CAPONIZE YOUR LATE
HATCHED COCKERELS

1T is my judgment that capons will
bring more money this var chan ever
before" says Herbert Brownell presi-
dent Of the Ohio ionltry and Egg
Slippers association, concerning D0ul
try prices. There Il only one possible
kind Of figuring that could lead to
any other conclusion. The cost prices
of food have heen f3rced SO high that
people are .Gcking for a cheaper kind
of food this might lead some to
think thai tapons would be cheaper be-
cause people will turl to cheaper
meats. On the other hand, the same
argument leads me to believe that
capons will be very high. We find that
on account Of the high price of tllr-
keys, people have turned to capons.
because good capon weighs less than
a good turkey and a good company
dinner can be produced cheaper with
capon than with turkey.
Il think one will find on examine
tion that all cheaper kinds of food
have risen in price much faster than
the high priced kinds. / know Of no
poultry that has risen in price as
fast as old roosters; but, taking the
whole situation into consideration, r
believe capons viii be higher priced
this year than eyre before"
The principal advantage Of capon-
izing, according to the College Of Agri
culture, are that the capons grow
larger than cockerels, make more eco
nomical growth, are more easily
handled, sell for higher prices and are
more economical for the customer on
account Of less waste in dressing and
cooking. In addition the flesh is Of
better quality.
A statement from the College says,
DO not sell late hatched cockerels as
oroilers unless Of the Leghorn Or
other light weight breeds. Caponize
them for market after the holidays at

ZIG EGG SHnRTA IN

The number Of hens on Ohio farms
is less this spring than for several
years. Many farmers have sold q
large percentage Of their hens be-
cause Of the high price Of feed. Fur
ther reduction OF the number Of hens
on farms will follow the close Of the
spring egg producing season.
The number of chicks hatched on
Ohio farms this season is fully one
third below normal. This decrease is
due TO the high price Of eggs, poor
matches during the early part Of the
season and high feed costs. i
The report Of the Office of Markets
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture for May is shows q net
decrease OF 1853 per cent in the amount
Of eggs IN storage in comparison with
the same day last year. VI
These facts all point to an increas-
ing shortage In our egg supply. This
shortage cannot be wholly made up
before another year, since it is now too
late to hatch pullets for early winter
egg production, and the old hens
which are carried over will not become
an important factor in the egg supply
before January.
Partial relief will bs afforded II The,
poultry raisers throughout the state
will eliminate the usual loss Of eggs
during the hot weather BY careful
handling. "A bulletin On 'eThe Care Of
Eggs for Market" may be had on ap-
plication TO the Agricultural College
Extension Service, Columbus.
PRUNING TOMATOES
Experiments have shown that to-
matoeg that are pruned have pro-
duced larger yields If more than one
stem is allowed to develop. When
the plants are prlned to two stems,
the spront that starts Just above the
first blossom cluster is permitted to-
grow. It will develop nearly as well
as the main stem and should be pr1n-
ed and tied just as the main stem.
Further information on pruning and
spraying as well az harvesting may be
had from Part 2 Of circular on
tomato Growing" issued BY the Ar
ricultural College Extension Service,
Columbus, Ohio.

able to place at the disposal of fam
lilies medical and legal aid together

tion will last six weeks and will in
clude lectures and practical field
work. Membership in Institutes will
be limited to twenty-five in order to

DELAWARE CROPS AHEAD
Of TEN-YEAR AVERAGE
But Distinctly Lower Than The
Comparative Developments
In August

Crop conditions in Delaware on
September l were 4 5 per cent better
than the average for the past ten
years on that date, but % per cent
below the estimated condition on Aug
ust l Of this year. according to a re-
port just issued by the Department of
Agriculture. For the entire United
States the average condition of all
crops is 2.5 per cent better than for
one month ago. So Delaware is we'll
ahead of the national ten-year aver
age, but is distinctly the loser in the
comparative results of the crop de-
velOpments in August.
Total production OF important pro-
ducts Of the farm. throughout the
country. compared with last year. is
thus estimated:
Wheat. 104 4 per cent of last year;
corn. 1857 per cent; white potatoes.
1921 per cent; sweet potatoes. 124. 2
per cent; tobacco. 1861 per cent;
hay, S3.6 per cent; appies. S7.6 per
cent; peaches, 1854 per cent.
There are S.3 per cent less stock
hogs in the country now than a year
ago. Acreage intended for clover
seed is is per cent less rnan a year
ago. The forecast is tor 4 production
of 25 per cent less clover seed than
last season.
The level of prices received by the
farmers Of the country dropped about
9 per cent during August. In the last
nine years the decrease has averaged
only about ~ per cent. But on Sep
tember l the index figure of prices
was about 73 per cent higher than
year ago; I'LL per cent higher than
two years ago. and 1Ol per cent high
er than the average Of the past nine
years on September 1

LIVELY CHASE AFTER DEER

The Delaware State News in its this
week edition, prints the following:
According to a report received at
the State News Office yesterday, a
number of residents of Kent County
and a pack of dogs enjoyed a real old
fashioned deer hunt on Tuesday ev-
ening. About 10 o'clock that night
residents in the vicinity of Hazlett-
Vile and Willow Grove heard the loud
baying Of dogs. No attention was
paid to them at first it being the gen
eral impression that the dogs had
started up a raccoon or a rabbit
Shortly after 10 o'clock however, Har
ry Neidig saw a large doe deer. which
he estimated would weigh about two
hundred pounds, running ahead of the
dogs, jumping fences and underbrush
in huge leaps. It was at first believ-
ed that the deer had escaped from the
circus that was showing near Dover
that night, but this lat5r was discOv-
cred to be untrue. The dogs cOntin-
ued chasing the deer all yesterday but
at last reports the deer was still
ahead

GAMER Brings SUIT
IN TOMATO CASES
F. A. Torsch Starts Proceedings
Against Joseph Shockley and
Louis w. PTettyman.

Frank A. TOrsch. through his local
agent, Lee o. Truitt. has brought suit
against Joseph ShOckley and Louis
W. Prettyman. before Justice OF the
Peace Hendrixson. charging that they
failed to deliver their tomatoes in ac-
cordance with contracts made with
him. The cases are in line with 9TH
er suits instituted in other sections of
the state by the Gamers, in cases
where contracts have been broken.
The case Of Prettyman was settled
without trial on Wednesday. In this
agreement Prettyman agreed to de-
liver all of his tomatoes to TOrsch,
and to assume all costs in the case.
The case Of Shcckley will come before
Esquire Hendrixson at eleven o'clock
Saturday morning, at which time ii
is expected that a large number OF
farmers and other persons interested
will be present. J. Hall Anderson
has been retained by Mr. TOrsch to
conduct his case and James NJ. Tun-
nell will represent Mr.. Shockley in
the suit.
For years past it has been the Gus
tom Of the farmers 20 contract with
the local Gamers for their tomatoes.
This year the contract price was
twenty-five cents a basket. The mar
ket opened at prices ranging about
fifty cents a basket, and large num-
bers of farmers are said to have jump /
ed their contracts. Buyers for other /
concerns have been in all sections of |
the two lower counties paying high /
prices for the tomatoes. and at no |
time has the open market price drop /
ped to the contract price. On We'd /
nesday of this week tomatoes were
selling at the Milford depot for as
high as SIC per basket. One man
sold two hundred baskets at that
fancy price.
The Gamers state that they will
bring suit against those farmers who
have failed to live up to their con-
tracts, and the farmers are loud in
their cry that they will never con
tract in the future. The suits brought
by the Torsch interests are the first
in Milford against any Of the
farmers

SCHOOL OPENED ON MONDAY

The Milford Public Schools opened
Monday morning for the regular
school year, and at that time there
was a large number of students pres
ent to start their studies. The
teachers report that the number in
the High School is greater than that
Of last season and that all the avail
able seats are filled. Every indica-
tion points to a successful school
year. This year the afternoon ses-
sions Y.ll last until four o'clock, in
stead of three-thirty as in the past.
This will give the teachers an oppor-
tunity to accomplish more work each
day, and will also do away with the
necessity Of employing at least two
extra teachers this year.
