DELAWARE STATE FAIR.

Inc Delaware State Fair has provided
tne biggest free program ever nresante5
10 tne people of the State for the Fair
next September which will be held at
aWaset Park, Wilmington, Septenbe
Stn' IOth, llth and 18th AMONG tbe
attractions will be Harry Henry NE
man with the big baritone voice. = Heis
one OF the best open air singers before
the pupllc. he has the reputation of
Deing able to make himself heard and
70 artlculate distinctly. He announces
the events as they come each dav and
Will III, sing anything requested of him.
1hen too there will be Ce'Dora in
ner death defying performance in the
GloDe OF Death. this is a perfect
sphere 10 feet in diameter and con-
strueted OF latticed steel wire. so made as
TO give an unobstructed view of the per-
Iormance through the three inch mesh.
There are three performers in the act.
one women and two men. and two of
them, one women and a man. first give
startling exhibition on ordinary bicycle
chasing each other around the Globe at
a terrific rate of speed. To ride slowly
would mean to fall. After several
minutes of marvellous work bv these
two cyclists, they come out of the Globe
ana Ce Dora, the intrepid, enters the
trap door with Motorcycle To ride
the ordinary bicycle in the Globe is one
thlnng, but to be able'to control Motor
cycle, machine much heavier and much
more difficult to handle, in a confined
space IS quiet another proposition To
give an idea of what feat it is. we
want to state that Ce'Dora is the only
women IN the World that accomplishes
TINS feat. Perhaps there are a few
women who ride a Motorcycle on the
ROAD, and there are few men who ride
It IN the Globe of Death. but no other
women has had the temeritv to attempt
. nde the Motorcycle in the Globe of
Oeatn. AS soon as she is inside the
the Glode, she mounts the machine
and begins to wind the spiral around
the limited confines of the sphere.
Ce' Dora rides more and more parallel
% the Globes Equator as the speed Of
ne motor increases. Finally, at full
ipeed, which is nearly so miles an hour
je'Dora. like the downward rush Of
IN eagle after its prey, dives to the
)ottom OF the Globe to dart up the other
lde and pass over Tor rather under) the
xact top of the center of the sphere.
again and again does Ce'Dora repeat
his seemingly impossible feat, dashing
p and down inside the Globe, overcom-
ng by her great speed the laws OF
No doubt sensations will
ONE and go, but there is only one
1omen doing this sensation of sensations
nd that women is Ce'Dora.

Decoration Day, 1918, is an episode Of
the past and will be remembered, only,
as a passing holiday amongst the many
that have preceded it. The usual rou-
tine was carried out on Friday as in the
past The soldiers graves were decora-
ted with flags and flowers; and the vari-
Gus orders and affectiOnate friends and
relatives strewed the graves of their
loved ones whit roses and the perfume
of the dav The Milton band, which
has apparently been defunct for some
time, suddenly sprang into existence
on this morning; the little girls and
larger ones too were frisking about the
streets and in the cemetery which at the
late hour was redolent with the perfume
of roses. At 10 o clock the band played
a tune in front of John Megee's barber
shop, and afterward proceeded to School
Hall, where Captain George Mcgee, as
master of ceremonies, and the occasion
IN general, introduced the Rev. Ralph
T. Coursev, a former minister of Milton
and now of Hillsboro, Md, who address
sed the large audience congregated, in
his usual happy style. Speeches were
made by others, but Mr. Coursey was
justly the orator Of the day, as his unex-
pected arrival had been heralded several
days preceding. Bunting was displayed
all of the day by many Of the churches
until evening Another feature of the !
day was the eaters of cone ice cream. :
Sam Wilson was seen coming down the :
street with a cone in each hand, from
which he would alternately take a sip,
OF a bite, whichever word suits best, and 1
on wagon coming on the same street
were two other men doing likewise It
was an inspiring scene, as the reader has
already surmised. Joseph NJ. Lank made
an inspiring address at the hall, particu-
larly addressed the veterans. He told
them many Of their comrades were gone,
others were going, but the few that yet
remained were seeing brilliant times,
but it is the brilliancy Of the setting sun,
and their Sweetest Song is the last
they are singing.
base ball game was played in the after
noon between Lewes and Milton on the
Milton ground on Milton Terrace, re-
sulting in victory for Milton-score 9

At 3 O'Clock a social was commenced
~ the Ladies Guild Of the P. +. Church :
N the lawn around the church on Fed J

nto the night. Success attended the
estivities. In the evening the Rev. r.

simply fine, and we may add complete
surprise. 1t contained an earnest plea |

closed with expectations of delightful
reunion next year.

falling off what little sidewalk there is,

agriculture and therefore has been
quite extensive in the region of best
agricultural development. Nebraska
and Kansas lead in the acreage Of
plantations. About $4,000 acres have
been planted within the central region.
Shelterbelts are increasing in the
newer farming districts Of the Dako-
tas and Oklahoma, and much interest
Is being shown in forest planting
throughout the central section of the
United States.
In the western region and the Pa
cific coast States much Of the forest
land Is within National Forests, and
forest planting on these lands is chiefly
a federal problem. But there are
abundant opportunities for private
planting in the valleys of southern
California and on irrigated lands
throughout the region.
1t is absolutely essential that the
people of each State and particularly
farm owners, should realize the i'm
mense Importance of individual effort
in providing for future timber sup
ply. The quantity Of land that can be
restored to value through forest plant
ing by the Federal Government or by
the States is in the aggregate small
and comparatively insignificant as
compared to the great area that must
be forested eventually by private land
owners, among whom the farmer
stands first and foremost. t<..

Forestry is but one of the FORMS Of
crop production included UNDER agri-
culture The woodlot is an integral
part of the farm and an essential fac
tor In it's success. Forest planting Is
that part Of forestry which seeks to
restock and perpetuate desirable tim
Der and to establish new forests on
treeless areas. where they are needed
for protective or other purposes. For
est planting should not be confused
with tree planting or arborcnlture. for
these terms cover only the planting
and care of trees chiefly for orna-
mental purposes, while forest planting
indicates the planting of trees IN
stands of considerable size, in which
forest conditions are sought.
In the farming districts OF the East,
where almost every farmer has pre-
served a small bit Of the original for
est, which he calls his Woodlot, there
Is very general lack Of appreciation Of
the necessity for utilizing these wood
lots to the best advantage, and of the
methods by which-this may be accom-
plished. Much may be done by man
agement, which consists largely in
careful cutting that will keep the for
est cover intact, and in removing dead
and dying and inferior trees. Planting,
however. Is very generally needed In
order to hasten the restocking Of
woodlots with valuable species. One

species which have been planted are
white pine, Scotch pine, Norway pine
European larch, and, to some extent
the more rapid growing hardwoods
such as locust, catalpa, black walnut
cottonwood, ash and elm. AS in the
East, woodlots are deteriorating and
require interplanting. Excellent trees
for this purpose are the white pine
the Scotch and Austrian pines, and the
Norway spruce. ..
Except for the early planting In
New England, the farmers Of Ohio
and Indiana have been the first to
recognize the value and importance
Of forest planting. In these two States
and generally throughout the central
valley district, the practice has been to
plant rapid-growing kinds. For ex-
ample, In West Virginia and south
western Pennsylvania, walnut, locust
sugar maple, red oak, chestnut, and
catalpa, have been planted for posts
mine props, and timber; in Ohio, black
locust and catalpa for posts; in Indi-
ana, black locust, catalpa, and wal
nut; in Kentucky, black locust, ca
talpa, tulip, poplar, maple, and wal
nut principally for mining timbers and
posts; in Tennessee, locust, maple, and
cedar; in Missouri, catalpa, locust
walnut, Usage orange. cottonwood; in
Arkansas, locust and walnut.
In the central section forest plant
ing has been a part Of the progress In
