The Clly,n AdvertIsemenls.

The Advertiser and Gazette-as We expected
attack us for our recent exposition Of the man
ner in which our Republican City Council adyer-
tiaes the City's Annual Statement, viz: in two
Democratic newspapers, and no other.
We have no quarrel with the papers named,
on this question. II they charge the business
public certain price for advertising, and, when
forced to bid for contract, are willing to take
half rates for the same thing, it only proves the
looseness of their business principles and the
unfairness with which they treat the public.
But we object to the plan Of putting advertis-
ing out on contract. II any newspaper charges
the City higher rates than it does private parties
it should not have the City's patronage, but SO
long as there is no charge Of this kind, it seems
extraordinary and unfair that Republican City
Council should step in the tracks of a Council
which contained majority Of Democrats, and
advertise the Annual Statement only in Demo
cratic newspapers. And that is the whole matter

therefore, still awaited with the deepest interest

DEcKAsE OF JOSEPH LYMAN, IN THE 1O2D TEAR
OF HIS AGE.
Joseph Lyman, late resident OF ChristiAna
Hundred, died az 1917 O'Clock Saturday night, in
the 1929 year Of his age.
Mr.. Lyman celebrated the lOlst anniversary
of his birth on the 11th day Of October, 1871.
Some time last month he was visiting the family
Of Springer Lyman, in Newport, where one
morning, as he was drawing on his boots, be fell
from the chair to the floor and received severe
injuries. His physicians attributed his snfIeringa
more to old age than TO the fall. His sufferingt
continued up to the time Of his death. Up to
the time OF the accident, he was very active, and
his mental faculties were remarkably good.

Experiments in sowing wheat show that
in plots where one bushel TO the acre is
sown the proportoDate yield is greater
than on fields where two bushels are sown.
1t is estimated there are from 660, 900 to
7Oo,O 900 grains in a bushel Of wheat--say
100000. There are 6,273,640 square inches
in an acre. Using one bushel per acre
there would be about ono seed to each
nine and one-third square inches. Sup
pose each plant to tiller nine or ten fold
(and it most certainly will, under halfway
favorable conditions, it gives n stalk or
head to the square inch, which is many
more than can mature under the most ia
vorable circumstances. 1t is, therefore,
plain that one bushel of good seed per acre
is a superabundance. In sowing two we
waste one, even though it does not decrease
the yield.
