EMBERS OF GRANGE
DISCUSS LEADING TOPICS


terest during the winter just passed.
10 weeks ago lively debate was held
70 the merits or dement's of the
UbiDninp Post" as a means Of punish
,ent in the criminal laws of Delaware.
Tbe discussion was decidedly lively, and
is regretted that there is not full
eport made of the various arguments.
II was the majority opinion that Dela-
pare can not afford to abolish the whip
ngof criminals who have been convicted
"a larceny. without detriment to the gen
ral safety Last week the discussion
"a upon Growing Peas and Cabbage.
The attendance was unusually large
because of the subjects to be discussed,
snd which were of interest to all
Mr.. Skewis gave his experience in
growing peas for the cannery, and from
is remarks it was shown that no harm
results from placing the fertilizer di-
fectly in the row IN contact with the
iced meas. 1t was also shown that pro-
ftable crops had been grown by cross
5rilling the seed, though this is not
practical unless there is a clean seed
ked. The experience of several mem
hers showed that although a satisfactory
erop was not always obtained the first
vear. that the crop on the same ground
almost invariably proved profitable the
the second and even the third year.
Cabbage Growing" was the subject
Of Mr.. Lemex, and his statement indi-
Gated that he is a careful and Observant
grower. and an equally good packer of
fbis vegetable He told how to cultivate
cabbage each week up to the cutting
period. how to fertilize it and how to pack
fhe crop for shipment in the field. he
also told how to force the heads to be-
come sufficiently hard to warrent cut
ting early this is quite secret and very
valuable to the grower of cabbage. 1t
seems that it is necessary for the price
to get up to about two dollars per crate,
and then, every cabbage head in the
field will feel perfectly solid and ready
for market. The writer wishes to eX
Dress thanks for this valuable secret, |
and there were many others who heard
Mr.. Lemex who can testify to its truth |
fulness.
Mr.. S. P. Griffith rendered a vocal
solo which was VociferOusly encOTed, /
but the refreshments finally stopped the /
demand of his friends for another song |
The ladies' had provided so much that
was good, that the demand of appetite |
got the better of the sense of pleasure |
from music.
The meeting on Saturday, March 21st, /
is to be an exceptionally interesting one, |
as the following program will indicate. /
Miss Barker, Mrs. Bunstein and Major .
Lank will entertain with a musical for
ten minutes.
Mr.. Cook and Lsvinus Austin will
Jointly discuss the Bathrick Bill now
before Congress.
What should our gardens contain
this season, and where shall we purchase
our seed % will be the subject Of a
paper by Mrs. Houston.
