NEW LAWS FOR FARMERS

The Delaware Legislature of 1915
enacted two laws of special interest to
farmers. One Of them, going into eff
feet September 16, provides that all
seeds sold in packages of ten pounds or
more must be labeled with the name of
the seed, the name and address of the
person selling the seed and the approx
mate percentage of the purity of the
seed. 1t is unlawful to sell seed con-
tanning more than one in one thousand
of any or all of the following: Quack
Canada thistle, dodder, wild mustard,
wild oats, English plantain and orange
hawkweed. Any one either selling or
buying seed can submit samples to the
State Board of Agriculture, Dover, and
have them examined for purity and for
vitality.
The old law is to encourage apple
growers to pack their fruit in a better
manner. 1t provides that the Standard
for Delaware shall be of four grades
Delaware fancy grade, Delaware A,
Delaware B, and Delaware Unclassifi-
ed. The fancy grade shall consist of
apples of one variety which are well
grown specimens, hand picked, pro-
perly packed, of good color for the va
riety, normal shape, free from dirt dis
eases, insect or fungus injury, bruises
and other defects, except such as are
necessarily caused in the operation of
packing. Delaware A grade shall be
practically like the fancy except that
they may be ten per cent. below the
foregoing specifications on combina-
ton of all defects, or five per cent on g
single defect The other grades are
lower. All grades that are offered fol
sale in closed packages must be pro
perly branded in plain letters and fig
ures with the name and address of the
packer, or of the person by whose au
thority the apples were packed, the
name of the variety and tee grade ol
class of the apples contained therein
and the minimum size of the fruit il
the package. 1t is unlawful to sell il
closed packages apples which do no
comply with the grades named unless
the package is marked mot hand pick
ed, wormy, diseased" or "scabby" a
the case may be.

HICKS FORECAST FOR AUGUST

The first reactionary storm period is
central on the 4th, 5th and 9Th. The
Moon is in apogee on the 4th, and at
greatest north declination on the 5th.
The barometer will fall, and the tenn
perature will rise to very high readings
on and next to these days. Midsummer
clouds, thunder gusts and scattering
rains will visit many localities, during
the progress of these disturbances from
west to east across the country.
The first regular storm period is CEN
tral on the 10th, coincident with the
the new Moon, or Moons conjunction
with the Sun and Earth. The Moon
will not only be in conjunction with
the Earth and Sun on the 10th, but it
will be at an eclipse node. This fact
will add greatly to probabilities of ex-
cessively high temperatures, menacing
barometic readings, and violent to dan
gerous storminess.
The second reactionary storm period
will center on and touching the 10th
and 18th. The Noon is at first quarter
on the 18th, approaching its greatest
south declination. Disturbances prom
ises to be moderate at this time, there
being no combination of astronomical
causes indicating abnormal results. By
the middle of August, however, it must
be kept in mind that West India storms
may begin their ravages as far north
ward as the gulf regions and on the
south Atlantic coasts.
The second regular storm period is
central on the 22d, extending from the
Goth to 25 inclusive. Added to the re-
gular Vulcan forces at this period, the
planet Venus is in perihelion, and the
Moon in perigee together on the goth.
The Moon is in opposition to Earth and
Sun on the oath, the autumnal equinox
is gaining in force. and the periods of
both Mercury and Venus are beginning
to be felt.
The third reactionary storm period is
central on the Goth, 9th and 28th. The
Moon being on the equator on the 26th,
the disturbances from the preceding
period will hardly disappear before re-
newal of storm conditions will be appar-
ent on and next to that date. The
Mercury, Venus and Earth forces will
be intensifying at this period, promis
ing many active disturbances, and call
ing for watchful precautions on lane
and seas. The first two days of re-
gular storm period wind up the month
This period is central on September I'd

BULLETINS ON LEGUMES

Legumes are grown largely in Della
ware, and proftably, but they are not
grown as largely as they miget be. In
stead of bare lands in winter in the or
chard or after corn and tomatoes and
similar crops, the land should be cover
ed with a legume. Instead of idle land
in summer, legume like cowpeas or
soybeans or other nitrogen-gatherer
should be growing on it. The ancient
alchemist died trying to find the philoso-
baser metals into gold. His successor,
in recent days, by using a miscroscope
instead of an acid, discovered the mi
crobe that transmutes fir and clods into
food for man and beast. The microbes
build fertilizer factories on the roots of
legumes- es-where billions of willing
workers toll to provide US with food,
clothing, comfort, cash, education and
civilization. They are working to make
the world beautiful and luxurious, and
we ought to have gumption enough to
take advantage of their labors. If we
do not, we deserve to be poor. We
should not desplse the day of small
things, nor the work of microbes.
Delaware farmers were the first to
raise crimson clover for hay, for seed
and to improve the fertility of the soil.
For years they made use of cowpeas for
the same purposes. Probably in no
state are these and number of other
legumes more extensively or intelli-
gently employed than here. But still
more can be made of them especially as
commercial crops. A bean that sells
for cash is as good a soil improver, it
will catch as much nitrogen and create
as mech humus, as a bean that is simply
turned under to decay. String beans,
lima beans, field beans, garden peas,
canning peas, are all good commercial
crops in many places that are no more
favorable for their profitable production
than Delaware in soil, climate and
markets. 1t is true that one cannot
grow a new crop with the best success
at the first trial But legumes are gold
and should not be given up until every
effort has been made to learn the secrets
of their production. Whatever the pur.
pose of growing the crop, it is not wisa
to be discouraged by few failures.
Success comes after many defeats. The
nitrogen gathering microbe does mo-
live on any roots but legume roots. i
cannot grow on corn roots, nor wheat
not potato nor tomato roots. The value
of nitrogen gathered by the legume il
to be added to the profit of growing
them and subtracted from the profit o
growing these other crops that follow
If this is done, our bookkeeping will
show some surprises and should en-
courage US to still more persistant eff
forts to grow legumes.

FARMERS NEED AUTOMOBILES

In an article in the current issue of
Farm and Fireside automobiles are
taken up and discussed as labor saving
and time saving devices. Following is
an extract from the article showing
how farmers need automobiles:
''No one class of men has more real
need for car than does the farmer.
To most farmers a car is an investment
to most other men it is a luxury at
least point must be stretched to figure
out how it is really and truly an invest
ment
"The experiences of a business man
living some distance from his place of
business will be interested here.
"The car was a five-passenger tour
ing car in the 81, 800 class. 1t was
driven an average of ten miles day
with three passengers.
"This car cost 81, 500 and at the end
of the three years sold for $500 The
depreciation amounted to more than
the first cost of some five passenger
cars. The repairs were made at com
mercial garages.
'This item of expense will be reduc-
ed to almost nothing by farmer who
cares for his own car. The labor charge
at a garage is more than the cost of the
repair part itself, rates ranging from
so cents to 81 an hour. | have friend
whose garage bill for the repair of his
car was $l4. Is. On investigation he
found that the Is cents was for bolt
and the $l4 for labor!
But even at the figures shown his
travelingd did not cost him as much as il
would have cost to travel the same
number of miles by buggy or wagon.
"This man travelled an average dis
tance of 10 miles day. This required
about half an hour for each of the
three persons in the car. Whereas il
would have required at least two hours
day to have made the same trip with
a driving team, and three with worl
team. Also it costs about 60 cents {
day to feed a team of horses. So that
by the time you figure in the time in
volved, and the costs of operation, the
balance is in favor of the automobile -
even when the cost per mile Is as higl
as it is in this case. "

MIDDLETOWN'S SIXTH DEFEAT

Last Saturday at the Academy Park
the loyal Middletown fans were treated
to still another Bull Run spectacle when
the home lineup lost to the Silverbrook
of Wilmington by the inglorious score
of A to II. This is No. 6 in the straight
string of defeats
The only thing that lessons the cha
grin at this last disaster is that only 2-9
of the licking is chargeable to Middle
town ball experts the 79 being credited
to the hired Hessisns who from three
or four different towns have been com
ing here to get weekly drubbing at so
much per head, it is said
The Transcript renews its oft made
suggestion that the management try
home talent for a change-a nine of
Middletown players, or at least seven
out of the nine. They can't do worse,
and might, probably would do better
than these paid outsiders have done
We just guess the public is getting a
trife weary of giving their coin to see
salaried strangers get these weekly
(weakly?) wallopings. nproof of this,
we are told, that many of the spectators
in the grandstand, disgusted at seeing
home players put off the nine and the
outsiders getting badly thumped for the
sixth time hand running, actually
'rooted" for the Wilmington team.
They thought they would be cheering
for outsiders in any event, and so chose
those that could win.
The experience of the Odessa team
affords a useful lesson. They began
using home players only, and though ir
their first year they won but three
games, this year they have lost but
three, and one of them was an accident
Again we suggest that Midd!etowr
use the same wise policy, by beginning
the development and training of home
team. The loyal home folks will be
patient with such team even it it does
get badly licked at the start-in any
event, it has pretty big margin be
fore it equals the dismal record thesC
paid outsiders have made
Again, we say let the Juniors anC
Seniors play together.
