FARMERS SEE DEMAND
FOR COMING RYE CROP
[Conlinned from Firgl Paael

lI0HHHHed I0W fHH EaSel
Young rye is good pasturing land,
the straw is tough and strong and
good for bedding and is a good hog
feed Wheat is now selling at 80
cents a bushel compared to the high
rye price. Rye, planted here usually
yields about As bushels to the acre,
compared with 20 to 30 bushels an
acre for wheat. Rye is also hardy
and needs little fertilizer. During
the past years of attempted prohi-
bition, rye has not been large crop
here. What was planted was usual
ly plowed under to enrich the soil
Before prohibition rye was an i'm
portant Delaware crop.
During the World War, when the
price of coffee was soaring, roasted
rye grain was used for coffee. In
the early Colonial days this was al
so done by Colonial Delaware farm
ers.
One of the drawbacks of rye straw
is that, when used for manure, it
rots slowly.

AS Bob, Morrissey and Brown

standing at the curb, Bob sighted
Ava coming out of the telephone
building
He waved and she came hurrying
over. Drawing her aside, Bob told
Ava Of his plan to arrest st. George.
Ava clapped a hand to her mouth
and stood staring at Bob, wide-eyed.
Are you sure, Bob?' she asked
at last.
80 sure that I'm willing TO risk
my whole career on it," answered
Bob, his eyes cleaning.
Let me come with you?" pleaded
Ava.
Reluctantly, Bob consented to let
her core with him. They clambered
into the rear seat of the squad car
while Morrissey and Brown took the
front seat.
They drove straight up Meridian
street, discussing grimly the task
which faced them and the pOsSibil-

Suddenly, the curtain at the wall
Of the den was torn away. Three
swarthy men leaped out and onto
Bob, Brown and Morrissey. Ava
screamed. st. George retreated
through the door.
Bob was having his hands full
with his combatant and Brown was
on his back, struggling desperately
to topple over the man who sat
astride him.
The man who had leaped on Nor
riSsey's back had pinioned the
chiefs arms behind. The chief,
with a desperate lunge, threw his
foe sidewise, grasped him around
the neck and smashed out with a
terrific ft-handed punch.
It caught the man on the side of
the temple and he went down like
a log. MorrisSey leaped over and
grabbed the man on Brown and
hurled him half across the room,
following up with a series Of rights
and lefts which sent the swarthy
individual to his knees.
Brown rushed to Bob's help and
together they trusSed the man up.
Ava, panic-Stricken, stood at the
door pointing outside.
Hes gone she cried.
NEORRISSEY dashed for the
Nl telephone and put in hurried
instructions to halt st. George, who
now was speeding toward the down.
town section.
He ordered a radio squad to come
to the ST. George residence inme-
diately to take custody of the three
men.
Almost Immediately a squad car
was in front of the house and four
policemen bundled off the three de-
| feated fighters. One of them had a
blackening bruise on the temple
and another's nose was gushing
blood, ample proof of the effect of
MorriSsey's blows.
DOB, Morrissey, Brown and Ava
Id dashed into the chiefs car and
started downtown.
Lets get to the airport quick, "
said Bob. He'll head into the air
right away. Where he goes up from,
Heaven only knows. Brown and I
are going up after him."
Siren screaming, the car Speeded
through the streets, out to Ben
Davis, with Ava and Bob holding
tight as the careening car turned
corners at breakneck speed.
Tires screeching, they turned into
Municipal airport and skidded to a
stop. They dashed out and Bob
rushed into Major Cox office imme-
diately.
Where's that plane I ordered a
week ago?" asked Bob breathlessly.
1T came in this morning and it's
all ready. It'll take ten minutes
warming up, though" warned Cox.
Lets get going" said Bob.
In a moment, men we're wheeling
a beautiful low wing monoplane to
the concrete runway and a second
later its motor was roaring.
GliStening atop the front cock
pit was the blunt nose Of ma

moment before they climbed into
their seats, Brown at the controls.
They're off" shouted Morrissey.
