KENT co. CORN PRODUC-
TION RECORDS SECURED
[Confinaed from Fim PageI

of growing corn, and at later date
similar records will be taken of
other major crops in this section.
For the past six years demOnstra-
tions have been conducted on a few
farms in this county, for the purpose
of calling the attention of corn
growers to the economic value of
treating the seed with dust disinfec-
tants, to control seed borne diseases,
in addition to producing more solid
corn and improving the quality and
yield. The average increase in yield
on the So farms on which this work
has been conducted during this pc
riod, was S.9 bushels per acre, and in
practically every case the treated
corn was more solid and contained
a less maount of Gull ears than the
untreated fields.
The seed treatment and cost of pro-
duction demonstrations this year
are being carried on in cooperation
with Dewey Sapp, Houston; Frank
Coverdale, FELTON,; Clifford Clark,
Kenton; Howard c. Deakyne and
Charles Downs in the Smyrna area.
In addition to these five farms an ef-
fort will be made, to secure cost of
production records from other farm
ers, in order that sufficient num-.
ber of records may be obtained to
present a representative picture of
the labor and expense involved in the
growing of this crop in Delaware.
According to the 1880 farm census,
there is almost as much corn being
produced in Kent county today on
smaller number of acres, as was
grown on larger acreage 20 years
ago; but even so there is still an
opportunity for farmers to increase
their yields per acre to further re-
duce the coost of production.

of Delaware apples this year, how
ever, he said, is first class.
Mr.. Derickson reported that al
though the apples may have suffer
ed slightly from drought in July,
this has been a good apple year. He
said the same is true of tomatoes.
Farmers are suffering from the low
prices. Tomatoes in five-eighths
baskets, have sold as low as 10 and
IL cents basket. and are now av-
eraging around Is and II cents a
basket, occasionally at 1S cents
Green lima beans, considered a
good average crop on which to judge
farm activities, show a marked de-
crease this year over last year. Last
year 8,400 acres were grown. This
year, only $500 acres we1e planted.
The production for the State was
S,14S,000 pounds, last year, compar-
ed with 4,2O0 900 this year.
The production of beans for the
entire country is about so per cent
of what it was last year, according
to DR.. C. A. McCue, dean of agri-
culture. University of Delaware.
Most crops will be "short" of last
years crops, due to the lack cf good
prices for general farm produce to
appear and general business condi-
tions, agricultural authorities say.

And when they come to bid good morr
feel like raising Cain.

Has eyes which charm me through;
She makes me laugh and feel SO gay
I'm never, never blue.

day
Has charm l can't express
She brings my mail in at the door
Which keeps me from distress.
The one l think so sweet and gentle
Is the one who helps the doc"
Miss Worthington, the one 1 mean
Who helps to give all the shocks.
Miss Beachy. my nurse, who works at

Through all my nights of suffering
And wipes my tears of grief.

Will cause me fears and pain
But / can never, never forget
Her help to me through pain.

Her way is quiet and spry

In his sermon the pastor stressed
the different types of strength of an

spoke at great length on the privilege
of belonging to the creed of Method
ism. The fact that a Christian could
conquer all opposition if he regularly

of spiritual conquest.
