include the Eldon Big-4 Fair Almost
too much entertainment to crowd into

comp for the carnival or that Ring

eide to do likewise No, there Is no
horse sale this week, though this is
our regular week.
We made break Of three weeks
this time because the next sale, on
September 10-11. Is our Big Fall Spec

BERRY PICKING
ON IN EARNEST

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. May 19-Sunday and
Mondays sunshine and balmy air
provd so exhilarating to Delaware
Strawberries that the work of picking
in central Delaware has begun. Tile
Excelsior berries will be the first to
be offered to the markets. They were
ripening nicely late this afternoon. The
Excelsior is a large and bright berry,
particularly in the patches where great
care and plenty of fertilizer has been
expended on their growth. They re-
paw the hard work Of the grower by
coming suddenly into market form
about a week ahead of other varieties.
The next large variety to ripen will
be the Bubach. but these apparently
will not be ripe for another two weeks.
