OPENS BIG BUSINESS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, June 11-At an en-
thusiastic meeting of strawberry
growers held at the state Board of
Agriculture headquarters last evening,
plans were discussed for making Kent
county a great strawberry growing
centre, TO plant uniform varieties so
that they might be shipped to the dis
tant markets in carload lots.
Ebe Walter. Jr., of the Delaware
Produce Exchange, appeared before
the meeting and declared that while
the exchange had been getting better
prices and wider markets for the Kent
county fruit. yet it had been handi-
capped in this way: Correspondents
from Ohio. Indiana or New York
would make inquiry for berries and
ask what varieties they had to offer.
What variety? What variety? This
seemed to be the prevailing question.
"Well we could not tell them what
variety. we had no particular variety
10 SELL" declared Mr. Walter, there
fore we had to sell and consign them
as best we could as mixed varieties
Several contributions would come in
for the carloads from Dover, from
Viola and from Harrington, but they

Of another, and not enough of any one
kind TO make up a carload"
I'm reply to questions, Mr. Walter
said that in his opinion. no berry has

late strawberries They stand firm
and remain bright and marketable.

ture there of. as to what early. inter
mediaet and late Strawberries may he
most proftably grown in this county

The general feeling was that the way
to a great early fruit business had
been opened by the Delaware Produce
Exchange. Several farmers present
exhibited their exchange checks, show
ing receipts of from five to eight cents
per quart for stra wberries. net. r. A.
Evans was authorized to organize a

The Broadway Mems club held its

caston. The annual meeting Is the

vited by the members, and the fair
sex was well represented last even
ing. The banquet was prepared and
served by the men themselves and
they were Justly proud OF their eff
forts when all who partook of it voted
it a great success In a culinary way.
The election of officers for the COM
close of the program which followed
the supper and it resulted in the
following selections:
President-A. D. Sperry.
Vice president-C. D. McLane
Secretary-treasurer- S. Parks
(neelected.)
A. D. WEIGH, the retiring presi-
dent, made a short talk before Civ
ing up his Office In which he thanked
his fellow members of the club for
the aid extended him in making the
affairs of the club successful during
his term Of office. w. s. Parks, sec
rotary and treasurer of the club, had
left a sick bed to be present at the
annual meeting, and at his own re-
quest he was excused from making
his annual report because of the late
ness of the hour and because he had
been unable to properly prepare it.
Judge Graves Talks.
The program given in connection
with the banquet and election con-
sisted of an address by Judge E. G.
Graves of-the circuit court and sew
eral original poems by E. S. Kind
ley, principal of the Silvis schools.
The judges announced topic was
what We Owe Ourselves and How
We Pay It." but as he said himself
he did not stick very close to his
subject. Instead he branched out
and treated on the evils which sur
round the religious, social and po-
1itical life of the nation. He lament
ed the existence of SO many differ
ent creeds and religious beliefs and
expressed a belief that the general
teaching of Christ was what had to
be followed in order to gain the de-
sired admittance to heaven, and that
the special forms, services and doc
trines which distinguished the diff
ferent sects were merely embellish-
ments of the true faith.
The chief of the social evils touch
ed upon by the speaker was the one
which makes practically every one
slave to ancestry, inasmuch as ones
tree and family purse are MS
for entrance into po-
lite society. Judge Graves spoke of
the people today as ''going through
the world with their headlights on
behind as he said they looked back
wards instead of forward. In an at
tack upon the political life of today,
the Judge said that what is needed
more than anything else is live is
