JOttings of Interest
from
University of Delaware

University of Delaware football
season will end Saturday of this week
when the Blue and Gold will play
their old rivals, the Pennsylvania Mil
itary College eleven, of Chester, Pa,
on Harlan Field, Wilmington. This
game was transferred to Wilmington,
because of a demand on the part of
a large number of alumnus and
friends of the university that one of
the home games be played in Whining
ton. With two bands on hand and the
prospects of one of, if not the largest,
crowd that has ever watched Della
ware team play the day promises to
be a great occasion for the Blue and
Gold.
The football season has been an in
and out one from the Delaware stand
point The team started out by losing
the first three games played to Penn,
Muhlenburg and Johns Hopkins.
About this time Coach Derby made
some changes on the team that had a
wonderful effect and produced win
ming combination. The next four
games with New York "Aggies," Hay
erford, Washington and Western
Maryland, and were all victories, while
the eighth game with Lafayette last
Saturday was another defeat. The
team has now won four and lost four
and is anxious to capture the P. M.
G. contest to break ahead of the sea-
son in the number of wins. The addi-
tion of Jackson, freshman from Do
yer, to the backfield has greatly
strengthened Delaware in offense.
Coach Shipley is already working
with the basketball candidates, al
though the intercollegiate season
will not open at Newark until after
the first of the year. A squad of
about so candidates are out for the
team, many of them being freshmen.
While the basketball schedule is not
entirely completed it will become one
of the hardest that Delaware team
has ever undertaken. Games have
been arranged with both the Army
and Navy teams and also with Penn
and Princeton. All four to be played |
away. Some of the home games will |
be with Swarthmore, New York Gag
gies," st. Johns of Annapolis, Muh-
lenburg and Washington College. The
Delaware season will open at home
on January 12 with Albright as oppo-
nents. The first game will be with
West Point at West Point on Jan

RAKE UP THE GARDEN
AND BURN THE TRASH

Much of the success of next years
garden depends on cleaning up the
trash left from this years crops, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Insects and disease spores
live over the winter in stalks, vines,
and stubble. Weeds and vegetable de-
bris should be raked into piles and
burned or carried off as soon as it is
convenient to do so. Pieces of cab
bage, carrots, potatoes, and other
vegetables which have been left on
the ground in the harvest should be
raked up and destroyed to avoid at
tracing insects and rabbits. The rab-
bits tempted by these titbits may re-
main to bark the fruit trees and dam
age bushes. Time given to this work
at a period of year when other mat
ters are not pressing will be well re-
paid in the spring and summer.

Secretary Laying Competitions


On Tuesday at daylight, November 1,
began the Eleventh Philadelphia North
American International Egg Laying
Competition at Milford. Five hundred
birds, in lots of five to a house 6xSXS,
brought together from England, Canada
and these American states, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio,
Washington, Texas and New York, began
a S65-day test to prove the accuracy
with which their owners bred them for
egg production, this breeding and mat
ing to also prove the value of a given
strain to lay above the commercial egg
farm average of $50 eggs per hen per
year. The test will end at sundown, Oc-
tober 81, 1922.
By far a greater variety of fowl has
been entered than in any preceding year.
This is not only true of American en-
tries, but of those from England, the list
from that country including the follow
ing: White Leghorns, Buff Orpingtons,
White Wyandottes and Rhode Island
Reds. The American list contains Barr
ed, White and Columbian Rocks, White
Wyandottes, Single and Rose Comb
Rhode island Whites, Buff Orpingtons,
Jersey Black Giants, Black Minorcas,
Oregons, Ancoras, Single and Rose Comb
Brown Leghorns, Black Leghorns and
White Leghorns, sixteen in all, inclusive
of the pen of Wyandottes from Canada.

AROUND THE WORLD
IN EIGHT LAUGHS

All the world likes good humor no
matter where you chance to roam.
Everyone wants to be cheerful and
healthful, here or far away from
home. Papers all print jolly jokes,
jingles and other kinds of lively fun.
This humOr is penned by scores of
column conductors who poetize, joke
and pun. 1t is not in the magazines
and newspapers alone that good press
wit is seen; now for over three years
the Topics of the Day Films have
shown it on the screen. You can see
this happy real at nearly every good
film show; in the hamlet, town and
city-in fact, where'er you go. Jules

NOTES

Within a radius of twenty miles of the
very active, enterprising and wide-awake
town of Milford, there are hundreds of
poultrymen who are steadily absorbing
the lessons that are taught by egg-laying
competitions, who are embracing the
modernity of poultry culture for profit.
Ten years ago little thought was given
the 200-egg hen as flock production
standard-2 200-egg hens were few and far
between; today we are striving for the
SOO-egg hen, not because the 2OO-egg
hen is here, but because the 343-egg hen
has come into being.
Breeding males are procurable now
from breeders who are willing to sell
birds that have been bred from high
producing females and that will main
tain their reputation. Buy now before
the flock of males is sold out and avoid
the necessity of taking whatever you can
get from any source next spring.
One big factor in the chicken business
is stamina-frst, get the healthy hen,
and the 20O-egg flock is easy
