STATE HOUSE AT.
DOVER, STRUCK
Lightning Bolt Hit Cupola on
Historic Building During
Storm on Monday
FIRE WAS AVERTED

Dover was brown into consider
able excitement Monday morning
when, during the electric storm,
which passed over Smyrna in its
course down state, Delaware's old
and historic State House was
struck by lightning and the cupola
was damaged to the extent of $500
or $400. The storm descended on
Dover about $50 a. M, accompan-
led by sharp flashes of lightning
and deluge of rain. A number
from the Legislative Hall and Do
ver's new postoffice saw that bolt
of lightning strike the State House
cupulo. The copper rain spout on
the east side of the building con-
Quoted the lightning into the
ground, thus saving the structure
from fire. The shock, however,
was felt in the Kent County Court
House on the other side of the Do
yer Green. No one was injured
but a number of State House work
ers suffered temporarily from
shock. Miss Harriet Carson, stand
ing against a screen door in the
court house, was stunned, Ray
Gormley felt shock while tele-
phoning from his Office in the court
house. Prothonotary Wilbur d.
Wilds reported that his hand went
numb while he was writing. Sec
retary of State Smith was one of
the few eye witnesses of the
lightning bolt. He was standing
at the time by the window of his
Office in the Legislative Building,
attracted by the heavy rain. II
saw the lightning cleave out of the
air." he said, strike the flag pole
and then roll on down the side of
the building to the courtyard. AS
son as saw what had happened"
Sr. Smith said, II rushed out to my
automobile and hurried to the
State House I was particularly
worried lest some one was injured,
and lest the old building catch fire
Some of the women were hyster-
ical," he said, "but they were soon
quieted" Mr.. Smith lauded the
janitorial workers who responded
to the emergency. Samuel Grif-
fin, one of the janitors, Mr. Smith
said, was up in the cupola with
the State House fire hose, looking
for fire, by the time I reached the
building" The old State House
building was badly shaken by the
bolt. Two hours after the cupola
was wrecked the skylight in the
State Library collapsed. Mrs. Es-
telle w. Tschudy of Smyrna, State
Librarian, was there at the
time. William d. Denney, custod-
ian of the State House, immediate
ly had workmen on the scene, COW
ering the exposed parts of the
building from the rain. Governor
G. Douglass Buck was not at his
Office in the Legislative Building
that day. The State House is the
oldest capital building in the Unit
ed States in continuous use. The
cupola has been one of its most
attractive features. 1t was restor-
ed in 1909 with the remainder OF
the building to its original beauty.
! The first building on that site was
the Kent County Court House hlIilt
in 1922. Sixty-nine years later,
the building was reconstructed.
When the seat of state government
moved in 1779 from New Castle to
Dover, the old building on that
site became the State House. 1t
was in the present day State
House that Delaware delegates
convened and ratified the federal
Constitution, thus giving this state
the honor of being the first to ap-

College of Agriculture
Extension Service

| Farmers in Pinal county who wish
to make sure that they will receive
| full payment for any diversion or
| depicting base. This 15. percent
! soil-building they do under the
1886 Agricultural Conservation
Program should make certain that
their acreages Of soil-conserving
crops meet the requirements, Co.
unity Agent K. K. Henness says.
There are deductions from total
payments if a farmer does not have
enough soil-conserving crops on
his farm.
The farmer should make sure
that he has at least Is per cent as
much acreage in soil-conserving
crops as he has in his general soil
depicting base. This Is percent
may be either land in soil-conserv-
ing crops planted in 1886 or land
already in such crops, or COM
bination of the two. If farmer
can show soil-conserving crops
equal to Is percent of his general
soil-depleting base, he is eligible
to redeive payments without de-
duction nhis acreage diversion
or soil-building practices.
The Is percent of the soil-deplet-
ing base which the farmer needs
to show in soil-conserving crops
has no relation to the Is percent
maximum diversion upon which he
can receive payment, Mr.. Henness
says. The Is percent maximum is
the largest acreage upon which
Glass l payments can be made. A
farmer ma ydivert Is per cent of
his soil-depleting base acreage ev-
en- if he already has the minimum
acreage in soil-conserving crops.
Glass l payment swill be made on
ly for acreage actually diverted.
A farmer who harvested 100 ac-
res of soil-depleting crops in 1885
and whose only soil-conserving
crop is 13 acres of alfalfa would
need to show at least Is acres in
soil-conserving crops Us percent
Of his soil-depleting base) in 1886
in order to be eligible for any pay
ments without deduction. AS he
already had 13 acres, he could
qualify by adding two more acres
Of alfalfa. He would then have Is
acres of alfalfa and So acres in
soil-depleting crops and he would
be paid for diverting two acres.
