FARM BUREAU MEN DISCUSS
PLANS FOR FALL CORN SHOWS
TWO SHOWS SCHEDULED FOR
NEW CASTLE CO.-ONE IN KENT
John d. Reynolds, Formerly of Smyr-
ma, Now of Near MiddIetOwn, Re-
ports Exchange Feed Pool $4,000

Arrangements for fall corn shows
were discussed at an enthusiastic and
well-attended meeting of the New
Castle Farm Bureau, in the directors
room of the Security Trust Company,
Sixth and Market streets, Wilmington,
Saturday afternoon. 1t was the first
meeting since the bureau halted its
active work for the summer. Charles
p. Dickey, Stanton, vice-president,
called the session to order, and pre-
sided over it's deliberations. The at
tendance was nearly 100 per cent. j.
d. Reynolds Middletown, in discussing
the Farm Bureaus exchange feed pool
stated that the pool would exceed 3d.
600 tons. This is a large increase
over the pool of last year. Attrac-
tive prices were secured as a result of
the increased volume of business. NJ.
o. Pence, Newark, county agent lead
er,discussed the State corn show, which
will be held in Dover the first week in
January. Support of the various To-
cal corn shows already is being sOlic-
tied. There will be two corn shows
in New Castle county this fall one
north and one south of the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal. The COM
mittee in charge of the show north of
the canal is composed of Warren W.
Buckingham, Newark; Paul Mitchell
X. o. Bausman, Newark. This show
probably will be held early in Decem-
Der at Newark. According to County
Agent Bausman's monthly report, the
carload of seed potatoes bought in
! New York last winter has given most
satisfactory results. Many cases have
been reported where the certified seed
doubled the return of that bought To-
cally. and without exception the farm
/ er who grew the certified seed this
year has indicated his intention OF
ordering more next spring. Mr.. Baus-
/ man also stated that although seed
wheat was not good generally, he haC
| found several crops which had shown
good quality and high termination
when tested. He mentioned among
others the Stoner variety of wheat
grown by George c. Burge, Middle
town. f. S. Evans, Middletown, alsC
has a crop of Curls' Prolific which ger
minated 80 per cent. Farmers who
have any doubt about their seed wOulc
do we'll to see one cf the growers
named, Mr.. Bausman said. Mr.Baus
man is assisting Prof. G. L. Schuster
of Delaware University, in conducting
a soil survey of New Castle county
relative to lime requirements. Sam
piles of soil are being taken from each
section and carefully analysed. Re
suits of the survey will be published
and will give each farmer a fairly ac
curate knowledge of the soil require
ments of his particular farm. Gener
ally speaking, Mr.. Bausman said, tht
test of soil thus far taken have Shown
need of from 1000 to 1900 pounds o
hydrated lime per acre, or a large
quantity of raw lime. Soil of tn,
county universally needs lime, it ha

executive.
Commissioner Babcoc7k several weeks
ago demanded lower rail rates on road

officials offered to make cuts on in
dividual projects but the commissioner
insisted upon general flat decrease.
He carried the matter before the rail

the favorable result. e- -
Minnesota Second in Road Building

states in miles of roads built, under

eight months the Babcock good roads

apt to thrive. An organization at
Mortified, purposes to plant number

trees, now about IS inches high, will
mature in about Is years, the forester
said. They will be furnished where IN

tee proper planting and care. go
Although the forest service is WIN
