STILL HOLDING UP

There is some question as to wheth-
er President Taft will make a re-
cess appointment of postmaster at
Newark after the Senate adjourns, I'M

AS was stated in THE EVENING

ton of the appointment of Robert L.
Armstrong as postmaster for Newark
had been held up in the Senate and
no action would be taken on it until
after Senator DUPONT returned. The

Minister Wrote

The Rev. DR.. Joseph Brown Tur-
ner, pastor of the Dover Presbyter-
ian Church, is threatened with legal
action by Rev. A. w. Lightbourne, Phi.
D., pastor of the Peoples Church in
Dover. Dr. Ligh'bourne has retained
as counsel Secretary Of State William
T. Smithers, former United States
Senator Richard R. Kenney and John
B. Hutton, secretary of the Board Of
Trustees of the Peoples Church.
Dr. Turner is said to have sent a
letter to William Shaw, of Boston,
general secretary of the International
Christian Endeavor Society, during the
convention at Atlantic City last month
asking that DR.. Lightbourne be pre-
vented from addressing the conven-
ton. DR.. Turner in the letter is al
legged to have referred to DR.. Light
bourne in uncomplimentary terms
like "imposter."
DIR. Lightbourne was ignorant of
the existence of the letter until some
time after the convention where he
made an address. The letter was for
warded to him on his return to Dover,
and the trustees Immediately held a
meeting to take action for their pas
tor The letter was turned over to
Deputy Attorney General Watson
Harrington, and he sent it to Attor-
ney General Gray who is now con-
sidering it. In case the Attorney Gen
erals office does not take action the
matter may be turned over to the pos
tai authorities, it is said in Dover.

LIMA BEANS YIELD
HANDSOME PROFIT
Station Demon
StrateS How to Make Worn
Out Land Pay

Worn out land will yield a profit If
it is treated wisely. That is what the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
been preaching TO farmers along its
lines. But it has been doing more
than preaching it, it has been proving
it.
The Long Island Railroad proved
by means of experimental farms that
the worst ten acres on the island
could be cultivated at good profit
Now the Pennsylvania has done the
same thing with an experimental sta
ton at Bacon, Sussex county, Della
ware.
The land purchased has not been
farmed for five years. It had been
robbed of its fertility several years
earlier and. considering it worthless,
its owners let it grow up in sassafras,
sweet briar and weeds. It was in this
condition when the company's expert
took charge. BY a small application
of stable manure, about fifteen tons
per acre, and five hundred pounds of
lime, corn was raised at the rate of
forty-seven bushels an acre the first
year.
Beans Yield Big Profit.
A large variety of fruits and veget-
ables we're grown in order to deter
mine for the benefit OF the farmers in
that territory which would bring the
largest returns. Nearly everything
planted added something to the farms
income, but the best money-makers
we're lima beans, yielding a net pro-
fit of $l47.61 to the acre; cucumbers,
$104; watermelons, $52; muskmelons,
SAP; radishes. $42.7O; leeks, SAL;
onions, S4O.37, and sweet potatoes,
$4,000 per acre.
1t must be remembered that these
results were obtained during the first
year and that much better ones are
assured, as the land is strengthened.
Besides offering to farmers practi-
cal examples of what can be raised
on the re-Maryland-V Virginia
Peninsula, demonstrations of up-to-
date farming methods have been given.
! One of these, which consisted of
draining a swamp and blowing out
stumps with dynamite was attended by
over five hundred people from the sur
rounding country.
