FARMING SHIFTS
TO SUIT DEMAND
Delaware Farming Not Slip
ping, But Adjusting to
Meet Market Demand
FREIGHT is TARIFF

On first glance at the contents
of the new Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station Bulletin 230, it
appears that Delaware farming
might be slipping. For the bulle-
tin, prepared by c. E. Burkhead of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
tural Marketing Service, and DR..
R. o. Bausman, agricultural econ
omist for the Delaware Station,
shows that during the past 75
years, annual production of corn in
the State has slumped from around
100000 to about 100000 acres.
Similar decreases in production are
indicated for wheat, butter, wool
and pork. But DIR. Bausman ex-
plains that the decreases in produc-
ton for certain products is simply
one sign of changes in crops being
made by Diamond State farmers.
Farmers are actually adjusting
their enterprises to produce those
crops and livestock products for

and corn and other products for
European gold. 1t means better
prices for our farmers, and they
will have money to spend on neces-
sites and luxuries.
The materials for heating the
Public School by steam have ar
rived, and the work viii be prose-
cuted as fast as possible. Mr.. Mill
er has his head plumber here, and
will have three more men here the
first part o fthe week, who are now
getting out part of the piping in
Wilmington. The boiler is expect
ed here the first part of next week.
Walter c. Jones and his helper
have been employed by Mr.. Miller
to assist in the work.
The Presbyterian Church is for
tunate in being able to secure a
date for the Scott Recitals and
they will be given in the Opera
House on the evening of November
End. This will give our citizens
an opportunity of hearing two of
the very best elocutionists in the
country as Mr.. and Mrs. Scott are
said to have no rivals in their
special work. They are engaged
in all the largest lecture courses in
the union and cannot under any cir
cumstances be heard here again
this season.
George A. Hall lost a horse very
suddenly last week. He was five
miles from town in Kenton Hun
dred when all at once his horse
suddenly fell dead in an instant.
He made arrangements with a
farmer to have it hauled to field,
and was fortunate in catching a
townsman who was passing by, to
get himself and vehicle home. The
animal was the driving horse of the
late Samuel Reynolds, and the
singular coincidence was that both
without a moments warning should
drop suddenly dead.
Considering the numerous enter
tainments of one kind or another
the past two or three weeks, Her
man Roe was greeted by a good
audience at the Opera House on
Friday night, to hear his lecture
Under the Cross of st. George, "
the lecture getting its title from
the British flag which covers SO

Concrete Made With Mica

RALEIGH, N. C.-Concrete that
can be sliced with handsaw and
punctured with an ordinary driven
nail is being tested by the ceramics
department of North Carolina State
college.
During the recent Engineers fair
at the college. William A. Scholes,

strated the new materials versatil-
ity by several tests with ordinary
carpenters tools.
Scheles drove several nails into a
block of the new concrete, which is
made with vermiculite instead of
sand. The block didn't split and the
nails didn't bend.
He then sawed it into small Sec
tions with a handsaw. There were
no cracks and the edges were
smooth.

From then on the story has been
hard work and large amount of
ingenuity. AS the business stands
today, Jan Norriss has registered
material called "Life-Ply," a COM

flourishing business and the Jan

Surgeons now send cases to her

ing able to hide birthmarks and
scars that have psychologically
handicapped men and women. She
even fashions hands for people with
malformed hands. The British Gov
ernment wants to lease her patent

scar coverings and she would like to
give it to the United States but, so

Cosmopolitan, Robert Wilder re-
lates the saga of typical New
York case of young man, well es-
tablished in business who suddenly
loses that business and can't find
another job in a hurry. When that
happened to the Norrisses, things
looked black. During an attack OF
influenza, Jan Norriss took the last
dime out of her purse, sent for ten
cents of plaster of paris and mod
elled little medallions just to keep
her mind off disturbing items such
as rent, food, gas, electricity.
Here enters the lack of know
ledge angle. Had Mrs. Norriss real
lied how many sculptors and
artists are starving romantically
right in New York she would prob
ably never have taken her medal
lions to the Grand Central Art
Galleries. But she did and the head
of the galleries liked them. So did
the gentleman in charge of dis
play at Municipal Art Project
exhibition. He liked them so much
