to utilize more wheat in the laying
mash is to replace a portion of
corn meal in the mash with rolled
or cracked wheat. If the laying
mash contains 20 per cent or more
of corn meal, it is safe to substi-
tute cracked or rolled wheat for
one-half of the corn meal. Wheat
is more satisfactory as feed for
hogs than for any other class of
livestock. Hogs like wheat and
they may be fed all the wheat they
will eat without causing digestive
disturbances. A ration of Is
pounds of whole or cracked wheat
and one pound of tankage will
produce gains equal to a ration of
corn and tankage. A wheat ra-
ton that is giving satisfactory re-
suits in swine feeding experiment
at the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station consists of s
pounds of whole wheat and one
pound of cracked soybeans. Wheat
may take the place of corn meal in
the dairy ration without decreas-
ing milk production. Wheat fed
to dairy cattle should be rolled or
cracked rather than ground fine.
Wheat when ground fine forms a
pastry, unpalatable mass when
masticated by dairy cattle. No
stock owning Delaware farmer
can afford to sell 20 to so cent
wheat and feed S10O corn. Meth
er is it economy to sell wheat at
such a low price and buy all the
feed used by the livestock on the
farm. Wheat marketed thru farm
animals will give a greater return
per bushel than can possibly be OBJ
tanned at present prices. Instruc-
tions as to the best method of
feeding wheat can be obtained by
any livestock producer by writing
to his Agricultural County Agent,
or writing the Department of An
imal Industry, Delaware Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.

DROUGHT SET BACK ALFALFA
Many Farmers Would Have Had
Their Seed in Ground by This Time

If weather conditions this sum-
mer had been more favorable with
a normal amount of rainfall those
farmers who had planned to sow
few acres of alfalfa this year
would have had their seed in the
ground by this time, but as the re-
suit of the severe drought the al
falfa acreage in Kent county and
in many sections of the United
States will be materially reduced
to the extent that many farmers
will face a hay shortage during
the next year. The local showers
in some sections of the county and
state, however, will make it pos
sible for those farmers in these
areas to seed their alfalfa land,
and in those sections where the
dry weather has been most severe
the farmers have been preparing
their fields with the hope that
sufficient amount of rainfall would
come in time for them to sow their
oil dlld Jul lHS tAc IdllCA PoIL VI
August, which is the recommended
time for seeding in this part of
the country. More farmers each
year are becoming interested in al
falfa as a very desirable hay crop
for their dairy cattle and other
livestock, as indicated by the sur
veys which have been taken by
the county agricultural agents in
this state each fall, and this alfal-
ia campaign will be continued un-
til the acreage is sufficient to meet
the demand for this kind of hay,
but drought conditions have been
adverse to the project this sum-
mer with the result that many
farmers will not be able to seed
the acreage which they intended to
sow this year. Unless the land
which is to be seeded to alfalfa
has been lined within the past
year or so, it is advisable to apply
about 1000 pounds of hydrated
lime to the acre, and the seed pre-
ferably innoculated northwestern
grown seed should be sown at the
rate of 20 pounds to the acre, al
though some farmers prefer using
few pounds more on land that
is in a high state of fertility.

SUGGESTS WHEAT AS A STOCK
FOOD IN PRESENT SITUATION
DELAWARE COLLEGE EXPER-
IMENT STATION SHOWS HOW
Can Take Place of Corn Meal as a
Dairy Ration Without Decreas-
ing the Milk Production

The continued low price of wheat
and the probability of the scarcity
and high price of corn is causing
many owners of livestock to con-
slider the possibilities of the sub
stitution ofw heat for corn in feed
ing poultry, hogs, and dairy cat
tie. Experimental evidence has
shown that wheat is equal, and for
some classes of livestock, superior
to corn as a livestock food, and
that when corn is worth 85c per
bushel, wheat has a feeding value
of Sill per bushel. How can
wheat be fed in place of corn? The
Animal Industry Department of
the Delaware Agricultural Exper-
iment Station has the following
suggestions to make to owners of
livestock for using wheat as a
stock food. Increasing the amount
of wheat in scratch grains fed lay
ing birds offers the best opportun-
ity for utilizing more wheat in
poultry feeding. A scratch mix
ture consisting of 800 pounds of
whole wheat and 200 pounds of
whole corn will give good results.
AS corn meal and wheat are sim
liar in composition, the best way

FORD FINANCE PLAN
Lower Finance Charges Make 1t
Easier to Own a Ford Car

Universal Credit Company is
now observing its Second Ami
versary. This Ford financing or
ganization provides uniform time
payment plans at low cost for pur-
4 chasers of Ford Cars who desire to
pay for their transportation as
they use it. The approval accord
ed the UCC Plans by dealers and
public has been complete, with the
result that millions of dollars have
been saved for Ford purchasers
4 through the lower finance charges
of the UCC Plans. An estimated
saving of approximately $30,000,-
600 has been made for customers
of Ford Dealers during the past
two years through the lower time
sales charges created by UCC for
the benefit of the public. The cost
of credit is shown to be just as
/ important as the cost of the ma
terial that becomes a part Of the
automobile. Credit is a commod-
ity that is important to high per-
centage of purchasers. The amount
of the finance charge influences the
Time Delivered Price of the car.
Consequently, the lower finance
charges of UCC actually result in
a price reduction on Ford Cars.
Universal Credit Company now
has thirty-two Branch Offices es-
tablished throughout thel Country
and employs nearly two thousand
people. The company has success
fully handled volume of business
inexcess of S425, 100000 and has
passed on important economies to
nearly 100000 time purchasers of
Ford Cars who secured the advan-
tages of these Authorized Ford
Finance Plans during the last two
years. The Branch Offices of the
UCC organization are established
in the following cities: Atlanta,
Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincin-
natl, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas,

LAUREL GIRL ATTACKED WHILE
Hiking FROM CITY TO HOME
GRACE WATSON, II, FOUND
BLEEDING ON THE ROAD
Police Looking For the Man Who
DecOyed Lass to Woods by Of
fering Her Ride in Car

A 17-year-old daughter of a
farmer of near Laurel, went to
Chester, Pa, to visit her sister and
not being able to locate her, be-
came tired of the city and being
without funds, started to walk
home. But the lone female way
farer came to grief, when she was
attached by a man who dragged
her into woods along the Bridge
water Road three miles south Of
Chester. The girl is Grace Wat
son, daughter of Joseph and Mag
gle Watson. She left home some
days ago with the idea of visiting
her relatives, Mrs. Stella Starky,
of 301 West Twenty-third street, in
Chester. After the alleged attack,
the girl was sent to the detention
home where the matron in charge
gained sufficient information about
her to locate the sister and We'd
nesday night Grace found herself
under her kin's roof. She was
given over to the custody of her
parents Thursday. The girl was
found along the highway bleeding
and with her clothes torn by Char
les McAteer, of Chester, who took
her to the police station. There
she blurted out the story to the
effect that she met the stranger
standing along the road. Accord
ing to the girl, the man agreed to
give her a lift in his automobile
which he said was parked at a
friends home just through the
woods. The girl said as they
started to walk through the woods
the man attacked her. At the de-
tention home that night, the ma
tron in charge said that the attack
should be warning to parents to
better instruct their daughters to
be very careful of approaches by
strangers, because this was only
one of a number of cases where
young girls have left home and
later came to grief in the Chester
Detention Home.

surrounding the alleged conspiracy
the attorney generals office decid-
ad TO take no action, in that the
arsenic had been discovered before
Il reached Russ. The attack which
resulted in Russ death occurred in
Mrs. Reeds home on February %.
last Russ was convicted in April.
Three appeals for new trial and
two appeals for a pardon or COM
mutation before the State Board
of Pardons failed. Russ slept very
little during the last night of his
life. He is said to have gone to
sleep early in the morning, also
arising early. Told he could have
ANYTHING he desired for breakfast
he ordered only a cup of coffee and
then received spiritual consolation
from the Rev. ]. r. Hollans, pastor
Of Haven M. E. Church and the
Rev. w. M. Price, pastor of the
Eighth Street Baptist Church, both
colored churches. For an hour
before the hanging Russ sat with
the two ministers and D. j. At
well. connected with Haven M. E..
Church, in an ante room of War
den Leach's office. The official ex-
ecution jury left the "center" of
the workhouse at 11.07 o'clock and
started their walk through the
tunnel leading from the workhouse
to the whipping post. The tunnel
was intensely hot and brought a
sweat to everyone's brow. Russ
was handcuffed before he left the
anteroom on the death march and
was supported on either side by
workhouse guards. He seemed at
times on the verge of collapse but
eventually went to his death with
a smile on his face and the words
of the Lords Prayer on his lips.
The Rev. Holland and the Rev.
Price walked up the gallows with
Russ. Russ recited the Lords
Prayer, smiling. The Rev. Hol-
land then himself repeated the
prayer. When Russ was asked by
the minister if he had anything to
saw before he entered the valley of
death Russ said I'm being hanged
not for an attack but because of
whiskey. Tell all your men to

fit from the proceeds. The pro-
gress of the camp has been greatly

help given to the camp, all those
fortunate enough to be able to at
tend are given rare treat of
wonderful music in a beautiful
setting. A special program has
been arranged for the Longwood
