HOUSTON ITEMS.

The closing sermon for this con-
ference year was preached by Rev.
Wilson last Sunday morning, and
the Lords Supper administered to
a large class of participants. The
ministerial support from the var
ious charges are fairly we'll up;
Houston being more behind than
any of the others; but the Stewards
feel confident of raising the amount
before conference is on them.
The Sunday School Glass of Mrs.
Thistlewood gave a social last Sat
urday evening, and netted SIS. 90
which will be applied to repairing
the church roof, as the interior de-
corations are being spoiled by rea-
son of leaks.
Elizabeth Johnson Sunday school
class is rehearsing and will render
a comedy tomorrow evening, Satur-
day, March nth. There will be
several amusing sketches given
with nice music by Miss Viola
johnson and others. Refreshments
will be served at the close of the
play.
Our factories have been rushing
work as rapidly as possible since
the winter weather passed away.
Sweet potoe buyers have about
got all the crop for this season, and
they have paid very well. Many
have been shipped to New York by
the small growers.
Distribution of seed peas and
seed sweet corn is being made by
the canning people, and an effort is
being made to have the acreage of
these two articles greatly increased
as yet packers are shy of contract
ing for tomatoes.
Mrs. Sallie Satterfeld has re-
turned to her home at Ashland,
Md, after passing several days here
with her parents Mrs. Johnson.

The Most for the Money.

The loser of a gold watch or a
valuable piece of jewelry or roll
of bills never seeks to recover his
property by sending out circulars,
or hiring sandwich men to parade
the streets, or plastering blank
walls with faring posters, He ad-
vertises his loss in the newspapers.
Common sense tells him that he
can reach the greatest number of
people with least expense in that
way. It is for precisely that rea-
son that the newspaper is the
best means of communication be-
tween producers and distributes on
the one hand and consumers on
the other. 1t gives the advertiser
more for his money than he can
obtain through any other channel
of publicity.

THERE has been a great outcry
about the assessments as made in
Sussex county by the democratic
papers, but for the past few weeks
they have been very silent on the
subject and the cause may be found
in the records of the Levy Court in
the fact, that out ofthe many com
plants, there was but one district
in the whole county where the
assessment was so poorly made,
that it was not accepted by the
court; but was thrown out, and a
new assessment ordered made.
That one district is Seaford, and
the assessor there is a simon pure
democrat, elected at the last cleo
ton. Whose OK is gored now?

WASHINGTON LETTER.

I write you amid the fan fare of
trun.pets the beating of bass drums
and while the great procession is
returning from the Capitol to pass
the reviewing stand of the Presi-
dent. I hsye seen many parades
20 back and fourth on this historic
avenue but this one think excell-
ed them all in pomp of drum ma
iors, length and orderliness of
procession and in the numbers and
enthusiasm of the throngs of spec
tators. The Presidents salute of
twenty one guns from the Navy
ward and a like number from Fort
Myer and from Fort Washington
are still booming.
There were about thirty thous-
and men In line, six thousand reg
ulars, twelve thousand National
Guards and two thousand cadets.
There were over fifty Civic organ
izations in the parade. The pres
ence Of Porto Ricans and Fillipiuos
added to the picturesquencss Of the
scene.
The President left the White
House at eleven O'Clock and pro-
ceeded up the avenue to the Cap
itol accompanied by a troop Of his
own Rough Riders, those who had
beeu with him in Cuba. They
were a fine looking group of men
bt,t il was only with difficulty they
concealed their chagin at being
on heavy artillery horses

GOVERNOR Lea purposes that all
legislation shall be on the level, or
it will meet the fate of that private
snake bill passed for the purpose
of having the balance of Sussex
county build a piece of public road
near Millsboro for the benefit OF
the land owners of that particular
district, and which the Governor
very promptly vetoed on the
grounds of it being contrary to the
constitution of the state. We be-
lieve that no mistake was made

IT must be a source Of pride to
Delawarians who have any patriot
ism at all to contemplate the part
this little state played in the great
est pagent that this country ever
saw at the Inauguration of the
President of the United States.
From Governor Lea down to the
private soldier in the ranks there
was every reason why a son OF
Delaware should be proud of his
native state. It was good to look
upon, and better to take part in.

Letters to the Editor.

Mr.. EDIToR:-
Agriculture is one of the Oldest,
as it one of the noblest of voca-
ton. It's history is lost in tradi-
tions of the ancient world, and,
tilling the soil was a command, for
it was said, "that by the sweat of
thy brow shalt thou eat bread"
imposed at the garden of Eden.
From that day to this the farmer
has been a recognized force in the
world. Now to the point (and
pardon the presumtiousness) Do
you or do you not believe, that an
agricultural column would be in
teresting and beneficial to the
many readers of the CHRONICLE?
The CHRONICLE has a wide cir
culation over an agricultural terri
tory: and while it is fact, that
many of your readers take and read
several papers devoted to agricul
ture, a great many do not read any
other paper but the CHRONICLE.
We know this to be the case in
many families here.
1 admit that 1t is not this class
alone that would be benefited.
There are successful farmers,
fruit growers and truckers in Del
aware, who were greatly aided in
making a success by the agricul-
tural papers, bulletins and farmers
institutes, and these people can
give better advice with more re-
liable information as to growing
special crops, than thoes at dis
tance. For instance, a fruit grow
er in New York or Michigan may
tell his success in growing tree
fruits and berries; he tell about how
the ground was prepared, the time
of setting, the varieties he planted,
his method of cultivation, etc.
which would not be at all apoli-
cable to this country or its soil.
His soil is different, the citrate
are different, and the
varieties that proved a success there
may not do well here, or even be
a failure.
Let the farmers in a few pointed
words express their views as to
what they think of it, and if it will
not be crowding your valuable
matter, give us and agri-
cultural column, where those who
have found a variety of merritt, or
where new methods have brought
better results, can be told of.
Whether it be in the fruit line,
about wheat or corn, potatoes or
let them tell it.
Let them tell of how they spray
ed an orchard, vines or any of
those little experiences. Let there
be questions asked and answered
by those who have made a success.

MR. Rp1roR:-

Mr.. EDIToR:-
When the writer was a boy he
had to dig about and cut from his
fathers peach trees the canker
worm, where under the outer rind
near the root crown it had made a
snug winter home.
recollection of that experience
/ have made some effort to discover
a preventive better than a cure.
Experience led me finally to gas
tar, In which / have found COM
plete success, applied round about
the,peach or plum tree, four to six
inches above ground. in June or
July when the wasp like mother in
gaudy colors may be seen in de-
posit of the canker worm eggs.
My last application was on June
bud trees of tender bark, not much
over a year from seed. Instead Of
injury they made a vigorous
growth, retaining dark green fol-
iage after some light frost in No
vember. As l have now retired

The publisher just her desires to
state, that one or more columns of
the Chronicle are at the disposition
of the farmers or the public for the
purpose suggested in the above
proposition. We realize the great
value it would be to the farmers,
the country and to the paper, and
will give our hearty support to the
proposition. Men like James B..
Gilchrist, J. J. Rosa, Charles Bar
ker, w. 1. Simpson, B. F. B. Wood
all and a score of others we could
name, could effect far more per
results to horticulture and
farming in general through this
if carried out with bright
ness and with spirit, than all the
farmers institutes that have ever
been held in Delaware.

count of the expenses and revenues
from them. For the months OF
January and February of 1905, I

It is now past midnight and the
Inaugural celebration is ended
At twelve O'Clock the music of the
great Marine band which played il
the Pension building for the bal
ceased and the immense throng
slowly dispersed. The President
had departed some time before
having made with Mrs. Roosevelt
and the Vice-President and Mrs.
Fairbanks a circuit of the huge en-.
closure and after resting for a time
in the gallery from which he could
look down upon the crowd and
listen to the music. Every person
except the Presidential party and
the police officers admitted to the
Pension building had paid five
dollars and for those who could moi
celebrate to that amount the
inaugural committee had provided
three car loads of FIRE work which
were discharged from a point OF
vantage. On Monday a concert at
popular prices in the Pension build
ing will enable those who could
not attend the ball to see the floral
decorations of the building and to
hear portions ofthe music furnish

Ira de on the Juba River.

The Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports quotes ~an interesting article on
trade opportunities in East Africa
from the Engineering Times Of London.
The article is from the pen of Mr. ARTHUR
P. JOLLY, who, having lived in the re-
gion for nine years, knows all about the
vast commerce of the great Juba BASIN
He urges British manufacturers to take
advantage, in systematic manner Of
the immense openings for trade in
that area. The natives want iron.
copper and brass ware, building ma
terial, Goals, agricultural implements
and many other articles"
In view of the fact that the Negus of
Abyssinia, near neighbor OF the DWELL
ers on the banks of the Juba, has re-
Gently flung wide open his commercial
gates to the surplus products Of the
United States. it occurs to us to ask why
we may not kill two birds with one stone
and combine our Abyssinian commerce
with that of the Juba River. 1t is true
that our sales to MKEELIK's subjects
last year are included in the SO 1851 which
we sold to @all other Africa" but that
is no reason why We should not also
participate in the Juba River trade.
When it gets here, the Brilliant Star
Of Zanzibar, which is not far from Kis-
mayu, the seaport city Of the Juba, may
be able to throw some light on this i'm
portant subject. Meanwhile there are
q few opportunities nearer home.
