DEMAND FOR seed CORN.

From time to time there come to this
office calls for seed corn of sore special
variety or merely for good seed corn.
It is a common result of corn shows,
/ national, state, county, and local, that
farmers become dissatisfied with their
own stock and desire change, and yet
do not know where to get seed adapted
to local conditions. Many farmers, with
good reason, prefer to get seed from
their neighbors or others who have
conditions similar to their own, rather
than 20 far away for their seed. When
seed calls come it is very difficult to satisfy
them, possibly for two reasons. There
NAV or may not be lack of first class
seed corn in the county. First class seed
corn. of course, means more than seed
that will grow, for it should also mean
we'll bred seed, uniform in every respect,
free from mixture of any kind, produc-
tive under our conditions, and suitable
for the particular purpose desired. The
demand for such seed is constantly
increasing. as anyone will testify who
has such seed for sale and who has
made buyers acquainted with the fact:
The second reason is more probable
than the first. If there is good seed
corn in the county, there is need OF
more advertising on the part of the
grover, orr of a seed exchange open to
growers and seed buyers. A great deal
of free advertising is available to those
who exhibit corn at the corn shows,
advertising which has been most proht-
able TO corn breeders in the northern
mart of the state. These men, to be
sure. have employed much effort IN the
breeding and growing of their corn, but
thev have been well repaid by the IN
creased price obtained. This has come
about because these men had the stock
that other men wanted, ard because they
LEI other men know that they had 1t.
The seed exchange has taken num-
her of different forms in various parts OF
fine country. This year it might be
started In a small way thru the county
sgent who would be pleased to know OF
those who have been taking unusual
care in selecting corn, and who would
act as middleman between
him who has and him who wants.
While no guarantee of quality on the
nart of the county agent can be given,
Al least this year, it is possible that
much good might result If such an ex
change were built up gradually, ana
that after a few years some kind OF
guarantee might be given, after a care
mi investigation of the quality OF the
seed offered for sale.

DELAWARE FARMER EDITORS.

At the regular meeting of the Agri-
cultural Club at Delaware College,
Thursday evening, April 22d, new
officers were elected for the board of the
Delaware Farmer as follows: Editor in
Chief, Robert Weimer; Assistant Editor
W. c. Newton, Associate Editors: An
imal Husbandry, +. w. Seeley; Hor-
ticulture, L. G. Mulholland; Agronomy,
w. V. Marshall; Questions and Answers,
F. A. Gilman; Grange News, A. b.
Thomas; Campus Notes, c. r. Fischer;
Business Manager, J H. Salevan; Assis-
tant Business Manager, J. A. Hopkins,
! Jr; Advertising Manager, w. B. Sew
ard; Circulation Manager, w. H. Savin.
As 1t is probable that not all the far
mers know about this paper, it might be
well to add a word concerning it. 1t is
| the most direct way for keeping up with
what the agricultural department of our
] state college is doing, and, in a year or
two, when the new agricultural building
! is erected at Newark, we shall be very
proud of its progress. The Delaware
Farmer is the oRlv agricultural paper
published on the Delmarvia Peninsula.
It is now little over year old, having
been started in January, 1914, and is
continually extending its influence as
well as improving its contents. It's
management is entirely in the hands of
agricultural students at the college. 1t
is full of the things that successful men
are doing today, which make them
forge ahead of the less up-to- date
farmers. Its articles are prepared by
college professors, students, and sue
cessful practical farmers, and they are
so full of facts that a reader can't
afford to skip anything or he may miss
something of vital interest to himself A
few months ago down state farmer
asked a Delaware College student to get
him some information from the college
on the treatment of black rot in grapes
The student happened to have copy of
the February issue of the Delaware
Farmer along which he placed in the
hands of his friend at once. This issue
contained an article on black grape rot, |
and its treatment. The very next week, |
when the student happened to see the |
farmer again, he was greeted with a |
fifty cent piece and a request to have
that farmers name put on the subscrip- |
ton list. The paper can undoubtedly |
be of use to every Delaware agriculturist, |
general farmer or specialist, |
and the common excuse against other
that a farmer does not have
time to read all that comes to him
throught the mail now - cannot hold
against this one when its merits are
known for it is concise enough 10 be
quickly read, and is thoroly practical.
Farmers of the state, rally and help to
boost this undertaking of the college
boys in behalf of yourselves. Fifty
cents, sent to the circulation manager at
Newark, will place your name on the
list.

BUSES IN MARYLAND.

It now seems improbable that trolley
lines will be constructed either on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland or in the
lower counties of Delaware. Some bet
ter means, or some means equally as good
apparently are in sight-the motor buses.
Good roads on the Eastern Shore have
made this form of transportation feasi-
BILE.
The Centrevi1le Observer, says that
ten years ago there was practically no
feeling of community interest between
such towns as Centreville, Chestertown
and Easton. With the completion of
the good roads, however, there has been
an awakening of the spirit of community
closeness. Now a trip for business or
pleasure by automobile lines can bemade
at reasonable expense.
The buses of the Peninsula Transpor-
tation Company are making ready to run
between Cambridge and Snow Hill. and
the day is not far distant when buses
will be running on the good roads in all
parts of the Eastern Shore. Probably
they will have Delaware connections.
They surely would have if the roads of
the lower counties were such as they
should be.
All this is another argument for good
highways in the lower counties. For
years there has been talk of trolley
line in Kent and Sussex, but in view of
the development of buses which raise
questions concerning trolley companies,
it is unlikely that capitalists in the near
future would seriously consider construct
ing trolley lines.
The hope of the lower counties for easy
and frequent transportation between var
ious points rests with the adaptability of
the highways and the operation of buses.
The community spirit may be easily
aroused in Kent and Sussex as it has
been in Maryland. d.-Morning News.
