CANAL BRIDGE WRECKAGE
Span at st. Georges Sold to a Phil
adelphia Firm for $500

| Wreckage of the st. Georges
Bridge will be sold for approxim-
ately $4,000. The bridge cost
about one-third of million dollars
to build. The low bidder for the
800 tons of scrap steel recovered
from the wreck Of the bridge,
much of it below the surface of
the canal, was the Active Steel
Company Of Philadelphia at S7.O1
ton. The channel of the canal
has been reopened to the full wild
tn between piers and edpth of %
feet at st. Georges, officials of the
U. S. District Engineer office said.
From December 21 to January 20,
a total of 469 vessels passed
through the canal carrying 1885,
784 cargo tons. One hundred and
fourteen ships passed the canal,
SO of which were American and IS
of foreign register. AS the bridge
was wrecked January TO- there
were 10 of the 80 days during
which no vessels were able to use
the canal.

G. DAVIS NEAVTTT WRITES
Asks Farmers to Support Legisla-
ton in Congress For Own Good


G. Davis Neavitt Of CentreVille,
Md, a scion of the Davis family
prominent in Smyrna in the early
century, direct descendent Of
Judge Isaac Davis and George
Davis, writes the Times that a
worthwhile Farm Bill is again
before Congress. At the insist
ence of farmers throughout the
U. S., that the A IA. be scrapped
and replaced with good law,
eighteen Senators and eight Rep
resentatives, with the help of some
farm organization leaders, drafted
a bill, H. R. 1872, and on January
18th, 1889 offered the bill in Con
gress. The bill guarantees cost
reproduction plus a reasonable
profit to farmers for practically all
farm crops, includig live stock and
poultry does not control acre
ages; keeps surpluses out of our
markets and provides for their
disposal; viii not materially in
crease food prices; provides for the
administration Of the law; curtails
importation of farm products, and
gives the American Markets to
the American Farmers; and etc
This bill does not affect the pres
ent Conservation Law, which law
will be continued The Roosevelt
administration is fighting this bill.
They want the AAA. continued,
in spite Of the fact it is wrecking
agriculture. Secretary Wallace in
1887, and since, has stated over
the radio that: 'he cannot see
much better prices for the next
ten years" Then, the New Deal
has no right to expect the farmers
to put up with the A.A.A. any
longer. Both Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Wallace seem to forget the
disastrous crop prices of 1888. The
outlook is no better for 1889 under
the AAA. One of the sponsors
Of the new bill has asked me to

pertinent station, and mimeograph-
ed in the Kent county extension
office for distribution. In regard
to apple orchards, the tar distil-
late oil (21a8t) and oil emulsion
go combination should be used
as an all-purpose spray for the
control Of scale, aphis and red
mite. Commercial oil sprays,
known to be equally effective in
the control Of these insects, how
ever, may be substituted, but such
products should be used according
to recommendation of the manu-
facturers. 1888 was the third year
in a gradual upward trend in the
codling moth population in Della
ware, but this severe infestation
was limited to certain areas and to
certain orchards. Where serious
losses occurred from codling moth
infestation in 1888, and where
further difficulties are anticipated
for this season, all trees should be
thoroughly scraped and all scrap
ings burned This practice will
greatly reduce the number Of over
wintered larvoe, will result in
more effective control Of the first
brood of spraying, and will condi-
tion the trees for banding in June
With reference to the control of
leaf-curl, scale and red mite on
peach trees, it is recommended
that growers use a 6-6-1OO Borde-
aux with a percent oil emulsion.
# terrapin scale is present, the
oil content Of this spray should be
increased to 4 percent, and if com
mercial oil products are substitut-
ed for these lubricating oil emul-
sion, they should be used accord
ing to recommendations by the
manufacturers Growers are eau
toned to apply these sprays only
when the trees are dormant, and
sprays only when the trees are
dormant, and when the air temper
ature is above 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. No fungicide or insecticide
spray will give satisfactory results
unless thorough and timely cover
age is obtained.

IN MEMORIAM

KNIGHT, Pauline Boggs-In loving mem.
ory of our daughter. who was called
away 8 years ago to-day, February
81, 1886.
Our life is lonesome. home is sad;
Our hearts are filled with pain.
We feel like we will never know
A happy day in life again.
How sad today our troubled hearts;
How dim our eyes with tears;
For death has robbed US of the one
We thought was ours for years.
We will not forget you, our darling,
AS time can never erase
Your beautiful memory we hold in our
hearts,
And that sweet loving smile on your
face.
May our Heavenly Father keep US.
Faithful sincere and true.
That when we reach the pearly gates
Your smile will guide US through.
Sadly missed by

Olympic Skate Team
Best Ever for u, :,
Coach Contends
By the Associated Press.

OCONOMOWOC, Wis, Jan. 81
Coach Pete Miller, Chicago, crawled
out on a limb today and heralded
as "the best team we've ever picked"
the seven Midwesterners and one
Californian making up the con-
tingent of ice speed skaters who will
represent the United States in the
Finland Olympic Games of 1910.
With the concluding 10,000-meter
trial yesterday, Miller had for first
stringers" three claimants to new
American records and one dark
horse-George Shimek, 25-year- old
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, husky, who
took the 10000 meter in 18 minutes
1913 seconds.
The record underminerS, and their
best times, are: Leo Freisinger, Chi
cago, with 437 seconds in the 500
meter; Eddie Schroeder, Chicago,
1853 in the 5000, and George Wal
lace, San Francisco, 2:21.8 in the
$500.
Elevated to the team yesterday
with Shimek, because of all-around
performances, were AL Kucera and
red-headed Bob Heckenbach, Chi
cagoans. Kucera was second in the
10000 with 1883.
Previously chosen for good time
averages, although non-winners,
were Del Lamb, Milwaukee, and
Charles (Chuck) Leighton, Mime
apolis.
Schroeder, Freisinger and Lamb
are Olympic veterans.

Body hardened by work in a coal
mine and soul melloWed by study in
theological seminary. Staff Cassell
at American University presents a
composite of what a basket ball
coach should be in a school which
doesn't place premium upon vic
tories.
Out at A. U. they play basket ball
for fun. This isn't meant to imply
that they don't play to win, but the
love of playing, per Sc. is the domi-
nant note in the leadership provided
by Cassell.
There's a pretty good spirit on
our squad" says Cassell, "and I
think it's due mostly to the fact that
we enjoyed playing with and for
each other. I try to be as informal
with the boys as possible and when I
give them play try to make them
think it's their own rather than
one made up by coach and ordered
to be used.
Leaves EN- Wanting More.
There's no set length of time
which we practice We simply work
until we have achieved a purpose
and usually chase em off the floor
when they're still in the mood to
practice. BY that method they're
ready and anxious-to come out the
next time"

State next summer, the 29-year-old

prepared him especially for the du-
ties Of instructing persons Of college
age and, in addition to having
coached Eagle court squads for the
last two years, Cassell also teaches
physical education.
Let it not be thought that Cassell
earned the court-caoching job mere
ly on scholarly attainments, for any
A. U. follower will tell you that he is
regarded as one of the finest athletes
in their alma matters history. That,
despite the fact that he played
there only one year, the school year
of 1885. But as a fullback on the
'36 football team and a forward
that winter in basket ball, Cassell
played brilliantly enough to make
the second All-District five and re-
ceive honorable mention in football.
Previously, at Dickinson, he had
been three-sport man, also play
ing baseball-a sport which A. u.
did not have moreover, he must
