EXPERIMENT WITH WHITE
AND YELLOW CORN GROWING
MARKET EXCELLENT FOR DELA-
WAREANS WHO GROW SEED
Some Around Dover Say That Good
White Culled Seed Corn Will Bring
From $500 to S5 90 BusheI

The question is often asked whe-
ther the farmers should plant white
corn or yellow; and the reply is
sometimes made that white corn can
not be sold to an advantage There
are two sides to this question, At
certain seasons there is a demand
for white corn, especially in car lots
and then the price is equal to that of
yellow corn and sometimes even bet
ter. The fIinty corn that is used for
hominy is also wanted at times and
often this corn brings a price that is
considerably above the market. The
Delaware farmers should consider
another phase of the subject, and that
is the matter of growing corn for
seed. The State is admirably adap-
ted to corn growing, and the prize
winners in corn growing contests in
this State have no difficulty in selling
their crop for seed if it is we'll bred
and of a desirable variety. As a
hidlLC1 VI 4dCI bAC lIlOSb VI bAAC HLAAFo
have been taken by men who are grow
ing the Johnson County White. This
corn is about right for this climate,
as it natures in about 120 davs, yields
we'll and the ears are remarkably even
and snowy. The highest yield in
Delaware was about 128 bushels of
shelled corn per acre and the field of
ter or twelve acres averaged about
ITO bushels after the grain was thor
oughly dried out. Other yields have
been nearly as good One field near
Dover last year made at least 1900
bushels of dry shelled corn on thirteen
acres. Such corn. if well selected,
(like good Johnson County White). is
excellent seed corn. 1t will always
sell to the seedmen for more than the
market price, and if the farmer
wishes to Gull and shell it and adver-
tise it.. he can soon have a fine lot of
customers who are wiling to pay from
So to So per bushel for the seed.

PROSPECTS FOR BUMPER CROPS
Senator Orlando Harrison Says Apples
and Peaches Will Be Plentiful

State Senator Orlando Harrion, of
Berlin, Md, head of the great nurs-
cry firm Of Harrison Brothers, while
in Georgetown Thursday as a member
of the party that inspected the dupont
Boulevard, stated that prospects were
never better for large crops of both
fruit and general produce in lower
Delaware and Maryland. Senator
Harrison is in close touch with every
section of the Peninsula and knows
conditions as well as any man on the
Peninsula. In speaking of the pros
poets for strawberries, which crop is
just starting, Senator Harrison said: :
"While the strawberry acreage may
not be as large as in some previous
years the condition of the berries is
fine and l look for a much larger crop
than usual. We are especially pleased
with the prospect for peaches and
apples. The prospect at this time
indicate that both the peach and apple
crop will be twice as large as in for
mer years. This is very encouraging
to the growers, and the class of the
fruit should also be up to the stand
ard Senator Harrison said that
the lower Delaware and Maryland
farmers in this section are doing their
part as to increasing the production
of staple crops. 1t is his opinion
that the acreage of corn is twi:e as
large as usual in his particular
neighborhood He states that the
farmer realizes that much depends
on him in connection with the war
and is doing his "bit" to increase
production.

EFFORT TO INDUCE MORE
DELAWARE SHEEP RAISING
SCARCITY OF WOOL ABROAD AND
IN THIS COUNTRY FACE FAMINE
Delaware Fair Association to Show that
This State is Ideal for Sheep and
Mill Encourage Sheep Industry

In an effort to interest farmers in
this territory in the raising of more
sheep, not only becuase of the tre-
mendous rise in the price of mutton
but because of the pressing need for
more wool to be used in the manufac-
ture of blankets and clothing for our
soldiers, the delaware State Fair,
which is to be held September 3rd to
7th, is offering liberal premiums to
owners of pure-bred sheep of the lead
ing breeds. So much wool is to be
required in the making of uniforms,
socks, overcOats, blankets and other
parts of the army equipment, despite
the fact that the number of sheep in
this country has steadily decreased
since 1909, that it is feared a wool
famine will result. Sheep produc-
tion in many of the warning nations
which have been supplying this coun-
try with wool. has fallen off to such
an extent that it is difficult to buy
wool abroad. 1t was stated by a
noted authority recently that sheep
production in France has decreased
nearly forty per cent since the open
ing of the war. Although it is not
generally known, census figures show
that the average sheep has increased
in value over forty per cent in the
last year. On January 1st 1916, the
average value of a sheep in this coun-
try was S5. II. On January 1st
1917, the average value of a sheep
had scared to ST. ii. Sheep values
are still on the jump, and it is not
known how far they will go. Live
sheep are bringing from twelve to
thirteen cents a pound, and wool of
good quality is selling for over fifty
cents a pound. AS a food training
camp in the voluntary service of the
government, the Delaware State Fair
is attempting to assist in overcoming
this crisis by inducing leading breed
ers of sheep to bring their finest
animals for private sale to farmers in
this territory. A special appeal
has been issued to local breeders.
Sheep specialists belive that sheeE
can be grown at big profit in this
part Of the country, and every at
tempt will be made by the fair tC
induce local farmers to purchase
breeding stock. The Department O
Agriculture at Washington, Mindful
of the need for more sheep, approve
of the action of the fair.

FARMER RID 100 RATS IN BARN
Two Boys and a TERROR, Backed by
Men, Kill Many Lively Rodents

Two Boys and a TERROR, Backed by
Men, Kill Many Lively Rodents
Lewis A. Tyrell, who lives near
Bridgeville, held a "rat killing" at
his farm recently which netted excel
lent results. During the days cam
paign total of more than 100 full
grown rats were killed in addition to
hundreds of young ones. The real ex-
terminator as used by Mr.. Tyrell was
the combination of boy and a dog,
both of which proved very efficient.
Mr.. Tyrell asked his neighbor, Mr..
Simmons, to come to his farm and
bring his two boys and rat dog, and
they came accompanied by Harry
Dickerson. The men started to re-
move the floors from an old building,
while the boys and the dog attended
to the rat killing part. Many rats
escaped to fodder stacks for refuge,
but the stacks were moved and the
pests hunted to their deaths. Mr..
Tyrell has about 800 young chickens
close to where the rats were found.
and this week will have many more
chicks as a result of his work. The
colony Of rats had destroyed many
bushels of corn, now worth 81. 80 per
bushel, and the saving from this
source alone will more than pay fol-
the time used in hunting out tbs
rodents.

FISHING ON EASTERN SHORE
Pound Owners Reaping Rich Harvest
at Ocean City, Md, Recently

Pound Owners Reaping Rich Harvest
at Ocean City, Nd, Recently
Sturgeon fishing on the Atlantic
coast this season seems better than
for years past. Several days ago a
sturgeon weighing more than 300
pounds, was caught amer Chincoteague
Island. The fish, together with the
roe. which is very valuable, netted
the fisherman $3.50. Fishing along
the coast by the various fish companies
is more successful this season than for a
long time, and the prices obtained
for the various kinds Of fish are the
highest that have been received for
years. AS many as twenty carloads
of fish are being shipped from Ocean
City, Mo-, alone in one day, and trout,
which are the most plentiful of any
of the fish caught at Ocean City, are
bringing fine returns to pound owners.
The high prices which all kinds of
food now command, is the reason for
the higher prices being paid for fish
in the larger cities. There are eight
fishing companies at Ocean City, anC
the present prices and large catches
are enabling the owners to lay aside
a snug sum of money for a rainy day
