EFFORT TO BOOST CORN CROP

Delaware Legislature Asked for Large
Appropriation for State Board Ag-
ricuture to Encourage Growing
The sudden turning of hundreds of
thousands to the raising of thorough
bred poultry, the demand for thirty
cent turkeys, the buoyant market
for ten, fifteen and even twenty
cent pork, and then the one hundred
or more commodities and chemicals
that may be m ade from it-have all
so increased the stability of the corn
crop that the State of Delaware is
determined to have her farmers 90
scientifically into the corn business.
Corn is bound to bring some return,
and probably bountiful one TO the
planter in this State, and its popu-
larlty and general following is
greatly increasing throughout the
State. The farmer not only has the
prime corn to sell or to grind into.
meal, hominy or craclings, I" but
he has also his fodder for provender
and feed through the winter, and his
"nubbins" or cuttings from the corn
The Delaware Legislature will, this
week, be petitioned for a larger
appropriation to the State Board of
Agriculture to better interest and
educate the farmers toward increas-
ing the States agricultural possi-
bilities, but particularly so that Del
aware farms can grow more corn and
waste places may be turned over,
fertilized and planted in corn. There
has been steady increase in the
yield of corn per acre, since the
subject of corn growing was first
discussed in this State by the State
authorities and at Institutes.

NEW STATE DEPARTMENT
Proposal to Erect Building at Dover
For State Agricultural Bureau.-A
Scheme to Pay For Building

One of the most remarkable inno-
vations in State matters to be pro-
posed to the present Legislature is
now being worked out by several of
the farmer members together with
Senator George F. Pierce, of Mil
ford, who is interested in the ferti-
lizer business. One of the leading
Republican members of the House
interested is Representative Evans,
who is State Lecturer for the Patrons
Husbandry. The proposition is to
establish Department of Agricul-
ture and Horticulture and State lab
ratory in Dover, construct a COM
modious new building for the same,
have permanent exhibit of farm
products and the byproducts there
of, and have, probably on the second
floor, the State laboratory in charge
of the State chemist and his assist
ants. The whole campaign for such
department has grown out of the
unsatisfactory workings of the State
laws requiring the analysis of fer
tilizers. Under DR.. T. R. Wolf 8
administration as State chemist, the
fee was reduced to $40, but when
Professor Penny came as State
chemist, he interpreted the law to
read that every ton of fertilizer
mixed for sale in this State would
have to be analysed. This has stop
ped the mixture of home fertilizers
and it is claimed has "frozen out''
many of the small concerns which
supply a particular kind of fertili-
ger, necessary to some farmers, but
only in small lots. The remedy is,
as is now proposed, a tonnage tax,
like that in operation in Virginia.
Under the law, every brand anC
mixture of fetilizer is analyzed, but
if the dealer only sells small por
tion, he merely pays a small tax
but if he sells much, he pays heavily
This revenue, it is claimed, will b'
enough to warrant the construction o:
the proposed new agricultural build
ing and the payment of all salaries
and up-keep. The real estate mel
of the State, it is claimed, are il
hearty accord with the move.

Henry A. DUPONT of Wilmington,

term of six years. All of the re-

for DUPONT. He was allowed to
change his vote. The election of Du-
Pont was expected. The latter had
played a trump card by sending
DR.. Heisler Ball to Dover a week ago

A new high value has been placed
on Smyrna realestate. At the adminisI
traitors sale of the property of Judy
Purnell, colored, corner of Main and
Chestnut streets. the two properties
were knocked off to Misses Mary E.

No one dreamed they would bring
more than s110O or $1,000 and some,
knowing the condition of the proper
ties, did not think they would bring
$1,000. The high price at which the
properties were bid has placed new
value on Main Street realestate and
many think it due to the new brick
street, and to the marked improve
ment made in recent years to prop
critics on the lower end of said
street. 1t is understood the Misses
Spruance will improve and rent

DEATH RECORD OF THE WEEK
Many Years a Prominent Farmer

James Snow. for many years a we'll
known contractor and influential
citizen of LeipsIc, died Thursday,
the 10Th inst, at the home of his

ness aged 80 years. He had been
in failing health for some time and
had been making his home with his
only daughter. The death of the
deceased removes one of the old land
marks of Leipsic. He was a brother
of Captain Snow and was long
identified with the life and activity
of Leipsic. He and his sons built
the pretty Methodist Episcopal
Church, which is now an ornament to
Leipsic. He was a devout Metho-
dist and was true to the faith. Two
children survive: Mrs. George B.

he made his home, and Joseph
Snow, of Wilmington. The deceased
lost his wife some years ago. Fun
eral services were held at Camden
and the remains we're brought to
Smyrna on the noon train Monday
and were taken to Leipsic. Funeral
services were continued in the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, where in
life he worshipped, and interment
was made in the Leipsic Cemetery.
The Rev. F. S. Barrett, his pastor,
had charge of the services.
