THE "WHITE-Topn MENACE

THE "WHITE-TOP' MENACE
The weed commonly known as
"white-top' is the most obstinate
pest that has ever as yet been en-
countered by the farmers.
If measures are not taken to
prevent this pest from further
spreading our whole farming com
munity is threated to be destroyed
by it, A few years ago there were
but few spots of white-top to be
seen anywhere within the limits of
this beautiful valley; at that time
people took comparatively little
notice of it, and thus it was per-
mitted to grow and further seed
until the present time, when it has
taken full possession of some
farms.
Farmers, we must come to the
front and fight this weed as we
have never fought weeds before, if
you would save your farms. Two
years ago, just for experiments
sake, | sprayed small bunch or
two with a strong solution of blue
vitrol dissolved in water, III few
days the white-top withered away
and died; the old dead tops were
allowed to remain standing, thus
preventing fresh growth of the
weed.
/ firmly believe that if the farm.
ers were united in fighting this
weed they could completely oblit.
crate this pest within the course OF
two or three years, by spraying II
with blue vitrol each year in sue
cession; several persons have tried
my experiment and say that the
spots which came up the following
year were not nearly so large a:
they were before.
Directions for preparing spray
Take about ten pounds of blue
vitrol, desolye by placing in an iror
pot, and placing on stove to hea
until vitrol is reduced to liquid
put this solution in 40 gallons o.
water, then spray every bunch o.
white.top to be seen on the place
If 40.gallon barrel can be pro
cured it will be an easy matter t;
carry into execution this simple
operation, as by placing the barre
IN a wagon one can drive from
place to place, wherever there i
any white top, when he can spra.
these spots till they are wet al
over; in few days the white-tol
will be dead, and you will have NJ
more trouble with it that season.
BY way of suggestion woul'
advise those who try my expert
ment to select a warm still day TO-
this work; if the wind is blowing
it will be difficult to spray tn
white-top as it should be sprayed
The object in view is this; b,
spraying as above stated the whit,
top is completely covered with tn
blue vitrol solution, in a few min
utes the water evaporates an
leaves the vitrol to do its work
where practicable the white-to
should be allowed to remain stand
ing after it is dead, as it prevent
a second growth.
Come, farmers, one and all, be
fore it is too late.

Gates that Hughes will be elected Cow

Herald has aloso conducted a canvass
among the Republican, Democratic and
Independence League chairmen of the
state. These estimates, the Herald
says, indicate that Mr.. Hughes will be
elected by even a larger plurality than
that indicated by its own correspond
ents.
According to the estimates Of the
Herald's correspondents, Hughes viii

Rock Of Ages" with soprano solo by
Mrs. Mary Gee and contralto solo by 4iiss

The anthem was so well sung by the

soloists were Mrs Mary Gee. Mrs. vmie
Chalmers. Miss Elizabeth Moore, MISS

to The Evening Journal to-day:
During my itinerary through rural

tomorrow. The colored man has
been aroused TO an interest never be-

The political situation in the three
ounties Of Delaware on the eve
f to-morrow's election continues to
ndicate Republican victory.
Throughout the state Congressman
zurton seems to have a decided lead
ID the contest for Congress, and his
tc-election is more than reasonably as
sured. Thomas n. Rawlins and
Thomas c. Roe win likewise be elected
treasurer and auditor of accounts, re-
spectively, by large majorities.
In New Castle county the Republi-
cans will elect every Court House Off
cial and a coroner, 10 of the 10 members
of the Legislature to be chosen.
In Kent the Republican party Will
elect Of the members of the Lesis-
lature to be chosen and in Sussex 0 of
the members to be chosen. This will
give the party 2S new assem5lymen
which. with the three holding over Re
publicans, will give the party 81 as
semblymen or four more than is neces-
sary to elect a United states Senator
on Joint ballot.
Willard Salisbury and other Demo-
cratic party managers reiterate that
their party will win IF the Republicans
don't spend money" Privately these
same managers admit that their party
cannot win under any circumstances.
The most encouraging prediction they
make 20 their followers is that RE
publican majorities viii be somewhat
reduced" They figure on reduced ma
jorities because OF Republican discord
in New Castle county, but their hopes

ORANGEMEN
HEAR DIR. Lewis
Talks TO Them on the Sub
jeCt Of "Oar Protestant
Heritage

On Sunday morning Star of Bethle-
hem Lodge Orangemen, listened to a
sermon on "Our Protestant Heritage"
In the Rodney Street Presbyterian
Church, by the pastor, the Rev. w. F.
D.. Lewis. The text Of the sermon was
Galatians v. 1, stand fast therefore in
the liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free"
After explaining the circumstances of
the text the Rev Mr.. Lewis empha-
sized the civil and religious liberty
which Professionalism had purchased for
the world. He said the word had stood
for three hundred years for spiritual
freedom, for an open Bible, for free ed
ucation, for an untrammelled con-
science and for the crown rights Of
Jesus Christ These are the principles
for which the Orange institution was
founded and for which it stands to-day.
A member of such an institution will
always defend the just rights Of every
denQmination and Of his fellow citizens,
be they Romanists or Protestants.
1T was for such liberty as we are en-
ioyng to-day that William, Prince Of
Nassau, left his native land that he
might under divine guidance subdue the
tyranny which Rome then was exercis-
ing on the religious convictions of the
Protestants. Going over to the north
Of Ireland, near Carrickfergus, the vic
tory that he won at the Battle of the
Boyne in 1890 decided the supremacy
OF the Protestant faith for the men of
the Ulster Plantation, and was an
event from which all nations derive the
liberty possessed to-day"
After speaking words of appreciation
Of the personal character of the last and
present Pont!ffs, Mr.. Lewis further said
that professionalism stood primarily for
that temporal allegiance due to the gov
ernment which protects our lives, lib
critics and property. It stands for re-
spoct for law and order. It abhors the
coercion of the citizen under pretext Of
spiritual authority in the exercise of
his rights and franchises. It will al
ways cherish the memory of such men
as Wyckliffe, Luther. Melancthon, Co
iigny the Pilgrim Fathers, Washington,
Lincoln and all such heroes who in
spire us to uphold with untiring devo-
tion those principles and institutions
which they purchased for US with their
blood"
After speaking Of the celebrated but
no less Infamous Gunpowder Plot start
cd by Lords Catesby and Percy, by
which at one blow through their serv-
ant. Guy Fawkes, the three estates OF
En1land "The King. the Mobiles and
Commons" were to be ruthlessly de-
stroyed, Mr. Lewis urged his hearers
