PROSPECT FOR WHEAT CROP
Farmers Afraid That Prices Will
Go Much Lower Than Usual

Farmers are much concerned over
in Blackbird Hundred in regard to
their future wheat crop, says a cor
respondent to the Morning News.
From the present outlook, harvest
will be on about June 20, and while
the outlook month ago for a good
crop was very poor the new wheat
is now mostly in the period of bios
soming and from appearances there
will be bountiful crop. Many of
the heads of the new wheat are
found to contain from % to 80
blossoms for grains and is said that
an average of 27 grains to the head
on wheat that is fairly thick will
total yield of % bushels per acre.
Many growers fear that a large
crop will greatly effect the price of
new wheat which already promises
to be much lower than for several
years. Local grain dealers are
now offering 85 cents per bushel
for new wheat delivered during the
month of July. This, farmers say
will cause them to suffer great
loss. 1t is said that the price of
threshing alone will be s cents per
bushel. Some farmers are intend
ing to use combination machines
this season to cut ad thresh their
crop at one time. Others fear a
wet harvest season and claim a lot
of wheat would be lost if the low
lands become soft from rain when
a combination machine can not
work on account of mireing. While
the new wheat appears well head
ed, it is noticed that the crop of
straw is much lighter than usual.
Farmers who had intended to seed
considerable acreages in fallow
ground wheat, are now considering
planting late sugar corn and other
crops instead of wheat, due to the
outlook of the market. Ii is ru-
mored that the spring wheat crop
in the West will be considerably
lighter this year due to the cold
spring in that region and some
farmers hope that the price Of win
ter wheat will advance.

STILL MANY AUTO ACCIDENTS
Total Fatalities of Vehicles Greater
than Population of Richmond

than Population of Richmond
A total Of 27,288 persons were
killed in the United States last year
by automobiles, according to revis-
ed figures of the American Motor
lists Association, National Body of
the Delaware Automobile Associa-
tion, 18th and West street, Will
mington. Of this number 2,165
were motorists killed at railroad
grade crossings, figures of the In
terstate Commerce Commission
show. Some idea of the toll Of hui
man life, taken by automobiles, the
Association points cut, is gotten by
the total killed in the past 10 years,
which shows an aggregate of 1884,

and futile carnage of human life.

however, were no more futile than
the mounting toll of dead, partly
the result of carelessness, on the
part of American motorists" de-
clares J. Borton Weeks, President
of the Association. An analysis Of
the Annual L. S. Census reports
show that by far the largest nun
Der killed by automobile are pc
destrians. In most cities a police
investigation is made. Motorists
in some cases are charged with
carelessness contributing towards
the deceased's death, but in the ma
jority of cases the coroner's verdict
is that the deceased own careless
ness resulted in his death. The in
evitable conclusion is that pedes-
trians themselves must exercise
more personal care" The total
fatalities of motor vehicles in the
past ten years is greater than the
population of Omaha,

VIII be Held at the Hotel HenIopeu
in Rehoboth on July 8 and 10
The members of the Delaware
State Pharmaceutical Society and
the Travellers Auxiliary will con
vene at Rehoboth Beach on July 8
and 10 for their Annual Convention.
DR.. Walter L. Morgan, Michael
Hendler and DR.. James T. Chal-
lenger the committee on arrange
ments were at the resort last week
to make the necessary arrange
ments with Mr.. Grenoble manager
of the Hotel Henlopen. This Con-
vention means much to Rehoboth
and the summer would seem indeed
dull if the congenial Pharmaceuti-
cal gentlemen and their Wallets the
statesmen were not present to have
their usual good time there. If you
are unfamiliar with this high toned
word Pharmaceutical, Doc Morgan
says it means just plain druggist
and he is the originator of the
name Valet for the members of the
Travellers Auxiliary Doc thinks
that in view of the fact that the
blooming statesmen are always try
ing TO sell them something they
should at least wait on them at the
summer convention. The above
named committee drop their non
de-plumes Of Dr. and Sir Michael
when they get there and they are
plain Doc alt, Doc. Jim and Mike.
The Convention will be packed full
of exciting events during the two
day session and will iclude enter
tainment features under the pers-
onal direction of Doc Morgan and
Soap Smith, two honest to good
ness comedians, one of dry humor
and the other wet, business sessions
for the men and bridge parties for
the ladies will be topped off on the
evening Of the Tenth with the usual
Banquet. The members of the
committee were we'll pleased with
the many Improvements of the
Hotel Henlopen and especially with
the wide boardwalk where they will
conduct their races in the after
noon. The citizens Of Reho5oth al
ways welcome this convention as
they always have a real good time
and go back home carrying good
reports of Rehoboth.

EGG PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Requirements of Markets Served
by PouItrymen to be Explained

by P0Uitrymen TO be Explained
The long debated question" Which
came first, the hen or the egg" has
never been satisfactorily answered.
1t would seem, however, that ofic-
ials of the Delaware Poultry Asso-
citation in appointing a committee
to stage a special egg show for All
club members, in connection with
the Delaware State Poultry Show
to be held at Milford, December 81,
4th and 5th, have rather distinctly
implied that in relative importance
the egg ranks above the hen. As
evidence of this decision in favor cf
the egg this special egg show COM
mittee has adopted the unique
slogan "You may get a few good
eggs from a poor hen, but you'll new
er get even poor hen from a bad
egg" The committee in charge of
this Al club egg show consists of
G. C. Hudson, Frangford as chair
man, and Denny Pleasanton, Dover;
Mrs. Horace Dennis son, Fockessin;
Miss Anne B. More, Couty Club
Agent, Georgetown; Miss Helen L.
Comstock, County Club Agent, Do
YER; George NJ. Worrilow, County
Club Agent, Newark; and A. D..
Cobb, State Leader of County
Agents, University of Delaware Ex-
tension Service, Newark. Later in
the season several club members
from each committee viii be added
to the committee. Glasses for eggs
will be based upon the market
grades usually defined at the mar
kets to which Delaware eggs are
shipped, and it is believed that this
will be the first egg show in the en-
tire country where this classifica-
ton has been offered. White eggs
and brown eggs will be shown sep
arately and will be divided into
classes for Extras, Medium and
Small tggs. The prizes offered will
be $500, first; $500, second, $1.00
third and so cents fourth in each
class. Each entry will consist of
one dozen eggs and any Al club
member may enter one dozen eggs
in each of the six classes. Infor-
nation as to the market require
ments Of each grade of eggs will
be prepared bv H. S. Palmer, ,Poul-
Try Extension Specialist Of the Uni
versity of Delaware, and furnished
to Al club members through the
County Club Agents. The commit
tee in charge hopes to have 800
dozen eggs entered for competition,
and has set the following quotas
for each county as follows: SUSSEX
300 dozen, Kent 100 dozen, and
New Castle 100 dozen. No entry
fee will be charged but the eggs
are to become the property of the
show and will be sold to help de-
fray the show expenses and to raise
funds to send a Al Club Poultry
Team to represent Della
ware at the Madison Suare Garden
Show in New York City in
December. The members of this
Judging team will be selected at a
Judging contest held at TIE Della
ware State Poultry Show in Mil
ford on December 5th. Every All
club member in the state is eligi-
bic to enter eggs in this show and
t is expected to be the biggest ed
lcational feature of this years

EMPLOYERS
Of Empire State Ignore
Compensation Law

New York.-Chief City Magistrate
McAdoo will examine reports by
State Attorney General Hamilton
that employers in this city are ig-
noring the workmen's compensation
law.
"It is alleged to me that a great
many employers are failing to insure
their employees as required under this
act, either by not insuring them at
all or by allowing the insurance to
lapse and not renewing it." said the
chief magistrate. "Most Of these
cases come to the attention of the
commission under the workmen's
compensation law, where accidents
have occurred in factories and shops,
and during Investigations it has been
found there has been no insurance
and in some cases the employer has
no means to pay the damages settled
against him, which, of course, is a
gross injustice to the working people
/ understand that the labor unions
are, as might be expected, very
strongly in favor of the strict en-
forcement of this law"

"The United States, in it's infancy,
advocated neutral rights of trade be-
cause it was good business with all
Europe more or less continuously at
war. Considering the war was waged
by mercenary or professional troops,
it was humane doctrine as we'll.
