Action of Court.

Baltimore, Nov. 16.-Rev. William
Kirk Johnson, colored, of Whitestone,
Va, was before Justice Grammar, at the
Central Police Court yesterday morn
ing on the charge Of false pretenses.
Rev. JOB nson was arrested on war
rant sworn out by Michael Griffin, who
conducts a garage at Park avenue and
Howard street. Griffin testified that
johnson appeared at the garage about
four days ago and after examining all
the machines IN stock, selected one for
trial, saying that if he was pleased
with it he would purchase it. The au-
tomobile was valued at 81, 200 and Rev.
Johnson secured it and the services OF
a chauffeur on the strength of bill OF
sale showing that he had purchased a
horse valued at So 900 on his personal
note, and a deposit OF 81 with Griffin.
In tue topr days the colored parson
had the machine. using the vernacular
of the garage, be did the town." He
became dissatisfied with the first ma
chine and chauffeur. Rev. Johnson
used the automobiles extensively, keep
ing them going both day and night.
He visited friends on Spring street,
was driven up in front of colored res
taurants OF Druid Hill avenue, and one
day motored to fimonium. When the
deal was made he is alleged to have
promised to pay for the car on last
Monday, but on that dav he told Grit

pected had not arrived. He then
promised TO pay for the machine yes

swore out warrant. The parson was
rrested ut Union station.
At the police station the parson said
he had intended purchasing the auto

ECHO OF THE DAUGHTERS.
Mrs. Schuyler, of New York, Expects
to be Next President of the Or
ganizati0n.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 16.-Frieuds
of Mrs. Livingston Rowe Schuyler, OF
New York, are confident she will be

lsr,s. in evidence on every hand,
and 1T was freefy --i-,itted among the
delegates that she would De..Aa winner
next time.
Accepting defeat most graciously,
Mrs. Schuyler was the first to coDgrat-
ulate her opponent when the final bal
lot was announced, and as result won
hearty applause.
During the taking of the second bal
lot Mrs. Schuyler displayed tact and
diplomacy in insisting that Virginia be
allowed to cast its solid vote for her
opponent when Mrs. James Henry
Parker, of New York. Mrs. James
Henry Parker OF New York, arose and
called on the Virginia division president
to cast one vote for Mrs. Schuyler,
which she knew was pledged to the
New York candidate, although it was
announced that the entire delegation
from Virginia was unanimous for Mrs.
White.
Springing to her feet, Mrs. Schuyler
promptly declared that she preferred to
have Virginia united in balloting, just
Us it was the motto OF the Daughters to
be united in their work and plans.

Virginia Doctor Marries Nurse.

Rome, New York, Nov. 16.-Dr.
William B. Kirk, aged 70, wealthy
retired practitioner, of Roanoke, Va,
led Miss Martha E. Jones, aged 81, a
nurse, to the altar as his bride in this
city yesterday afternoon. There is a
bit OF romance behind the marriage.
The doctor brought his first wife to "a
cancer hospital here about two years
ago to be treated and Miss Jones was
the nurse who cared for her. 1t proved
to be an incurable case and Mrs. Kirk
died. The attraction which the doctor
found in the nurse ripened into love
and the aged physicians persistent
wooing eliminated in the nuptial cere-
mony today.

Experiments With Wheat At State Farm

Last week the threshing of the
wheat under test at the 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. Six varieties made
above IS bushels, while two yield
ed more than 40 bushels per acre.
The results of the experimental
work with wheat now cover four
years, and indicate in a general
way some facts of practical i'm
portance to the wheat grower.
For instance, bearded varieties
have proved somewhat more pro-
ductive than the smooth varieties,
although there are few excep-
tons. Out Of some seventy varie-
ties tested during the past four
years, most q, 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 (Uctilogo tritise). Also the
soft or white wheats have, as a
class, yielded less than the red
wheats. OF the twenty-five varie-
ties which produced more than &C
bushels per acre this season, 29
were of the bearded type and "a
were varieties with red grain.
The results of the experiments
Newark post., 1911-07-26

with fertilizer indicate conclusive
ly that phosphoric acid is the ele-
nent Of plant food most needed in
our local soils. Acid phosphate
ia per cent? three parts and muir
late OF potash one part, applied at
the rate of 800 pounds per acre,
has given as good results on ordi-
nary soil as where nitrogen has
been used. A crop of cowpeas
ploWed under and the above mix
ture applied gave as large a yield
as where 600 lbs. of commercial
fertilizer was used.
The Station has tested, by in
dividual seed paintings, all of the
varieties above mentioned to de-
termine the habit of stooling or
tislering. In general heavy tiller-
ing has been correlated with high
yield.
The falling varieties of wheat
nave been carefully tested and are
recommended by the station for
Delaware; Gypsy, Red Wonder
Deity, Rudy, Lehigh, Farmer
Friend and Leaps Prolific. The
latter is especially adapted to the
lighter soils o central and south.
ern parts of the State.
Information as to where these
varieties may be secured can be
secured from the Department O
Agronomy, Delaware Experiment
Station. The Station does no
offer seed wheat for sale.
