George M. Maddox, father of Mrs.

Notwithstanding the highest state
of cultivation of any of the land of
Sussex county, when it comes to
raising potatoes, a two-acre plot at
the county almshouse takes the
palm. Recently the overseer, Leroy
B. Tindal, of Georgetown, gathered
from the two acres of land six hun
dred and three bushels of tubers,
which is considered to be a phenom-
email yield for any section of the
county or on any piece of land.
Monday night of last week fire of
an unknown origin destroyed buila-
ing at Bacon's Sussex County. owned
by j. 7. Thompson and occupied by
HIM as a dwelling, store and post
office. The blaze had gained a great
headway before the fire was discov-
cred and practically nothing was
saved. The total loss will probably
reach 81, 900 with about $500 insur-
ance.
Although two months prior to the
hitting season, huntsmen and gunners
are taking walks across the country
and report that this will be "a year
of abundance for all rabbits. squir-
rels and partridges, with some
pheasant coveys appearing here and
there. There is feeling, however,
that the only way to thoroughly re-
habilitate Delaware as a hunting
ground is to have three or five
year closed and prohibitory season.
AS an example of the increased
value of farm lands in Delaware. it
is stated in Dover that C. B. Will
llams, who purchased a farm and
home twenty-eight years ago in the
eastern section of South Murderkill
hundred, near Dover, for 81, 900 has
just been offered S19, 900 for the
same farm by a land buyer from
Indiana. Mr.. Williams refused the
offer on account of the farm being
his life home, and said to the pros
pective buyer: elf this farm is
worth $l9, 900 to you, it is certainly
worth that to me and l do not wish
to SELL" He has brought his aver
age corn production up in twenty-five
years from twenty bushels to the
acre to nearly sixty.
The State agricultural authorities
are making arrangements for a big
conference of farmers, fruit growers
and producers to be held at Dover in
December, with a view to ascertain
ing in a two or three days session
just what State legislation would be
the greatest aid to farming and ar
incease in the products and wealth
of the State. With this in view
some great men in agriculture are
being appealed to TO come here with
modern progressive ideas and Offer
suggestions. DR.. L. H. Bailey OF
Ithaca, NY :, who was chairman Of
Roosevelt's noteworthy Country Life
Commission and who is connected
with the great agricultural school a
Cornell, is one of the big men ap
peale9 to, but he cannot come.
