TOPLFSS WHITE POTATOES.

A Kansas newspaper remarks upon
the discovery of a white potato when
GROWS without vines, and dissertates

would be a wonder, ifit were new thing,
but it is not. For several years and IN
various sections of this country, expert.
ments have been made with the view OF
reducing to a minimum, or eliminating
entirely, the tops or vines of white po-
tatoes. Here in Delaware the expert
ment has been tried by several people
and near Pennington. Kent County, Is
F. Dolphin. who for the past three
years has experimented with the vlneless
white potatoes, and this season he re-

That he has potatoes which were planted
at Nav first, and about which there Is
now growing six or seven potatoes as
large As walnuts hulled. and without
SION of a vine growing over them

CAULK CLUB SOCIAL COLUMN.

Caulk defeated Ridgley Saturday by
the score of 50. Caulk percentage, 4.44.
We wish to compliment the Ridgley
Base Ball team, as it certainly was COM
posed of gentlemen ball players.
The Caulk Team will play Denton at
Denton on Saturday, and it is expected
that a large crowd Of rOoters will follow
the Caulk Team to Maryland.
We regret that the fans had to wait
so long for the game to commence on
Saturday The delay was caused by an
accident to the RidgleY Team while en-
route to Milford.
That was a lucky home run John Davis
made with two men on bases. 1t is too
bad the other hit did not land in safe
territory. as he would have had two home
runs to his credit
D. Geoghegan, a Delaware College
star, made his appearance with the
Caulk Team against Ridgley last Satur-
day. and began the season with US by
striking out II of the opposing batsmen
and allowing but one hit in nine innings.
Pretty good for one afternoon 5 perfOr-
nance.
