Many Improvements Made to be Shown
to Visiting Farmers on June 18th.
When the farmers of Delaware
visit the Experimental Farm at
Newark on June 18th, they will find
that those in charge of the Farm"
have not been neglecting the HOrti-
cultural interests of the State.
While the State has owned the farm
but three years, great deal has
been done toward establishing perma-
nent paintings of trees and vines.
At present there are over 5000 trees
and vines planted. Of this number
about 1900 apple trees and HOO peach
trees are in one large block. The
other fruits are also we'll represented,
as there are Sc varieties of pears, so
varieties of plums, 81 varieties of
cherries, Ga varieties of grapes, 13
varieties of apricots, Z varieties of
ounces and two varieties of necta-
rines.
The large orchard just mentioned
is made up of a few we'll know COM
mercial varieties of peaches and ap-
plies. However, a smaller orchard
contains many varieties of these
fruits, there being 80 varieties of
peaches and n varieties of apples.
A large and very elaborate expert
ment in fertilizing peaches is being
carried on in concrete pits. In con-
nection with this work, the visitor
will find a complete meteorological
station installed. This experiment
is unique in that there is no other
like it in the world. Several years
will be needed to complete the ex-
pertinent, and it is hoped that a great
deal of light will be shed upon the
function of different plant foods ir
feeding peaches.
A large number of tomato anC
potato varieties are being grown.
Cantaloupes are being tested, anc
rtilizer tests are being carried OF
with tomatoes and potatoes. Every
fruit grower in the State should no
fail to see the thrifty young peacl
and apple orchards.
Since last years gathering O.
farmers, the lawn in front of thu
Manor house has been graded ant
seeded down and great improvement
has been made toward beautifying tn,

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON
News of Interest of Men and Affairs
at the National Capital

The bill to change the Presidents
Inauguration from the deadly March
the 4th to the spring last Thurs
day in April has again failed to
secure the requisite two-thirds vote
in Congress. There are lot of pro-
vincial Congressman of the type of
"Uncle Joe" Cannon of Danville,
ILL.,, who have grudge against the
capital of their country and pretty
much everybody within its borders.
The cause of this malignant feeling
is perhaps the resentfulness that
every boor feels when brought in
contact with more refined living,
nobler architecture and higher edu-
cation than that he is accustomed to
at home. 1t is to the credit of
Congress in this respect that large
majority, nearly two-thirds, are in
favor of a change which will add
nearly two months, to the short ses-
sion of Congress, making this session
average five months instead of three,
and will enable the hundreds of
thousands who come to Washington
once in four years to witness the
most impressive pageants and cere
monies with fair security to health
and comfort. All will agree with
the proposition that it is desirable to
have good weather at the time the
President of the United States is
inducted to the grave duties of his
office, and that the women and child
rem and men who come from afar
should not imperil their lives in
rigorous weather, such, for example,
as characterized the Inauguration of
President Taft. The short session of
ninety days interrupted by the
Christmas holida, has been a grow
ing inconvenience, especially wher
the increasing legislative business Of
the country is taken into account.
By changing the Inauguration date tC
the last Thursday in April, TIVE
months will be added to the short leg
islative session.

Interesting Facts Learned Regard.
ing Work Of W. n. Buckley.

New York, March 23-Although Will
liam II. Eotchkiss, the state superin-
tendent or insurance. was still unable
tc gain positive proof that money was
used to buy votes at Albany in fire
insurance legislation, he did develop
some interesting facts at today's SEES
sion OF the inquiry in regard To the
work of William H. Buckley.
Buckley is an Albany lawyer who
started practice in 1901. Three years
later, according TO testimony. he was
getting well on toward 100000 Il year
from insurance companies for his le-
gal services. Before he was admitted
to the bar. Buckley was connected
with the state insurance department
From 1892 10 1896 he was a clerk In
the department and then until 1o"' :
was third deputy insurance super
intendent.
While he was deputy superintendent.
according to his own testimony today,
he obtained three loans amounting to

latiVe agent of the fire Insurance COM
just such loans as these Sheldon was
dcposcd from his company several
months ago, was indicted and died "a
broken man at Greenwich. CT, without
ever being brought to trial.
Buckley found it profitable to repre-
sent the fire insurance companies, but
he testified today that he never APP
peared in court for them, never went
before legislative committees: in fact
he couldn't remember just what he did
Go. He could only say that in a gener

companies and that he had kept no
