HOW TO WIN IN DELAWARE.
The "Morning News" Suggests a Key to
the Situation.

The Morning NeOs wants to win,
and says the holding of two State Con-
ventions by the factions of the Repub-
lican party, gives them an opportunity
to study the situation and to analyze
the weighty problem to be met. We
quote:
'There is an opportunity this year
for the Republicans to obtain entire
possession of the State and to elect
men to fill the most important state
and county offices. There is every en-
couragement for Republican victory,
provided of course that there is har-
mony of action. The Democratic pap
ers cannot restrain their joyousness at
the prospects of Republican division
and there is every inducement for the
Democrats to stand together for COM
mon purpose. Thus it rests with the
Republicans to say whether they shall
win themselves or whether the Demo
Gratis shall win."
The remedy of the News is for the
tail to wag the dog, maintaining that
the National Republicans are with the
Regulars" in the fight. If the Morn
ina Ne,0s expects the Union Republi-
cans to drop their ticket and adopt any
one the Regulars" may present, they
have counted without their hosts, a
least as far as Kent and Sussex coun-
ties are concerned.

The audience seemed we'll pleased

qualification to Principal Place, no less
than the members of the High School,
who participated in it.
1t was not encumbered with plot, but
abounded with scenes or pictures that

was not a faulty scene in it from be-
ginning to end, and congratulations

At the close of the first act, Miss
Phida Janney and Miss Minnie Nc
Conaughy rendered piano duett, and
at the close of the second, violin solo
was played by Miss Grace Lloyd.

FARMERS INSTITUTE OF SMYRNA,
Discussion on Tomatoes aud Small Fruit
Led by Prof. 6. Harold Powell and
Mr.. Charles Barker.

The farmers of this vicinity had a
very instructive meeting at Odd Eel
lows Hall, Main street, Wednesday
afternoon, at which the growing and
cultivation of tomatoes and small fruit
were scientifically entered into. There
were about forty farmers present and
the meeting was presided over by Mr..
James G. Robinson, of this town, Mr..
Wesley Webb, of Dover, being the sec
retary.
Prof. James S. Robinson, of Mary
land Agricultural College, had been
invited to be present, and was sched-
uled to give the farmers scientific ad
dress on tomatoes, of which subject he
is a recognized authority. He was un-
able to be present on account of sick
ness, and Prof. G. Harold Powell, of
Delaware College, was substituted in
his place.
Prof. Powell took as his subject:
'The Troubles of Tomato Growing" I"
In his excellent and instructive ad-
dress, he explained to the farmers the
Importance of selecting seed, saying
that the best results are always to be
obtained from those vines that produce
the greatest number of fine fruit. He
went on to show at length that proper
care in this direction would improve
the yield materially in this section.
Another thought that he gave out was
the spraying of young vines. This
should be commenced when the plant
was one-half an inch high, and further.
more, the plant should be kept covered
with Bordeaux Mixture until ready tC
4 set out. Prof. Powell illustrated his
lecture with charts, and gave force
to his remarks with instances o
the practical experience of toma
toes growers who had used tn,
methods he advocated.
Mr.. Charles Barker, of Milford, wa
the next speaker and in the time al
lotted to him, he gave an entertaining
talk on ''Small Fruit Culture. Hi
remarks were mainly directed to tn
growth and cultivation of strawberries
In spring bearing patches he cultiva
ted from the time the ground was Fl
until blooming time, and anothe
method he adopted, which was attende
with profitable results, was to put tn
mulch between the rows and not o
the plant. In this way he was able t
conserve enough moisture to carry hi
crop through, even a dry season lik
that of last year. In naming the varit
ties of strawberries, he thought th
"Tennesee Prolific" and the ''Bubach
to be most adapted to the so
of Delaware. The ''Johnson's Early
is berry we'll spoken of t
many fruit culturists, and our groy
ers are disposed to plant it extensive
in this section, this year. Anoth
i. variety which will be tried to some e
tent is "The Excelsior.

tertaining throughout and arrang
!, ment will be made to hold another /
stitute here in the near future.

BIG MISSIONARY SUNDAY.
This Important Day at The Methodist Church
Much interfered With by Weather.

not report, waiting full attendance.

ters, Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Mason.

health, but contracted severe cold
while visiting Mrs. B. V. Weldon in
this town two or three weeks ago,
