Farmers are much discouraged
over the outcome of their coming
corn and tomato crops. Heavy rain
storms have covered the ground
with water and will cause the toma-
toes to be quite failure. Farmers
have had very little profits from
their crops this year, and there is
no prospect at present for them to
make any money this year.
The poultry judging school con-
Quoted at Bridgeville few days ago
was one of the most successful ever
held in Delaware. Most of the work
in the school was practical. Those
who attended had a chance to study
and handle trap-nested hens having
an egg-laying record varying from
Is to IT'S eggs per year. The var
ious points such as pigmentat1ons,
mott, body types, handling qualities
and head types were discussed by
means of illustrated lectures, and
then the students were given
chance to put this into actual use
by means of handling and working
with the trap-nested birds which the
Delaware State Poultry Association
had trap-nested. The school was
under the supervision of Hoke s.
Palmer, extension poultryman of the
University of Delaware, who was
assisted by County Agent c. R. Sny-
der, Former County Agent M. c.
Vaughn, of Georgetown, Penrose S.
