CORN GROWERS

Many Worth While Prizes

The Executive Committee of the
Delaware Corn Growers Association
met at the Harrington Fair last
Thursday to arrange for the time and
place of the next annual State Corn
Show. 1t is Kent county's year for
the show and it is expected that in
vitations from Kent county towns in
terested in the show will soon be re-
ceived. The Association will issue a
premium list in a short time to cover
the $500 in cash prizes offered by the
State for the best exhibits of corn and
small grains.
In addition to the cash prizes Of
fered the association will furnish
three scholarships to the Junior Short

PENNANT FIGHTS
New York and St. Louis Clubs Look
Like Winners

From present indications the
worlds baseball championship this
season will be confined to one city.
At the present time the teams of St.
Louis and New York in both of the
major leagues seem to have the edge
and the clubs are see-sawing back and
forth in the league leads.
The New York clubs are at their
old tricks again of buying star players
from tail-end clubs in mid-season to
bolster up their teams. This is bring
ing a storm of protest from the other
clubs that still have a chance in the
pennant chase and it is thought that
the National and American Leagues
will, in the near future, pass a law
that will break this practice up.

MANY PRIZES FOR
Sk1LLFUL WORKERS
State Fair Will Offer Over 800
Premiums for Housekeep-
ing Features

competition for prizes for needle
work, crocheting, preserving and bak-
ing 1or the women and children of
Delaware at the Delaware State Fai,
which opens at Elsmere on Labor
Day, September 4, and continues five
days, 1t is expected will be keener
than ever this year. The committees
IN charge of this department of the
Falr have made new classes to inter-
est the competitors and enable them
to show their skill more attractivelv
than ever before.
with the women there are oppor-
tunlties for Ga premiums, there being
that many prizes for first and second
winners offered. With the children
there are 2OS first and seconds where
by the kiddies may show their pro-
hclency as future housekeepers par
excellence. Miss Denise dupont offers
gold medal to the child winning the
largest number of blue ribbons in the
sewing section, with no former win
ner eligible.
Miss DUPONT also offers a gold
medal for the best loaf of bread.
Women and children may compete
but professional bakers are barred.
NO former winner may compete.
IN addition to the plain sewing,
knitting and crocheting, there are
premiums for those women and chill
dren whose tastes run to fancy work
IN the way of china painting. There
is also the opportunity for the pro-
fesslonal needleworker and a special
class for amateur and professional
ralsers of flowers to demonstrate their
skill. The children have the chance
to show their talent in drawing and
painting and the crafts as we'll as the
arts of the work Of a home
maker.

SILOS COMING INTO MORE
GENERAL USE ON ALL FARMS

10 mich cows the silo is rapidly be-
coming as necessary as milking. Ac-
tually, the one depends upon the
other, for to the flow of milk the silo
is the substitute for green pastures,
and green feed means increased milk
flow.
Since the silo is the only method
whereby green feed can be success
fully kept for long periods, many
months, and used as wanted and be-
cause milk flow can be materially in
creased, silos should have a place
wherever stock is kept. That they
pay for themselves quickly is the rea-
son for the constant increase in num-
bers used-their popularity is due to
their profitableness. To be able to
keep four cows on the price it former
ly cost to keep and feed three is ire
sistible. An acre of corn is made to
do additional duty when stored in a
silo. Instead of four to five tons of
husked corn to the acre the silo will
raise the feed tonnage to fifteen tons
to the acre and more milk will be re-
turned.
1t is well established that poor corn
years do not seriously affect yields
where silos are used, the siloing of
corn prevents shrinkage, whereas a
bad maturing year in husked corn
systems means shrinkage anywhere
above 10 per cent. Silos and blower
cutters are a money making combina-
tion and rapidly are coming to be
standard farm equipment.
Since the money-earning power of
the farmer is more or less limited to
favorableness of seasons the silo ma
turally follows. Usually one seasons
use will not only save heavy loss
from unfavorable conditions, but will
pay back the cost of the silo.

Local Association Working Hard for

The Newark Anglers Association,
which at the present time is making
drive to have a reservation on the
Dayett property near Cooch, is meet
ing with success. Popular subscrip-
tions are being taken as one means of
raising sufficient money to dam in the
stream and stock it with game fish.
Already many subscriptions have
been received and those in back Of
the movement are confident that work
on the project can be started in a
short time. Every real sportsman is
anxious to see the movement turn
out success, and from the present
indications this is what will happen.

Soldering that would have gladdened

Irish army lacks in experience IL makes

The rebels had heard that a shipment
OF Dublin guards and material was
headed for Tralee and hastily sent re-
Inducements to the shore TO prevent the
landing. As the ship approached the
sandy beach the rebels opened sharp

boats would be futile. lie therefore

then dove into the sea and swan, push

got footing they seized the rifles off

Confidence was expressed in Ad-

railroad executives at their meeting
in New York tomorrow would accept
the Presidents latest plan for adjust
ing the shopmen's strike by leaving
the question of seniority to the rail-
road labor board This was the intl-
nation at the White House and was
the view expressed by Senators who
generally reflect the White House
viewpoint at the capital.
The hope was so pronounced tha.
it carried the suggestion that assur-
ances of corroborative characte,
had becn received concerning whai
the executives plan TO do
While this expectation she'd a ray
of hope on the strike situation it was
dimmed by the probability that tho
shopmen would be less tractable or
this issue. The President is proceed
ing. however, on the assumption that
public necessity will prevail and feels
the shopmen in the last analysis will
be less likely to refuse the solution
than tho executives.
The executives are known to feel
deeply on the subject Of seniority rights.
and while the solution offers them a
way out OF their refusal to accept the
Presidents solution. II does not absolve
them from the pledges they have made
