WHEATCROP TSHORT
Some Farmers Have Threshed And
The Yield is Discouraging
THE PRICE IS ALSO VERY LOW

The 1921 crop of wheat is all cut,
| and the few farmers who thrash early
have begun that work. Many of them
are stacking their crop and will thresh
later in the season. The crop is prov
ing great disappointment as far as the
yield is concerned.
On some of the best land on 1.-The
Levels" considered the best wheat land
in this section, the yield in some in
stances where threshing has been COM
pleted is as. low as ten bushels to the
acre. On many farms it will be much
lower. In the neighborhood of Ceciton
some crops have been threshed that
have turned out as low as five bushels
to the acre. The cause for the light yield
is said to be due to the "fly," an insect
which attacks the growing wheat in the
autumn, the eggs are laid at the base
of the stem, and if not killed off by the
cold weather mature in the spring and
eat off many of the stems just above
the ground. Many of the farmers
blame the late freezing weather of
April, which followed the extreme hot
weather of March for the damage to
the crop. Whatever may be the cause
of the damage, 1t is an absolute fact
that there is much less than one-half
crop of wheat in this community.
Of 1uha -,
also less than one-half of the price at
this time last year, and with half crop
here and at one-half the price, the
farmers will suffer. The present crop
of wheat is the most expensive ever
grown here. Fertilizers were higher
than ever when the crop was sowed last
autumn, and for labor, many farmers
paid as high as S. day for putting in
the crop. Growers are discouraged.
In Kent county, Md, thousands of
acres of wheat were ruined by the hail
storm in May, and it is a common sight
to ride past hundreds of acres where
not even q head of wheat can be seen.
The drought which had existed over
this community for more than 6 weeks,
during which time not drop of rain
fell, was broken on Sunday morning by
light fall of rain. 1t is thought that
the rain came in time to save the corn,
but many of the earlier crops are
ruined.
Early potatoes will be almost an abso-
lutte failure, as well as lima beans. All
gardens about the town have burned
up. The corn was whiting but will
probably grow on and make crop.

Second State in Vote Ratio

Delaware ranked second on the list
of the highest number of voters as
compared with the population in the
election last November Out of every
100 of population, AZ Delawareans went
to the polls and voted, according to
statistics compiled by the Go vernment
Indiana is first on the list, with 43;
South Carolina is last with only voters
to every 100 of population. Maryland
is 22d on the list, number 20; New
Jersey is oath, with the same number;
while Pennsylvania ranks down with
the Southern State, as Sc with 2l. The
extent of disfranchisement in the
South is sho xn by the fact that Texas,
Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and
South Carolina do not reach even double
figures.
AS stated in The Star several weeks
ago, 5000 citizens of Wilmington
eligible to vote, did not take the trouble
to register. In all, in this city, includ
ing unnaturalized foreigners and illit-
crates, 10, 1T eligibles did not register.

Farm Sold

"Silver Lake Grange" a tract of
ninety-two acres and on it colonial
home, at Green Spring, has been sold
by the owner, Harry Austin, to G. M.
Watkins, of Wilmington. The price
paid was S1O.5 500, the deal being made
through Mundy & Company.
The sale of this property recalls to
the older residents the political and
social functions held there before and
during the Civil War. At that time the
Lore family owned tie property and
held it for three-quarters of the last
century. The mother of the late Chief
Justice Charles B. Lore was born in the
old home still standing.
Mr.. Watkins expects to move on the
property, which is now tenanted by
Harry L. Davis, about August 1. He
will engage in hog and poultry raising.

SEVERE ELECTRIC STORM

The prolonged drought which held
this State in its grip for the past six
weeks was thoroughly broken Wednes-
day night when a terrific wind, rain and
electrical storm swept over large part
of the State.
Early in the evening the clouds began
to gather and the muttering of thunder
was almost incessant. About 8 o'clock
the storm broke in a perfect fury in
the Middletown section, and the rain
fell in torrents driven by high wind
The lightning flashed in an almost con-
tinuous blaze of light and many deafen-
ing detonations shook the earth.
The fire whistle blew shortly after
the storm begun, when it was reported
that the large barn on the Kumpel
farm, on the road leading from Nc
Donough to Port Penn, had been struck
by lightning. The firemen responded
promptly, but two large buildings and
great quantity Of hay were quickly
consumed.
Cn the farm Of Eugene Minner,
near Old St. Anne's Church, stack of
wheat was struck by lightning and
totally destroyed.
The electric display was one of gran
.deur, even in its terrific ferceness.
Electric wires were affected and the
lights about the town also showed the
effect of the fluid and alternately
frightened and dimmed.
The heavy downpour cooled the at.
mosphere to great extent and shook
the mercury down to the low point OF
the day, 70 degrees.
