WHEAT YIELDS TURN OUT
BAD FOR SMYRNA FARMERS
SOME BEST FARMS ONLY HAVE
A YIELD OF SIX BUSHELS.
Bearded Wheat Gives Better Results.
H. P. Hazel Having the Banner
Yield of pa Bushels to Acre.

Farmers of this vicinity are in the
midst of their wheat threshing and the
results generally speaking are hardly
averaging more than ten bushels to
the acre. The bearded wheat as a
rule, is turning out better than the
bald or beardless. Fields of the latter
species have been giving our farmers
as low as and bushels to the acre,
most discouraging and profitless
result. The bearded wheat, however,
is turning out very satisfactory. The
banner yield in this vicinity is that
of Herman P. Hazel, who finished
threshing last week and received a
fraction over "a bushels to the acre.
Harry Slaughter on the State road
from Il acres received 478 bushels or
an average of % bushels to the acre.
E. W. Lapham, Harry Lower and a
number of others in this vicinity will
average around 20 bushels to the acre.
Samuel FOrtner received 900 tons from
so acres from which he had only used
seven tons of phosphate. Down at
Cheswold, Jefferson Cooper received
only IA bushels on field that should
have yielded him 25 bushelsto the acre.
Mr.. Cooper's wheat did not touch the
barn but was delivered to the railroad
siding for $1.15 per bushel. Joseph
Robinson of the "Big Oak" did not
have large yield but the wheat was
of good quality. He sold it at once
and received $125 per bushel. The
prevailing high market price for gooC
quality wheat and the disappointment
over the small yields, is matter of
more or less discussion among all
farmers.

FLATTERING CALL COMES
TO PRINCIPAL BURDETTE
LEAVES TO BECOME PRINCIPAL
OF ANNE ARUNDEL ACADEMY
Will Receive a Salary Equivalent to
$1,000 or $500 a Year-Academy
at MelIersviIle Near Annapolis.

Supervising-Principal John P. Bur-
dette of the Smyrna High Schools
has rendered his resignation to the
Board of Directors to take effect
at once. Mr.. Burdette will leave
in a few days for Millersville, Md,
where he has accepted the principal
ship of the Anne Arundel Academy a
boarding school eleven miles from
Annapolis, which prepares young men
and young ladies for college. Mr..
Burdette received the call last Mon
Gay after making visit to the in
stitution and talking over the mat
ter with the Rev. Charles W. Bald
win, DID,, president of the Board of
Trustees. Mr.. Burdette accepted the
position with a salary and board
equivalent to $1,000 or $500 a year.
Mrs. Burdette will be matron of the
institution. The Academy had an en-
rollment last year of 40 or more
students and being pleasantly sit
uated between Baltimore and An
napolis, is attractive for young
people training for a college course.
Mr.. Burdette will have the complete
supervision of the Academy and the
large farm in connection with the in
stitution. He is but a compare
/ lively short distance from his old
Maryland home where he was raised.
There is general regret at losing
Principal Burdette and his estimable
family from Smyrna. During the
nine years they have lived in
Smyrna, Principal Burdette has
brought the schools up to a high
standard of excellence and has given
of his time and talent to his town
and church in a manner that will
make his departure a matter of q
deep personal loss. His resignation
leaves another vacancy in the High
School to fill. Last week Prof. Ar
thur L. Gates of Baltimore wa:
elected to succeed Principal E. l.
Pontz. He has not yet notified tn,
Board whether he will accept thu
place and it may be that he will b,
advanced to the Supervising-Princi
palship to succeed Mr.. Burdette, i
he cares to have it.

AFTER NEW CASTLE COUNTY.
Anti-Saloon League Preparing for an
Active Campaign in 1910.

The Anti-Saloon League of Della
ware is moving all forces toward ru-
raj New Castle County in 1910. They
have planned their compaign and ex-
pect to keep the idea of "dry"
county before the people continually.
Last Fall they secured enough signers
to a petition to secure a resubmission
vote and as a result they will have
another election at the regular State
election. Now the temperance forces
are working day and night sending
literature and temperance papers to
the farmers and villagers in an effort
to enlist their efforts against the liq-
uor men. St. Georges Hundred was
invaded by the forces Monday in
great strength and nearly every church
was supplied with speaker. The
drys''" say that they will not quit
the fight until they win the rural sec
ton. A great rally was held at Del
aware City which was attended by
many of the people of that section.
All the remainder of Delaware is dry
and the "drys" have said that as
soon as they compete the fight on
rural New Castle County they intend
to close the saloons in Wilmington.

NEW AUTOMOBILE LAW IN FORCE
Delaware is Now on the Same Footing
as Pennsylvania and Other States.

Delaware is Now on the Same Footing
as Pennsylvania and Other States.
The announcement by the police
authorities last week that new law
pertaining to automobiles in Della
ware would be enforced, was some
what belated. On April 20, Governor
Pennewill signed a bill, passed at
the last session of the Legislature,
fixing the license fee for automobiles
at S11-$5. so for registration and the
same amount for an operators IL
cense. The law went into effect i'm
mediately. This statute applies to
automobile owners and drivers of all
other States which do not extend re-
ciprocal courtesies. For instance,
the Pennsylvania, Maryland and New
Jersey laws compel every owner to
have a license from the State in
question. Delaware owners, there
fore upon entering any of these Com
monwealths must produce a license,
or suffer the consequence. The same
law now obtains in this State. New
York, Connecticut and some other
States permit nonresident owners of
cars to use their roads. The same
courtesy as explained in the Della
ware law, is extended here. The
Wilmington policemen will keep a
sharp lookout for automobile owners
and drivers from Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Maryland who do not dis
play Delaware license, and will take
them into custody. The enactment Of
this law places Delaware on the same
footing as other States.

DEMANDS ON KENT LEVY COURT

New Roads and Bridges-W. Denney

improvements involving an extra
ordinary expenditure of $28, 1000 by

which has previously demanded and
obtained a new drawbridge at Leipsic
at cost of 81, 900. The same delga-
tion appeared with a demand for a
bridge at Martins, a new drawbridge,
to cost S., 900. Acting Secretary of
War Robert Shaw Oliver sent an
official notification to the Court that
Martins Bridge must be removed and
be replaced with a drawbridge, by
October l, 1909, the draw to allow
an opening of thirty feet in width in
the clear water over the navigable
portion. "All right" said Commits
sioner Truax, eff you would rather
have water We'll blow the bridge out
altogether. No definite action was
taken. During the day the Levy
Court received 500, 900 from the Kent
County collectors as follows: Alfred
