sist dairy farmers to remedy this
situation by suggesting certain grass
and clover mixtures along with the
fertilization Of permanent pastures.
For those dairymen who do not have
enough hay each year for their live
stock, now is the time to SOW alfalfa,
but care should be taken to plant this
crop on well-drained land which is
also well supplied with lime and or
ganic matter. Farmers are caution
ed against the use OF foreign alfalfa
seed which is not adaptable to this
section, and should use only the
Kansas-Nebraska or northwestern
grown seed.
Within the past several months
there has been considerable interest
among dairy farmers in Delaware re-
garding the use OF grass and legume
silage which serves to carry dairy
cattle over that period in late sum-
mer when pasture crops frequently
are short and inadequate for all
practical purposes. In view of this
interest in this new kind of silage the
agricultural extension service of the
University of Delaware has prepared
a brief circular outlining the advan-
tages and disadvantages OF this sill
age and the method of filling the
silO.
One Of these circulars may be OBJ

circus to provide air-cOnditioneC

Six Of the most highly educated
bucking. riding and bronco horses
are the features OF the Buck Steele
Wild West Show that winds up the
circus proper. This show includes
Argentine whip dozers who use a
4O-foOt whip like an artist uses a
brush.
And last but not least, for the ben
eft Of the children and grown up
kids who never fail to get a kick out
OF clever circus clowns, is Charles
Mitcell and his Hippodrome clowns,
with their newest and most modern
stunts in the realm OF clowndom.
William Wallet, the Mae West Of
the sawdust ring, will appear in a
bareback riding act supreme.
Hunts three ring circus will show
in Milford for one day only, Wednes-
DAY September 4, afternoon at 2 D.
M, and night at s p. m. on the Wal
nut street circus lot.
II is this year making its 4Sth
tour, Hunts circus has the
unique distinction of being the old
est circus in the world owned and
in person for 4s cOnsecu-
tive years. It is the only circus
which has not changed its name,
ownership or title in nearly one half
century.
Hunts Circus was recognized in
the National Capital last year when
a special bill, signed by the Presi- |
dent. permitted it to show in several
locations in Washington.
The program this year is said to
be the finest ever offered by this
old established circus and features
among its numbers beautifully train
ed horses and ponies, also two of the
finest and best trained elephants in
America.

The fact Mr.. Colt received the en-

mean he will be unopposed in the
election at the coming state con
yention. Some few years ago, New
Castle county set a precedent when
their endorsed candidate was de-
feated BY another who was nomi-
mated from the floor Of the conven-
ton, officials recalled.
President Fletcher Truax presided
over the 117th session OF the Kent
association, and at roll call all com
panies were present except Milford.
County Fire Recorder Baker laid
stress on the Importance Of sending
In fire records. He also urged the
starting Of an educational campaign
among the farmers in each district
asking them to place straw stacks
farther away from buildings. In
most cases Of straw stack fires the
firemen, because of lack Of water,
have a hard fight to keep nearby
buildings from catching ilre, he said.
The association voted to donate
$40 to the state convention commit
tee for parade prizes.
Chief Baker offered a resolution,
that was carried. placing the county
