In sad but loving remembrance of
Cornelius Conard, who departed this
life, Jan. 13.h, 1916:
Tenderly smooth the silver tresses.
Back from the brow as white as

Fold the hands on the silent bosom
Dead! O, God; and we loved him so.

flushed is the voice Of gentle tone;
Down through the vale Of gloom and

Father, our dear, has gone to his

More and Better Dairy Stock

The increase cost Of butter and a
demand that it has been i..loossibe for
them to supply has caused many farm
ers in lower Delaware to devote more
time and work to the raising of dairy
stock. Wherever a creamery has been
started it has paid big percentage on
the investment and as a consequence
more farmers are becoming interested
AMI are increasing their stock rather
selling off the calves.

WHERE CORN GROWS
St. Georges Hundred Banner Section
of Delaware
FAR MERS WANT 1918 SHOW

A delegation of farmers from Middle-
town attended the annual session OF the
Delaware Corn Growers Association,
and lncdently made strong effort to
have the 1918 session held in this town
Middletown is the most logical place
in the county to hold the session, as
each year since the organization of the
association, the state prize of $500 has
been won by Alonzo Whittock, with
James I Shallcross close second. Mr..
Shallcross this year won the county
prize.
Mr.. Whittock' S yield this year for the
state prize was 116 bushels per acre,
with MIR. Shalcross Little more than
100 bushels per acre. Mr.. Shallcross
each year for the past three years has
sold on an average of 1880 bushels OF
seed corn, at prices ranging from 81. 5o
to So a bushel, and has contract with
one seed firm for !, 100 bushels and
deal on for 1000 bushels with another
firm.
Probably two thirds of the corn
raised in Delaware is grown IN New
Castle county, and the section conprs-
ing St. Georges hundred is the leading
section. The corn crop OF the state
this year may be, if prices maintain, be
worth six or seven millions of dollags
In 1914 it was worth Sl,397, 600.
The farmers Of this section have III
nine years made rapid strides IN the
growing of corn, due to the greater part
to the interest stimulated by the Della
ware Corn Gro Ners' Association.
The estimate acreage Of corn grown
in Delaware in 1914 was 1877, 900 acres,
and the object of the association was tc
increase the yield at least one bushe
per acre, and if the improvement IN
other parts of the state are as noticeable
as they are in St. Georges hundred, the
increase is far above that.
