GREAT WHEAT YEAR PROMISED
Despite Thin Crop in Places, Authori-
ties Believe There is a Big Yield in
Delaware-Hovering About 90cts

While this is the day of dollar
wheat (only some having been sold
thus far at 80 cents or less than a
dollar) some of the Delaware farmers
are disappointed this year in general
results. Notwithstanding their dis
appointment, because wheat has been
thin in some quarters, the highest
authority in the State gives it out
that the harvest and threshing now
on will reveal that this has been a
greater wheat year than ever. In
1909, Delaware had 118, 900 acres in
wheat. The wheat stayed around
dollar and over and the word spread
broadcast "sow more wheat. - In
1870 in consequence, about all the
wheat ground allotted for last year
and more too, was sOwn. Averaging
the yield this year at 16 bushels to
the acre, the yield will be about J.,
900, 600 bushels. Practically no wheat
is ever abandoned or plowed under
in Delaware. There are parts of
lower Delaware which are not adapt
ed to wheat growing for large yields.
/ The sandy condition of the soil oper-
ated against any heavy crops, but
this year the growth in lower Sussex
couty is much more satisfactory ir
some places than was ever expected.
Northern Kent county and the upper
county of New Castle, however are
admirably adapted to heavy whea'
growing. The scarcity in lower Del
aware pulls down the average in this
State this year, therefore to II
bushels. Improved methods and th'
incentive to raise for a buOyan
market will undoubtedly operate t
increase both the acreage and yiel'
next year. Delaware was one of tn
first of the wheat raising States an
experiments are being made to pu
her in the foreground. A Della
warean has been over to Spain an
brought to this country and raise
for seed next year very hard
Spanish wheat which will yield muc
, heavier and be able to stand tn
) beating storms more satisfactOril
r because of heavier straw.

AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Sermon of Rev. j. {. Franklin-Miss
Helen Kisell, Scranton, Pa. Sings.

Sermon of Rev. j. E. Franklin-Miss
Helen KiselI, Scranton, Pa. Sings.
At the Presbyterian Church last
Sunday morning the Rev. J. E.
Franklin gave his audience some les
sons founded on the text as recorded
in Gen. 43: 303l, "And Joseph
made haste for his bowels did yearn
upon his brother and he sought
where to weep" He said the text
suggested the subject of his re-
marks repressing ones thought.
Men will think thoughts and words
are moving the world. Joseph was
a good man, thoughtful man and
although he had been exalted to the
governership of Egypt he had his
heartaches and troubles. We all
have them; none of US are exempt.
There are times when we shOuld
carry them in our bosom and not
worry our friends with burdens which
we ourselves should carry. Refer
ence was made to the skeleton in the
closet, which is so often exposed,
It's better to have a thought of Chris
before PLATE, "He answered never
word" A very fine solo was rem
dered by Miss Helen Kisel, of Scran'
ton, Pa.--Next Sunday twilight
services at 6. 80, subject 1.-The Noun
tains of the Bible" Mount Arara

BIDS FOR A POSTOFFICE
SITE MUST Be IN MONDAY
WILL BE OPENED IN WASHINGTON
AT 10 O'CLOCK NEXT MONDAY
Probable That Only Four Bids Will Be
Sent ln-Much Interest Awaited the
Coming of Government Agent.

Next Monday morning at 10
o'clock is the closing hour for re-
ceiving proposals for site for the
new S25, 600 Federal Building which
was granted to Smyrna by the recent
session of Congress. So far only
four known bids have been put in
or arranged for and of these only
two are corner properties. This is
the Reynolds-Phillips-Catts proper
ties, corner of Commerce and Market
streets; the W. H. Carr property on
Market street; the Smyrna House
property &c. P. Gears owner) on
Mainstreet, and the Basket Mill site
John P Hudson owner) corner Of
Commerce and Pearl streets. Other
proposals may have been made direct
to the Department but so far as
known, these are about the only ones
which will.be sent in from Smyrna.
In each individual case the property
owner was asked to submit a plot
and to give detailed information
along with his bid. These will be
opened and read at Washington on
Monday and when it is convenient
for the Supervising Architect to dc
so, he will come or send his repre-
sentative to Smyrna to look further
into the matter and take the ques-
tion up in person. There is appa-
rently a division between the Mair
street and the Commerce street en-
thusiasts which promises to be more
closely drawn as time draws near.
The larger part of the citizens re
siding west of Main street(and which
includes the greater half of the town
are preferable to seeing the Fed
eral Building erected on Commerce
street west of Main street, for the
convenience it will be to the create
number of Smyrna people. Mail
street residents, on the other hand
who take great pride in their ne'
paved street, feel that the Fedora
Building will show off better o
Main street and are booming tn
Smyrna House site as the most con
venient location. How this littl
E rivalry will terminate remains to b
f seen. The Government Representative
9 when he comes to Smyrna and look
f over the ground may clear up the sit
f uation. At any event, there is gres
o Joy at the prospect of new and W
n to-date postfioce building and it
not thought there will be the trOub
v that kept Milford back so long.

Standard Oil company intends to

Interests which regard them
selves as the direct object of the

IMPORTANT CITY
CASES At
OLYMPIA

Judge Stiles is at Olympia to-
day, where the supreme court is TO
take up the cases in which the city
is interested.
Six appeals are up. Four of
them have a bearing on the street
car situation. One involves the
right of the city to regulate the
operation of cars and to say how
often they shall run. In this case
the lower court held with the city
and fined Superintendent Boutell
500 for failure to operate on
scedule fixed by ordinance.
Another case decided favorable
to the city by the lower court de-
mands the issuance of transfers to
and from the Traction line. A
third case won below by the city
holds that the street car company
must give five-cent fare to all in
side the city limits.
A fourth case which has some
bearing on the street car PROPOSE
ton is the greater Tacoma election
case, which Judge Clifton decided
for the company and thus knocked
out the election in which the big
district voted to join the city. If
the supreme court reverses Cliff
ford, the vote will hold and it will
be up to the council to accept the
big district.
Then, if the court upholds the
five-cent fare decision of the lower
court, there will be five-cent fare
clear to the city limits of PuyallupI
and Steilacoom and down to-
on the south.
