STATE RICH
In ITS CROPS
Farmers Have Cause For
Genuine Thanksgiving
This Year
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Nov. 3.-Thanksgiving
month is here and the people of Della
ware rejoice in the occupancy of such
a favored land. it has been a mild
year-scarcely any winter-not more
than a few weeks of severe winter
weather. Everything that can be
grown in temperate zone is being
grown In Delaware.
The little State seems to have new
soil facilities to be discovered every
year. No section Of fertile agricul-
tural land anywhere possesses the pos
sibilities. The planter simply fertil-
ICES, plants waters and cultivates-
and there ts very little watering that
is not done by nature.
Situated in the very centre OF pos
sibility, of fertility, the people Of CEN
tral Delaware are looking forward to
q wonderful new year in 1910.
Farmers from other States, bringing
thelf peculiar experiences in the grow
iYs Of grapes, apples, plums, nuts po-
S1foes and the cereals, have settled in
delaware and, by learning of the in
h.abitants here the soil conditions.

Vigor in and the State is beginning
TO flourish. Where one apple was pro-
duced ten years ago, five are now being
brought forth for the nourishment and
sustenance of humanity. Where Della
ware grew one potato. ten years ago.
at least six are being produced now
Irish and sweet. Grapes were almost
unknown here ten years ago-except
in a few favored spots-but now they
are becoming the leading small fruit,
with markets all over the continent

every producer for if a man can grow
a weed he can grow a tomato--toma-
toes are fast becoming the great money

mind work, this affords a steady GER
tain income Hard work is an es-
sentlal, but even the millionaire finds
this the case with his work The to-
mato now has steady demand. is
worth living wages to raise, and brings
quick returns.
Corn is becoming vastly more val
liable, and Delaware soil produces corn
when no other state can make a full
crop Twenty eight commercial pro-
ducts are taken from corn. and the
farmer who raises il has beside the
fodder for forage. the short ears oI
nubbins for fattening his hogs, the
hueks for bedding and the cobs fol
fuel.
Delaware has. approximately. 200,
600 acres devoted to corn. this year
and the yield is something above
thirty acres. Thus, raising 100000
bushels this year. the corn crop ha,
been worth SS,OOO,O00 to the farmers

DOVER AGITATES
FOR NEW STATION
Board Of Trade to Have q
Meeting Tonight TO Con-
slider the Subject

speciaI TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, Nov. 4-The Board of
Trade will hold another important
meeting in its rooms in the Priscilla
Block this evening to consider a sub
iect of vital importance TO Dover
a movement for new railroad sta
ton.
Dover's inadequate station has been
brought to the attention Of the Penn
syIvania authorities before, but prob
ably owing to some Observation-Disclosures
the agitation only resulted in the inn
provements at the old station here
which is at least forty years behind
the times.
Dover has and is expending over $780,
900 for improvements, including the
new state capitol buildings and new
private residences. In this improve
ment work alone, il is claimed. nearly
$4,000 has or is being turned over TO
the railroad company in freight alone.
Beside this, the freight and passenger
traffic which the company enjoys to
and from Dover is very large, the coal
freights alone amounting TO $4,000 a
year.
Dover enjoys an excellent train SER
vice. day and night, and this, together
with the state and county business
transacted here. causes a congestion
about the railroad station every even
ing and early morning.
Dover is the home of Manlove Hayes
the pioneer Delaware Railroad man.
who though 80 years old, is still the
secretary Of the. Delaware Railroad. il
was also the home of George Y. Mas
sey. nowthe general solicitor Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. It is believed
4 that as a monument to these two Dover
men, the Pennsylvania Railroad could
well afford to construct a fine modern
station here commensurate with the
splendid development of Dover during
the last few years.

TOBACCO CROP IS
WORTH MILLIONS
Delaware Farmers Interested
in the Success in New En-
gland States

Many Delaware farmers are greatly in
terested in the glowing reports Of tobac-
co growing IN Massachusetts, and because
Of the success in the New England States,
and In some nearby counties In Pennsyl-
vania It is likely that tobacco growing
may be attempted on an elaborate scale
in Delaware.
A record tobacco crop IN point OF re-
turns TO the farmer has been harvested
in New England. While It is true that
the prices obtained per pound for the ia
nous 1892 yield viii not be equaled by
this seasons crop. and also true that tho
1907 tobacco acreage exceeded that Of
either this year or last, the fact re-
mains that increased acreage as COM
pared with 1892 will bring the aggregate
value OF this years crop we'll above that
OF 1892 and that the higher price OF the
1900 crop. as compared with the yield
OF 1907. insures returns a third larger
than those OF 1907
Conservative estimates are that tn
1900 acre crop Of New England to
bacco will yield the growers betweer

"a. 100000 of this amount will go TO Con-

HAM CROP STARTS
WASHINGTON WAR
Hungry Editorial Writer Start
ed the Trouble by Writing
an Editorial on How to
Cook Ham

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.--About the big
gest war on record in Washington since
the famous Jubal Early defeat at Fort
Stevens. is being waged around the ham
crop Of the United States. The war like
all OF its predecessors in history began
in a small way from a comparatively in
significant cause. A hungry editorial
writer on a newspaper appeased his ap-
petite by writing a short editorial on the
oost way to cook a Virginia ham. His
ideas did not coincide with a man who
likes Smithheld ham In his own way,
and a letter 20 the editor followed
Ham letters have been coming in
punches. Advocates of the Virginia ham
got TO fighting among themselves. One
man would write OF the virtues Of a hog
fed exclusively on English ohestnuts an
other favored the succulent goober berry
or peanut as a porcine diet, stin another
pinned his faith to acorns. Another Vir-
glnian advocated turning the hog loose
and letting him feed himself.
All was going merrily untn Mrs. Champ
clark. wife Of the Democratic leader IN
the house, got it.
Down with Virginia hamr' quoth Mrs.
Clark. ''The real place for ham, also hog
and hominy. Is Missouri"
This letter brought a deluge. A man
from Georgia wrote about the razorbacb
hogs, a North Carolinian told OF tho
absurdity Of the Virginia ham cure and
argued that a ham cured with hickory
rhips could not compare with one cured
over the Goals Of corncobs. And so it
went until an Indiana man boasted of the
Hoosier hog and Chicago man put in
a bid for Phil Armour. Tho war Is still
on. with Senor Gonzales Quesada former
minister from Cuba, advancing Cuba &
army of hogs to capture the honors."
