Brief Comments

Newcastle-Too dry for corn and
potatoes. Both crops short. Blight

ures drying up. Most all farmers
holding wheat. Wheat badly affected
by weevil. Hundreds of baskets of
apples rotting; freight cost too high
to ship. A particularly pessimistic
report reads as follows: 81 have been
on my farm for nearly go years, and
this is the worst year l have ever
seen. The first part was so wet that
things were drowned out and now it
is so dry that everything is cut short.
Where the ground was high the wet
weather did not hurt so much. Far
mers can't get help now. Nobody will
work on the farms. Farmers can't
pay the wages. Men can get other
places. Everything is so low" Tame
hay is reported as weedy in some
parts of this county due, it is thought,
to trashy" seed. Apples about IS

of the pears were destroyed by frosts

kent-Weather favorable. Corn
will be a conspicuously short crop on
many farms because of the excessive
rains. Oats light, due to late seeding
and an early dry period. Alfalfa
made big crop for forage. Apple
yields were good but a considerable
portion of the crop was not disposed
of because of inadequate marketing
facilities.
Sussex-Weather conditions have
been exceptionally fine for fall crops.

NEW CASTLE COUNTY
FARM BUREAU MEETS
Bumper Corn Crop Reported.
Other Live News

"New Castle County's corn crop
this year will approximate 100000
bushels and it is not too soon to get
ready for our fall corn shows" stated
Mr.. c. P. Dickey, of Stanton, at the
monthly meeting of the New Castle
County Farm Bureau held last Sat-
urday in the Security Trust Building
in Wilmington. Vice-President C. P.
Dickey called the meeting to order.
A full membership was present. Pur-
suant to Mr.. Dickey's suggestion a
motion was carried that two district
corn shows be held, probably at New
ark and Middletown. The committee
in charge of the northern show is as
follows: w. w. Buckingham, of New
ark, chairman; Fred Trimble, of
Hockessin; Paul Mitchell, of Hockes-
sin, and Wilson Pierson, of Hockessin.
The southern committee will be ap-
pointed at an early date. The shows
will be held in November.
Mr.. j. D. Reynolds, of Middletown,
discussed the cooperative purchasing
to the effect that the feed pool of the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange, of
which Delaware is a unit, would ex-
cede $4,000 tons, and it was due to
this large volume of business that the
attractive prices were secured.
County Agent R. o. Bausman, of
Newark, stated that a QUESTIONABLE
which he had sent to those farmers
who had secured certified potato seed
through the Farm Bureau indicated
that in may cases the certified seed
yielded twice that of the home grown
seed and that without exception every
farmer indicated an intention of or
dering more of the certified seed next
spring.
A poultry disease known as Infec-
tious Interitus is prevalent among
poultry this fall. This disease is a
natural result of the poultry typhoid
infection of last summer.

New Feed Pool Organized

The latest agricultural co-operatN,
proposition to be instituted in Della
ware is the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange. This organization com
prises in its territory seven of til
principal Eastern States and includin,
Delaware. The object of the Ex
change is primarily to supply Dels
ware farmers with feed at greatly re
duced cost. The transfer this yea
should exceed $4,000 tons. The ve1
size and large business done so ia
by the pool" enables the farmers h
secure much lower price on thl

opponents of adjusted compensation
had endeavored to create the i'm

paramount issue and that the general
public is not sufficiently informed in

of compensation.
eff an ex-service mai can find a
home, find a good American girl and
have children, there will be an end
to bolshevism in this country" Mr..
Owsley said in discussing the home
purchase feature of compensation.
The land-settlement provision also
would mean much to the United
States, the Legion head asserted, in
asmuch as it means that thousands of
acres of arid and swamp land would
be reclaimed and made to produce
food for the whole country.
Mr.. Owsley pointed out that SO per,
cent of the American population is
concentrated in the large cities and

would tend to draw veterans from the
over-crowded cities to the thinly pop

Tonight, just at midnight, If every
thing goes well, thirty men, WELDING
as many pairs of huge shears, will put
the finishing touches to job which
has cost the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phine company in Topeka approx
mately S1,250.O00, and has employed
more than 200 men from outside the
city for weeks at a stretch, a job on
which the telephone company has
been working for more than a year
the conversion of the manual switch
ing system of telephoning into ma
chine switching.
Only a few minute will be consumed
in the conversion from the old to the
new. A signal-the shipping of %, 900
wires with huge shearS-another sig
nal-the pulling of many fiber fnsu-
lators-and Topeka will have machine
switching telephone service.
Seventy-FIve Men on the Job.
At 11:4O o'clock toight seventy-five
picked men. each with a very specific
duty to perform, will be at their va
rious posts, waiting for the signals.
But the public in reality will deter
mine the exact time of the conversion
public needs and requirements. The
low spot in the days calls was
picked for the zero hour. But if by
any chance there should at the time
set be any important calls going over
the present central office board, fire,
emergency calls or any other matter
of unusual Importance the cut-oyer
will be delayed until these have been
served. So the change may come a
few minutes before midnight, or few
after midnight Important
public needs will have the right of
way, if any should come up at that
time.
The man or woman who IS so in
judicious as 20 be carrying on a con-
verSation at midnight-provided the
comes on schedule-will just
naturally be out of luck, for the old
connection will be broken, and the
only way to secure a new one will be
to dial the new number of the party
to whom he or she was talking.
