HOLD FARMERS SHORT
COURSE AT MILFORD
COmingAffair OF Year VIII Be Held
The Week Of February 18th
To 18th Inclusive.
POULTRY EXPERTS TO TALK
Several Days Will Be Devoted Ex-
clusiveIy To The Poultry In
dustry In All Its Phases.

Professor c. A. McCue, dean of the
Agricultural Department of the Uni
versity of Delaware, came to Milford
last week and conferred with a COM
mittee from the Milford Grange with
the idea of locating the Farmers
Short Course at Milford in 1928. Af-
ter looking over the available build
ings for holding such a school, Pro-
fessor McCue decided that the new
Grange Hall now nearing completion
would be an ideal place for such an
affair. He has definitely decided, af-
ter promises of cooperation on the
part of the local committee, to bring
the course to Milford.
The plans for the Farmers Short
Course, as outlined to the writer by
Professor McCue on Friday last, call
for six days of intensive training for
those who attend. 1t will start on
Monday, February 18th, and close on
February 18th. At this years course
the poultry industry will be emphasiz-
ed. Two and half days will be devot-
ed exclusively to this industry, which
is so important to the farmers of low
er Delaware. One day will be devoted
to fruit culture, while very much time
will also be given to the live stock
industry, as well as soils and crops.
Last year the Farmers Short Course
was held at Seaford, and at that place
the truck farming was the leading
subject for instruction. SeafOrd being
in the section where melons, sweet
potatoes and other truck farming is
the principal occupation of the farm
ers, it was thought best last year to
specialize on subjects of interest to
persons residing in that section. For
the same reason-that Milford is in
the center of the poultry industry of
Delaware-the subject of poultry will
be given the major part of discussion.
Professor Lewis, formerly of the New
Jersey Agricultural College, and one
Of the six leading poultry experts in
the United States, will probably ad-
1ress the persons in attendance. Prof.
Lewis was at Seaford last year and
his talks were very valuable. While he
has not been secured as yet, all eff
iorts are being made to bring him to
Milford. His topic will be poultry and
he best methods of raising it.
While the full program has not
1een worked out as yet, Professor
McCue hopes to provide the best
course ever given for the short course.
This course is open to all farmers in
Kent and Sussex counties. Last year
lbOut 200 persons were in attendance
1t SeafOrd; and during the entire
week severe storm was in progress.
t is hoped this year that the attend
nee will be even greater. Further an
as to the plans for the
ourse will be made through the col
INNS of The Milford Chronicle.

CLARK MENsCH DIED SUDDENLY

Clark Mensch died suddenly at his
home at Magnolia on Wednesday of

nolia in which town he spent much of
his early life. Previous to retiring he
was Postal Inspector for the United
States Government, and was stationed

ago he retired because of poor health
and returned with his family to Mag
nolia, where he has recently remod-
eled his home. He is survived by his
widow and two daughters, Miss Eliz-
abeth Mensch, and Mrs. Bthel Collins,

P.S. DUPONT WILL AID
CHADD'SFORD SCHOOL
He Sponsors Formation Of Chester
County, Pennsylvania, AuxiIi-
airy Association.
CREATES new TRUST FUND
Will Operate On Lines Similar To
The Organization He Formed
In This State.

A modern consolidated school, SINH
lar to such buildings in Delaware,
will be erected at Chadds Ford, Pa,
through the philanthropy of Pierre S.
DUPONT, whose associates here in the
work of the Delaware School Auxili-
airy Association, have organized the
Chester County Auxiliary Association
at Mr.. duPOnt's request.
Announcement of the organization
of the new association was made last
Friday following its initial meeting.
DR.. Joseph H. Odell was elected pres
ident of the new association; Henry
P. Scott, vice president, and Mary G.
Hunter, secretary and treasurer.
New Trust Fund
While definite information on the
scope of the work of the new asso-
citation was not available it was Off
cially announced that Mr.. DUPONT had
createdsa new trust fund to carry out
his work in Pennsylvania and placed
it in the hands of the association for
administration. Certain wide powers,
similar to those of the Delaware or
ganization, have been delegated by Mr..
dupont to the new body.
At the present time, it is not defi-
nitely known what will be the scope
of activities of the new organization.
Work on the consolidated school at
Chadd's Ford will start in the near
future and it is likely that one or
more additional buildings will be con-
structed at other points in Chester
county.
The entrance of Mr.. DUPONT into a
larger field in his vast work for high
er education is heartily welcomed by
his friends in the neighboring COM
munities of Pennsylvania. His work
here in Delaware has attracted wide
spread attention in the Keystone State
and has been many times attested to
by her leading educational authorities.
At a recent dinner in Wilmington,
marking the conclusion of conven-
ton of the educators of the Middle
Atlantic States, Governor William G.
Sproul of Pennsylvania, in the course
of an address paid strong tribute to
Mr.. duPont's work in Delaware and /
said that educators in his own and
other states were closely following de-
here and adopting many |
Of the ideas first sponsored by the |
Delaware Auxiliary Association.

ing last week, was as follows:

A Domestic Diplomat.

Mr.. Judson leaned back in his chair
and surveyed his nephew with an air
of mild but exasperating amusement

see, how long have you been mar
ried :"
"Three years last month";" replied
the young man, GROSSLY, "and here
she's been at her mothers for nearly
four weeks, and she's planning to stay
another; and I've written her my socks
al need mending, too"
"Well, that was very nice and af-
fectionate reason to give her, I'm
sure" said his uncle, in soothing
tone.

wasn't the only thing he wrote"

Mr.. Judson, land you can use it any
way you like. When your Aunt Sally
and | had been married just about as
hong as you and Nancy have, she went
off visiting to one of her cousins, and
stayed five weeks. She was having
a good time with all her old friends,
and we had a reason for her to hurry

"But when it began on the fifth week
and she hadn't set any date for COM
ing home, got kind o. lonesome, an6
set my wits to work to fetch her
back

same as always did, but cut para
graph out right in the newsy part OF
the paper; and then | sent her The
Register, with paragraph cut out,
| too.
THE next day after she got 'em
| had letter from her, saying,
"What was in them paragraphs you
cut out? hope you haven't been
specializing, or buying any more ianii
Hiram?"
"And when | answered her letter
kind Of neglected to mention the
matter, but sent her another Register
with a paragraph cut out, The after
noon Of the day she got it had a tele-
gram saying, Expect me tomorrow on
the morning train She said, when
she got home, that she'd been meaning
to come then all along. Then she ask.
ed me about the paragraphs, and | told
her they we're just items cut out to see
if little Jennie Pond could parse 'em
she was a great parser, that child.

thoughtfully, "there's a difference i,
women, and what might bring one
might not-."But his nephew hat
