Let no one be deceived. The fl

gan his message to joint meeting
of the House and Senate in the
Senate chamber.

special session last month, took
prompt action" said the Governor
ito remedy the urgent and imme-
diate need for increased revenues
it did not provide for balanced
budget by the end of the fiscal bi-
ennium on June 80, 1859.
Action to balance the budget
must now be s. taken. l hope that
this will be done without delay in
cooperative, bipartisan manner
Il do not anticipate that my rec
concentrations will win your ac-
claim. / know that they will pro-
duce protests from many sources
Reductions in appropriations are
painful and distasteful but at this
time they are essential to the fiscal
soundness and credit position OF
Delaware"
The Governor made it clear that
to disagree with his recommends
tions but that the situation is such
that if this is the case the legisla-
tors will have to make some of
their own.
Mr.. Boggs said a new 1859, ap-
preparation bill would come in dur
ing the day-also a new contingen-
cy bill. They didn't show up be-
cause both houses adjourned early

supporters of right to work bills,
arguing with them, doing all he
could to hold off the day when this
currently-b legislation will

Governor Boggs was ready and
waiting when the committee as
scended the stairs to his office. In
couple of minutes they were
back and marched into the Senate
chamber. After he had greeted the
group on the rostrum including Mr..
Buckson, Senator Curtis w. Steen,
the president pro tenn, and Rep.
Harry E. Mayhew. speaker of the
House, Mr.. Boggs stepped down
to the lectern set up for him. Then
he talked.
When it was over there was cour-
teous applause from the floor and
from the few who listened from the
gallery. Still later there was very
little comment. Between the wea-
ther and the message things were
nearly funereal.

A study of methods of planting

five different localities in st.

THE 1855 STUDY
Direct seeding and broadcasting
Of small-leaf mahogany were test
ed at Solitude, broadleaf maho-
gany at Bodkin, and both maho-
oanies at the airport hill. Sowing
was done during three different
periods: February, May, and Sep
TENDER. All planting was done
during September. Two different
treatments of potted stock and 5
different treatments of barefoot
ed stock were used. The results
were as follows:

species and all sites in the Febru-

cause of climatic influence but
mostly because of the use of seed
