LEVY coURTmAN ACQUITTED
Jury Decides 5urris Was Not Guilty of
Violating a State Law


Violating State Law
Samuel l.. Burris, of Wilmington.
Levy Court commissioner from the
First Levy Court District of New
Castle County. was acquitted in the
Court of General Sessions, at noon
Wednesday, of the charge of violat-
ing a state law, in connection with
the making of repairs to Washington
street bridge. Chief Justice Penne-
viii delivered the charge at the open
ing Of court, and the jury retired at
10. 45 o'clock. After celebrating for
one hour and half the jury returned
at u. Is O'Clock with the verdict of
not guilty Il was the contention of
the state in the case against Com
missioner Burris. that he violated a
state law by giving out work on the
bridge in excess Of $500, the law pro-
viding that in cases where the price
exceeds $500, bids shall be advertised
for and contracts awarded.
After the jury had been out for
one hour, a communication was sent
to the court, requesting that the
charge be read to them again. The
Jurors were brought back to the court
room and the charge re-read to them.
Following the verdict, Mr.. Burris
was discharged by the court.

COUNTY AGENT DISCUSSES
USE OF NITRATE OF SODA
WANTS COOPERATION OF KENT
FARMERS TO TRY THIS OUT
Has a Beneficial Effect on Peach Trees.
Also Talks on Spraying For Toma-
to Blight. Silage Corn Varieties

The County Agent would he glad
TO hear from farmers who would like
to try the use of nitrate of soda as
top dressing on either timothy or
wheat; and as an application TO peach
trees that need feeding. We had
excellent results with the use of nj
trate last yesr on the above crops,
and We wish to give it further trial
this year. Sufficient quantity will
be furnished without cost to those who
first apply. and who agree to use it
according to instructions and report
their results. While the use of nj
trate of soda is questionable this
year. because of war prices. yet we
want to get the results Of these dem
onstrations to be able to advise re.
garding its use when prices are
notmal.

SiIage Corn Varieties
Boys and Girls Clubs

The Boys Corn Club Work is start
ing off with practically every boy en-
rolled for 1916 who was in the Acre
Club work last year. This speaks
well for the popularity of the Club
work since but few Of the boys re-
eeived prizes last year which was dis
couraging to them most of the season.
The County Agent hopes to enlist the
interest of many new prospective club
members this year. when it is hoped
the total enrolment will reach the
hundred mark. Everyone should
boost tais movement which has so
much to command it in an educational
way and as a practical scheme to
arouse greater interest in the farm
on the part Of our boys. The Club
work this year will be followed next
year with Poultry and Pig Clubs in
addition. In some of the schools Of
the County the Girls are organi z
ing Canning Clubs for the coming
season. which will be under the su-
pervision of Miss Jefferson. who dir
ected the work last year. If your
school is not represented in this
Club Work it is your business to en-
courage the teacher and the boys and
girls in il. Address all communi-

Spraying for Blight

Last year the tomato blight was
very destructive in this county, and
this year we expect to carry on plots
in all parts of the county to deter
mine how effective spray materials
are in the control of this disease.
From the results obtained in Jersey
last year. it would appear to be a
profitable practise. 1t would seem
especially advisable to spray the
plants in the seed bed with Bordeaux
just previous to setting in the field.
as this will aid in the control of the
disease. Write for details.
Silage Corn Varieties
Because of the excellent results Sc
cured last year from the silage corn
tested in Kent County, these demon
strations will be continued this year.
Enough seed will be furnished each
CO operator. upon request, to plant
an acre; and each one planting the
corn will be requested to compare the
native corn with it as to yield. quality
