INTERESTING AGRICUL-
TURAL REPORTS SUBMITTED

Heads of the various depart
ments of the Delaware College Ex-
pertinent Station have just SUBJ
mitted to Director Harry Hayward
of the station their reports cover
ing the work done in their de-
partments during the fiscal year
ending June 30. These reports are
unusually interesting to the farm
ers of the State as they tell of the
many experiments that are being
made and the results obtained rel
ative to various crops and fruits
that can be grown in the State.
Those who submitted reports are,
Professor Charles A. McCue, hor-
ticulturist; Professor A. E. Gran
than, agronomist; DR.. Thomas F.
Manns, of the department of Plant
Pathology and Soil Bacteriology,
and Professor Firman Thompson,
of the department Of chemistry.
Because of the great success of
the college farm peach orchard
during the past two years the re-
port of Professor McCue, the horti-
culturist, is of special interest,
The report gives many details rel
ative to the experiments that are
being made with fruit at the col
lege farm and also recommends
nut culture in Delaware. The re.

THE SPIRIT BEHIND
GREAT BRITAIN
What A Town Like Newark
Is Doing

An interesting letter has been
received by friends in Newark,
from William K. Esling, formerly
a resident of this community. Mr..
Esling's brother was for several
years editor of the Delaware
Ledger. Mr.. Esling is living at
Rossland, British Columbia, and
in his letter gives the following
interesting description of the war
spirit that prevails in that locality.
Everything is war here. Men
are drilling, and new contingents
are being sent to the concentration
camps as fast as they enlist. Of
our first batch of 35 boys from this
town, not one has been killed,
wounded or taken prisoner. They
were in the thick of the fight and
did nobly. People are raising
money for the Patriotic and Red
Cross funds, and you may imag-
inc the generous response when |
tell you that the little town of
Trail, with 2lOO people, has pledg
ed itself to contribute $25O0 each
month, from now until the end of
the war. Each man contributes a
days pay from the general mana
ger to the Office boy. The amount
is deducted from their checks, and
| turned over to the treasurer of
the fund, in lump each month
The merchants make up the other
S40O. Every German and Aus
trian, who shows the least sign
of feeling, or gives utterance tt
anything pro German, is interned
and made to work on the roads
Every conceivable end, whether
dances, raffles, sales or otherwise
is resorted to to raise funds TO
the soldiers"

Work On Armory
Progressing

Considerable showing has been
made during the last two weeks
on the new armory building being
erected at the corner of Delaware
avenue and Academy street. The
building promises to be ready for
occupancy in the near future.
Since the work has been taken over
bv the new contractor steel gir-
ders have been substituted for the
original beams, the arch over the
doorway rebuilt upon better lines,
and the appearance of the build
ing improved generally. Work
men are busy this week painting
the ceiling of the large 60 by 80
drill hall. All the heating appara-
tus and plumbing equipment is
complete and it would seem the
building might be occupied by
Company E upon their return from
the annual encampment to be held
at the State Rife Range from July
"a to July 81. The basement, which
is splendidly ventilated and the
size of the drill room above, is
equipped with individual lockers
and shower baths.

Mitchell-WOllastOn

One of the most beautiful home
weddings held in this community
in recent years was that of Miss
Ellen Mitchell, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Mitchell, near
Hockessin, and Mr.. Howard VOL
laston, of New Garden, Pa, held
at the home of the brides parents
last Saturday at two o'clock. The
sweet and simple Friends Cere-
mony was used. The house was
profusely decorated with Dorothy
Perkins roses, the entire decora-
tive scheme conforming to the
pink and green of the beautiful
blossoms.
Promptly at two o'clock, to the
strains of Lohengrin's Wedding
March, played by Miss Hazel Ash,
the bridal party entered the par
lar, and grouped themselves
around the fireplace and mantle
which had been transformed into
J veritable rose bower. The bride
was gowned in white crepe de
chine, trimmed with beautiful
lace. The veil was held in grace
full folds by sprays of lilies OF the
valley. The bridesmaids, Emile
and Ella Mitchell, wore white
frocks, embroidered in pink and
yellow roses, each carrying roses
to match her dress. Herman Coop
er acted as best man, and Joseph
Mitchell, as usher.
The impressive silence which
followed the assemblage of the
wedding party was broken by
Mary Heald Way, who made a
beautiful prayer. Following a
second silence the certificate was
signed by the bride and groom.
Another brief silence followed, be-
fore the reading of the marriage
certificate by Horace Dilworth
after which one of the overseers
"broke meeting" Thomas Z
Mitchell, Sarah j. Mitchell, Hor
ace L. Dilworth and Sara F. Dill
: worth, acted as overseers.
Following the ceremony, Hanna
caterer of Wilmington, took charg
About one hundred guests wer
present. The bride and groom re
ceived many handsome gifts
About four o'clock they left ami
shower of confetti, for a wed
ding trip in Virginia.

Street Improve
ments Begun

A force of twenty men under the
direction of Forrest w. Lovett, is
at work on the new roadway being
built from the town limits to Main
street, along Elkton avenue. The
road is to be a water-bound mac
adam which in the early fall will
be swept and coated with Tarvia.
The street, which is a part of the
main road from Elkton to Will
mington, will not be closed to
traffic. All vehicles may use a
temporary road, to the right of the
main one, along which town coun-
Gil has run a string of electric
lights. 1t is hoped the work will
be completed in three weeks.

GARDEN WORK
Plan Tried In Newark Urged
Upon Cities

DR.. P. P. Claxton, Commission
er of Education, at Washington,
thinks every backyard in every
large city in the country should
produce fruit and garden vege-
tables for the home.
Experiments already made by
the Bureau of Education show
that with proper direction an av-
erage child between the ages of
six and twenty can produce on an
eighth of an acre from $50 to 500
worth of vegetables" says DR..
Claxton.
"a third of the children in the
city schools might easily produce
$500, 100000 a year."
In order to get the cooperation
of school authorities, he has or
ganized G. D. Jarvis, John N. Ran
dali and Miss Ethel Gowans as a
board of specialists to visit those
interested in home garden work
1t is the purpose of the bureau tc
help the cities, help the home
owners and convert unsightly
backwards into truck gardens. The
members of the board are now
touring various sections of the
country to gather data upon which
to base campaign to carry ou
the program of home gardening
for town children. There il
every indication that State ant
city authorities will cooperate.

Orchards

"The only permanent paintings
made during the year were those
that were necessary to fill vacan-
cies. The majority of these va
cancies occurred in the variety
peach orchard. In the northwest
corner of the orchard we have ex-
perienced a bad epidemic of peach
yellows and little peach. Not
withstanding the fact that dis
eased trees have been removed as
soon as discovered, only few of
the original trees planted in 1908
remain. The vacancies resulting
from these removals have always
been replanted as quickly as pos
sible. Otherwise this peach or
chard is in fine condition and bore
a full crop in 1914. Records of
yields from each tree were taken.
"The commercial peach orchard
is now in fine condition, except for
the loss of three Elberta trees
from little peach during the past
season, and the loss of five trees
of Belle of Georgia, from the same
cause ,and loss of three trees OF
Belle from yellows. 1t is particu-
larly gratifying to note that in the
past seven years only one tree in
the commercial orchard of Elber'

New Course In
The Summer School

One of the most attractive
courses offered at the Summer
School which opened at the State
College on Monday of this week, is
that on international Relations"
given by Mr.. Raymond Moley. Ow-
ing to the popular nature of the
subject Mr. Moley has arranged to
repeat each lecture at three daily
periods: at 9.35, in Room 13, at
1870 in Room 8, and at 2.30 in
Room IL. This plan has been
adopted in order that everyone
may have an opportunity to attend
the lectures. Mr.. Moley has also
announced that each lecture is
complete in itself, not necessarily
depending on the other lectures in
the series. The course promises
to be a luminous and suggestive
treatment of the present crisis in
world affairs, growing out of the
great war. Mr.. Moley is peculiarly
fitted by his study and experience
to make such course informing
and inspirational. He is a gradu-
ate of Columbia University. He
has studied largely with Professor
John Bassett Moore, that disting-
uished Delawarean who has
world reputation in this field of ac-
tivity. The course should make a
strong appeal, not only to the stu
dents in the Summer School but
also to the citizens of Newark and
members of the faculty. There
will be five lectures a week. The
first two weeks will be devoted to
the elements of nineteenth CEN
tury history, with special stress on
the structural relation of events;
the third week to brief review of
diplomatic history. The remain
ing lectures will deal with the rec
ognized rules of war; the case for
war; the place of force in modern
civilization; ethical, economic and
biological aspects of war and
peace; nternationalism touching
upon international Law and the
beginning of World Legislation
and World Courts, and the famous
treaties of the world. The morn
ing lectures today were attended
by thirty, a number of whom were
townspeople in no way connected
with the Summer SchrJl

Value Of Alum
mum Demonstrated

An interesting demonstration
was given last evening in the lee
ture room of the Presbyterian
Church by Messrs. Walls and Will
son, representative of the Wear
Ever Aluminium Company of Phil
adelphia. Several tests were made
with acids showing the enduring
qualities of the ware. Various
mixtures were cooked and allowed
to burn in both triple agate and
aluminium pans, illustrating the
advantage in the aluminium pan,
in cleaning test. Souvenir pans
were sold for twenty-five cents.

Motor Trip Through
The Southland

DR.. Dunlevy and party who left
early in June for motor trip
through the south returned to
their home in Newark last week.
The party covered, during the
time they were away, twenty-five
hundred miles, making the trip
through the beautiful Shenandoah
Valley, and over the Blue Ridge
mountains is four days. The party
visited relatives at Columbia, S.
c., and at Winsboro, thirty-five
miles distant, for several days.
Through the mountainous regions
they had many novel experiences
and much excitement in making
the relays planned on their itin-
erary in time to share the meals of
the rural inhabitants of the sec
tion. In one day the party crossed
thirty streams, the majority of
which were bridgeless. At Roam
oke in the Shenandoah, they drank
from the famous "Willow Spring
which runs by means of pipe
through the heart of tree plant
ed in 1850. The spring was made
famous by the soldiers who partic-
ipated in Stonewall Jackson's cam
paign in the Valley. Mrs. Dun
levy in speaking of the trip today
commented on the scarcity of cat
tie and chickens in the Carolinas
She was especially impressed she
declared, by the many beautiful
monuments to the Confederate sol
diers, bearing the simple inscrip-
tions, 'TO the Men who fought fO1
what they believed right; by the
bronze statue erected at Columbia
to the women of the Confederacy
and by the simple granite shaft
seventeen feet in height, at Fred
ericksburg, Va, erected by the
"Marys" of the United States, tc
MARY, the Mother of Washing
ton" The visitors were delighted
with the southern hospitality
which met them everywhere, ant
pronounce the trip delightful
one.

SUMMER SCHOOL IN FULL SWAY
LARGE BODY OF EARNEST STUDENTS IN AT
TENDANCE

The third annual session of the |
Summer School at Delaware Col
lege opened auspiciously on Mon
day, June 2S, with an enrolment
of las students, from Delaware,
Maryland, and Pennsylvania. 1t
is probable that by the end of this
week the number will exceed that
of last year when 100 were in at
tendance. Those who have enter
ed this year are, for the most part,
better prepared to do good work
than were those of either of the
two preceding sessions. This is
partly due to the fact that the
Faculty has refused admission to
the school to immature pupils,
some of whom were admitted last
year and who, it was felt, took
time which should have been
given to the teachers who were in
attendance. Twenty-Five pupils
belonging in this class were re-
fused admission. DR.. Wagner,
state commissioner of education,
and Superintendent Cross, Car
roll, and Hardesty, were in at
tendance on Tuesday to advise
their teachers in regard to what
work they should take; Superin,
tendent McVey, of Cecil county
Maryland, was present on Mon
day for the same purpose. There
is a greater proportion of Mary
land teachers present this veal
than last year or the year before
This is probably to be accounted
for by the fact that State Super
intendent of Education Stephen
and the School Board of Maryland
, have announced that all teacher
who attend the Delaware Colleg
Summer School will be given
credit on their teachers certifi
Gates for all work passed in tn
! school, that they will also be eS
