DAMAGING VINE AT BLACKBIRD
Is a Fine Yellow Creeper Without
Roots and Is Damaging Clover.

Blackbird, July 27.-Farmers in
this section are much concerned re-
garding the appearance of the little
yellow vine known as Saint Johns
worth. 1t grows to the thickness of
heavy sewing cotton, spreads quickly
over field, clinging to all kinds of
growth for nOurishment, has no roots
and grows on plants like mistletoe OH
gum trees 1t wraps itself around
weeds or any vegetable growth that
comes in its way, after the fashion of
snake, and thus squeezes the life
out Of plants. This vine was noticed
first two years ago by local growers
in tomato patches after it had taken
tire life out of many of their largest
tomato plants. Now it can be found
In almost any field in this section and
appears to be spreading rapidly, es-
pecially in the young clover fields.
Many farmers fear that it will iniure
their hay for next season. The odd
growth of this vine has baffed MANY
agnculturists in this vicinity as no
one has been able to find anv seed
or any place where it takes root in
the ground. Older farmers think the
vine was brought to this section in
baled hay, shipped to local dealers
from distant points to be used in
stead OF the homegrown hay, which
had been scarce for many years. The
hay crop this year, however, is heavy
and will relieve the shortage.

Some MiddletOwn Farms Yield 39

As the wheat crop up country is be-
ing threshed the farmers are more and
more surprised at the unusually large
yield. This especially applies to the
farms about Middletown and adjacent
territory. Charles Dukes, a tenant on
the Daniel Corbett farm at Odessa.
who finished threshing a day or two
ago, report 1000 bushels as the yield
OF SO acres. Julian G. Cleaver at
MlddletOwn has threshed 1920 BUSH
els from a 40-acre field an average of
50 bushels. Ernest Ratledge has har-
vested a crop that threshed out SO
bushels to the acre and Howard Rat
ledge, also of Middletown, got %
bushels an acre from his wheat field.
Michael Keegan has threshed about
1000 bushels from 100 acres. Chas.
DerricksOn threshed 80 bushels per
acre from one field and SO from an
other. Wright oCppage averaged
mare than 25 bushels per acre.
1t is the opinion of farmers of New
Castle county that the yield of wheat

the top figure of 25 bushels to the
acre which is much above the aver
age OF the State and the country.

R. R. SHOP TO ACCEPT AWARD
Wilmington RailrOaders Expected to
Give 1t Their Approval

Despite some grumbling in certain
quarters, it is generally predicted in
Wilmington that the local railroad
workers will vote in favor of accept
ing the wage award made by the Fed
eral Railroad Labor Board.
"On the WHOLE" said one of the
railroad men, wilmington railroad
men are favorably impressed with
the award. Of course, there are some
few to find fault with it. There are
always objectOrs, you, know. No
award or decision is possible, probab-
ly, that would be favorably received
everywhere. l have been connected
with the brOtherhoods for more than
20 years and know pretty we'll the
sentiments of men, and l am looking
for a ratification of the award"
In regard to the lay-off of several
hundred men in Wilmington by the
Pennsylvania company, it is not at all
probable that the brotherhoods will
take any cOgnizance of the matter
The company is retrenching and is
letting out those who were latest TAX

SATURDAY STORM IN SMYRNA

The severe electric storm which III,

hardly effected Smyrna. There was
some sharp flashes of lightning and
heavy peals of thunder, but scarcely
any rain. Dover, twelve miles below
suffered worse. The rain was heavy
and the electric storm severe. The
town lights were put out of commits
sion several times during the storm
and many telephones rendered useless
for awhile. At Wilmington the storm
was vertible cyclone. Trees wero
uprOOted and blown down, poles and
wires wrecked, roofs blown off and
other damage done. One of the freaks
OF the strong wind was an automo-
bile, apparently with wheels locked
which had been standing on Fourth
street at Shipley, was driven bv the
wind east along Fourth street, and
across Market, until it finally lodged
against the curbing and thus pre-
vented it from going through the glass
windows in the front of the Smith

when it comes to this Clayton has as

clayton now has water, electric lights

score. The second half saw the Fresh.
men strengthened by members of the
Varsity squad and the high schoolers
lost heart. Better team and pass
work was shown by the losers than
by the winners; beef and goal accur-
acy proving the winning combination.
Eaton and Chase led the scoring for
the losers, Eaton caging two field
goals and Chase grabbing four
r. Kellum led the scoring for the
college five, dropping five through the
netting. Sellers and Henderson &C.
counted for four each.

Association Player
Limit Is Increased;
Schedule Considered
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Jan. 16-Club owners of
the American association resumed
their adjourned meeting here today
with the adoption of a schedule for
the 1920 season as the chief business
up for consideration. President Hick-
ey was reelected at the session yes
terday and the player limit was
increased from 16 to 10 men exclusive
Of a manager. President Hickeys new
term will be for three years.
Although some of the club owners
favored the adoption of a 1853 game
schedule, the majority, it was believed
would vote for 1874 game schedule,
opening the season on April IA and
closing about Sept. 81 or %. Several
tentative drafts were presented at the
meeting yesterday but the pressure OF
other business prevented the club
owners from giving serious consider
alton to them.
"The major leagues have declared
in favor Of a 154 game schedule" Pres
ident Hickey said. land I think II
would be a mistake to adopt a 16s
game program. 1t would result in toe
many double-headers If postponement:
were necessary at the opening of the
season because Of inclement weather
l shall urge the adoption Of a 154 game
season"

When William M. Richardson Of
Philadelphia broke into the baseball
lmelight by purchasing with Clark
Griffith, the Washington club, he simp-
ly added another chapter to an inter-
esting career. Being baseball mo-
gull now, Richardson can break into
this little feature.
He began life-as the biographers
say-by getting job as office boy in
a grain elevator. He served his time
checking cars and "sampling" grain
in railroad yards and In climbing into
the holds Of ocean liners to look over
the grain. When the first opportunity
came along he became interested fl
nancially In the grain business and
now controls one of the big grain
export companies of the country. He
has money in other enterprises also.
He Is the kind of chap who still
blows down to the office at 8 a. M,
and Is greeted by everybody as
BILLY" Baseball has been his chief
hobby so it was only natural he should
break into the mogulling business.
He looks good to the fans who know
him.

HIGH SCHOOL FANS
HAVE HOPES FOR WIN

The Richmond high school basket
ball team will enter tonight's scrap
with Muncie determined to make the
old proverb ''the third time Is the
charm" hold good. Two times has the
high school team played championship
games and two times lost.
The team will have a good oppor-
tunity to accomplish this end, as
dopesters agree Muncie is weaker than
either Huntington or Spiceland, and
Richmond will present a more formid-
able offensive than displayed in prev
ious contests.
Leroy Harding, who made the floor
guard position on the Varsity, has quit
the squad. He will attend high school
only half time, and is thereby not
eligible for play. Wilson, 1876 pound
sophomore at high school, has been
put in the position, and despite his
lack Of weight, will make valuable
player.
DoIIlns Will Cover Floor.
1t is planned to have Dollins drop
back for the guard position after the
tipoff and cover the floor. Harkins,
sub-forward, will be out of the game
for at least a week on account of in.
iuries received. Smith and Motley
have been put as subs on the first
string squad. Motley and Loehr are
having hot scrap for forward posi-
ton and both are classed as Varsity
, members.
Plans are being made in high school
for at least 200 rooters to accompany
the team to Newcastle next Friday.
| Although the Green and White has the
best team turned out in several sea-
sons, local fans believe Richmond has
rounded into an aggregation capable of
sustaining R. H. S. superiority over
Newcastle.
Investigations are that only one
! school was dissatisfied with treatment
accorded at last springs tournament.
Other school officials report to have
been we'll pleased with the treatment
by Richmond and expressed disap.
