DELAWARE FORGING WAY AHEAD
Farmers Are Making the Best of Del
aware Soil and This Year Corn and
Wheat Show an Increase

The agricultural and horticultural
authorities of this State are deter.
mined to make Delaware forge ahead
of the other States as an agricultural
State, and there are indications now,
that the State is taking front rank.
Corn, particularly, in which the ex-
perts believe Delaware ought to ex-
eel, in proportion to acreage, shows
a decided improvement. The State
is spending money in prizes and in
other ways, in institutes and conven.
tions and importing corn planters
and corn breeders and spending
money at Delaware College and the
result this year is most satisfactory.
Already corn has developed five per
cent. greater than any previous year
and if rains come this week, an in
crease of from one to two bushels to
the acre seems certain. Wheat, ac-
cording to the best authority, the
government Department of Agri-
culture "Crop Bulletin, - shows a
II bushel yield in Delaware this
year as compared to IA bushel yield
last year. In quality too, wheat
from this State gets a rating of 80
as against IA last year. 1t is true
that New York beats Delaware in
the one year results, with a yield of
% ITO bushels for 1910. But the
best reckoning of real value of soil
and real State wide possibilities is to
take the ten year average. This,
as furnished by the 'Crop Report
err" is as follows: New York, IA;
New Jersey, 1873; Pennsylvania,
1876; Delaware, 16; Maryland, 16;
Virginia, 10.6. Some prominent
famers have been advising the masses
of farmers in this State to hold their
wheat FOR SIPS bushel, as there is
general crop shortage taking the
country over. The Department OF
Agriculture information, however,
does not show this to be fact, anC
it is deemed wise, here, for farmers
to sell at one dollar or thereabout;
whenever they can. United States
Specialist Darg, of the Department
of Agriculture has completed hi:
count of the wheat yield, it is be-
lieved, in this State, as the Depart
ment at Washington publishes tn,
statement that Delaware's wheaf
crop has reached zoos, 900 bushels,
as compared with !, ,642, 900 last year
an increase of about $50, 600 bushels

add another teacher to the faculty
to have charge of a primary grade
to be taken from the room of Miss
Julia Griffith which heretofore has
been overcrowded. In order to do
this the Board is obliged to pro-
vide another room and with this idea
in mind they submitted plans for
raising the back wing of the School
Building to another story which will
enable the High School department
to occupy the whole third floor in
Guiding the Assembly Room which
for several years has been used as
High School Department. This
will probably necessitate a change
about in all rooms by each school
moving up room so as to provide a
room on the first floor for the little
tots of the primary grades. After
comparing specifications and bids
for doing the work, the School Board
Monday evening awarded the con-
tract for putting another story on
the back wing to Esley M. Rust, the
well-known lumber dealer and con-
tractor of Smyrna. The project will
cost about $500. Mr.. Rust expect
! to have the work completed and
/ turned over to the School Board
about the first of October.
In the meantime the primary
grades will have to occupy Miss
Griffith's room. The Board will
meet soon to elect another primary
teacher for which position they have
a number of applicants. The plar
is to have Miss Griffith take charge
of the kindergarten work for which
she has had special training, and the
new member of the faculty, who il
to be electel, will be the primary
teacher. The change is expected t.
relieve the congested condition
in the lower rooms and at the same
time give the High School pupils tn,
whole third floor for an assembl,
hall and recitation rooms. Prof
Linn B. Earhart, the new principal
is expected here the last week il
August to acquaint himself with hi
duties and to supervise the opening
of the schools which will be on Tues
day, September 9Th.

CANNING SEASON STARTS UP
Hoffecker Factory in Smyrna Begins
Operating Tomorrow Morning

Hoffecker Factory in Smyrna Begins
Operating Tomorrow Morning
The tomato canning season, always
busy time in this vicinity, will
start up this and next week and
from now on until frost will engage
the attention of the many factories
in and about Smyrna. The Smyrna
factory of the John H. Hoffecker
Canning Company will begin opera
tion tomorrow and the factory of
Hoffecker Brothers & Hall at Smyr-
ma Landing will start up about
week later. The factories at Clay
ton, Cheswold, Kenton. Blackbird,
Flemings Landing and other points
nearby will start up within a week
or two. Tomatoes, if we are to take
the reports of the farmers, will not
be as abundant as last year. Con-
servative estimates put the crop at
about half compared with last year.
In fact the acreage in general is
about 25 per cent less than a year
ago. However, the canneries are
preparing for any emergency and
should tomatoes be more plentiful
than reported, the canneries will be
able to handle them.

CHEsWOLD FRUIT SHIPMENTS
Peaches of Good Quality Bring $I.OO
Basket.-Apples and Tomatoes
Shipped in Large Quantities

Cheswold, Aug. 16. - These are
active days on our siding and the
year 1910 is indeed ranking well up
in the list of past fruit years. Each
day last week averaged about tour
cars or twenty-four cars for the
week Of peaches, cantalOupes, toma-
toes, pears and apples received for
various local and distant markets.
The greater interest, however, cen
tered in peaches, which on Friday
rounded out 81 per basket for some
high class fruit. On Monday it was
raining and the prices for peaches
were lower. One car was loaded
with tomatoes at 65 cents and six
carloads were the receipts of the
day of the various products. "Come
out our way, we are having straw
berries every day and enjoying
strawberry shortcake," were the
words addressed by Mrs. M. 4.
Catterson last Sunday to a friend.
She with others are, by some strange
freak in nature, picking the second
crop of strawberries from their
patches, Mr.. and Mrs. R. Nj.
Cooper are also reported to have en-
tertained last week with strawberries
simultaneously with peaches as d
rare early autumn delicacy. If
peaches 60 out as many say they are
to, it would be fine if strawberries
would hold to this present new rule.
Mr.. Kinsey Truitt at Downs Chapel
picked alternate days for shipment
of his second crop.

man becomes a qualified voter.
