Cheap Winter Eggs

Prospects at present point to exceed.
ingly high prices for eggs this coming
winter, and in order to carry over the
summer supply and equalize the price,
every poultry raiser ought to preserve
some eggs for winter use. This should
be done not alone from patriotic mo-
tives, but from the standpoint of eco
nomy. The poultryman whose hens
strike" during the cold months, if no
eggs have been preserved, will be fore
ed to pay an exorbitant price for the
cold storage product, high prices for
fresh ones or 60 without. Although
preserved eggs cannot be sold very we'll
on the market, they are almost the
equal of fresh eggs for use in the home.
When used in this way. even though
the flock is producing the fresh ones
can be sold and the keeper obtains the
benefit of the higher price when the
demand is greatest.

PROGRESS AT DELAWARE

The progress of Delaware College
during the past few years has been most
noteworthy. 1t is seen not only in the
increased material equipment such as
an enlarged campus, new. substantial,
comodious and handsome buildings and
an enlarged faculty drawn from the
great educational centers but also in the
good will with which the College is held
by its constituents. An evidence of this
is seen in the action of the New Castle
Pomona Grange, an organization made
up of representative farmers and those
interested in agriculture from the entire
County. At one of its regular meetings
held last June the Pomona Grange offer
ed two prizes of $25. 90 each; one for the
student passing the best examination in
Mathematics, United States History,
Civil Government, and English, for ad-
mission to the course in Agriculture in
Delaware College; and the other to the
young woman student passing the best
eXar ination in the same subjects for
admission into the Course in Home
Economics in the Wemen's College of
Delaware
These examinations will be held in the
respective Colleges on Tuesday and We'd
nesday, September 18 and 10. The ex-
animation in Mathematics will take place
on Tuesday and those in English, U. S.
History, and Civil Government on the
followingday. Applicants for admission
to the Course in Agriculture who wish
to compete for the prize should notify
Dean E. L. Smith, Secretary to the Fa-
Guilty. Those entering the course in
Home Economics who wish to compete
for the Grange Prize should notify Dean
Winifred j. Robinson not later than
Saturday, September Is.

Senator Vests Eulogy On The Dog

"Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend man has in this world may
turn against him and become his ene-
my. His son and daughter that he has
reared with loving care may become
ungrateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to US, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name,
may become traitors to their faith.
The money that man has he may lose.
1t flies away from him when he may
need it most. Mans reputation may
be sacrificed in moment of i'll consid-
cred action. The people who are prone
to fall on their knees and do US honor
when success is with US may be the
first to throw the stone of malice when
failure settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
man may have in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one
that never proves ungrateful or treach-
erous, is the dog.

OYSTER SEASON OPENS

The oyster season opened Saturday
and gives promise of a big season in
the famous Maurice River Cove district
and off Bowers Beach down the Della
way Bay. Better prices for the sue
culent salts have spurred planters and
shippers TO make more careful and ex-
tensive preparations for dredging and
marketing. Samples taken from the
oyster grounds during the last week
show that most of the oysters are III
prime condition. The drought of the
summer helped the oysters, where it
hurt land crops, as there was no great
amount of fresh rain water flowing in
to the bay and the water over the beds
has remained quite salty, which the
planters consider a favorable condition.
Only part of the fleet of 300 oyster
schooners will start work on the dredg-
ing grounds Saturday, az most of the
planters will wait until cooler weather
makes the oyster trade brisk before
dredging extensively. By the last of
or early in October two train
loads of oysters day will be shipped
from Bivalve and Maurice River. :

low our example, and the money saved
used to do real good. l was requested

wishes remain.
Very truly yours,
