The first mobile farm labor camp
in Delaware was dedicated on We'd
nesday of last week at Woodside,
near Camden, by Governor Walter
W.. Bacon. Mr.. Smith, a represen-
tative from the Farm Security Ad-
ministration, presented the camp
and Walter F. Mifflin, chairman of
the State Board of Agriculture, pre-
sided
This camp has deep seated sig
nificance for negro farm laborers
who have migrated here from the
South. First, the camp is likely to
be a boost to the Delaware negro
farm population which has stead
lily declined since 1885. The negro
farm operators dropped from S27

Guard, this city, announced
today that several new men

drowned last Thursday while
swimming in the Nanticoke River

They threw a rope to him from the
wharf but the youth disappeared
before he could reach it.
The body was recovered by State

John w. Blizzard who used grapp-
ling irons. The firemen's first aid
squad worked for an hour and

first unit Of the plant produced mag
nesium Aug. 81, that additional units
had been brought into production
since and that it was estimated the
entire plant would be completed by

Pooling OF Oil
Is COMPULSORY

The pooling of petroleum supplies
and terminal facilities on the Atlantic
seaboard has been ordered by Coordin-
ator Ickes, to increase oil deliveries
to the east coast. All companies i'm
porting petroleum products from the
west will join together in one concerted
effort to step up railroad tank car
shipments. Said Ickes:
1--WE have had to pile added costs on
the industry by requiring the use Of
refining equipment for purposes for
which it was never intended. In short,
we have had to deprive the public OF
the benefits of oil industry Individual
ly. Now we take another step to elm
mate individual company freedom Of
action by requiring the pooling Of
facilities and products"
No longer will trainloads be broken
up to fan tank cars out to bulk plants
but they will be unloaded at six zone
terminals capable Of handling train
load shipments.

STREAMS FLOW
IS NEAR NORMAL

Stream flow in more than three
fourths of the area of the IL western
states was mot far from normal for
the 1912 water year ended Sept. 30.
In the west as a whole, the geologi-
cal survey reported, the total runnoff
averaged about 100 percent of normal,
making 1912 lone of the better years
SO far as availability of water is con-
cerned."
The survey found, in its water re-
sources review. that stream flow was
unusually high in parts of northern
and central Montana, southern and
eastern Colorado, northeastern New
Mexico, northern California and
northern Nevada.
1t was unusually low, on the other
hand, in most of Arizona. In the Pa
cific northwest and coastal British
Columbia, it was 10 percent below nor
NAL. but this was not excessive. In
central and southern California and
Nevada, the runoff was somewhat
above normal.
Stream flow was near normal in 85
percent of the western area.
In checking the annual flow Of
major continental rivers, the survey
! found that the Columbia river at The
Dalles, Gre, discharged an average OF
$4,000 cubic feet second, 80 per-
cent of the Cougar normal.

"ERSATZ" YULE
TREES FORECAST

Santa Claus will have to hang his
gifts on erstaz Christmas trees in the
homes of thousands of midwest resi-
dents this year.
Montana's s1OO0,OOO Christmas tree
industry, which last year furnished
more than 100000 evergreens to the
yuletide marts of Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, New Orleans and other
metropolitan centers, is a war cas-
ualty.
Neither the labor to cut the trees
nor the transportation facilities to
take them to market can be spared
from the war effort.
Whatever the ideas of the tiny elf
from the north pole on the subject,
the government considers the Christ
mas tree industry "nonessential.'
Annually in November, hundreds of
lumber workers employed in the for
ests of northwestern Montana are re-
leased from their jobs for several
weeks to harvest the crop raised on
regular christmas tree FARMS max
ing extra money with which to under
write Santa Claus in their own homes.
But this year lumber companies,
pressing their facilities to keep pace
with the nations about production
effort. have served notice that no men
will be released.
Even if the evergreen farmers could
get labor. the office Of price admin
istration has turned thumbs down on
the use of trucks for hauling the
crop.
Trucks used for Christmas tree
hauling will get no tire certificates Ii
the future, the OPA edict said.
Montana Christmas trees, carefully
cultivated on both national forest
lands and private farms" ranging
from few hundred to several thou
sand acres, are said to be the best IN
the world.
Growers claim fir trees grown il
other states of the northwest and or
the Pacific coast shed their needles il,
less than 25 days, while Montana'S
educated" trees hold theirs for as
long as two months. Carefully thinneo
each spring they also have better
shape, it is claimed.
The war, however, threatens to COM
pletely ruin the industry. Growers
point out that they cannot afford the
expense of cultivating the symbols OF
yuletide JOY for the prospect of re-
turning market in the dim and dis
tant future.
And" as one grower sadly pre-
dicted, "the people will get so used
to artificial Christmas trees by the
end of the war they won't want &c
bother with the real thing, even when
they can get it,

Seed for Russians
To Be Urged on Air

An appeal to American farmers and

sian War Relief, Inc, on behalf of Rus
sias hard pressed farmers, will be

The Russian war relief seed cam
paign is designed to obtain large
quantities of carrot, radish, lettuce,

turnip and other vegetable seeds from
commercial seed houses and farmers,
and contributions of funds with
which these needed seeds can be

Many thousands of previously virgin
Russian acres will be planted with
American seeds next spring, materially
ameliorating the food shortage caused
