Farm G. Home Week
Only The Highlights Are

But Report In Chron-

That Respect.

The 1860 Farm and Home Week
at the University of Delaware was
put to rest Thursday evening, Feb.
IL, when the last session ended.
Many topics were covered during
the week and many kinds of infor-
nation were made available to
visitors.
This report mentions only few
OF the highlights of the program,
but is the most complete carried
by any other weekly newspaper
on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Poultry Outlook
DIR. w. E. Mcdaniel, chairman
of the University's agricultural
economics department, summar-
ized the outlook for poultry and
eggs in 1860. Broilers-Delaware's
number one agricultural crop
may experience some downward
price pressure in late March and
April as a result of heavier chick
placings at the beginning of the
year. Hatcherymen, encouraged by
sharp increases in broiler prices
in December, have set more eggs
since that time than they did in
the corresponding period a year
ago.
Turkey prices probably will re-
main firm for the first half of
1860 due to the fact that the jan
uary l storage stock was seven
per cent lower than a year ago.
Prices in the last half of the
year may average lower than in
the similar period of 1859 due to
heavier hatchings responding to
the favorable mid-December
prices. Mcdaniel said turkey prices
were the highest in d-December

Smith: While the other coun-

John went out and bought
corn from the Indians. He
must have given them a little
of his own corn in exchange,
because he was captured by
Chief Powhatan and con-
demned to die.
Powhatan decided to find
out what the white man was
using for brains. so he
ordered his men to get two
huge round rocks and to arm
themselves with big fat clubs.
Capt. Smith put his head
on the rocks and a few braves

with clubs. They were ready
to drive all romantic thoughts
