Some Delaware Yields.
From the Kent (Md.) News of July %.


VIM. NJ. Stay, ESQ.,, of Chestertown,
returned this week from visit to his Del
aware farms, and when he compares his
crops to those of others he feels as if he
should not complain. One Of his neigh
bors sowed Is bushels and got 16 He
had 200 acres in wheat and averaged 13
bushels per acre. The best yield in the
vicinity of Brenford is that of Daniel
Bailey who got 139 bushels. 4 writer in
the Dover Delawarean says:
''Mr George Hill had ten acres from
which he threshed 48 bushels, his other
field did a little better, but the whole 36
acres produced only 100 bushels, trife
over bushels per acre We give one or
two more crops which are fair samples of
this section. Mr.. John Dickerson, Sc
acres, 100 bushels; Mr.. Emanuel CULLEN
who had last year 1900 bushels, got this
year a trife less than $50 on consider
ably increased acreage Mr.. Luther Rob-
bins drilled % acre field late in Septem-
Der using 4255 bushels of seed, and + tons
of phosphate. The fly used it up in few
days after it made its appearance above
ground, so much so that he concluded to
pillow it under and reseed it later in the
season using the same amount of seed and
phosphate, being altogether IS bushels OF
seed and 8 tons of phosphate. He threshed
it last week and got 40 bushels from 20
acres but little more than half the amount
of seed used and of inferior quality.
His other field of % acres did little bet
ter, growing 281 bushels, being about 10
bushels per acre. This is about fair
sample of this entire section. None better
than the best named above and some were
worse than any named.
How are those and other farmers to pay
their phosphate bills, hand wages and
other expenses with 80 cent corn, and such
crops of wheat, and have anything to go
into the merchants till or for any other
purpose. 1t is certainly dark outlook
for the farmer. Call us croakers if you
will, but some one else will croak before
the next crop of wheat is harvested

From tho Towson md ! Union

The number of soldiers on duty in the
Federal army during the Civil War was
given as follows: July LIST, 1861, 1873. :
5SS; January 1st, 1862, 527, 2O4; Janu-
AIRY LIST, 1868, 698, 8O2; January LIST,
1864, Gil, $50; January 1st, 1865, $40, :
1924; May LIST, 1865, 1917, 1877. As our
population has increased by millions since
1861 it would not require long time to
form an army far larger than that of the
rebellion. OF course we will not need it,
but it may not be uninteresting to know
what we can do if forced by foreign pres
sure to put forth our whole strength. As
to the composition of the army and navy
now, here are the figures: The regular
army is made up of % per cent. of foreign
ers, while in the navy so per cent. of the
petty officers and ~ per cent. of the sea-
men are foreign born. Forty per cent. of
those who went down with the Maine were
of this class
