MANY DIAMONDBACKS
IN MARYLAND WATERS

Maryland's reputation as a produ-
GER of the choice reptilian food is not
to be lost in light of recent develop
ments, since, during the current week.
three thousand young diamondback
terrapin are being distributed to the
various tide-water counties by the
Conservation Department.
The terrapin are one year of age
and have been Matched and grown
under laboratory condition at the
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory
Solomon's Island. The supply produced
at the Laboratory has been increased
by q contribution Of 1000 young ter
rapin from the U. S. Bureau Of Fish
cries. 1t has been possible for the
State to produce the stock for the re-
Mobilization of tide water creeks and
marshes by securing eggs from the
Holland Seafood Company's terrapir
pens at Crisfield, Maryland, through
whose cooperation successes were
achieved.
Four hundred and fifty of these
year-old Diamondbacks have beer
placed in the tide-water creeks anC
rivers in Dorchester county. About
the same number have been distri
buted in other counties.

DEL FARMERS MUCH
IN NEED OF RAIN

Serious effect on Delaware farm
incomes was seen resulting from the
hot, dry weather blasting farm lands
in all three of the states counties.
Midseason peaches, already about
one week late, are understood now be-
cause of the drought j. L. Soper, di-
rector of the Bureau of Markets,
State Board of Agriculture, said.
The same effect of underdevelop-
ment was reported for peaches in Sus-
sex county by Warren C. Newton, ag-
riculturist of Bridgeville, and dam
age to tomato and corn crops was al
so reported in all sections of the state.
Gall crops, but particularly peaches
and tomatoes, show need for rain, "
Mr.. Soper pointed out, with farm
lands of Kent and New Castle coun-
ties suffering more than those of Sus-
sex where some scattered rain has fall
len."
Need Long, Gentle Rain
Delaware farmers said a slow, gen.
tie rain, lasting at least for 48 hours,
is needed.
Northern Delaware has had only 3d.
A inches of rainfall since June 1 Of
this year, according to official mea-
surements, while in 1889 the two
months of June and July showed a
total rainfall of 5.52 inches.

PATRIOTISM ABOVE
PARTISANSHIP

.'The country salutes Col. Frank
Knox and Mr.. Henry Stimson who
have been rudely kicked out OF the
Republican party because they put
patriotism above partisanship. When
these eminent men consented 10
serve in the key defense posts OF
the Roosevelt administration they
demonstrated real Americanism.
When the Republican National
Committee, in a fit of pique, read
them out Of the organization they
had served so honorably and so well,
it was guilty of colossal stupidity
The objects of this political reprisal
in an hour Of national emergency
are in no sense injured thereby.
BY their readiness to serve in the
Roosevelt cabinet, they demonstrat-
ed that their thoughts and actions
were on different plane from
those of the narrow group which IS
consumed by the hope of PREFER
