Local Farmers Bag Top
Delaware SoybeanA Awards

What does it take to produce
outstanding soybean yields DUR
ing a year when extremely dry
weather has reduced overall
Delaware yields by 20per cent?
That's the question farmers
might be asking Charles Stats,
Jr., Smyrna. after he was
crowned Delaware's "Soybean
King" for 1862 at the 54th an
nual Delaware State Crop Show
in Dover Tuesday night (Nov-
ember 10y.
Stats won top honors in the
Delaware Crop Improvement
Associations annual soybean
yield contest with a yield of
52.2 bushels per acre. This,
despite generally adverse
weather, was only Al bushels
per acre below the yield of
oo.9 recorded for 1861 by j..
Clifford Rhoades and his son,
James E. Rhoades of Middle
town, but l0.4 bushels below the
all-time record for Delaware
set in 1855 by Mike Witomski
of Viola.
Professor Claude Phillips,
chairman of the agronomy de-
partment, University of Del
aware, crowned Stats and pre-
sented awards to IA others, all
members of the 40-bushel soy
bean club.
According to DR.. Bill Nit
chell, extension agronomist,
Stats success was probably
due to the fact he planted mar
row, 29-inch rows instead of the
traditional wider row and used
the nigh yielding Kent variety.

age rooms. One of the basket
ball courts may be used as an
indoor tennis court. In addit-
ion to these athletic facilities,
the new construction will also
provide the School with an all
new music department. A large
rehearsal room, four practice
rooms, a teaching studio and
instrument and music storage
rooms will be located on one
floor of the gymnasium.
The new indoor athletic plant
is the elimination of a four-year

committee composed of VIII

and Davis A. Washburn. Board
ing schools of a size and phil
osophy similar to St. Andrews
we're consulted and the whole
project received special at
tention from the College of
Physical Education and Athlet-
les of the Pennsylvania State
University. The study was es-
pecially concerned with the
place of athletics In the total
development of the boy and the
proper relation of sports to
other aspects of education. The
new facilities are designed to
provide every studentwith daily
participation In an athletic pro-
gram = interscholastic or in

'ical needs and talents.
Robert A. Moss, Headmaster
of St. Andrews School, COM
mented as follows: ''The new
gymnasium represents another
step forward In the growth of
St. Andrews. For several years
the gym has been too small to
provide our students with an
adequate athletic program In the
winter, and 1t has been espec-
tally cramped for visiting
teams and spectators. The new
facilities will save time in the
school day by permitting the
whole School to exercise at once
and they will also permit the
development of a full scale pro-
gram of recreational and carry

play on varsity teams. AT the

CrOupViews
Relics at
Fire House

Colorful and picturesque
facts about the early days of the
Citizens Hose Company salted
the talk given by E. Reynolds
Bradley, fire chief at a meeting
of the Duck Greek Historical
Society held at the fire house
Sunday night.
The first meeting to organize
was held on Jan. 6, 1886, with
II charter members naming
Samuel Taylor as chief, and
Burton D. Weldon, president.
Dues we're collected from each
member at the rate of TWO cents
per week. A public subscription
for funds resulted In 1901, and
a hose cart and ladder wagon,
pulled by hand, we're purchased.
The charter for the first cor
poration of the company was
granted by an act of Legislature
at Dover, dated Jan. l9, 1887.
On Dec. 29, 1887 a fire bell was
hung In Town Hall.
In 1904 arrangements we're
made with Ben Turner to use
his team to pull the fire quip-
ment with horses. The White
Rose Minstrels we're presented
first In 1905 to raise funds, and
were continued for several
years.
In 1916. after decision to use
mechanical equipment. an
American La France Triple
Combination Fire engine, g.
cylinder was purchased.
Warner W. Price, Sr., was
elected chief driver; Clement
Sapp, Wallace Elterich, and
Harry Turner, assistant dri-
vers. They decided not to leave
the fire house until at least
five men we're on hand"
They had the first out of town
fire on Dec. II, 1916 at the re-
