaires for
Kent county have been mailed from
the office of county agent Russell
E. Wilson, and the tomato growers
have been requested to return
these survey reports to DR. Manns
at the University of Delaware. The
three diseases which have resulted
in heavy losses to the tomato crop
this year include the early blight,
Fusarium wilt, adm mcterial cank-
er, and every effort is being made
by the experiment station to re-
duce these losses by such practices
as seed treatment, spraying the
seed bed, rotation of crops and the
use of disease desistant plants.
These control practices are being
recommended to all tomato grow
ers, and it is expected that much of
this injury may be avoided in to-
mato fields Throughout Delaware.
A new and very severe disease of
tomatoes, known as bacterial cank-
er, or Grand Rapids disease, made
its appearance in several areas in
Delaware this past season, and
caused crop losses ranging from 40
to 80 percent. This canker is
characterized by quick whiting
and stunting of the tomato plant
after it has been set in the field,
and the stem may show sunken
brown areas along with a brown
rotting of the pith. This disease
can be controlled by the use of GER
titled seed which has been properly
treated with corrosive sublimate
Fusarium wilt is more common on
the lighter types of soil in Kent
and Sussex counties, and is easily

FARM GROWTH
VS.. LIVESTOCK
Income From Wheat Gains
While Meat and Potatoes
Show Decline
POULTRY EGG MARKET

Although farmers cash receipts
from the sale Of principal farm
products were larger in July this
year than for the corresponding
month last year in five of the six
geographical regions of the United
States, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the u. S. Department
of Agriculture reports marked diff
ferences in the income in the var
ious regions. The differences were
attributed to increased sales of
crops from this years larger pro-
duction and to the sharp decline in
sales of livestock this July as COM
pared with the same month last
year. Unusually large sales of
wheat in July increased income
greatly as compared with a year
ago in important Winter Wheat
Belt states. Income in many of
the Corn Belt states was less this
July than last because of a sharp
decline in receipts from meat an
imals. Income was also greatly
reduced in the intermediate potato
states because of decidedly lower
potato prices The reduced price
for potatoes was aminly response
BILE for the reduction in income for
the South Atlantic this July. Re-
porting the outlook for the re-
mainder of the year, the Bureau
said that in the East North Cen
trail Staes, which include Delaware
and aryland, income from wheat
and oats will be larger than in the
same months of 1886 but the in
come from corn and potatoes is
likely to be less. and the total
income from crops for the re-
mainder of 1887. may not be much
larger than for the same period of
1886"

AT percent increase in Delaware
1897 food grain production over
last year, a hay crop 10 percent
larger, an increase of 81 percent in
this years apple crop over that of
1886, and a peach production about
ID percent smaller are indicated by
the September 1 crop survey made
by the Delaware Crop Reporting
Service. The present outlook is for
a corn crop of 4,38O.OoO bushels as
compared with the 1886 crop of A.
$4,000 bushels and the 5-year
(1927-32) average of 3,680,000
bushels. This would be the largest
corn crop since 1928 when the pro-
duction was 4,743,000 bushels. Oats
production is estimated at $4,000
bushels. This is amout 81 percent
greater than last years smll crop
and percent smaller than the D.

pressions of welcome the Governor

Of effort He decried the conditions
Of the world Of today as being far
removed from this ideal of world
fellowship. Mr.. George Records,
new physical director Of the John
Bassett Moore School, presented to
the club the objectives Of an effec-
tive program Of physical education.
He pointed out that physical edu-
cation included more than the de-
velopment of specimens of physical
perfection, more than a coaching
job or of skills in calisthenics. The
modern concept involves all Of
these aims but emphasizes, above
All, the development of good citi-
zenship through the medium of a
sports program. Mr.. Records
made most favorable impression

Reuben Ford, aged 81, well
known retired Smyrna farmer, died
at the State Hospital, Saturday,
after lingering illness. The death
of Mr.. Ford removes one of the

and spent practically his whole life
in this vicinity. For many years
he lived on the farm on Brenford
road near the big Oak" where he
and his wife made themselves en-
deared to a large circle of friends.

right citizen and counted dear the
old friends and neighbors that
made their residence on the farm
the happiest days of his life.
His children, who survive, are:
F'railey Ford of Philadelphia; Yer
non, and Raymond, of Smyrna, and
Mrs. James S. Moore of Leipsic.
He is also survived by one brother
Daniel Ford, and two sisters, Miss
