COLONIZING OF STATE

In reading accounts Of early eff.
forts to colonize Delaware one is
aware Of the confusion of details
and the lack Of conference of the
materials. The result is that most
Of US leave that period of history
half-tasted and less than half di-
gested. Professor King, head Of
the English Department of the
John Bassett Moore High School,
brought conference to those mater
ials and in a most scholarly ad-
dress portrayed wildly the events
leading up to colonization and the
difficulties met with the Indians,
the English, and the Dutch. The
attention of the members bespoke
their interest and proved conclu-
sively that speaker with mes
sage is always welcome at Rotary
meetings. AS an added attraction
Miss Betty Jones and Miss Mary
Louise Porter entertained with a
short but well-chosen program of
instrumental and vocal music. Ro-
tarians appreciate the efforts Of

more promising than a year ago
In fact Delaware's 1888 wheat crop
is estimated at 1,494 900 bushels
according to the June 1 crop re-
port of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. While this predic-
ton is made on the basis of the

indicative of the prospects of Del

yield per acre in Delaware
this year was Is bushels per acre
in June 1 as compared to the June
L indication for 1887 of 16 bushels
per acre. Last years June 1 indi-
Gated total yield for the state was
