of the war

and more forebodng Whatever the

COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

The County Agent recently visited
two farms in Sussex county where win
ter vetth is making remarkably fine
growth On one field of the farm
operated by Harry HOllenden, at Red
den, dye and vetch were sown together,
and now only the vetch is to be seen,
the rye evidently having failed to start,
perhaps because of inferior seed. In
places the yetch is in scattered stand,
but where any is growing at all
heavy yield of hay is promised. The
present size of the plants is much great
er than with scarlet clover on similar
land, and the underground growth,
which is equally important from the
standpoint of soil improvement, IS also
much greater The presence Of nitro
gen noduleS on the roots is good evil
dence that the land is well inOculated.
On the farm of George L. Biddle, West
of Greenwood, altho the Yetch is in
small blocks, the appearance indicates
an excellent yield of hay. At the pres
ent time the plot Of yetch and clover
looks better than that containing vetch
and rye, but a different story may be
told when the mower starts to work
at hay time. In every case reported
to the County Agent where drouth at
planting time has cut down the stand
Of scarlet clover, If vetch is near at
hand for comparison 1t has stood the
drouth far better than the clover.
Inspection of a number Of the dem
onstration plots on Tdhich nitrate OF
shows i tJees :. /" increase in
fruit may IN these plots
when compared WIN untreated trees. |
This may be due to the fact that all |
trees were so heavily burdened last !
year, and the top-dressed trees more
than others, that trees are unable to 4
set many buds under any conditions.
A farmer who had COW peas in his /
orchard the year before last and had
hy peaches for the good Of his |
1t 1915, offers the suggestion |
Pts not required to find treat
10 give more peaches but rather 1
IA way to dispose Of the surplus
crOps. The idea in using methods that
increase yields of fruit, however, is
not so much an increase in profits due
to the greater number of baskets in
the wear Of abundance, but rather an
increase in the yield in the normally
Door peach year. If a person knows
bow 20 make his trees bear, he can
at least come out even in the year of
heavy production, and in the off years
is apt to be much ahead of his neigh
bors. While no one can pick OFF green
fruits and so keep the tree from ex-
hansting itself from overbearing. The
general difficulty is that in good years
when every one has peaches, the aver
age grower thinks it unpOrftable to
i.fool" with his peaches, while in the
scant year there is nothing to thin.
The result is that little, if any, thin
ming is done.

The Murder At MiIlyiIIe.

The Charles Town Spirit and Advocate
give additional particulars OF the murder
OF the Italian, Frank Diaddezio, at Mill
vile in this county last week. The shanty
at Millyille, occupied by Francisco Dad
dezia, Sevenia Diaddezia, Cyverina Ga
Iini and Wainenica Diaddezia was entered
by two colored men after midnight.
They demanded of the occupants that
they show them where thei. money was
hid. They held the flashIight on Cialini
and told him 10 lie still. Francisco Dad
dezia was lying with his feet to the wall
and raised up TO get his pistol, where
upon one OF the burglars fired five times,
three shots striking Diaddezia, two close
together in the temple and one in the
stomach. After the shooting the intruders
left the shanty at once and an alarm was
made, but the murderers could not be To-
Gated.
Another shack was visited by the rob-
bers short while before on the same
night, some one taking long pole and
reaching in the window and taking pair
OF trousers down and extracting money
therefrom. The robberies occurred right
after payday at the quaries, and an at
tempt was probably made TO make big
haul. About two months ago one OF the
shacks was entered and $40 taken.
An investigation followed early Tues
day morning. Members OF the colony
soon made up purse 10 have a pair OF
blood-hounds brought 10 the scene OF the
murder. The dogs were brought from
Suffolk, Va. Three shacks other than
the one where the murder was committed
had been visited and robbed on the same
night. The dogs took the trail from one
OF these and not Diaddezio's, and after
circling about the neighborhood for few
minutes, came up 10 the front door OF a
shack occupied by James Milton, a COL
ored laborer at the quarries. Several
times the dogs were taken 10 the scene
of the murder and just as often would
they run back TO the Milton house. Mil
ton was taken into custody, and to pre-
vent the infuriated Italians from doing
him bodily harm he was removed to the
lookup at Harper's Ferry to await a
hearing. An inspection OF Millions per-
son yielded over $500 cash in belt I'M
der his clothing. Milton is about IS
years old and came to MllIville from the
south. Diaddezio was about So years OF
age. and il is said he has wife and three
children in Italy.

Baseball Notes.


We had an exciting game OF baseball
here asst Thursday, when our local team
played against The Berryvillains. Henry
Shepherd pitched for the home boys,
while Bowie twirled for the visitors.
Bowie had apparently won his game,
for the score stood six to one in favor
OF Berryville when Shepherdstown came
to bat in the eighth inning. But we made
a run and felt ENCOURAGED; said encour-
agement became enthusiasm when in a
few moments the bases were filled, with
R. D. Shipley at the bat; and then when
friend Shipley banged athree-bagger into
right field and brought in the three runs,
following with another Immediately after
ward when wild throw gave him the
chance, the enthusiasm became frenzy
OF rejoicing-the score was tied In the
ninth inning Shepherd retired the Berry,
Vile batters with little trouble, and then
Shepherdstown made the winning run
aud captured the game, score 7 to g..
Twas thrilling finish, though rough on
Bowie, who pitched very fine game.
Yesterday we had another game with
the Marist College team from Washing
ton, who are in camp, with number OF
other students oil that institution, at Rat
fling Springs, near Harper's Ferry. This
is one OF the best teams that has ever
played here, and though last week we
gave them run for their moneY-theY
having won by the score OF 3 to 2-they
handed us good licking yesterday,
score 7 to |. The locals just couldn't hit
McConville, who pitched mighty fine
game from beginning to end, while on
the contrary the visitors jumped on My
ers if he weakened ever so little and
filled The air with ballsse The visitors
played such good, clean game that we
couldn't begrudge them their victory
indeed we want them 10 come back and
give us another game or so before they
leave this section.
The Shepherdstown junior baseball
team journeyed 10 Charles Town last
Thursday for their return game OF ball.
Although the score was unpleasant, 10 to
4, the boys say they were treated tair and
square. Our boys put up fine game,
but were beaten, they say, because they
had to play in hay up TO their knees.
Manager Charles Musser would like any
team wishing game 10 write him at oace.

Olling the Streets.

The work of oiling the streets of Shep-
herdstown was begun yesterday under
the direction of Mayor Martin. Wherever
householders have purchased oil the town
authorities are having itapplied, and sew
eral Of the principal streets will thus be
made free from The dust nuisance. Yes
terday New street was oiled between
Duke and Church, and as all the oil
ordered is on hand the work will be
pushed right along. The crossings,
which had gotten in such bad condition,
are also being repaired. Fine crushed
stone is used TO fill in The holes and
hollows, and the oil will keep this per-
manently in place. The streets had got
ten very dusty, and though the frequent
rains had helped the matter considerably.
everybody is glad that the oil is being
applied, for it affords instant relief.
