Farmers National Congress.

The Central Passenger and Trunk Line
Associations will give the delegates at
tending the meeting of the Farmers
National Congress at Columbus, Ohio,
rate of fare and half on the certificate
plan, provided one thousand persons pre-
will hold good in the territory Of the asso-
Citations regardless of the action of other
associations, tho l hope they will make
the same rate. The territory of the above
associations includes all of Ohio, Indiana,
New York. Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware and New Jersey, and the
southern peninsula of Michigan, so much
of Illinois as is south of a line from
Chicago to Peoria and Burlington, West
Virginia north of Charlestown, the
northern part of Virginia. and the portion
of Ontario reached by the Michigan Gen.
tral, Pere Marquette and Wabash roads.
But naturally regardless of the course of
the other associations the great bulk Of
the 1000 required must come from the
Central and Trunk Line territory. We
trust therefore that there will be tremen-
dous hustle to get as many delegates as
possible within this line not only for the
benefit those who attend the meeting will
receive, but in order that as many may
help as possible to get the reduced rate
for themselves and others. Every ticket
sold helps every delegate to secure the
reduced rate. The meetings will be in
teresting and profitable. Further infor-
nation can be secured from the secretary.

upon them and others the need and re-
sponsibility of more efficient and effectual
teaching of the word of God. and to in
crease the total enrolment and attendance
of the children and adults in our schools.

Experiments With Wheat At State
Farm.

Last week the threshing of the wheat
under test at the Delaware State Farm
was completed. The yields this year
have been very good. Twenty-Five of the
so varieties under test made 80 bushels or
more per acre. Sixvarieties made above
IS bushels, while two yielded more than
40 bushels per acre. s
The results of the experimental work
with wheat now cover four years, and in
dicate in general way some facts of
practical importance to the wheat grower.
For instance, bearded varieties have
proved somewhat more productive than
the smooth varieties. although there are a
few exceptions. Out of some seventy
varieties tested during the past four years,
most of the high-yielding varieties have
been of the bearded type. The bearded
varieties seem more resistant to certain
diseases such as scab (Fusareum roseum),
(Colletotdichum cereale) and loose smut
(Uctiloge tricise.) Also the soft or white
wheats have, as class, yielded less than
the red wheats. Of the twenty-five varie-
ties which produced more than 80 bushels
per acre this season, 20 were of the beard
ed type and ID were varieties with red
grain.-Newark Post.

Friday Large Attendance and
Interesting Exercises.

Valley Grange, of Principle, royalty
entertained Pomona Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, of Cecil county at an all-day
picnic on Woodlawn camp grounds last
Friday. Pomona Grange is composed of
the four oranges of the county, Elkton,
State Line, Chesapeake City and Valley
The grangers and others attending the
picnic made gathering of 500 persons
and fine days outing resulted.
The program for the day was COM
menced at 1890 a. m. A. M. McNamee,
of Principle, Worthy Master of Pomona
Grange, opening the exercises with the
regular order of business which occupied
the time until noon. when dinner was
served by the Aid Society of Hopewell
church.
Included in the morning business was
a report from J. H. Kimble, member of
the Parcels Post Committee, who reported
on the progress of the measure now
pending.
The afternoon was devoted to addresses
by number of able speakers, the first of
whom was Chas. c. Councilman, Presi-
dent of the Farmers commission and the
alfalfa king" of Baltimore county. In
very interesting talk he told how he had
made such remarkable success of
raising alfalfa and now has his farm
thoroughly inoculated. with n acres
growing this year.
DIR. Richard Hill, Director of Farmers
Institutes, was the next speaker and gave
an interesting address on the value of or
ganization among the farmers. He stated
that the institute held at Rising Sun last
February was one of the largest and most
successful held in the state and was
afraid the hall capacity of the town would
not be sufficient for the attendance here
next year.
A song entitled Because He Joined
the Grange" was sung by Mrs. A. M.
McNamee, Miss Garrett and Mr.. John
Astle. with Miss Tacey Williams as or
ganist and the grangers joining in the
chorus. The song was of humorous
nature and elected much applause.
Worthy Master McNamee presented
Gov. A. L. Crothers as the next speaker
who in an able address dwelt on num-
Der of topics connected with the farm
legislation. The good roads movement
also received considerable of his attention
and he told what had already been ac-
complished, what was yet to be done and
how the necessary funds were being
raised from automobile licenses, increased
liquor licensesin Baltimore city, increased
collateral inheritance tax and other minor
sources which together were yielding
yearly income of nearly one million
dollars for the sinking fund for the pay
ment of the bonds issued.
G. H. Hibberd, Of the U. S. Dairy Divi-
sion. of Washington, gave brief address
on More Profit From the Dairy" and
was followed by DR.. August Stabler,
State Grange lecturer, who gave most
interesting and instructive address on
Forage Crops for Dairy Cattle"
This concluded the afternoon exercises,
after which supper was furnished by the
Aid Society and in the evening festival
was held by the Valley Grange. The
whole affair was a fattering success and
reflects much credit on the enterprise of
the members of Valley Grange.
