ONE MAN PLOW AND HARROW
With Aid of Tractor Farmers Cut
Down Cost of Operation

WAth <1Au VI AEdClOE Farmers Cuii
Down Cost of Operation
With farm labor so scarce that
even an offer of SIS day and board
fails to draw help to assist in plant
ing the crops, several farmers have
partly solved the labor shortage by
running tractor themselves and
having harrow drawn by the trac-
tor, thus doing the plowing and har-
rowing as each trip across the field is
made. This plan also reduces the
cost of labor, only one man being
needed to operate both machines. It
was first adopted by George Daniels,
OF near Townsend, who is one of the
most progressive farmers in lower
New Castle county, and the success
full experiment by Mr.. Daniels has
caused more than a score of other
farmers in that neighborhood to
adopt the same plan. They report
that the work is done in highly sue
cessful manner at greatly reduced
cost.

Good Fertilizer and Fine for Fatten-
ing Pigs in Sussex County
AS crimson clover has been claimed
to have opened the fertility of lower
Delaware soil to the growing of fruits
and vegetables, now soy beans are ex-
pected to complete the plan according
to the arrangements of the Federal
Farm Bureau. Not only will SOW
beans enrich the soil but they will
plant in with corn, adding another
crop during the season for the farm
ers. This summer demonstrations in
growing soy beans for seed, sileage
and hogging down will be given at
Seaford, Georgetown, Milford, Green
wood, Milton, Lewes and Selbyville.
Not only is the crop claimed to
be a money maker and soil.enricher
but it is also claimed to be a crop
which will help solve the labor prob
lem as it can be harvested by turning
hogs into the field and allowing them
to harvest it, the crop to be sold in
the shape of fat porkers. Among the
farmers who have tried the crop sue
cessfully is Marvel Rogers, near
Georgetown, who last year cleared
more than $4,000 from his son beans.
Rogers will assist in the practical
demonstrations.

''SCRATCH MY BACK"
 AT COLUMBIA TO-DAY

None of the characters in Scratch My Back" playing at Mauk's Colum- bia theater, today and tonight, behave quite like you expect them to. There is hero who performs noble deeds of valor on behalf of the Lady-in- distress-and gets nothing for his pains but a "thank-you" and a grate full smile. There is a william who in hales spaghetti from a tin pot and wears a paper dicky for a shirt-he surrenders to the hero at the insig- nificant price of a whacked shin and a poke in the ribs. There is a Jealous Husband who storms and raves like most J. HIS debut turns out to be the best sort of guy in the world, perhaps a darned sight better than the hero. And there is a Lady-in- distress who. for the first time in the annals of literature. drama or movia, is sensible enough to refuse an invi- tation to visit mans rooms-there- by running a perfectly good situation. We warn you not to come to see Scratch My Back" if you expect the usual screen comedy. But if you like new, different things. you'll LOVE this innovation in modern comedy drama Rupert Hughes Scratch My Back 1 is a Goldwyn Picture.

Three hundred years ago today. on December 20. 1920. 41 families, includ- ing 1o2 persons. set foot on the new world after a voyage of 63 days across the Atlantic from Leyden, Holland, where they had formed a congregation. With them they brought a new ideal of Government, and a higher concept of political and religious independence than had been known in the world around them Out of their privations and sufferings was Co be hewed an ethical foundation of government which. long after. was to become that nf the United States of America, con- ceive6 in the principle that all men are created equal and have certain inalien- able rights.
 The coming Of these pilgrims-for they were pilgrims in search of a spot on earth where they might rear a church without a bishop and a state without a king-will be celebrated in Phoenix today in an extensive program which will include a parade, addresses and public gatherings. The celebration of the tercentenary has been under the direction of a committee headed by the Rev. c. n. Noakum, pastor of the First CcnErcgational church. assisted by various Of the civic and other associa- tions of tho city.
