BIG CROPS OF ALL
FRUITS LIKELY
Nav Be a GIut in Local
Market
Farm Produce Plentiful Today Ship,
mentS Of Delaware Strawberries
Have Begun

Despite the cold weather, the truck
gardens. orchards and farms in New
Castle county continue to flourish and
give every sign Of big crop for the
coming season. Although the vegetable
growth has not been as fast as ex-
Dected. but one week of warm weather
will make everything sprout.
Farmers and growers who retail
their products here say there is going
to be a glut in the local market later
in the season. The price of produce
is rather high, but when the season
opens and the full crop is thrown on
the market, they will take a big drop
and there will be an overflow.
Last year the farmers did not plant
their entire acreage and as a conse-
auence they sold their whole crop.
This encouraged them and this year
they have put out more acreage, think
ing they could dispose of the products
as easily as last year.
The goods are perishable and will
have to be disposed of, otherwise they
will be wasted on the hands of the
dealer.
The prices asked today in this mar
ket were about the same as on Satur-
day. Apples, tomatoes. new potatoes,
Strawberries and peas all looked very
nice and fresh and seem to be plenti-
full
Women seen in market yesterday
carried big baskets Of products from
the farm and very little beef was
purchased.
The first Delaware strawberres ap.
peared in the local markets yesterday
and, although they were not as fine as
they will be later on, they found ready
purchasers. One thousand quarts
were shipped from Laurel, and larg,
quantities came from SeafOrd and Del.
mar.

WORK ON ADDITION TO
, FREIGHT HOUSE BEGUN
There Will be a New Yard As Well,
Which Will Afford More
ROOE

Workmen began this morning to build
the new addition to the Pennsylvania
freight house. The plans which have
been drawn call for a building thirty-iive
feet wide and 1872 feet long. 1t will be
one story nigh and will afforu consider
able storage room.
Officials Of the company had planned
to join the old building with the new one
but to do this the lower part Of Spruce
street would have to be taken in and the
city would not allow such to be done.
The new structure will run out to the
Pennsylvania tracks from Spruce street
and from Fourth street to the side tracks,
which are already in the freight yard.
These tracks will not be moved but will
remain and the new building will be
erected over lhem. Platforms will be
built on both sides of the centre rails
and those on the Third street side will
be used from one side only.
For Fruits and Vegetables
The new freight house will be used as
an auxiliary shed and will be used for
general purposes, but in particular to
handle the large fruit and vegetable ship
ments which come into the yard during
the season. The goods are all pershable
and must be handled at once. The regu-
lar business somewhat prevents this, so
the auxiliary shed viii be erected. 1t
will be used until the new freight house
is opened.
New Yard Started
The additional building on the grounds
will necessarily take up some of the
track room where cars should be al
lowed TO stand until taken TO the shed.
a new yard has been started and the
tracks are being laid for it along Church
street from Fourth to Fifth. This yard
will contain three tracks with a drive
way between for unloading purposes, and
will hold about sixteen cars.
At present the new yard is full Of rail
road material. This will be removed to
the new store house which is on the
south side of the round house.

SAY PUNISHMENT
WAS TOO SEVERE

College Students
CONFERENCE TO BIZ Held
Meeting Of Bows 10 Which Parents
Are Invited 10 be Held To-
morrow Morning
CONFERENCE TO DE Held

George w. Marshall, Of Milford. Dan
lel w. Corbit, OF Odessa, and j. III. uos-
singer Of Newark. trustees of Delaware
College, held q conference withthe facuIt,
yesterday. After the meeting Mr.. Hossin-
ger approached some OF the bows and ask-
ed them If they would return TODAY 10
lheir accustomed routine if the periods OF
suspension were reconsidered and mnde
one week instead OF two and three as
originally pronounced. The boys met and
rejected this offer. The sentiment in
Newark appears 10 be with the students.
Think Sentence Too Severe
In speaking Of the matter today ono
Of the young men said: IL do not think
the people quite understand our position.
We do not claim the men suspended We're
not guilty Of hazing, but we do say the
punishment was too severe. 1t has been
known to the faculty for years that haz-
ing was INDUCED in by tho students.
The faculty knew this and did not try to
stop it. The punishment in this case was
too severe
III the hazers had been called before
the faculty, reprimanded and told That
hazing was to be abolished then we
would have known what we were TO ex-
pect in the future"
Many Of the boys received kilograms
and letters from home yesterday. The
parents told the young men that they
were in the wrong and while some adj
vised that they had better stand by the
student body, the majority told them TO
90 back TO their recitations.
Threats have been made against Pro-
fessor Brown, brother of the student
hazed. Some Of the boys have said they
will duck him in the creek near Newark
Members OF the faculty do not believ,
the threats will be put in execution.
The grounds around the college pre-
sented n deserted appearance this morn
ing and the boys are missed by the town
nnnnle.

Annual Reports Heard


The annual reports gave a recapitula-
tiOn of the work of the various classes
and committee Of the year just closed,
and which has been printed in full in the
newspapers.
Mrs. Vandegrift, chairman Of the Ex-
eCutive Committee, reviewed the lectures
and entertainments of the winter. She
said that the fact Of the majority of
members favoring evening instead Of af-
ternoOn lectures, which was voted on at
the April meeting, demonstrated that the
members wanted to be amused rsther
than instructed; that it was noticeable
that the instructive evening ! etures
were not so largely attended as those of
an amusing nature. She did not an
nounce what course the committee would
pursue during the next club season.
Mrs Margaret T. Hill for the Philan-
thropy Committee reported that the chief
work of that committee was the placing
of magazines and other periodicals; also
sending a large box to the Delmar fire
sufferers.
Miss Mary Davis Sissons in reviewing
the work of the Circulating Library
Committee. said that the work had
proved more successful in New Castle
than in Kent or Sussex counties. The
chief drawback is not knowing the style
of literature wanted by the people, and
the delay in returning the libraries
The report Of Miss Mary A. II.
Mather, chairman Of the Reading Section
was extremely interesting and showed
that a remarkable amount of standard
literature had been read by the members
during the winter months. This prom
ises to be one Of the most interesting
features Of the coming year.
