FARMERS ON
IMPORTANT MATTERS
Interesting Meeting OF Sussex
County Oranges Held In
Milford Yesterday
Special to The Evenlng Journal.

Milford, Feb. 12.-The Farmers In
stitute meeting held here yesterday
was largely attended though many
farmers were deferred from attendance
because of heavy rains and bad roads.
Professor Wesley Webb. OF Dover.
was the first speaker OF the morning
session, his subject being: THE Mix
ing of Fertilizers. In The discussion
that followed Charles Barker, b. +. d.
Woodall and C. q. Compton took part.
The facts brought out were quite in
teresting, showing, as they did, that
there were only a few elements that
enter into the commercial phosphates
that are needed in this section: also that
every farmer should make personal
tests as to the demands Of the lands for
different crops.
Professor c. l.. Penny, of the Della
ware Experiment Station. arrived on
the IL a. m. train, and talked to the
FARMERS about Dairy Herd Manage
ment" He has several charts to show
what the station had learned in test
ing cows and herds TO find the amount
of butter. fat andmilk obtained. He said
that diarymen were not 80 careful as
those engaged in other business in
looking into the cost Of production
and he proved by hisrernarks thatmany
cows were kept at a loss. II had been
found that it cost about $40 per year
TO maintain the average COW. while
many did not produce enough butter
to pay more than one-half Of this
cost.
There was some discussion follow.

committee on foreign relations.
There was no delay in securing ac-
ton of the Alaskan treaty ana very
little opposition to it was manifested.
senator Teller said that he consioerea
the Alaskan boundary so well deter

dispute. Therefore, while ne Wouiu
NOT delav it. he would not vote TOT IT,
Senator Mason made few similar re-
marks. adding that he consldereu tue

heard in the negative when an inIor- lS,
nal expression was called for' ne

however. that the decision of the chair
TO the effect that ratification had pre-
vailed was not challenged.
All the provisions OF the AlasAat AlNa,l
boundary treaty except one paragraph
from the French we're adopted.
The Greek treaty was read tnrousl
by the clerk. and then Senator Cullon
asked that the resolution of ratification
be acted on, but Senator Hoar, OF Mas
sachusetts, objected. He said thaI ny
desired an opportunity to examine th'
provision of the treaty concerning con
sular trials. He explained that ne ha'
no objection to the general purport o
the treaty, but said that as the provis
