Prof. Harry Hayward, director
of the Delaware College Expert
ment Station, who with Mrs. Hay
ward. recently returned from a
tour through Scotland, gives some
interesting observations that he
made relative to the farming III
that country. In talking of his
trip and his observations In Scot
land Professor Hayward said:
"a traveller from Delaware can
not fail to notice how bare the mar
kets are in Scotland of attractive
fruit. OF course there are num-
Der of fruit stores but the stocks
consists almost entirely Of few
bad oranges, lemons, plums, Span
ish melons and very poor apples.
In some Of the better shops hot
house grapes are kept which sell
for an average Of about so cents a
pound and occasionally hot house
cantaloupes are for sale. Small
ones bring so cents each. The
cause Of this is seen in the low av-
erage temperature which prevails
in the north Of England and Scot
land, making it unsuitable for
growing good fruit in any quantl-
ties.
"In going into the country one
is Immediately impressed with the
fine pastures and large yields OF
high class hay. 1t is well known
that grass Of all kinds does best III
cool moist climate and in conse-
quence there are few places In
America where grass thrives so well
and with so little attention on the
part of the farmer as in Scotland.
One can readily see why it is that
the British Isles are called the
Stud Farm of the world, as it is
impossible to produce such high
class live stock under such natural
conditions anywhere else in the
world. Not only is the grass album
dant but goodly part of it is un-

development Of bone and muscle
that is impossible to get under less
favorable conditions.
GAS might be expected one not
ices that the Scotch farmer usually
keeps nothing but pure bred live
stock and has a ready sale for his
surplus animals at prices that
would astonish the American farm
er For example, from $500 to
81 900 is not an uncommon price
for good pure bred Ayrshire COWS,
the buyers being largely the ten
ant farmers. A tenant farmer
made the statement to me that ne
had paid 5000 for a ram lamb and
another tenant farmer paid
$47, 500 at public sale two @ years
ago for a Clydesdale Stallion. NO
one appreciates the value OF good
breeding and the economy OF hlgn
class efficient animals as the canny

Aged Athletes At
tempt Old Acts.

New York, July 1S-Men, who made
records when American sport was In
its sWaddling clothes are making a
three-days celebration of the 25th an
niversary of the opening of TraVers
Island, the famous summer home. of
the New York Athletic Club. The first
gathering of oldtime athletes there,
Yesterday, had something of the scenes
and sentiment which marked the re-
cent reunion of the Blue and Gray at
Gettysburg. Most of the old men made
some sort of pretence of going through
the things they did when they were 20
years younger and as in the case of
some, 200 pounds or so lighter.
The oldest living athlete. Ed Carter,
was wheeled on to the track in a roll
ing chair, with a trained nurse pro-
testing against his participating in the
games. Pop as he is affectionately
known, held for % years the American
record for the 5-mile run and he in
sisted On being able to negotiate the
e52-foot lap track just once. He start
nimbly with an excellent stride, but
he was painting from exhaustion when
he returned to his wheel chair.
/ Harry Buermeyer, the founder and
! first champion of the shot put, hale
and hearty at the age of "A. was also
on han. He would not get into athletic
toys but he condescended to take off
his hat and try few shot puts with
Bernie Wefers, an old rival. They tied
at "a respectable distance"
Q. L. Richards. formerly one of the
hnrdling champions, fond.y caressed
one of the timber gates, but he could
not be induced to try flight. THAT
sort of thing is not for IS years of age,
he said. Dan Stern, the champion
walker of 1876. was content to attempt
short exhibition of the heel and toe
along one side of the track.
VIC. Downs. the phenomenal quar-
ter-nliler of two decades ago; Hugh
Baxter, once the greatest of American
pole vaulters; Jim Mitchell, the old
champion with the hammer and
weights. and others were present. All
Of the veterans were present at BAN
quet. last evening, with commemora-
tive medals of silver.
The celebration will conclude, to-
morrow, with baseball game.

driven from the country"
Mr.. Daniels remarks occupied only a
minute and those who observed him
closely say that he had no intention OF
making them apply locally However,
word was passed about the street, today,
that the secretary had made a long adj
dress devoted to the two flags and mad
urged that all believers in the red flag
be driven out of the country. 1t was
also declared that he had made a direct
attack on Mayor Cortrell, wno sat direct
ly behind him. The fact was that the
mayor accompanied the secretary from
the banquet to the Press Club reception
and had been with the secretary during
much of his stay.
1t is believed Mr.. Daniels had no
knowledge of any Seattle controversy
over the red flag.
