In appointing Oliver w. Newton
as a member Of the State Board OF
Agriculture, Governor Pennewill
has made no mistake in the selec-
ton Of a man to fill the position
with credit to the State and to him
self. Oliver Newton is one of the
very best farmers in Sussex coun-
tv. and he has demonstrated his
ability to not only get results proh-
tably from farming, but he has
done much toward bringing on the
Good tide of progressive farm pros
perity which has brought Sussex
county to the front Of all counties
on the Delaware Peninsula. He IS
a man of wide experience, he IS
Young, he is energetic, and will
carry to the Office he is to fill all
that is required for advancement.
He succeeds Mr.. Harrington Mes
sick, another able farmer Of this
county, and who has occupied the
position nine years with credit. The
emoluments Of the Office are very
small, but the honor Of being at
the head of the most important in
dustry in Delaware, and acting for
the best interests fthe agricultural
interests Of the State, is the recon-
pense which is appreciated. The
State Board of Agriculture has no
political power, and the board is
composed of one democrat and two
republicans.

Discuss the Growth Of Peas for Profit.

Last Saturdays meeting was Of interest
- the members, between sixty and sew
enty being present.
Mr.. Woodall, as leader on the subject,
Growth Of Peas for Profit" said the pea
srOp had TO be hammered into the peo-
pie. Some had tried to grow peas and
stopped before the crop was a success.
Ne had not been any more successful
shan some others. Those who we're sue
aessful had encouraged those who we're
not, so that there would be large acre
age Of peas sOwn, perhaps over one thOus-
and acres, which ought to mean $40, 900
that is a low estimate. He has not been
successful in growing peas on sod land
twice. Il is necessary 70 have piece OF
Aand we'll ferlilized. Il is all right 20 SOW
PEAS on land that has grown COW peas
Sweet potato land is good, fairly good,
even corn land, il it has been in corn,
and will produce sixty to eighty baskets
Of corn, is good. if it has also had some
clover on it the previous year. A tomato
patch is a good place, as we'll. Next year
get your harrow and cut the ground all up
and let it lay until ready to use, put on
manure or fertilizer in the fall the more
{ is pulverized, rotted and mixed up with
be soil, the better it is for peas, fresh
manure in the spring is not go good. One
thing in favor of tile growth Of peas Is
hat it il q sure crop. II cultivated right
" there is no need Of a failure. They
come of early and are out Of the way be-
fore most Of the drOWth and it is hardly
ever too wet for them He plows early
and the freezing and thaWing mellOws the
soil and makes it much drier. He will
SOW the last day OF February if weather is
favorable. II one waits too long it gets
too wet. In regard TO seed, one has 70
depend on the canneries. He has plant
ed the same seed for twenty years. His
Aunt had q variety Of seed OF which she
was very choice, she planted it; fowl
walked into the garden and ate the seed
but was discovered. The hen vas Oper-
Ated upon, the seeds extracted or taken
cut, the incisiOn sewed up and the hen
went on its way rejoicing. These peas
we're re. planted and thrived, and seeds
therefrom were handed down for years.
There is great loss TO many growers in
sowing too much seed. He would not
have over two bushels on an acre with the
rows two feet apart, with the rows three
teet apart, one and One.half bushels, sow
ine with q corn planter. Sow one hun
ared pounds Of ammonia phosphate to the
acre. Sugar corn is good crop to follow
peas.
Mr.. Peet thought the sporting found in
the pea crop last season was due to the
climatic condition.
The subject 70 be considered on Feb
ruarv 18th is Disease Of the orchard and
the past years experience in spraying by
Mr.. John Short. Il will not be long, af-
ter these cold winds Of February have
