"The reported yield of sc bushels
of wheat to the acre., says the Every
Evening, con the farm of Richard C
McMullin, near Red Lion, furnishes
another testimonial of the fertility of
the soil in that section of Delaware,
which is indeed unsurpassed in this
country. The old Bohemia Manor
strip, extending through the lower
part of this county, is a veritable
Garden of Eden, and its splendid soil
produces astonishingly we'll when un-
der such capable direction as that of
R. Lee Richards, tenant of the prop
erty. A total of 1857 bushels of
wheat from So acres-the entire tract
or almost 80 bushels to the acre, is
an achievement of which any farmer
may we'll be proud, when it is con-
sidered the average yield of the entire
country is less than Is bushels to the
acre. This includes the fields in the
famous wheat belts of the West and
the Northwest.
"Some question has been raised if
the production of Mr.. McMullin's farm
is not the largest amount grown in
this State-if it is not a record yield.
1t possibly might be for such an ex-
tensive tract, but it is recalled that
several years ago, on the farm of Will
liam Virden, near Lewes, 10 acres of
wheat produced $40 bushels, an aver
age of 81 bushels to the acre. These
figures, it is recalled, were questioned
because they were so much in excess
of the usual output of wheat fields
and the then governor, Ebe w. Tun-
nell, of Lewes, confirmed the report
after viewing the field and taking the
measure of the grain. This crop wa:
produced under exceptionally favor
able conditions and in the number o.
acres was less than a fifth of the Nc
Mullin area. There is also on recorC
a crop of "A bushels of wheat to tht
acre, produced on farm on the sam,
Bohemia Manor strip, directly afte
the Civil War, on one of the Cummin
farms, near Smyrna. Also, a repor
of almost 40 bushels returned NOR
recently from a farm near Odessa.
"From Kent county, Nd, on a farr
on the other end of the Bohemi
Manor, comes a report of a whea
yield of 81 bushels to the acre. Thes
figures largely sustain the claim tn:
this section has the finest land in IL
world.
"Even though there may have bee
figures in Delaware in excess of
or even sc bushels of wheat-the Ia
ter the yield of a portion of Mr.. M
Mullins tract-it is doubtful if the
is on record in the State So acres tn
have exceeded the yield of the R
Lion farm; and if there should be, it
honor enough for any farmer to pl
duce 80 bushels, instead of Is and
achievement bespeaks good farmi
as well as good soil.
at is interesting to know the vi
off the So acres of the McMullin ia
would have sold for almost S.,
three years ago, whereas today
market value is less than $1,700"

When such vessels send small boats

the cargo having been shipped out of
the Bahamas. The schooner had two

ERAL GRAND JURY

Mr.. and Mrs. B. w. Grim, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. B. Undertake, George
Giasscock, John A. Marshall and
Mrs. Annie Estes, all residents of
Summit Point, were summoned to
give testimony before the Federal
Grand Jury in session in Wheeling
last week. They were to give testi-
mony concerning the operations of a
stranger who appeared at Summit
Point one day last summer and de-
frauded several of the merchants
there out of an exorbitant price for
an account book wherein to keen a
record of their sales.
The stranger told the merchants
approached by him that all of them
had violated the law in not keeping
record of their sales in a book
prescribed by law. He said the fine
Tor such violation was one hundred
dollars but that he would remit the
nne for any one who would paw him
ten dollars cash for the book. Prac-
tlcally every merchant in the place
bought the book.
1t soon developed that the visiting
book agent was an imposter, his ar.
rest following in some other part of
the state shortly after his visit to
Summit Point. Every one of his
Summit Point customers are willing
that he spend long term at hard
labor. =

BLUE RIDGE HUNT TO HOLD
MEET.

Those responsible for the Fall
Race Meet of The Blue Ridge Hunt
to be held at The Annfeld Farm of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Bell Watkins,
midway between Berryville and Mill
wood, on Saturday, October 18th,
now feel assured of its success. 1t
is to be just the sort of short snappy
afternoon of sport that makes real
objective for a weekend outing that
no one can resist these autumn days.
Three races have been filled with
six or more entries to each. There
is to be a quarter mile fiat race
for half-breds; like dash for
thorough-breds, and the three mile
steeple-chase for the Annfield Cup.
The latter, of course, is to be the
feature of the meet, and one or
more point-to-point horses are COM
ing from the stables of Messrs.
Waugh Glasscock, Turner of the
Plains, Joe Thomas, Ben Randolph,
Ed. Jacobs, Jack Trapnell, and Geo.
Jones for this race.
The course has been laid out with
special reference to the view point
of the crowd. From little knoll in
the middle of the circular course
each one of the sixteen jumps can be
seen at close range. And l can say,
in passing, that these sixteen new
plank and post and rail jumps just
four feet each, and though it's fair
hunting country it's going to sepa-
rate the sheep from the goats before
they finish.
A number of local horses have
been entered in the fat races ana
the stables of Messrs. X. N. Gilpen,
H. M. Nelson, Capt. Ewart Johnston,
and William B. Watkins will furnish
a part of the entries for these. All
the races will be ridden in colors,
and these combinations, the selec-
lions, no doubt, of the wives and
sweethearts, will vie in brilliance
with the surrounding autumn foil
age.
Capt. Walker, of Page Brook, Mr..
Proctor, of New York; Mr.. Milburn,
Mr.. Frost, of Middleburg, and DIR.
Allen will be the starters and Judges.
Major Carpenter will be Clerk of the
Scales.
