MIDDLETOWN, DEL., SEP. 23, 1905.
A UNITED PARTY NEAR
The past week has seen quite
advance in the movement to
• unite the two Republican parties
into one. The Republican (both
Union and Regular) editorial
writers of the State held two
meetings, one on Friday and one
Tuesday, both well attended,
and agreed to unite in a move
ment to secure, first, the filling
of the existing vacancy in the
United States Senate, ami, sec
ond, -party re-organization,
first of these can be secured only
by the action of * the General
Assembly in special convention,
and with the consent and votes of
twenty-seven Republican mem
bers. This vacancy is now, and
has been for more than ten years,
the bone of contention, tlie split
of thé party coming as a result of
the refusal of four members of
the General Assembly of 1895 to
abide by the action of and join
with the other fifteen Republican
membei's and choose a senator.
Since the vacancy is the cause
of tlie split, the natural remedy
is, remove the cause. An im
portant factor to be considered
in this connection is that with
two senators to be chosen by the
next General Assembly,the"com
mon enemy" will be united. With
only one senatorship in view, the
Democratic aspirants will fight
it out themselves and harmony
will not prevail in their ranks.
As to the second proposition,
we do not believe that there are
a handfulof Republicans opposed
to a re-organization. Of course,
there are differences of opinion
as to ways and means, ranging
from those Republicans who say
"we are right and the only way
to have one party is for the
Union Republicans to surrender
their organization and come back
into the party" to those Union
Republicans who say "For ten
years we have been extending
an invitation for you to come in
to our fold and you can do it
now." We do not concur in either
of these opinions. We believe
that a way can be arranged for
an equitable re adjustment of
party affairs. We do not pre
tend to set up any cut and dried
plan, for we know that this re
adjustment can only be secured
by compromise. But where the
will is, a way can be found.
One of the serious obstacles to
be overcome will be that of ap
portionment. The Republican
State Convention consists of 160
delegates, 40 from the city of
Wilmington, 38 from rural New
Castle Couuty, 40 from Kent and
42 from Sussex Counties. This
was made in 1866 and repre
sented at that time the propor
tion of population. The growth
of the city of Wilmington since
has thrown this apportionment
basis all wrong. The Union
Republican State Convention
consists of 185 delegates based
on 5 delegates from each Repre
sentative District, with 10 addi
tional delegates accorded the
city. If the apportionment of
Representatives by the Consti
tution were fair, or even approx
imately so, the Union Republi
cans would be more nearly right
than the others. But, as it is, in
their convention, Blackbird Hun
dred with 125 Republicans, bas
the same representation as St,
Georges with 600 Republicans
or Christiana with 900. But we
believe that common sense and
a desire for party success can
overcome even this obstacle.
The Republican State Com
mittee has been called in session
for to-day and there is no doubt
that a proposition will be formu
lated that will eventually lead
. to one Convention, one State
Committee and one County and
District Committee in each and
every District in the State. It
may not come as quickly as we
desire, but it will come. The
people are in earnest and meet
ings are being held to urge party
leaders on to action. In spite
of this being an off year party
zeal and activity are high, and
even though the leaders might
not be strongly in favor of action
public opinion would force them.
Soch is not the case, however.
The party leaders are in earnest
and desire a coalition of forces,
that shall be just, equitable and
permanent.

"The revelations being made
before the Legislative investiga

which is little less than criminal
blackmail in its worst form.
"The New York Life has
mitted that the officers of the
ciety have contributed $100,000
year for the past six years to
attorney in Albany who looks
after the interests of the New
York Life in the New York Leg

pany did business.

the large companies what must
be said of the others, all of whom
need some sort of the same kind
of protection ? It is not likely
that the New York Life was pay

the others would share.

when that corporation exists and
flourishes through the use of the
money" of people of all political
faiths. There can be no possible
justification for the taking by
corporation officials of other
people's money without their
knowledge and consent for any
purpose ever.
"It is in the case of the ap
propriation of the $100,000 yearly
for protective purposes in the
state legislature nothing other
than the making of the policy

A PRIZE ESSAY
they
the
The following is the essay which was
awarded .the $500 prize offered bv E. W.
Jenkins, of Dover, for the best essay on
the "Preservation of Humus," at the
Grange Fair, lielU at Brandywine Springs,
August 30th, 31st and September 1st, 1905:
The preservation and the introduction
of humus into our soils is one of the fun
damental principles of our farming oper
ations. Where crops have been grown
continuously and no attention is given to
the supply of humus in the soil, whether
commercial fertilizers have beeu or have
not been added, the soil gradually gets
poorer and poorer, until it is finally ex
hausted. A good example of this kind
of farming is in the single cotton growing
sections of the south, where the land gets
so poor they have to abandon it'or turn
it out to let it rest. What is Humus?
Humus is a vague word applied to decay
ing organic matter in the soil. Any soil
to produce good crops must be supplied
with humus and with a sufficient amount
of mineral plant food to meet the require
ments of the plant. The mineral plant
food which is lacking in the soil may be
furnished by using commercial fertilizers.
But to keep the soil supplied with humus
is a harder proposition.
There are two general ways of supply
ing the soil with humus and plant food,
for these two go together, if we supply
humus, we supply plant food also. First,
by plowing under green manure. Sftcond,
by feeding the products of the soil to the
animals of the farm and then returning
the manure to the soil.
Adding humus to the soil bv means of
plowing under green crops has been
steadily gaining favor within the last de
cade, especially among the fruit growers
of this State. The leguminous crops, es
pecially crimson clover are mainly used,
although turnips, rape, oats or any catch
crop may be used that will make growth
while the land is idle, may be used for
this purpose. In this State, crimson clo
ver is used more than any other plant for
green manuring. It may be sown in July
or August iu the orchard or in the corn
field after the last working of the corn, it
will grow through the winter and early
spring and be ready to turn under in late
April or early May. The leguminous
plants are used whenever possible, on ac
count of their being able to extract nitro
gen from the air, through the nodules on
the wots and store it in the plant. Just
how much nitrogen the plant gets from
the soil and how much from the air is not
known. A ton of green crimson clover
will contain about 8.6 lbs. of nitrogen, 2.6
lbs of phosphoric acid and 9.8 lbs of pot
ash. If we value the nitrogen at 15 cents
per pound, the phosphoric acid at "cents
and the potash at 4j cents, we have the
fertilizing constituents of a ton of crim
son clover valued at $3.59.
The second method of adding humus
to the soil, by the addition of stable
manure is far more complicated, for in
here comes the question of how to han
dle the manure to get it on the land with
the least loss of plant food and the least
amount of labor. At the present day all
seem to agree that the cheapest and best
way is to haul the manure direct to the
field every day as fast as it is made. Then
there can be no loss from leaching or
heating. When the country was youug,
the soil was well filled with humus and
good crops could be harvested without
tlie addition of humus. Manure was re
garded as waste. It was often thrown
into washes, creeks or even burned. In
time, the ground became poor, because
the soil became depleted of humus and
plant food, then the settler cleared other
laud, working westward all the while.
This kind of farming is what has ruined
the South and the East. At the present
day they are beginning to keep more
stock and are trying to improve these
lands by the addition of humus.
In this county, New Castle, where
every farm lias its dairy, the supply of
humus is returned to the soil in the ma
The hay and grain are fed to the
animals on the farm and the concentrated
feeding stuffs which are bought increase
the value of the manure. A ton of wheat
bran contains about 52 lbs. of nitrogen.
56 of phosphoric acid and 32 of potash.
If we value the nitrogen at 15 cents, the
phosphoric acid at 7 cents and the potash
at 41 cents, (the same value as given to
the crimson clover) we find the value of
the fertilizing constituents of a ton of
bran to be worth $13.16.
A ton of cottonseed meal contains 135.8
lbs. nitrogen, 57.6 lbs. of phosphoric acid
and 17.4 lbs. of potash,
the same value as given to the crimson
clover and the bran, we find the fertiliz
ing constituents of a ton of cottonseed
meal to be worth $25.18.
The amount of this fertilizing material,
which is returned to Jhe soil will

Now the question is: Which is the
cheaper way to supply humus? By green

until well on in the spring, to make a
good crop and then a ton of green crimson

Mrs. Mary Stewart Cutting, the author

October number another of her

little domestic drama in which the neigh

straightened out in the light of big hap
penings which help husband and wife, as
well as the neighbors, to a re-adjustment
