BOOM LEWES AS
BERRY CENTER
Government Expert Points
Out Possibilities Of Soil
Development There

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
LEWES. Del, July 26.-Convincing
argument, given by experts Of soil, to
prove that the soil in this section OF
the county is adapted to the growth
Of berries and other small fruit, cou-
pied with the nourishing reports Of
the great income derived from the
berry crops, when the season is fav-
orable in other portions Of the
county will result It is said, In the
trial of their culture here next sea-
son on a larger scale than heretofore.
In regard to this town and surround
ing country, one of the employees Of
the Bureau OF Soils, Washington, D.
c., has the following to say:
"Lewes possesses the nucleus Of
becoming one OF the most prosperous
sea coast cities II its great resources
are properly developed. It's great
scope OF country its situation with
reference to markets, its great variety
Of profitable crops so eagerly sought
for by 20,000O00 Of people so near
by, the great variety of legumes so
easily grown for the maintenance Of
the soils fertility, its most excellent
types Of soil so easily worked, so re-
sponsive and so we'll adapted to the
truck crops and its sturdy class OF
citizens, all give It an advantage pos
sessed by few communities. With
these advantages, its future success
and greatnes will depend entirely
upon its citizens. and If they are am

become a leading center I'm Delaware,
Il will be necessary for them to lend
their utmost support and encourage
ment In the development Of profitable
industries. The success Of one indus
try Is sure TO lead TO the development
OF others.
ITO plant from one to FIVE acres Of
berries will not work a hardship on
any farmer and Il may result in the
best move OF his life. BY developing
the berry industry, as we'll as other
small fruits, around Lewes It would
give enough proof TO warrant the use
of boat between this town and
points up the Delaware bay and river
This would afford a most excellent
outlet for all farm produce at very
low rates which would result In
higher prices to farmers for their
crops"
While the berry crop has been a
failure in Sussex county this year,
many Of the farmers have not become
discouraged and have already set out
hundreds Of acres throughout the
county. Finer land in the county for
berry culture cannot be found than in
Lewes and Rehoboth and Indian river
hundreds. Those who have extensive
patches in this section at present are
compelled to carry their berries to
Stookley, Georgetown or some other
point where there are buyers, and be-
cause of brokers not coming into this
section IS given as one Of the reasons
why larger acreages are not planted,
not only of berries but other small
fruit.

Are Public School Teachers Office
HOIderS2 80

In connection with the growing public
sentiment in favor Of amending Article
210 of the constitution so as to render
women eligible to serve the state in an
official capacity, it is interesting to note
that under recent decision of the court
OF appeals. rendered by Judge st. Paul, a
serious question has arisen as to the le-
gality of the positions held by every
woman school teacher in the state.
q Article 210 provides that mo person
shall be eligible to any office, state. judi
cial, parochiaI, municipal or ward, who is
not citizen of this state and duly
qualified elector of the state, judicial dis
trict, parish, municipality or ward wherein
the functions Of said office are to be per
| formed.
Apparently, then, under this article.
any one holding Office who is not a quail
fed elector is holding that Office Illegally.
Under Article 1877 of the constitution no
woman can qualify as an eIector
In the decision above referred to, it is
held that person holding a position un-
der public board is an officeholder.
The facts were as follows:
The Fifth Avenue Library Society
brought suit fer small amount against
Miss kilshaW, who was a teacher in the
public schools, and, obtaining judgment,
affannf on fo oyon,1tn ar, hos ~ IorxY Rfsee
kilshaW applied for writ of Injunction,
pleading a statute which exempts the
salaries of public officers from garnish-
ment proceedings. The question to be de-
termined was, lis a public school teacher
an officer within the meaning Of this laW?"
And the court determined that she was.
If, then, teachers are oficeholders, and
under our constitution no woman can be "a
duly qualified eleetor. are all our women
teachers holding their positions Illegally
under Article 210, or does this. article ap-
Fly to elective positions only, and not to
appointiye ones9
This is a question Of Interpretation of
the constitution, and can be answered
only by the supreme court on direct issue
before it. In the meantime, until the
question is brought directly before our
highest tribunal, which alone is vested
with the authority To interpret the con
stitution. the legality Of the positions held
by women school teachers is shrouded in
doubt and uncertainty
To relieve this uncertainty, either a
test case must be brought before the
supreme court, or Article 21O amended so
that its terms shall not apply to women.
That the latter course is the best to pursue
there can be no doubt, as it will not only
establish the legality Of the women school
teachers positions, but will, at the same
time, render women eligible to serve on
school boards, (noW an elective position)
and in any official capacityin in which the
voters, all men. may find it to the public
interest to place them.

Making certain amendments in II. B.
72, introduced by Representative
Alfonso, the judiciary committee yes
lterday made the following recommen-
dation, under which the bill should

day:
"This bill changes the present law
by providing that in the county seats
the district magistrate must have re-
sided in the Judicial circuit in which
he is appointed for at least one year
prior thereto. To save any possible
ambiguity, your committee has amend
ed the section in the bill marked HSec-
tion 1660,' to read as follows:
"Section 1860. There shall be ap-
trates Tor each Judicial district Of the
Territory; such appointments shall be

ritory. Each magistrate shall reside in
the district to which he is appointed
and shall have passed an examination

nolulu, Wailuku, South Hilo and Lii
hue, such magistrates, in addition to
the foregoing qualifications, shall have
resided within the Judicial circuit to
which he is appointed for at least one
year prior to the date of his appoint
ment."
