HARRINGTON.

rington, an experiment has been WORKED
out as to the merits of using dynamit,
to break the subsoil, and to note tn,
effect upon wheat crops grown on tn,
land where it has been so treated. TIL,
land so treated has yielded thirty foui
bushels per acre, and previous to tn,
treatment it had yielded only fifteer
| bushels to the acre. Mr.. Outten is 81
well satisfied that the breaking of the
subsoil by the dynamite is the cause
for his large yield. that he will have
more of his land treated in the same way.
The ground is there for measurement,
and the wheat is in the possession of the
owner, and the experiment is something
more than a theory to Mr.. Outten. The
above statement is taken from the let
ter of our regular correspondent from
that vicinity, who is reliable and will not
repeat statements other than those made
by reliable people.
Several boys who are members of the
Tommahawk Corn Club went to Newark.

The races at the Harrington track
have been greatly enjoyed, and it is un-
derstood that those in charge are ar
ranging for meeting of the fast horses
of the peninsula at the Harrington track
early In September. Horse racing will
always draw a crowd in Delaware.
1t is real loss to the Public Schools
of Harrington to have Prof. Wilbur
Jump leave the Principalship of the
schools here. 1t was hoped that he
could be induced to remain here, but
there seems to have been a failure to
realize just what the value of man of
his energy and ability to organize
school along practical lines is to Har-
ringtOn. He has rendered his resigna-
ton and will go to Preston. Md, next
year, where he will receive a much
higher salary. Men of the calibre of
Wilbur Jump are few in the educational
ranks of Delaware, and he is all the
more needed for that reason.
