WASHINGTON.

a nation is not merely an aggregation
Of individuals, but a body of laws and
institutions, welded into one organic, liv-
ing entity. Writing and reading of his
tory are beneficial only in so far as his
tory establishes a school of morals.
The past is vast field. The bad man
as well as the good man finds in the fu
ture limitless haven for his imagina-
ton, and hopes for fame and favor at
the hands of generations to succeed him.
The historian, looking back at years far
fled, seeking to perceive clearly through
obscurity the right relation of acts of in
dividuals, of parties or of nations, is
sometimes inclined to doubt the sound
ness Of his own judgement in a future
that harks back to a past so distant.

THE LITTLE DIA-
MOND STATE
As An Outsider Sees Us

Here i the manner in which the
Dellueator for September speaks Of
Delaware:
\ little district yet the heart
Of the nation. whose entertainments
. are heraided at home and abroad
\ little State. the smallest in the
Union, yet renowned for It's fine
cooking, particularly those dishes
where her own superb waters and
orchards are levied on for their
supplies. "
All of which goes to prove that
Delaware is being recognized
abroad. What Delaware needs
more than anything else at this
time. however, is to realize it her
self. A farmer at Bridgeville the
other day picked $1,000 of canta-
loupes off eight acres of land at one
picking. The melons We're sold at
Bridgeville station and the produc-
er had the money or its equivalent
when he returned TO his home.
1t has been known for several
years that fortunes were being
made in the Bridgeville district on
Strawberries. 1t was known that
in the Bridgeville and Selbyville
districts were raised the best straw
berries in the world. A Worcester
County, Nd, farmer a few days
ago told the writer that he believ-
ed the Selbyville-Bridgeville dis
tricts raised the best strawberries
i'll the world, but. he continued Il
don t believe it will raise anything
else. " Now here is the cantaloupe
story and they say the Bridgeville-
Selbyville district raises the best
cantaloupes in the world.
The demand for the cantaloupe
is unlimited. The area on which
they can be raised with the pecul-
lar delicious favor is limited. Great
fortunes should be made on this
favored soil. The lesson this day S
picking teaches, however, is not
confined to cantaloupes. What it
says most emphatically is "spec-
ialize."
. The Delmarvia Peninsula will
produce anything which will grow
in the temperate zone. What is
raised here whether it be apples or
peaches or sweet potatoes or canta-
loupes have an Incompatible fav-
or. The best markets in the world
are persistently beckoning. The
bounties are sure and the rush to
these fertile fields is about to be
gin. The first necessity is good

Cloth Better Than Glass

Cbeesecloth covering for plants, a
farmer tells us in an agricultural paper
are superior to glass, for they let the
moisture through. The white shelter has
a forcing effect, and also keeps out IN
sects. Cucumbers from vines thus shell
tered were gathered two weeks earlier
than usual during the season, and the en-
thusiastic exeprimenter is planning for
large results next year through the use
of these cheesecloth protectors.-EX.
After next July standard barrel OF
apples must be twenty-six inches between
the heads. sixty-four inches in circumfer-
ence. outside measurement round the mid
die, and the heads must be seventeen and
one.eighth inches in diameter. In ac-
cor1ance with a recent act of Congress,
such a barrel, if the apples in it are hand
picked and free from blemishes, may be
labelled ''Standard. " But fine Of one
dollar and costs will be exacted for every
barrel that is marked standard and
does not conform to the requirements.
The law was passed at the urgent solici-
tation of those who believe that a pur-
chaser has right to know what he is
getting when he buys barrel Of apples.

ing soil production.
Can We do it," asks 3Ir. Lever
and in so doing voices a question
which should become the immediat,
and personal concern of every per
son interested in the future wei
fare and stability Of the nation.
He points to Europe, where the
land was not so good as ours to De
gin with and where it has been un,
der cultivation a thousand years
compared to our average of les:
than a hundred years-for the
richest section Of our soil was not
even scratched until seventy five
years ago. and much Of our hest
land has been put under cultiva,
ton within the last thirty years.
Yet in Europe, where nature
has handicapped and where den
sity of population makes giant de-
mands upon nature, the average
crop production, per acre, is from
two and a half to three and half
times as large as in the United
States:
Take. for instance, the farm food
staple that has led the advance in
the cost Of living during the last
ten years-potatoes, which have adj
vanced more than 100 per cnt with
in that period.
Our average yield is so bushels
an acre, and we do not raise enough
for our own use. Importations are
increasing rapidly. We have to
call upon Europe, with less and
poorer soil, to make up the defc-
iency, for there Germany and Bel
gium produce an average Of 226
bushels an acre; France 100. and
Russia. 135.
All Of which bears out p F.
Harris recent statement, that
though we have better land and as
good or better tools and brains,
we are not properly employing
any Of these factors. We raise the
wheat crop Of this country on 80,
100000 acres, with an average Of
1871 bushels to the acre. while our
own best farms and those il sever
Il countries Of Europe, who use
-housand-year-old farmlands, aver
'god 26 to 40 bushels an acre.
Congressman Lever says we can
joubIc the average production of
al crops in this country within ten
years. if we work along the lines
If the best and most approved ag-
and substantiates this
)y showing that in South Carolina
demonstration methods have in
,reased cotton production from
jS4 to 1915 pounds an acre
We have got to work along these
ines or seek a large part Of our
.ood and clothing supply else

oodstuffs are declining. In the de-
ade from 1900 to 1910 they teli

DAYLIGHT
Bold Man Rides Away in
Shadow Of Court
House

That horse could be stolen from
the very shadow Of the court house at
high noon and that the thief could ap-
parently make good his escape, looks
improbable, yet Sunday at, Or about
noon, an unknown thief mounted a
horse belonging to L. A. Sanders and
quietly rode away unchallenged
Tie horse was tied in the alley mid
way between the court house door and
the county jail. Mr.. Sanders was in
the court house and the usual number
Of people had been passing to and fro
all morning. Charley Dayton had
driven through the alley to the jail
door and in passing had to make the
horse move out Of mis- way. A few
moments later, as ne came out Of the
jaiier's quarter and climbed into his
buggy. he noticed a stranger riding by
on Mr. Sanders horse The stranger
displayed no sense Of alarm or fear but
rode quietly west in the alley until he
came to Fourth street In fact, SO
quietly did he ride that Mr.. Dayton
driving behind him in his buggy had
to slow up to allow the unknown rider
out Of the alley Arrived at Fourth
street. the man looked south, hesitat-
ed a moment and turning the horse
north, rode leisurely away, unn0tieed,
while Mr. Dayton who was at the time
within ten feet Of the horse thief and
his stolen property, proceeded home,
thinking that xf Sanders had loane1
his horse TO a friend for a short er.

Came Mr. Sanders out OF the court
house to mount his horse and proceed
to a Sunday dinner. Prestoi The
horse was gone. Thinking that the
colt had simply gotten loose. he went
