HOLD BOYS ON THE FARM
First Farmers Boy Day" Held Under
Auspices of the State Meets With
Decided Success at Newark.

The first annual Farmers Boy
Day at the State Farm Saturday was
a great success. Professor Hay
ward, director of the farm, an
nounced that Farmers Boy Day
would be made an annual affair in
the future, the same as the regular
"Farmers' Day." which is held in
June. This is one of the plans that
Professor Hayward is working out
under the Agricultural Extension
bill, passed by the last Legislature
to get the boys in the rural districts
more interested in scientific farming
and thereby stop, to some degree,
the growing tendency of the boys to
leave the farm early in life for the
city, a situation which is becoming a
serious matter in this State to the
farmers. All of the speakers dwell
ed on the Importance of doing some
thing for the boys that will interest
them in farm life and keep them
home. Professor Tuck, the head of
the Agricultural Extension Depart
ment at Cornell University was the
principal speaker. Others who made
short addresses were Professor Hay
ward, Representative Everett C..
Johnson, father Of the Agricultural
Extension bill; Professor Wesley
Webb, Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture Professor A. R.
Spaid, Superintendent of the schools
of New Castle County, and State
Senator Louis A. Drexler. To make
the day and results a success, both
the State Board Of Agriculture and
the State Board of Education hac
co-operated with professor Hayward
and his staff. The State Board OF
Education had requested the public
school teachers who could to attend
with as many of their pupils a5 pos.
sible, as it is the purpose to teach
more agriculture in the schools in the
future than has been done in the
past. AS a result of all these in.
terests working together, there was
a gathering of probably five hundred
persons from all parts of the State.
In the crowd were many school boys
and sons of farmers who have left
the schools, and all seemed interested
in what they saw at the State farm.

SMYRNA CLAYTON GROWERS
CLOSE BIG GRAPE SEASON
SHIPMENTS FROM THIS VICINITY
WILL TOTAL $50, 1000 CARRIERS
Mrs. j. E. Carter Leads the Grape
Belt with a Shipment of Between
10000 and 1900 Carriers

Not since grape culture has become
such a growing industry have the
vinyardists of Smyrna-Clayton and
vicinity had such a prolific season.
The shipments, which are now on
the wane, have amounted to fully
$50, 900 carriers. The industry has
made business for boat, rail and
fruit and package dealers and has
put thousands of dollars in circula-
tiOn. Since the days when the late
Joseph E. Carter gave an impetus
to grape culture in this vicinity and
the VINEYARDS have largely supplant-
ed the peach orchards, the growing
of grapes has so increased that near
ly every farmer of this vicinity is
cultivating them on large or small
scale. Probably no grape belt in
Delaware is as large as the Smyrna
Clayton belt and the industry is still
growing. Many new Vineyards are
being set out and Delaware is ac-
quiring a fame that will make it as
noted as New York State. The fruit
this year has been of an unusually
fine flavor. The varieties principally
grown are the Niagara, a sweet and
wholesome white grape, and the cell
! ebfateo. COncords and Moore's Early
Many of the punches have weighed
from a pound to.a pound and half,
rich in color and ciose and compact.
Mrs. Carter. widow OF the late J. E.
Carter is probably the largest grow
er. Her crop alone will aflr009SsLt TO
between 10, 900 and $4,000 carriers'
Each carrier represents about eighl
baskets. A close second to her is
the vinyard of Walter T. Massey.
Doc Massey will close the season
with shipment of between 5000
and 10, 900 carriers. E. w. Lapham
& Son, j. w. Anthony & Son, John
Buttery, Cyrus P.Gears, Joseph R.
Jefferson ILL have shipped 5000 OF
5000 carriers each, while other vim.
yardists, too numerous to mention,
have contributed to the sum total of
the great grape industry of this vi
cinity. John Buttery tried an in
nOvation this year of shipping his
grapes in 81 or pound baskets
specially packed. He has 171 acres
in grapes and his shipments during
the height of the season was 1000 or
more of these baskets daily. He
secured better prices. Had it not
been for the wet spell the last week
of August when the fruit was max
ing, the seasons output would have
totaled more than 200, 900 carriers.
The rains at that time affected both
the yield ard quality. However.
prices have been fairy good. Mag
ras have brought anywhere from As
cents to S1.25 per carrier; Concords
from 40 cents to so cents and
Mcore's Early from 60 cents to
$1.0O.

Smyrna need to Awake to Their
Opportunities.-Our Advantages
Dear Editor Hoffecker.-After q
very pleasant summer in Smyrna we
have returned home and wish onr
ever welcome visitor "The Times ,,
We shall ever feel kindly for cur
hospitable reception by the good
people of your good town
and while some calls we could not
return in person, We do in spirit.
As l told you, l never was more
impressed of the excellent natural
advantages of the grand little State
OF my birth than since my return
from covering about all of the State
of Ohio, part of Indiana and MICHIGAN
which all boast of their agricultural
advantages, to our midst. took
a drive from Clayton through the
beautiful farms of the Alley to old
Massey home and again to Leipsic
by the Bishop Corner route. l was
reminded of what Prof. j. H. Groves
once of your town, said to me in the
city a few years ago: 81 have
travelled most of sixteen or seven
teen States of the Union and have
never seen a more beautiful tract of
country than from Odessa via Mid.
dletown to Warwick in my life. -
! veritably believe that is correct
physical geography. We had some
observing friends Of ours on visit
down there who had never visited
the State only by through trains,
which is but poor, cursory view at
east. Said they were more than
pleasantly surprised. When you
stop to think of the entire territory
contiguous to elegant water COM
munication, accessible to several
large city markets, practically all
arabic and easily cutivatabIe, why
should those farms around Lima, o.,
and other places out there sell for
two or three times your prices.
Think of these great apples, toma-
toes, such turkeys, chickens and so
on down the list, grown with such
f1avors peculiar to themselves. Can
you afford to let ''San Jose Scale"
and other parasites drive them away
as they have done the proverbial
Delaware Peach?" Owen Wistar
says of the political lethargy of
Philadelphia ''That she has not
awakened, but merely turned over in
her sleep" If the Delaware peo-
pie should fail to join in favor of
the DUPONT Boulevard, "Inter-
urban Railroad Service" etc.,
which will attract and advertise the
State to all people, both in and out
of its boundaries, ] shall feel that
Owen Wistar also may include that
beautiful little commonwealth reach
ing only about 100 miles from Clay
mont to Selbyville, of nature's s
choice selection of territory, and of
as fine manor-born people as on
earth, socially or politically or
otherwise. Some day they will
prepare their products for market as
those enterprising Westerners do
and outstrip the whole galaxy Of
other States. What a beautiful
little manufacturing town Smyrna
would make Excuse me, l could keep
right on about Delaware and fail to
be able to express myself. want
them to at least "turn over in their
slumbers. Wv. E. BAKER.

Elizabeth Bailey, of Boston, will
give a musical and dramatic recital
at the Century Club House on Fri

1t may be interesting to quote the
criticism from the Middletown Trans

recently. Miss Bailey will give a
program similar in character to the
one she gave in Middletown last
Friday night. The Transcript says: !:
Miss Bailey is a highly trained
elocutionist and singer who has
studied under a number of notable
masters in Europe and America
This was evidenced in her singing
and recitations which were of the

priety Of accent and gesture, which
IN its adherence to Hamlet's wise
admOnition not to 'o'er step the

with exquisite finish. Her rendition
Of the Chariot Race from Ben Elur
was with genuine dramatic power.

The DUPONT Boulevard surveyors,
who left Smyrna last Friday week
on "hurry job" to the vicinity of
Milford have not returned, although
they told Mr.. John P. Goldsborough,
proprietor of the Delaware House
they would be back last Wednesday.
The survey has been completed, it is
understood, as far as the head of the
pond Lake sCOmo), and will take the
westerly course through Smyrna just
this side of "Font Hill, - the home
of Mrs. Pressly Spruance. Mr..
Goldsborough expects the surveying
corps here most any day. The

which may or may not have any con-
nection with it that, the Wabash
Railroad Company is working on a

have secured options on a sufficient
number of properties in the vicinity
of Eleventh and Market streets,
Wilmington, with view of locating
the station there. The tracks would
enter and leave the city through a
subway. It is stated that in case
the new line is built. it will be op-
Grated by electricity for passengers
and freight so far as the Delaware
end is concerned. In the meantime.
constructing work on the Dupont
road is being planned with some en-
thusiasm at Georgetown. Several
contractors went to Sussex yeterday
to inspect the plans for preliminary
work on the Dupont road and to put
in their estimates for grading eight
mi les of the right of way. This
| grading will be on a stretch from
outside Georgetown to Millsboro. 1t
is not proposed to do any macadam
construction this year, but an effort
will be made to get eight miles of
grading done before winter, which
would permit of macadm construc-
tion in the spring. General Dupont
has built about one hundred yards
Of gravel and asphalt experimental
road alongside of Gravel Hill farm
that he has bought outside of
Georgetown on the road to Lewes.
On this stretch of road he has trac-
tion engines and wagons to haul.
Signs are posted in and outside of
Georgetown offering employment to
men in the road construction work
1t would be difficult to imagine much
worse road than that between George
town and Millsboro and also from
Georgetown to Lincoln. The Du-
pont road from Georgetown to Mills
boro will not follow the present
road, but will run somewhere near
it. Because of the road route being
selected through that section many
farms are being offered for sale at
advanced prices and for sale signs

of SelbyvilIe Locates his Brother
John Watson on Mt. Vernon St.
A happy meeting of two brothers
who had not seen each other in
thirty years and until recently
neither knew the location of the
other, took place in Smyrna yester-
day when Henry H. Watson, a prom
inent retired undertaken of Selby-
willie met his brother, John Watson,
whom he did not know. In some
way the family became separated
when they were children and drifted
apart. Henry Watson, now rs years
of age, is living a retired and COM
Portable life at Selbyville. He be-
longs to a family of undertakers,
having succeeded his father in busi-
ness. He remembers distinctly the
days before the railroad down the
Peninsula when with his father he
drove all the way from Selbyville
to Smyrna to take the boat to Phil
adelphia to buy his undertaking
supplies. 1t was slow travel in
those days and coffins had to be made
to order on the spot, marked con-
trast to the splendid way of doing
business nowadays. Henry Watson
has three sons and two grandsons in
the undertaking business: a son who
succeeded him at Selbyville, a son
in business at Seaford, a son at
Roxana, grandson at Princess Anne
and grandson at Milford. The
meeting of the two brothers has
been a happy occasion and full of
