NEW YORK, July 21.-The United

William r. Tilden at the helm in
time for the play against the French
team in the challenge round for the
Davis Cup, ii was intimated today
by Edward b. Moss, executive secre-

There will be third meeting of
the tennis moguls who dropped Til
den as captain and member of the
team at the offices of the association
on Monday afternoon for new dis

Due to Tilden's position as the
greatest bOx-Office attraction the
game has ever known, il was un.

exerted in his behalf Besides,
Tilden apparently has an ability
to win his way in most cOntrO-

the American team will win the
series regardless OF the outcome OF

thrilled the small crowd present by
entirely outciassing the Italian
Baron, whose brilliant play in pre-.
vious matches had made him heavy

TOBACCO GROWING POSSIBLE
N LOWER PART OF DELAWARE
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS THINK
SOIL is SUITABLE FOR PRODUCT
Soil is as Well Suited as That of Lam
caster County, Pennsylvania, or
the Piedmont District of Virginia

Efforts to get farmers of lower Del
aware to grow tobacco for commercial
purposes may be a project which will
be given consideration in the future.
Government officials are firmly con-
vinced that the Diamond State can
produce a fine grade since the climate
is well adapted and the soil of excel
lent quality. 1t is contended that the
land is as well suited to the crop as
that of Lancaster county, Pa, or the
Piedmont district of Virginia. Dur
ing the Civil War tobacco growing in
Sussex county was common. 1t was
grown for home use and the farmers
had a crude method of curing 1t.
Nearly every farmer had a patch
which yielded enough for his use and
sufficient quantity to supply a
neighbor who did not happen to grow
it. In those days no attempt was
made to produce it on a scale suffic-
iently large to commercialize it. The
growers did not have the proper dry
ing barns and cutting machinery and
furthermore they knew nothing of the
art of drying tobacco for the mark
cts. Already some of the farmers of
lower Delaware grow small quantities
of tobacco for their use. Interest IN
its production for commercial purpos-
es is gaining ground. In the North
ern section of Sussex county, tobacco
could be grown successfully and about
80 years ago two brothers named
Wyncoop produced between u and 70
acres on farm east Of Milford. They
knew tobacco growing and equipped
large storage house as a place to
cure it. Failure in one or two crops,
coupled with limited amount Of cap
ital, disheartened them and caused
them to abandon the product. The
storage house later was converted IN
to a fruit evaporating factory and fin
ally was destroyed by fire. Sinse that
time no farmers in the northern sec
ton Of the county have attempted to
produce a large acreage. II IS be
lieved that tobacco growing would
mean much to lower Delaware farm
ers within the next few years.
Smyrna times., 1928-12-12

While in Milford doing his shopping
on Wednesday night John Green, a
farmer of near Union Church, south
of Milford had his barn destroyed
by fire The barn contained a guam
tity of hay and fodder. Mr. Green
did not know anything about the fire
until he arrived home and found the
barn in ashes. The origin of the fire
is undetermined The loss amounts to
about $1,000, partly covered by insur
ance.

W0ULD:BE BANDIT
MET WITH RUDENESS
Chased by One Victim, Laughed at
by Another-Police Finally
Arrive.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 25.-Emil Des-
couronez, is disguised with the bandit
business. Victims, he found last night,
lack a fitting sense, of Corporation
with a tendency even to downright
rudenesS.
He got gun and pointed it at Frank
Pasching Mr.. Pasehihg, in no mood
for it, upbraided DeScouronez and then
chased him. half dozen blocks until
Descouronez lost himself in Lincoln
Park.
1t was about this time that Des-
couroneZ decided men were an unfor-
tunate choice for amateur robbers, so
he elected to rob Miss Henrietta
Walker.
He pointed the pistol and gave the
regulation "hands up" command. Miss
Walker looked at DescouroneS and
broke forth in laughter. She laughed
and laughed and laughed. Descou-
ronez was moved to complain.
You're being held up," he told her.
Whereupon Miss Walker laughed some
more. A policeman came up to see
what the laughter was about. That's
the end Of the story.
