When the moon passes between
the earth and the sun on the morn
ing of next January "a, Wilmington
will just miss being in the area of
total eclipse.
At 9:08 a. m. Wilmington will see
the sun SO per cent obscured, just a
thin crescent in the heavens. A
path of total blackness, approximate
ly 125 miles wide, will sweep down
from Canada, passing over a section
of New York State, a slice Of Penn
sylvania, with Wilkes-Barre and
Stroudsburg just outside the south
ern line, and part of Connecticut
Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The eclipse will start at 1858 and
will end at 1920 a. m.
This will be the first time in the
memory of any living person in this
section that a total eclipse has oc-
Cured so near to Delaware.
The total eclipse will be seen by
more millions OF people than any
such occurrence in the past, as the
strip of darkness passes over the
most thickly populated area of the
United States. The line of total
darkness will cross through Central
Park in New York city.
The people living in the path OF
the total eclipse will have chance
to see the suns corona, only observ-
able with a naked eye during total
eclipse. AS a part of the suns sur
face will still be seen in Wilmington,
the corona will not be visible here.
The corona is a band of many col
ored lights, caused, scientists be-
lieve, by gases arising from the suns
surface.
DR.. John A. Miller, director of the
Sproul Observatory at Swarthmore
College, will head an expedition to
New Haven, Conn, to photograph
the corona by means of large
camera with tube 621a feet long,
which he used last year in Yerbania,
Mexica, during a total eclipse in that
section. He will be accompanied by
DR.. Herbert D. Curtis, director of the
Allegheny Observatory, University
of Pittsburgh.
swarthmore College has been
granted a permit by the building in
spector for the erection of an OBJ
servatory tower at the site where
the Yale observatory is located. Spe-
cial equipment for the observations
will be shipped from the college.

AGRICULTURE

Farmers are objecting strenuously
to the proposals carried in the Paige
Kelley-Edge bills which would in
crease the parcel post rates three
times and also raise the rates on
fourth-class matter. These bills will
give an increase of $150,0O0,000 to
the postal employees and this in
crease would be paid primarily by
the farmers because it is proposed to
secure the money for these higher
salaries through advancing the rates
on parcel post and fourth class mat
ter only. The parcel post business
represents only a small proportion Of
the total business of the Post Office
department and yet the increase is to
be paid through the parcel post and
by the people whose purchasing pow
er is the lowest of all the farmers.
This is rank injustice. The farmers
know that some of the postal en-
ployees may not get as high pay as
they should and they are also appre-
ciative 'of the high grade service
which the department renders. New
ertheless the farmers cannot see the
equity in requiring them to bear the
entire burden or even any consider
able proportion of the increase in
salaries.

may well look to the suitability of
that particular field for the growing
Of clover before sowing the seed.
There are many factors, say the Glow
er men Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which are re-
sponsible for the failure of securing
or maintaining stand Of clover, but
these factors may be placed in five
groups: Soil exhaustion; improper
seeding methods, nurse crops, etc.;
unfit seed; diseases and improper
treatment the first autumn.
Clover fails more often, according
to the opinion Of these men, because
soils have become poor in lime, phos-
phorus, potash or other organic mat
ter than for all other reasons. If
lime is badly needed, there is no use
wasting clover seed. If phosphorus
is the limiting factor the addition Of
lime alone, even if the land is "sour"
will have slight effect. Manure will
uO SOOU ulOT0 OlCCu CIldIl any tlAiIlS
else, but when lime is needed the re-
suits from manure will be much
greater after this need has been sup
Piled than before. BY making the
soil conditions such as favor the
growth of clover failure can nearly
always be turned to success.
Where red clover can not be grown
without the addition Of lime or other
soil amendments and where the ap-
plication of these is for any reason
impracticable alsike clover should
first be substituted for red clover, or
it may be possible to grow mammoth
clover for soil improvement after
common red clover will no longer
thrive, and by turning under the
mammoth clover the soil may be re-
stored to a condition in which it will
produce stand Of red clover.

Old Paris Attributed
Big Floods to Its Sins

Paris problem Of how to fight the
foods goes back to the remote days
when, fortified camp on a river
island. the Lutetia Of Caesar, it looked
out on a panorama Of marsh and
forest.
1t is not surprising to find that Its
early inhabitants attributed its flood
disasters not to its geographical posi-
ton but to Its sins, and so in the inun.
dations that wrought terrible havoc in
the first half OF the Eighth century the
favorite remedy was religious pro.
cesson with the relics Of ST. Gene
We've. form Of intercession against
divine wrath which has been frequent.
~ practiced In the less enlightened
Latin countries much nearer our own
times. But once at least the foods
were accepted as an intervention Of
Providence. In 1856 the Seine rose
when the Normans were besieging
Paris, many Of them were drowned
and they had forthwith to raise the
siege. MAY the Seine water give you
new wigs-and better cOmbed." was
the taunt which the mOnkish chrOn
icler poet Abbo afterward addressed
to the foiled warriors.
Much as Paris has suffered in mod
ern fioods-the damage sustained in
these visitatiOns has been tritiing COM
pared with that inflicted by the in
vading waters in 1896, when stone
bridges were swept away, public
buildings crunbled, and, as an old
chr0nj@ @er says. men went In boats
overal e wall of the kings garden"
over a. great area the upper stories
of the houses rose out of vast lake.
The then larger Paris suffered even
more in the food Of 1853. Bridges
were carried away, streets became
running streams. houses collapsed In
ruin and many people were drowned.
The inhabitants seem to have taken
these troubles with an amazing phi
losophy. The food last mentioned
came at the time of the. carnival.
which was held despite the disaster.
A contemporary diarist loosely re-
marks that there would have been
more masks had 1t not been for the
conduct of Nine. la Seine. It was af
ter the 1888 food that the first at
tempts were made to bride Nine. la
Seine's caprices. Some canals were
cut. But two and half centuries

The production of sheep for wool a
lone is rapidly on the wane in the
United States. More and more en-
phasis is being placed on the produc-
ton of lamb and mutton for the table
although only 81 per cent of the
meat consumed by the average A.
merican for the last five years was
lamb or mutton. This proportion
should be much larger according to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture as mutton and lamb are a.
mong the most healthful, nutritious,
and palatable of meats.
The reason for the limited use of
lamb and mutton throughout the CEN
trail section of the United States
probably had it's origin in the days OF
the development of the great Corn
Belt region west Of the Appalachian
Mountains, department workers say.
At that time the sheep owned by the
settlers Of that region came largely
from the North Atlantic States and
had been developed almost without
exception for wool production, re-
CARELESS of the inherent flavor of the
meat. The flesh of these animals
was no doubt tough, not so palatable
as other meats, and possibly owing
to the crude methods of caring for it
much Of it was unfit for use. As this
section Of the country has been some.
what slower in the development OF
mutton breeds Of sheep, and as mucl
prejudice against the meat has bee.
handed down from generation to ger
Grafton, there has developed the ide
that the flesh of all sheep is not appe
tizing and carries peculiar flavors.
There is characteristic taste i.
looked mutton and lamb, due to tn
chemical contents of the meat ia.
that makes it easy to distinguis.
from other kinds of meat. The same
is true of beef, chicken, venison, or
rabbit. In order to prove that this
taste was not unwholesome and that
the meat was palatable, experiments
were made by the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the department Jim CO.
operation with the office of Home
Economics, which proved that lamb
and mutton are wholesome ,appetiz-
ing land economical meats for family
use, ranking we'll up with other
meats in food value per pound. The
fact that only a small proportion Of
sheep carcasses are condemned I'M
der the opinion Of department work
ers that mutton and lamb should be
used more generally.

Clover failure is one of the most
serious problems at present confront
ing the farmer in many of the clover
sections. With continuous cropping
and the consequent reduction of the
'humus and plant food in the soil the
difficulty of growing red clover is
greatly increased. This condition
must be met and solved, since the loss
of red clover or it's equivalent from
the rotation leads rapidly to run
down farm and improbable crop
yields.
