Not All Lambs Rubes

Raymond McCune of New York,
son of a wealthy railroad and min
ing man was indicted by special
Federal Grand Jury in Whining
ton last Tuesday for misuse of the
mails in promoting the Peruvian
Placer Gold Mines Company,
Delaware corporation of which
David T. Marvel of Wilmington, is
president. 1t is said that McCune
came to Wilmington in 1912, show
ed gold nuggets which he said
were from placer finds in Peru
and sought aid from local capital
lists for a prospecting expedition
and S5l 900 was raised. McCune
went to Peru in 1913 and report
submitted by him was verified by
Peter Hoaglan and Robert Miller
of New York. The company was
formed in 1914 and McCune left
Peru to start operations. Glow
ings reports reached Wilmington
and vouchers for materials pur-
chased for the plant were present
ed. Last January cablegram
from an employee in Peru suggest
an investigation and F. B. Short,
an expert mining engineer left
San Francisco for Peru. Later it
was resolved to bring the matter
before the State Court but it was
deemed preferable to resort to the
Federal Court. Among the wit
nesses summoned before the
Grand Jury were Governor Miller

Weed Enemies On The Lawn

While weed nemies Of the lawn
are troublesome they are most par
ticularly so from the latter part of
June until frost. During this .
period crab-grass is by far the .
worst weed present, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture's lawn
specialists. There is no really sat
isfactory method of checking it's
growth and the only treatment to
be recommended is to cut or pull
the plants before they have form
ed large mats. This is very ted
ious and exepnsive practice, but
where a good lawn is involved the
results Justify the expense. Ra-
tional fertilizing and careful wat
ering during the summer help to
overcome the effect of weeds.
Chemical sprays or treatments
hav proven to be Of very littl as
sistance. Much difficulty is exper-
fenced in cutting crab-grass with
the ordinary mower on account of
it's semiprostrate character. This
difficulty can be overcome to a GER
tain extent if a rake is used in
conjunction with the mower. By
means of the rake the branches of
the grass may be lifted so that
they can be clipped reasonably
close. 1t is impossible however,
to cut crab grass sufficiently close
to prvent the formation of seed.
Thre are many other weeds that
are troublesome in the lawn, not
only in the spring, but also in the
summer and autumn. Among the
most important ones are dande-
lions, plantain, chickWeed, oxeye
daisy, and yarrow. While chem
ical sprays are more effective in
the eradication of thse weeds
than in the case Of crab-grass, the
best method of preventing their
development is to remove them
with a spud or similar implement.
The weed problem can perhaps
: best be solved by making for the
J lawn as favorable as possible for
; the lawn grasses and to maintain
strict watch at all times tC

On an average at least 80 per-
sons have attended each of these
lectures; thus the college has
reached approximately 10000 peo-
pie in the course of the year. The .
committee is strongly of the
opinion that these lectures are
serving a useful purpose and that /
they are furthering the general
interests of Delaware College. We
suggest that the work be con-
tinued on practically the present
basis.
The report proceeds:
"Probably the most effective
work, however, deals directly with
the high schools. Last year we
held a reasonably successful Essay
and Oratorical contest open to all
our high schools in Delaware. For
special reasons this contest is
omitted this year, but hereafter
we expect it to be a permanent
feature of our work. Also, next
year, we propose to take advan-
tage of the great interest in de-
batting to encourage the forma-
tion of a Debating League. These
activities probably help the Col
lege much more than appears on
the surface. We suggest that,
within proper limits, the resources
of the college library be placed at
the disposal of the high schools
for the above mentioned purposes.
Especially we ask leave to recon-
mend that the annual visitation of
the high schools be placed on de-
finite and permanent basis, as this
visitation brings about an init
mate and personal relationship,
highly desirable from every point
of view.
THE work of the past year, we
think, has been sufficient to test
the college extension idea, and we
feel that some further lines of ac-
tivity may we'll be developed in
the near future. To that end it is
desirable to put college extension
on definite basis. We suggest
therefore, the following lines OF
activity:
|. Extension lectures, as de
scribed above.
2. High school visitatios, as de
scribed above.
3. Extension centers. We be
lieve this work should be develop
ed next year and that in its way i
will prove fully as popular as tn
lectures. Work in these center
should receive college credit.
4. Correspondence Courses. (
study should be made of thi
phase of eXtnesiOn work and plan
formulated, with view to the in
PRODUCTION of correspondence wor
as soon as feasible.
In the extension work of the col
lege your committee believes tina
it is good policy to extend our aC
tivities beyond the bounds of tn
State, especially into those part
of Maryland and Pennsylvani
which may be regarded as natul
ally Delaware College territory.
Before next fall, we hope to is
sue an attractive bulletin dealin
with all phases of our college e>
tension work.
