MACHINES CUT
WORK OF FARMS
Labor Saving Devices Are
Now on Par With Big
Industries
FARMERS NOW MODERN

WASHINGTON. - Farm produc-
ton has been mechanical to a de-
gree comparable with industry, ac-
cording to the department Of ag-
riculture.
Power machinery has largely re-
placed horses and mules during the
last 20 years in most sections Of the
country, W. NJ Hurst Of the bureau
Of agricultural engineering said.
Machinery development makes it
possible for individual farmers to
grow 100 acres of corn with the
same amount Of labor that his
grandfather used in growing and
harvesting five acres in 1888, R. B.
Gray of thesame bureau said.
Labor Saving Shown.
Recent investigations, Gray said,
show that the modern farmer ex-
pends no more time or labor in pro-
ducing 5000 bushels of corn than
did the farmer 100 years ago in
producing $50 bushels.
In 1855, Gray said, the corn farm
er used walking plow, and planted
and harvested by hand. He needed
1876 hours of labor to grow one acre
of corn. The amount of labor per
acre was cut to 15.1 hours in 1855
and SO in 1890, he said.
Further improvements in ma
pIa xryffhfv1 - acf ainHt
including four-row planters and cul-
tivators and general-purpose trac-
tors-make it possible now to pro-
duce an acre Of corn with five hours
Of labor" Gray said.
The development of the general
purpose tractor, Hurst said, prob
ably has affected American agricul-
ture as much as, if not more than,
the development Of the reaper and
steel plow of century ago."
Tractors More Practical.
Only during the last 10 or IL
years, he said, have tractors been
developed suitable for planting and
cultivating row crops, for blowing,
disking and belt work. Use of pneu-
matte tires has greatly increased
the practicability Of tractors for
farm work and road hauling.
Adapting of field machinery to
use with tractors" Hurst said,
constitutes the recent major de-
velopment in what is generally
known as farm implements. New
machinery permits higher speed
and increases effectiveness in turn
ing under cover crops"
Mechanization has progressed fur
ther in the cultivation and harvest
ing Of grain crops than in cotton.
Labor in cotton fields will be re-
duced by half when a mechanical
cotton picker becomes commercial
ly available, it was said.

the seeding or plOWing under of
soil improvement crops. In accord
ance with the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act of 1888, as amended, the
wheat acreage allotment for the
United States for harvest in 1889
is approximately 55,0O0,00O acres,
as compared to the 1888 allotment
of 100000 acres, and a total of
81, 5000 acres of wheat seeded
for the 1888 crop. In view of this
large acreage, therefore, wheat
growers throughout the entire
United States are requested to
make a reduction of II percent in
acreage from the 1888 allotment in
their seeding this fall, and for COM
plying with this acreage reduction
farmers will receive a benefit pay
ment amounting to the acreage al
lotment times the average yield
per acre over period of approx
imately ten years times 26 cents a
bushel. This payment will be in
ADDITION TO any SO1l-DulIdlng pay
ments which are earned by follow
ing recommended soil improvement
practices during the year. It is
impossible to state at this time
when this field inspection for 1888
will be completed, as the county
committee has considerable
amount of work to do in checking
over these compliance reports. In
the 1887 agricultural conservation
progra mthere were 1882 applica-
tions in Kent county approved for
payment, with a total benefit pay
ment amounting to S133, 1865,
and it is expected that about twice
this number of farms will be in
cluded in the 1888 program in this
county.

MIDDLETOWN BOND ISSUE
Citizens Vote For Bond Issue to
Completely Modernize IL


Voters Wednesday of last week
overwhelmingly approved a S15,-
900 bond issue to help defray the
cost of a S59,9O project to mod
ernize and enlarge the municipal
power and water works. OF the
1877 persons casting ballots, 194
favored the bond issue and only
three opposed. The total vote was
2,291 to As. Each taxpayer was
entitled to one vote for each dollar
paid in taxes. The bond issue is
dated September 1, 1888, bearing
interest of 3 per cent per year and
maturing in annual installments of
$4,000 from 1885 to 1857. From
the light and water department
funds $4,000 will be added, which
together with $4,000 federal
grant, will cover the estimated
cost. In the past seven years
electrical consumption has more
than doubled, and the present
equipment is being worked almost
to capacity to supply present needs.
The proposed improvements include
new engine and modernization of
two of the old ones, digging a
new well, as an addition to the
present two, purchase Of necessary
pumping equipment, pressure fit
ers, aerators, chlorinator, and en-
largingg of the building. Accord
ing to the announcement of Mayor
and Council, there will be no in
crease in either taxes or light or
water rates.

it broke in dozen pieces.
At that Hulda cried out. The
witch slipped up the chimney like
black shadow and Santa and Mrs
Santa came popping out of their
bedroom in billoWing, flannel night
gowns.
What happened?" shouted Santa.
1000, such q horrible old woman,
and look at the baby doll" shivered
Hulda, pointing to the floor. Good
gracious!" said Mrs. Santa as she
picked up the pieces of the doll ever
so gently.
What did the witch look like?"
asked Santa.
Hulda described her, and when
she said she wore a red kerchief
over her head Santa said. "Oh, that
kind of witch. She's somebody's
evil spirit. If she were one of the
Witch Queens people she would
wear a peaked hat"
"She went up the chimney" said
Hulda.
We'll, she won't come down again
this night" said the captain Of the
tin soldiers, and he stationed his
whole company on the hearth. =.
Santa, please AK this little doll
said Mrs. Santa. So Santa lit a
dozen candles on his work bench
and put the broken doll togethe,
again as good as new. But Hulds
could see he was worried. He KEEP,

my gracious. my gracious Santa
kept crying as he rushed around the
toyshop shutting windows and latch

did it that old crow on the Christ
mas tree kept croaking, Trouble,
trouble"
Dolls covered their faces with
their tiny hands. Fairies f1uttered
about peering out windows. Gnomes
picked up hammers and looked for
something to hit, but they couldn't
see anything to tackle. The tin
soldiers whipped out swords and
tried to look very brave. but their
knees ratified together. Hulda's big
blue eyes were large as quarters.
She sat still and held tight to Mrs.
Santa's plump hand. What is it?"
she asked.
"Oh, dear" said Mrs. Santa, that
old crow always warns us when
there's witch in the neighbor-
hood"
Santa held out his hand for the
crow, and the old bird Topped down

asked Santa. Trouble, trouble"
croaked the crow.
"Oh, dear" said Mrs. Santa,
those are the only two words he
knows We ask him for more every
time, but he just croaks, Trouble,
! trouble"
The whole evening passed that
way. Hardly any one ate his supper
of little apple pancakes and honey.
The pancakes just stuck in every
body's throat. Finally it was 8
o'clock and the smallest dolls were
nodding sleepily 50 everybody went
OF to bed, even Hulda, whose pretty
new bed was placed in the ingle-
nook next to the fireplace. The new
twins were put to bed in the doll
nursery in two little cradles that ex-
actly matched.
For an hour or SO Hulda lay look
ing at the pink shadows of the dying
fire in the fireplace. The North Star
wandered by on his nightly round
and stopped to peek into the win
dows. He winked at Hulda when
he saw her awake and then went on.
: A little later Hulda saw something
that made her duck her head under
the sheet. Out of the fireplace flew
the ugliest little woman you can
imagine riding a broomstick. She
was thin and yellow. Her gray hair
struggled over her shoulders Her
dress was a dirty brown and over
her head was wrapped red 'ker-
chief. Her hands, clinging to the
broomstick, looked like claws.
1t was the mean Queens witch
but Hulda didn't recognize her be-
cause the fairies had made her forget
her home 50 she wouldn't feel too
lonesome.
She slipped along the edge of the
floor looking here and there, going
so softly that no one but Hulda
heard her. She tweaked the toes of
a sleeping black velvet monkey so
hard he jumped in his sleep. She
took a sword from the side of a
sleeping tin soldier and bent it in
two. She threw a holly wreath into
the fire.
Hulda peeked from under the
sheets, and held her breath as the
witch crept by her bed. Then the
witch did something terrible. She
reached into = doll crib, picked up
