FISHLAYS STRESS
ON GOODM MATERIAL,
Strength, Speed, and Weight Are Almost indispensable
to Success of Football Team-Woefu Lack
of 2OO.Pound Lines.
By HAMILTON FISH, JR,
Former Harvard Captain and All-America Tackle.

There Is no denying the fact that
good material counts for q great deal.
and this year Il will be Of additional
importance because heavy linemen will
be needed in the rushing game.
Good material signifies candidates. for
the eleven who have the weight.
strength and speed requisite to make
varsity players. to say nothing OF hav-
ing plenty Of sand and an active mind.
1t matters not how clever the coach
ing or how bright the candidate. he II
not apt to make q great varsity player
without weight. strength and speed. II
you look at Walter Camps All-America
teams for the past decade you will no.
dce very few light men.
In the last few years. owing to the
changes In the rules whereby 1t was
practically impossible to score by the
rushing game, a light, quick player

For the last two years there has been

Both Bomeisler and Ketcham are
good players. but there were quite .

lea team. not because they were not

figured that Bud Smith, of Harvard.

should have been selected in place Of
Bomeisler. and that Blutenthal.. Of

preference over Ketcham for the
above reason.

Harvard Team Shows
Effects of SCrimmage

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 3.-The
varsity team at Harvard showed the
effects of Tuesdays driving scrimmage
yesterday. when In an hours hard play
1t could score only two touchdowns
against the scrubs. The first touchdown
was made in the first few minutes OF
play on two long runs by Hardwick,
but the other did not come until the
very last play of the scrimmage. when
the regulars, most OF them substitutes,
pushed down the field against the sec
ond and third string members of the

SALT KILLS SHEEP

From an interview with Mr.. Clayton
Thomas an intelligent farmer and breeder
of pure blooded sheep dogs, Scotch Col
lies, the editor of The TRANSCRIPT has
learned some facts about the peril of Civ
ing salt to sheep that may prove valuable
to its readers.
1t seems that last Sunday April 28th
Mr.. Thomas who lives on the farm of R.
W. Thomas near CentrevilIe, Md and had
fine flock of some Is sheep, wishing to
have bis two fine blooded highly trained
collies photographed while htrding his
sheep, had them brought up last Sunday
afternoon from the pasture field. And
while they we're up from the field, notic-
ing that they stopped to lick some phos=
phate under shed. put about a quarter
of peck of coarse salt in tin vessel for
them to eat. About 10 O'Clock that night
a neighbor reported that be had noticed
one of his sheep dead in the lane. Mr..
Thomas at once made an examination
and found two of the sheep dead, two
dying audthe fifth quite sick-a white
fluid rnnning from tLeir mouth and nos
trils.
After giving them an emetic of mustard
and water with ne good results, he found
few ounces of castor oil which be gave
with hot water, in bottle to the one
seemingly the least affected. The other
two also died but No. 5 be thinks will re-
cover. Mr.. Thobas believes that these
i've 5II6ep HJ6 more JIIan their share OF
the salt and we're poisoned thereby. A
neighbor of his Mr.. Henry Covington,
had a similar experience with his sheep a
number of years ago.
Mr.. Thomas eheerfuliy contributed to
The TRANSCRIPT these accounts of his
and his neighbors unlucky experiences
in giving salt to sheep with the hope
that other farmers may profit thereby
AMI use caution in giving loose salt to
sheep. Mr.. Thomas says he now gives
bis flock none at all.

A BIC FRUIT CROP
Late FrOsts the Only Thing That is
Feared

That Delaware is going to have ban
ner fruit crop this year is now the out
look. Growers say that an old.time peach
crop is looked for, if the late frosts do not
get in their damaging work.
The present is a critical period for the
peach trees, which are now in full bloom
for the chilly, damp weather is conduc-
i've to fungus, and again they are made
more susceptible to frosts.
The growers are hoping, however, that
the weather will become warm as soon as.
the present rainy season is over. The
trees are loaded with buds, and every
thing points to large crop.
The same is to be said of small! fruits of
all kinds. The outlook is bright for straw
berries, and more will be shipped from
this State this summer than ever before.
The acreage is great, and for the past
three or four years one town has been
shipping more Strawberries than any
other point in the country.
Cantaloupe growing is a new industry
in Delaware, and so profitable has it
become that truckers this ear are grow
ing them on larger scale than ever
before.
All over Susstx county hundreds of
acres of strawberries were set out last
year, and with the old patches already in
bearing, it is thought there will be more
berries grown tia labor can be secured to
pick them. Already growers are hunt.
ing pickers and are offering fancy prices
to have their crops marketed. Sussex
county is the banner strawberry centre
of the world, and it is attracting settlers
from all over the country.
Not only do our farmers grow straw
berries, wheat, corn, and hundreds of
other things are grown on Delaware soil.
Is it any wonder Delaware is drawing the
attention of the northern farmer, who is
anxious to settle in land of plenty? This
is the garden spot of the world, and our
doors are open to those who are seeking
place where they can live and enjoy
everything that the coil can produce.

SAVING OUR PEACH CROP

The recent cold winter Severely injured
the peach crop in many sections of the
country aud in some of the noted peach
regions the crop will be almost total
failure. 10 view of the probable shortage
of the crop the Delaware peach growers
should put forth eve-y eff rt to protect
their peaches from the ravages of curculio
and brown rot. The writer would urge
all peach growers who have prospects Of
crop, to give their peaches the following
treatment.
l. Spray all peaches with pounds Of
arsenate of lead and pounds of freshly
Stacked lime. This spray should be ap-
spied about weeks after the trees bloom
jissst sss hefeEe slip eff eff tthtee HE
young peaches. This treatment is largely
to controlthe curculio Ihus aiding in less
ening the "June drop" The cureulio
stings are also largely responsible for the
entrance of the rot tinto the peach Tissues.
g. About one month after the first ap-
plieation spray the peaches again with
self boiled lime sulphur Is lbs sulphur, s
lbs. lime and 80 gallons OF water) adding
II lbs. of arsenate of lead to every so gal
Tons OF water adding 3 pounds of arsen-
ate of lead to every so gallons of the mix
ture.
3. Spray with the self boiled lime sui
phur about one month before the peaches
ripen. This will be about July 5th to 10th
for Champion and about July Is to 25th
for Elberta. The arsenate OF lead need
not be used at this spraying.
CAUTION-Peach foliage is very sensi-
tive to spray materials and care should
be taken to apply all sprays in the form
of mist, avoiding drenching the trees.
Arsenate of lead should always have q
freshly slaked stone lime added to it when
spraying peaches. The writer would sug.
gest the using of Tri Plumbic arsenats of
lead as being perhaps a little more safe |
than the ordinary commercial arsenate of
lead.
Preparation Of self boiled lime sulphur
Weigh out 8 lbs. of stone lime and |
place In barrel and pour on enough cold
water to partially cover it. As soon as the
lime begins to slake add lbs of sulphur. |
All Jumps in the sulphur should be
broken up. Stir the mixture constantly |
and add more water, needed, to form
thick paste, then, gradually thin paste.
As soon as the line is well saked add
water to cool the mixture aud prevent
further cooking. Do not allow the lime
and sulphur TO cook over 10 to 20 minu-
tes. Dilute to about 20 gallons aud strain
intoi the spray tank, again dilute to 30
gallons and apply.
When arsenate of lead is used with the |
self boiled lime sulphur, it may be added
after the lime sulphur is strained into the
spray tank.
All Delaware peach growers are warned
against using diluted commercial lime
sulphur as a spray for peaches. While in
some instances this material has proven
it is uncertain in its action
and isliable to defoliate the trees.
