Agricultural Notes

For the purpose Of competing in
the intercollegiate Dairy Judg-
ing Contest at the National Dairy
Show, in Chicago, the latter part
of next month, student class is
being trained by the Division of
Animal Husbandry of the Della
ware College Experiment Station.
The students who are competing
for the team, are meeting daily at
the college farm and going over the
various breeds Of dairy cattle un-
der the direction of Professor Hay
ward and Inttructor Cooper.
R. G. H. Hill, who graduated in
the Agriculture class Of Delaware
College last June, and who is now
horticulturist at the National Farm
School, Doylestown, Pa, was a
Newark visitor several days ago.
MIR. Hill was recently offered pos
ition in Kansas, under the Dairy
Commission Of the State at sal
ary of 81 500 which he declined to
accept. He also declined offers
from the Maryland and North Car
olina Agriculture Experiment Sta
tions.
professor Harry Hayward left
Tuesday for Allentown where he
will be judge of the dairy cattle
and Berkshire hogs at the Allen.

Football Prospect at Delaware

Coach McAvoy will put the Del
aware College squad through an
other hard week Of training to get
them in shape for the first game of
the season next Saturday with Le-
high, which well be played on the
latter's gridiron. The first home
game will be with Lebanon Valley
on October II.
There is much disappointment
because Of the failure of Kyle, the
former Wilmington High School
star, reporting for practice. His
mother is said to; object to him
playing football. 1t is thought
that if Kyle should get in the game
it would round out fairly good
backfeld as Coach McAvoy is much
concerned over the backfeld now.
Hirshman. who was at Penn-State
last year is sure to make one of the
half backs. and Archie Dean looks
promising for the other. In case
Kyle should report he would like
ly be placed at full and Carswell
put on the line This would great
ly strengthen the line.
The scrimmage work which start
ed last Friday is putting the play
ers in condition faster than other
kind of practice. Coach McAvoy
gave the candidates a blackboard
talk on Monday night.
Coach William j. McAvoy of
Delaware College, attended a meet
ing of the Inter- Collegiate football
rules committee at the Manhattan
Hotel, New York, on Saturday
night. Coaches from many other
colleges were also present and they
We're consulted in the. matter OF
some of the rules Of the game.

cemetery and clear away some OBJ
structions with this end in view.
Having done this, they have caus-
ed to be laid out, on the West side
OF the property, very substantial
stone and cement wall, and on top
OF this, very pretty fence, of ar
tistic design, which adds beauty to
the whole surroundings. We hope
to see them advance further.
For the past two weeks. the out
side of our church building has
been in the care of Mr.. Bucking-
ham, the well known Knight of
the Brush, - and he is giving the
woodwork what it very much needs.
Deli takes no second place in
the exercise of his duties, and when
he shall have hidden our old edi-
flee adieu, we hope to see the
marks Of good workmanship.
Last, but by no means least, per-
nit me to say that, few days ago,
we had very pleasant surprise,
and | want to tell you what it was.
In one section of our congregation,
we have very loyal band Of whole
souled women who are organized
and known as the Milltown Sewing
Circle of White Clay Greek Church.
For some unknown reason this Soc
iety has among its members, sever
al Of the male persuasion, and they
meet together, from time to time,
in business and social way. Very
recently, those thoughtful people
'got their heads together and, as
result of that we are now the hap
py possessors Of a supply Of beau
tiful, silver-plated knives, forks,
and tea, dessert and table spoons,
numbering in all, about $50 pieces,
each one bearing the initials w. G.
c, G. This handsome gift is great
ly appreciated as it comes to us
from our friends in that quiet
town between the hills.
The church kitchen has been i'm
proved by the addition Of a new
range, and the laying Of an entire
new floor, both being the gift Of the
Improvement Society.

/ ing are in state OF evolution and
these crops are rapidly becoming
grown upon only those soils that
are adapted to them.
Not being interested in live stock,
l., as a matter of course, paid but
little attention to that phase of
farming. The majority of towns
of fifteen hundred population or
over, have creamery or cheese
factory. A number of condenser
es are also located within the State.
The dairy interests of the State are
steadily growing and more and
more registered dairy herds are to
be found each year.
Winter stock feeding has been a
fairly profitable industry in the
past. The custom being to buy up
Western steers or lambs off the Chi
cago Stock yards and fatten them
during the winter months. This
practice does not seem to be as COM
mon as formerly. .
Commercial fertilizers are, as
yet, but little used, wheat being
about the only crop grown with the
aid Of bought goods. Undoubted-
ly, however, a profitable use could
be made of commercial fertilizers
with great many crops.
AS compared with the Michigan
farmer, the Delaware farmer has,
| believe, the better opportunities.
He can raise more corn per acre
than his Michigan brother and in
fact he can equal his yield in any
of the staple crops. He can raise
many crops with profit that can
not be raised profitably in Michi-
gan. The Delaware farmer has a
practically unlimited market right
at his door and low freight to
pay in order to get his products to
market. In general, | believe that
the Michigan farmer is more opti-
mistic and more of booster for
his profession than thd average
Delaware farmer.

door and not at the end of the rain
