TOMATO SEASON COMING ON
Opinions Vary as to the Prospect of a
Full Crop-LocaI Cannneries Ready
to Start the Season Next Week

The tomato season is here again
and various reports are had as to a
full crop. Many farmers predict
the crop will be short while others
say it is too early to tell since manv
plants are still in blossom which
will take six weeks to fruit. The
recent drought had much to do with
causing a setback but since the
acreage around and about Smvrna
and Clayton is much larger. the
prospect is for a busy season for our
local canneries. Tomatoes are rip.
ening fast. Thursday of next week
the plant of John H. Hoffecker
Company will start up. They will
employ all home labor. The plant
of Hoffecker Brothers & Hall will
not start up until the crop is on
sufficiently to justify continuous
running. They will employ Bohem-
ian labor. Both the Hoffecker
factories have been thoroughly re-
novated, new and improved machin-
cry added and in readiness to handle
a big pack. The canning houses of
Clayton, Brenford, Cheswold. Black.
bird, Flemings' Landing have all
been enlarged and improved and are
IN readiness to start up when the
season demands. The Peterson
Speakman & Son Packing Comapny,
Belmont Hall, will start up their
canning factory next week with the
prospect of a busy season. For the
trst time since their factory was
established they will use foreign
help and a colony of Bohemians
will be down next week and take
possession of the newly built bar
racks Mr.. Speakman has erected for
them. The latter has also added
new machinery and Increased the
capacity of his plant considerably
over any year he has been in busi-
ness.

ANOTHER VACANCY OCCURS
At SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL
MISS LINDA 3. Cliff RESIGNS TO
TAKE POSITION, RICHMOND VA.
Sent Her Resignation to Secretary {.
M. Fowler of the School Board
YesterdaY-The Second Vacancy

Miss Linda B. Cliff of Washing.
ton, D. c., who was recently re-
elected a teacher in the High School
at an increase Of salary, has ten
dered her resignation to the Board
of School Directors to take effect at
once. She has been elected and
accepted position as one of the
teachers in Woman's College, Rich
mond, Va, and will enter upon her
duties there next month. The an
nouncement is received in Smyrna
with regret, for Miss Cliff was not
only popular teacher at the High
School, but made friends with manv
OF our town people who regret ex-
ceedlngly that she will not be back
the coming year. She takes the
Richmond position not only because
she regards it a promotion, but the
new location puts her among rela-
tlves and friends and a location
several miles nearer her home in
Washington than Smyrna is. The
Board has not yet met to fill her
vacancy. Miss Cliffs resignation
makes the second vacancy to occur
since the Board of Direct tors completed
their election in June. Miss Marv
E. Ford of Easton, Md, who was
elected to fill the place of Miss
Laura Lefty (now Mrs. Ernest W.
Warrington of Pilot Rock, Oregon)
rendered her resignation to accept a
position in Virginia. The School
Board met and elected Miss Clara
Hudson of Laurel. Miss Hudson
taught several years in Delmar and
presented high testimonials to our
School Board as a normal school
teacher of experience and efficiency.
Schools will open in Smyrna on Seq
tember the third, when all the
new teachers will report for duty.
The teaching staff starts with more
changes than at any one time in the
history of the Smyrna Public Schools.

JARDINE GETS ENCOURAGEMENT
First Trip of New Boat From New
York to Atlantic City Success

A. E. Jardine, president and man
ager of the Atlantic City Transpor-
tation Company, formerly of the
Smyrna Transportation Company. is
beginning to see success in his la
borious undertaking. Early action
for the opening of Atlantic City's
Inlet, to permit of the operation of
passenger service by the Atlantic
City Transportation Co., between
New York an1 Atlantic City. was
assured last Thursday, when four
members of Atlantic City Commits
sion and ten members of the County
Board of Freeholders pledged muni-
clpal and county aid at a meeting
held on board of the new liner At
lantic City as it was entering New
1rk harbor. The city and county
officials, together with members of
the City Business League and the
Hotel Mems Association, were car
ried to New York on the first regu
lar trip of the New York liner, 20
demonstrate to them the possibilities
OF water communication between
New York and Philadelphia and At
lantic City when the harbor entrance
is deepened sufficiently to admit of
boats running upon a regular sche-
dule. Provision will be made at
once for the raising of an emergency
fund of $40, 600 for the removal of
ridge across the mouth of the In
let, which cannot now be passed ex-
cept upon high water. This will be
preliminary to the permanent i'm
provement of the channel and harbor
under the direction of the United
States Board of Engineers, for which
Sl70, 600 has been appropriated by
Congress.

COWGILL FARM SHOWS THRIFT
c. A. Wills Developing 800 Acres
Along Line of Intensive Farming

=
C. A. Wills, proprietor of "Duck
Creek Manor" formerly known as
the Cowgirl farm, near Smyrna is
producing favorble comment for his
pluck and enterprise in a year of
which he has had to contend much
with in drought and other causes.
He came to this vicinity from Cam
den. N. j., and took hold of the
farm in March. The first thing he
did was to equip it we'll. 1t is
doubtful if there is a farm in this
vicinity better equipped with stock,
up-to-date conveyances, machinery,
etc. He is Just finishing harvest
ing his white potato crop of 80
acres. Had the drought not struck
it he would have shipped about
eight or nine carloads. AS it was
his output will be somewhere be-
tween four and FIVE carloads. Wagon
load after wagon load of these fine
tubers have been passing through
Smyrna. His tomato patch is also
pronounced one of the best looking
and most promising of any in this
vicinity. Considering it is his first
wear and he took the farm when run
down, Mr.. Wills is being compli-
mented for his enterprise and per-
severance. He is building up one
of the incest farms in this vicinity.
