TO CHECK EACH
FARM IN STATE
Supervisors of Agricultural
Conservation to Make
Study of All Farms
FARMERS TO ASSIST

Local supervisors of the Exten-
sion Department of the University
of Delaware will visit each partici-
pating farm in Delaware this sum-
mer to obtain information about
what actually has been done by the
farmer toward meeting the condi-
tions Of payment provided in the
1887 Agricultural Conservation
Program. Local supervisors now
are receiving training through the
assistance Of State supervisors in
obtaining the necessary informa-
tion. The supervisors. many of
whom have served in this capacity
under previous programs, will re-
port the facts determined for each
farm to the County Committee to
be used as basis for the prepara-
tion of the application for pay
ment. Each farmer will be asked
to assist the supervisor who visits
his farm in preparing report of
the 1887 farming operation. The
report will include a sketch of the
farm showing fields, the acreage
of crops grown in the fields, the
soil-building practices carried out,
and the names Of persons sharing
in the crops and practices. Farm
ers can save much time by pre-
pairing, prior to the supervisors
visit to the farm, a map in rough
sketch form showing this informa-
tion. In an effort to administer
the program more efficiently and
to obtain accurate information
with respect to the farm, maps are
being made from aerial photo
craps for farms in New Castle and
Kent counties. Measurements will
be obtained from these photo
graphs wherever they are avail
able. On farms where aerial photo
graphs will not be available, more
of the acreage will be covered by
measurement this year than was
the case in 1886. In connection
with soil-building practices carried

which feature kennel departments

While the hound shows on the third
day undoubtedly were the most color
full and most spectacular feature Of
the class judging, they drew the small

to the fact that the New York City
authorities discourage both foxes and
fox hunts on the city streets.

funeral that would make for some
gangland hero! Diamonds were
trumps. but pearls. emeralds and
rubies were in evidence, too. Even
the pups were all dressed up.
Tiny chihuanuas wore jackets
of sequins. Yorkshire terriers
appeared in harnesses Of bril-

with gaudy hair ribbons.
More sober breeds had collars and

their coats and in bright plaids.

TINE most exciting and colorful
of all American dog shows now
is past. Champions have
u tumbled and champions have
risen. The true value Of the dogs in
some cases has been confirmed by
the decisions of the judges at West
minister In other cases, utterly false
values have been aseribed to dogs
which for one reason or another either
did or did not catch the judges eye
The judging of the collies provided
two cases in point. The dog which
last year defeated an old and tried
champion for best collie in the show.
this year merely placed in his class,
not even making the reserve winner.
The dog he defeated last year, for the
third time, gained the distinction Of
best of breed.
Last years winner, Silver
Merrick, has flash; this years
winner, Bellhaven Black Luca-
son, has staying powers.
The 1887 decision in collies was
trebly interesting in that it saw the
comeback of Black Lucason. the
defeat of the flashy Silver Merrick,
and the repetition of the wins of 1885
for winners dog, winners bitch and
best of breed, namely Bellhaven
Standard Bearer, Bellhaven Busybody
and Bellhaven Black Lucason.

Chick Uses Ten Clubs.

IT'S IN line with Chick Evans ideas,
for Chick won his championships
with 10 clubs in his bag. Confine the
number of clubs to 10 today and Chick
would be near the top. He could and
still can play more shots with few
clubs than most of the topnotchers
of today know anything about.
Other innovations are: Bookmakers
may make book on the tournament
and shout their odds, there will be a
pool and selling of players, pairings
will be made from the hat" in place
Of the usual method of pairing the
topnotchers together to provide the
gallery appeal.
All in all the Chicago open, to be
played in June. will be radically new
in some of its details. But unless they
schedule it before the national open
they'll have tough time getting the
topnotchers. The open will be played
at Detroit June 10, IL and IL, and
right after that IL or IA of the pros
will leave for England, where they'll
