CARMAN JURY
FAILS TO AGREE
Stood 10 TO z For AGqliII5.
and Are Discharged.
SECOND TRIAL UNCERTA \
The Defendant Is Released on s25,ooc
Bail and Returns to Her Home lr
Freeport


Because two OF its number insiste,
that Mrs. Florence c. Carman ha.
murdered Mrs. Louise h. Bailey ia
Freeport last July, while ten other.
declared she was guiltless of thai
crime, the jury in the murder tria
at MineOla, L. l., after having beet
out fourteen hours, was discharged by
Justice Kelby.
Five ballots were taken. the FIR
being nine to three for acquittal. AT
ter that out two remained steadfast in
their belief that Mrs. Carman wa
guilty.
Mrs. Carman was carried back a.
the county jail completely crushed
On Monday she was released on So.
900 bail and Immediately returned t.
her home.
It was a terrible ordeal that Mrs
Carman underwent. She plainly show
ed the suffering she had experienced
when she came into court after the
jury had sent word that 1t wished t.
consult with Justice Kelby. For hours
she had been in a nervous collaps
and was only kept up through drink.
ing strong black coffee.
That the failure to acquit Mrs. Car
man was unpopular was shown by tn
cool reception given to the two juror
who had voted for her conviction
They were William G. Hovey, OF
Woodmere. and James H. Aston. OF
Port Washington.
They hurried from the court room
and deputy sheriffs surrounded them
to prevent any hostile demonstration
toward them. But the other ten iur
ors we're given a rousing demonstra /
tion by the hundreds who congregated +
outside the court room.
The crowd insisted upon maxim
heroes OF them, and when the fore
man, Robert F. Ludlum, OF Oyster
Bay, appeared, he made a speech and
said that he and the other nine me
had tried to do their duty. He was
cheered, and the throng insisted upon
him to the railroad stati n
him on the way.

GREENWOOD.

The building boom still continues in
this thriving little town. If the present
boom continues, Greenwood will not be
recognizable as such in another year.
Clarence Webb, one of our young men,
went to Wilmington recently where he
was employed in a garage. While aid
ing a machnist at work on an autOmO-
bile, the car started and ran into both of
them. Webb's arm was dislOcated and
the machinist was badly cut Webb IS
now home at the present time.
A number of Greenwood people at
tended the races at Bridgeville last week.
The Athletic Caulk Club game Of base
ball was an attraction which drew a
number Of automobile loads of people
from Greenwood last Friday. The fans
were enable to see a number Of baseball
stars in action.
, Mrs. H. B.bHorney and children are
visiting relatives in Mary land.
Mrs. Kate Cox is visiting her daugh-
ter, Cleota Jones, in Smyrna.
Charles lsaacs has bought farm near
Huron's Mill, near SeafOrd, and will
move there the first of the year. he
has sold the farm on which he now re-
sides to a man from the north, who will
occupy it as soon as it is vacated by
Mr.. .lsaacs.
Oysters are plentiful in the Greenwood
market. They are selling at 25 cents
per basket.
The sweet potato crop. which this
season is not the finest, is about har-
vested and stored in the storage houses
Mrs. Helen Bradley, of Wilmington
visited her parents here last Sunday.
The land Of Mrs. Mollie Wiley has
been purchased by c. w. Parker. One
building lot on the tract has been sod
to T. W. Rust who will erect a store
property thereon in the near future.
Some of our town people are having
electric lights installed in their homes.
r. Z. Wiley has started laying bricks
on his new store building.

Farmers Study Potato Diseases

The Department Of Plant Path
ology of the Delaware Experiment
Station is carrying on extensive
studies of the several diseases of the
sweet potato common in seed bed
and field. Various preventives and
methods of control are being tried
out. Among these are N the
value Of selecting seed free from
surface and internal diseases, (2)
the value of surface disinfection of
seed with formaldehyde or corros-
i've sublimate (3) the value of sui
phur treatment as occasionally
practiced on seed and seed bed, (4)
the value of seed-bed treatment
with formaldehyde drench, (5)
the value Of change Of soil in seed
bed, (6) the value Of seed from
cuttings as compared with seconds.
The following diseases are in
cluded in these studies: vine wilt
or fusarium wilt, soil rot, black rot
or black shank, charcoal rot, but
may be found causing some loss in
the seed bed and occasionally in
field during off seasons, and when
too late in digging. Several Of
these diseases are somewhat new to
Delaware growers and only thru
care in seed selection, disinfection,
and change Of soil in seed beds,
may these troubles be held in check.
Another problem undertaken by
this department is a study of the
relation Of field and storage rots to
the use Of manure and commercial
fertilizers. 1t is common suspi-
cion among Delaware growers that
the use Of manure induces storage
rot. In Virginia manure is COM
monty used on sweet potatoes. This
is the second season for this prob
lem. Among the growers cooper
ating in these studies are: w. B.
Gordy, Laurel, seed bed and three
acres in field; Mrs. Esther Ellis,
Delmar, seed beds and 1-2 acre in
field; w. II. Lane, Harrington, seed
beds and two acres in field H. w.
Hastings, Laurel, seed beds and one
acre in field j. H. Mitchell, Laurel

Preparation For The Corn
Crop Spring Flowing

The Department Of Agronomy Of
the Delaware College Experiment
Station makes the following sugges-
tions in regard to spring plowing.
The successful growing Of corn de-
pends in no small measure upon the
preparation Of the soil. The kind
Of blowing really determines the
value of the seed bed. Land for
corn should be plowed as deeply as
the soil will permit. If sod Of
any kind is being plowed it is well
to plow deep enough to turn up a
thin layer Of the subsoil. This
deepens the seed bed which then
will hold more moisture. The
blowing Of an old sod shuold be
done as early as the ground will
permit. Crimson clover should not
be plowed under until considerable
growth is made. The best results
will be secured by plowing the
clover just before the blossoms ap-
pear. A growth Of crimson clover
or an old sod when turned under,
should be followed Immediately by
some implement that will compact
the surface. Then a harrow should
be used to form a soil mulch. Old
fallow ground, such as wheat or
corn stubble, should be plowed
fairly early but when the soil is not
too wet. Such ground should be
worked down with a harrow before
it becomes dry and cloddy. The i'm
portance Of early spring plowing is
to get the soil in a condition that it
will not lose by evaporation, the
moisture during the growing sea-
son. A great loss of moisture oc-
ours when the land is plowed and
left to lie unworked for time. A
harrow should follow each day s
plowing. This practice not only
seems to prevent the soil from los
ing moisture but saves labor as well.
One Of the best attachments for
plow in turning all kinds of
ground is a jointer, small share
attached to the beam Of the plow
proper. This device throws the
trash and a strip Of the sod into
the furrow just ahead Of the turn
ing soil. By this means, no rub
bish is left on the plowed land and
leaves no fringe Of sod where the
burrows overlap.
If some Of the land cannot be
plowed until late, it is well to disk
this portion as early as possible
with disk or cutaway harrow. A
mulch is formed and the moisture
retained so that the ground will
plow up easily later, even though
the weather may be dry.

New Railway Route Found.

Some excitement was caused by the
discovery of a feasible railway route
from Portage or Portage bay. on the
west side of Prince William sound, to
Turnagain Arm. Here route was
found which, by use of a tunnel about
two miles in length, will avoid the gla-
ciers and yield low grades for both in
and outbound traffic. The distance
from tidcwater on Prince William sound
to tide water on Turnagain Arm is
about twelve miles. and the proposed
line will Join the Alaska Northern rail
road at about mile sixty-three. Off
cial information regarding the availa-
billty of Portage bay as a terminal is
still lacking, but private adyices are
favorable. BY use of this route the dis
tance from tidewater to the Matanuska
coal field is reduced to about 136 miles,
with only one adverse grade and that a
low one. The information at hand indi-
Gates that this route is certainly worthy
Of careful consideration.
At best, the transportation is woefnl-
y inadequate, and unless it be extended
no great advancement in mining, except
along the coast, can be expected. There
fore railway construction is of first i'm
portance to Alaska, and second only to
this is the building Of q system of trib-
utary wagon roads.
