ornsmentation, requires long peflod
of time. It is proposed to plant by the
sides of all State highways rows Oh
trees of sort to make Delaware's
roads characteristic" in the words OF
Mr. Lancaster. Just what sort OF
trees will be chosen Mr.. Lancaster
has not said. He is studying condi-
tions. he declares, and does not wish
to make any advance report. The sort
Of trees chosen, however, will be OF
the ''noble" variety, something to give
dignity to the highway and beauty to
the landscape. 49,
In addition, shrubs will also prob
ablv be chosen for planting along the
highway to hide unsightly objects 1t
is not intended simply to plant rows
of trees, but to adapt shrubbery ana
trees to the surroundings. In cases
where the roads run through the coun-
trv districts with pretty farms on both
sides, it probably will not be neces-
sary to do anything at all to the road
side. In other cases it may be neces-
sary to cooperate with nature or with
land owners to some extent. In other
cases as where the highway runs near
some unsightly buildings, trees ana
shrubs may be employed to hide these
sights. As in his previous work, ne
will utilize all the natural beauties OF
the landscape.

Rhodes Scholarship to be
Awarded in November

In reorganizing after the war the
Rhodes Scholarship for Oxford Uni
verslty, England, the Delaware Com
mlttee of Selection is composed of
President Samuel C. Mitchell. Chair
man Delaware College, Newark, Del. ;
II. X. lsaacs, Esq, Secretary Della
ware and Exeter, '05; Ford Building,
Wilmington; c. D. Nfahaffie, ESQ,

partment of the Interior, Washington,

and Trinity, '10) 1925 dupont Build
ing, Wilmington; w. Prickett, ESQ.,,
delaware and Trinity, '15), 1907, w.
l4th street, Wilmington, Del. 1t will
be observed that the Oxford authori-
ties have in Delaware, as in all the
other states, placed ex-Rhoades schol-
ars upon the committee and vested the
Craftsmanship in the President of the
State college or university. There is
one man to be appointed from Della
ware in November who will take up
his residence at Oxford, England, Jan
uary, 1920. The Rhodes Scholarship
pays $500 year and continues for
three years. 1t is the greatest prize
open. to students in the English speak
ing world. Delaware has been not
ably fortunate in the men who have
represented her at Oxford on this
Scholarship. The purpose of Cecil
Rhodes in establishing this Scholar
snip was to knit the English speaking
people of the world together through
the friendship formed by young men
at Oxford University. The close SYM
pathy and cooperation between Eng
land and America at this moment as
the result of their united efforts in
winning the war is the fulfillment of
Mr.. Rhodes desire.
The Delaware Committee will meet
on November l, at II o'clock at the
Hotel Dupont, Wilmington, for the
selection of the candidates for the
Scholarship. All applications for the
Rhodes Scholarship should be made
to H. B. Isaacs, Esq, Ford Building,
Wilmington, Delaware.

WHEAT SURVEY OF
STATE IS COMPLETED
List of Those Having Good
Seed Wheat Available
Soon

The Three County Farm Bureaus
are each making a survey of the seed
wheat situation in their respective
counties. Cards have been mailed out
to members of the county farm bur-
eaus, asking each farmer to list his
wants, if he has to buy seed wheat,
and to list any good seed wheat which
he may have for sale. Returns receiv-
ed from Sussex county so far list 5000
bushels of seed wheat for sale by
members of the farm bureau. The
prices asked range from $2.75 to $500
per bushel. The varieties are princi-
pally of the wheats, such as Gypsy,
Red Wonder and Miracle. These var
ieties in numerous tests at Delaware
College have been good yielders of
wheat Of good quality. The returns
of the survey have not yet been tabu-
lated for Kent and New Castle coun-
ties, but it is expected that the re-
quests for seed in this county will ex-
ceed the supply of undamaged wheat.
While much of the wheat in New Cas-
tie county was stacked or stored in
barns, yet larger part of the crop
has been in all the rains, which have
damaged the wheat, already of poor
quality, from 20 to so per cent. Much
of the wheat grown this year was of
poor quality.
Most of the smooth wheats have not
only yielded poorly but the quality is
also much below that of the bearded
varieties this year. Few of the
smooth varieties grown in Delaware
are fit for seed purposes and some of
these varieties which have been popu-
lar in certain communities of New
Castle county should be discarded al
together.
The complete lists of seed wheat
wanted or for sale in the state, COM
piled by counties, will soon be avail
able. A copy of this list will be mail
ed to the banks, to the County Agents
and the Community Committeeman
on Soils and Crops.
