Increase Wheat Yield

The second Bulletin OF the Di-
vision OF Agricultural Extension,
under the Delaware College De-
partment o; Agriculture, is being
distributed in which Suggestions
on Wheat Growing in Delaware"
are set forth by A. Z. Grantham,
Agronomist at the State farm.
The subject is treated in a practi-
cable, simple manner, which places
the results Of painstaking and ex-
pensive experimenting in the hands
of the farmer, giving him the ben
eft OF the actual experience which
the writer has gained from his
work.
Wheat, we are told, ranks sec
ond among the crops OF Delaware,
being surpassed in gross value only
by our corn crop.
Experiments on the farm have
shown how the yield can be in
creased-and in the bulletin the
results are Interestingly told. Pro-
fessor Grantham shows how, by
an increased yield of two or three
bushels, Our increase would mean
about S25o,ooo. Delaware sows
annually about $4,000 acres o.
wheat worth nearly $I,Ioo,ooo.
Soil, crop rotation, seed bed
preparations. fertilizers, time, rate
and methods of seeding are taker
up and discussed in a way thai
| can be understood. "Seed Selec-
tons" and Varieties as tested or
the Farm" should be read by all
One point Of special interest tc

Of all, they are founded on actua

WORK FOR SOCIAL BETTERMENT IN NEWARK

The coming OF mid-Septenlber
has brought the usual stir o. acti-
v;ty to the town, and with it the
oft repeated accusation recurs-
that Newark lacks cordiality to-
ward her student population. IN
unconscious contradiction of su>h
an idea. we hear words of welcome
for the boys on every hand
There has been surprisingly lit
tie social opportunity afforded at
times, it does seem, but this we
believe, is due to that apathy which
may so easily overtake a COM
munity, a listlessness merely, ra-
ther than a genuine indifference is
at first may seem.
Societies and clubs too often
concentrate their energies on abb
stract principles or issues thous-
ands of miles away when an obll-
cation lies at their own door. The
writeu recalls an instance OF a
we'll known club woman who was
working enthusiastically for all
legislation pertaining to juvenile
reform. Suddenly the sorrow OF
her washerwoman broke in upon
her ears-a story OF repeated mis-
demeanor of her boy, which be-
came the greatest burden OF the
tired, overworked mother. The
club woman became conscious that
her contribution to relieve oile
great social problem that sur
rounds us was in relation to the
welfare of that one child. Inc
conviction was embodied in ac'
ton to which the neglected little
chap responded and his record be-
came changed one.
! Newark's societies and organi'
cations can center upon no more
worthy end than that OF uplifting
Newark post., 1911-09-13

the social lie OF Our community.
We all crave association and SYM
pathy. The more strenuous the
labor which occupies our working
hours, the greater the demand for
pleasure and entertainment during
the lazy mans part of the day.
The Settlement solution of the
outbreaks of disorder among the
immigrant quarters of great cities
is founded on the idea that they
have been robbed cf social life.
Cut off from their old associations
in the home land, the Americans
shrug of contempt and self right
eous exclusiveness have too often
driven the immigrant to a loneli-
ness which robs him of desire
to conform to even the stand
ard that was upheld by the social
ties of old.
The reputation of our town is
that of a hustling one. AS our
industrial development establishes
itsel: on firm basis, shall we not
require the social life Of the COM
munity to equal it's pace?
Those capable of better Ehings
too often refer to the prevalent
social customs with sneer, ra-
ther than make the slightest at
tempt to uplift the same.
We need force in the COM
munity to lead us into an appre-
citation of the book-world, the out
of-doors, the beautiful everywhere
around us-an acquaintance with
those blessings which no amount
, Of worldly misfortune can take
, away.
How many of these ideas might
be embodied in an institution SINH
lar to Y. M. c. A.?
The approaching winter lays an
other opportunity at our feet. Can
we not meet it with at least an ef-
| JforN howard something that is
worth while?

PROGRESS OF
GREAT ROAD

All Delaware watches with in
terest the progress of her new
roadway and Georgetown is re-
joicing over the decision OF the
State Commission and preparing
to take care of the workmen soon
to come to that town.
Shortly after the decision had
been given which fixed the route
the hust shovelful of dirt was
thrown on the new road by Sgd
ney Henry, business manager for
General DUPONT.
Many farmers who live along
the route have received big offers
for their land, one man who has
been offering his place for $4,000,
refusing a cash offer Of $500.
1900 men are expected to reach
Georgetown within a few days,
while stables have already been
prepared for 10 teams Of mules.
Two traction engines have arriv-
ed and are in readiness to haul the
gravel to the road as fast as it can
be leveled.
Engineer Aiken, from Scotland

AID Monsieur Storms, an expert
roadbuilder from Paris, arrived lasi
week and took up their headquar-
ters on reputed salaries OF $4,000
a year. They at once held con-
situations with the engineers now
on the job, and will act as consult
ing engineers. Another celebrat

Discounted Automobiles

Many automobilists were the
victims OF inconvenience last
Thursday, when both the Rose
vile and Red Mill bridges were
down. The recent storm had
swept the temporary bridge from
Roseville and had made the old
bridge unfit. for use. Temporary
bridges under course of erection
at both places were not yet COM
pleted. Many experiences mark
ed the progress OF the travellers OF
the day.
One automobilist rounding the
curve in front of the Vought home
stead, very suddenly ran with full
force into the rope that marked
the danger line. He had been
driving fast and was unable to
stop the machine. The heavy rope
was broken in two places, a piece
of which hit the driver in the face
with force, causing severely cut
lip. Medical assistance was ne
cessary.
A wave of appreciation followed
the temporary discontinue. The
number of touring cars passing
over the route during the last OF
the week, seeming unprecedented

FALL MEETING OF
POMONA GRANGE

lin INV >dotlS Soutily -
mona Grange met last Thursday |
at the home of Arnold l~auua, i,
in Mill Creek Hundred. About |
800, were pr esent. All the guests
brought baskets, and at noon a
farmers lunch was served.
The usual business occupied the
hour just before luncheon. After
luncheon Prof. Hayward gave an
informal talk to the men on the
conformation o: the dairy cow,
using one of Mr.. Naudain's choice
registered Jerseys to illustrate rs
remarks.
The principal speaker OF. the day
and the guest of honor, was the
Master of the National Grange,
Hon. N. J. Bachelor, Ex-Governor
of New Hampshire. Gov. Bache-
lor's remarks were confined prin-
cipallv to the achievements of the
Grange during the past IS years OF
it's existence. He has been close
ly identified with the work of the
order for the past 28 years, filling
nearly all of the positions from
that of gate-keeper up to his pres
ent position of National Master.
For various reasons Governor
Bachelor did not refer to the part
the Grange has taken in Recipro-
city, yut emphasized the influence
of the Grange in securing Rural
Free Delivery and the work it had
done and was doing in its efforts
to obtain the passage OF bill in
the National Congress giving the
country practical Parcels Post.
The Governor took special de-
light in emphasizing his satisfac-
ton in having been honored as
he has by the Grange, and stated
that he took more pride in his
| office o: Master of the National
Grange, considering what the
Grange stood for, than he did in
being the chief executive OF the
| Commonwealth sof New Hamp-
shire, although it was largely
through Grange efforts that he
filled that office so successfully for
t term.
The next speaker was Hon. S.
II. Messick, Worthy Master oi
the State Grange, whose address
was very happy one, following
along the same lines as that oi
Governor Bachelor. He called the
attention Of the Grangers to the
achievements Of the order in this
State, making special reference tc
the part the Grange played in Sc
curing the State farm for the USE
Of Delaware College, the subse
quent appropriations for its equip
ment, and for the passage Of tn
act creating a department o. Ag
ricultural Extension in the Col
lege.
The program was intersperse'
with music, the duet bv two littl,
girls-daughters OF Ex-Senato
Groves and Irwin Ball-beins
worthy of special mention.
