MRS. DU POINT GIVES MEDALS TO FAIR

Mrs. Alfred l. DUPONT has given the
Delaware State Fair two gold medals
for competition in the 1918 fair.
Ten years ago Mrs. dupont gave a
medal for the best sewing exhibit
made by a child and this is one of the
important features of the children's
department each year. Five years
ago Mrs. dupont, feeling that the in
terest in home bread-making should
be stimulated offered a medal for the
best loaf of wheat bread This medal
has produced a great deal of compeu-
tiOn and given an impetus to this sec
ton, which no other prize has ever
done. This year, however, Mrs.
DUPONT, who has been most actively
engaged in the nationwide plans for
conservation of the countrys food
stuffs, has decided that the bread
medal should be given for war bread,
and the Fair Association has been
authorized to make this announcement.
Mrs. DUPONT will give the bread medal
for war bread only and no wheat bread
will be accepted in the competition.
Each exhibitor will be asked to state
the exact quantity Of each kind Of
wheat substitute which she uses in the
formula from which her bread was
made.
The sewing medal for the children's
will be given as usual.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS

General A. r. Benson. president of the
State Board of Agriculture, states that
landlords in different parts of the
State are readjusting their relations
to the tenant, some Of them by pur-
chasing more than one-half of the fer
tilizers and seed. and others giving
more than the usual share Of the
crops. This is done because the ten
ant is required to furnish all the labor
necessary in producing the crops and
wages are much higher this year than
ever before, thus bringing an unusual
burden upon the tenant. while no ad-
ditional cost has been placed on the
landowner except the increased cost
Of seeds and fertilizers.
AS a patriotic duty it was thought
that the landlords everywhere would
be willing to readjust these matters
so that the tenant shall receive fair
share of the results Of his labor on the
farm.

TRACTOR PLOW DEMONSTRATION

The committee on the Tractor Dem
onstration to be held by the Kent
County Farm Bureau have set the
date OF the demonstration for April
| 16, II and Is. The place selected for
this is a thirty-fve acre field on the
farm tenanted by Mr. Joshua Bishop
and is located about One-half mile
west of Dover on the HazlettYille road.
Near this field are large orchards on
the farms belonging to Mr.. Henry
Ridgely and Mr.. Walker Mifflin, which
will be used to demonstrate plOwing
and narrowing orchard land with trac-
tors.
Mr.. NJ. o. Pence, who is chairman Of
the committee, reports that the fol-
lowing tractors are promised, pro-
viding they can be shipped here in
time:
The International tractors-two ma
chimes Charles Hardesty Dover.
The Cleveland Caterpillar. by the
Standard Motor Co.. Of Salisbury. Nd
The Waterloo Boy by ]. T. SchOrch,
of Philadelphia
The Emerson Birmingham tractor.

The KnickerbOcker. by Hercules
Motor Co.. of Wilmington.
The FOrm-a-Tractor. by Mr.. Drys
dale, Of Dover.
Possibly the Heider and the Huber

This will be the first large tractor
demonstration held in Delaware and
it is expected that large number of
farmers will attend from various parts
of the State There are many who
desire to buy tractor but do not know
what kind they would prefer. This
will be an excellent chance to see the
tractors work in the field and in the
orchard and do competive plowing
and narrowing.
The field for the demonstration is
located about one-half mile from the
Dover Station. so those who come by
train will find it within easy walking
distance.

to overfiOwing last Friday evening
when Lieutenant Sutton, a British Off

Milford. The band from Fort dupont
also aided in drawing a large crowd.
Long before the hour set for the be-
ginning Of the addresses the ArmOry

the speaking started it is estimated
that fully five hundred persons were
outside the doors trying to gain ad-
mission. A man who has had exper-
ience in estimating the size OF crowds
stated that fully one thousand per-
sons we're turned away from the meet
ing because the house was filled. Fully
that number Of people were in the

TEST SEED CORN

The tests Of seed corn made by
Prof. Grantham show that there is
considerable poor seed corn in the
State this year. The writer took a
number OF samples from seed corn
that looked apparently of good ger
mination and found that in some cases
they ran as low as 65 per cent which
was fit for seed. The extremely cold
winter has ruined the termination Of
much of the corn which was put in the
crib ii amp condition. Some Of the
corn dch to all appearances looks
gooT s not testing out well so to be
or ie safe side it will be well to make
preliminary test. 1t takes so little
time to be assured of having good seed
corn for planting that there will be
no excuse for any farmer planting
seed that will not give q good stand

VEHICLES MUST DISPLAY LIGHTS

The measure which has had the sup
port Of automobilists and others for
years requiring lights to be displayed
on all vehicles travelling the roads at
night has at last been passed by both
houses of the Maryland Assembly.
Having passed the House, it came up
under special order in the Senate and
precipitated one of the bitterest bat
ties fought there this session, finally
passing the upper house IS to 9. and is
now a law.
Vehicles of every sort are required
to display lights by this bill, and it
was cOntended by those who supported
it, will tend to lessen the number Of
accidents on the roads. Osborne I.
Yellott, counsel to the Automobile
Club of Maryland. said that he was de-
lighted and that he felt that every
motorist in the State would share his
pleasure over the passage Of the bill.
