HAVE DIFFICULTY
PICKING PRIZE WINNERS

The three counties Of Delaware have
contributed their fruit products 10
one grand exhibition at the Fair. The
splendid array OF apples. peaches,
pears and grapes there shows that
fruit growing is at last a science.
Many exhibits in the corn reached
to the top of the tent and the great
big ears caused the judges consider
able trouble in deciding which growth
was the best. One farmer said that
his prize winning corn has been in
the family for forty-three years. This
farmer came in for third prize while
the tenant on another farm got the
first prize.
Potatoes are exhibited in many va
rieties. Irish cobbles fiist with Mag
gle Murphy. while the state of Maine
keeps company with the Puritan.
Prosperity. Snow Red Cherry and
Carmen varieties. The Wheat eXhi-
bits are better than former years
while some splendid specimens Of
oats are on exhibition in sheaf as
we'll as threshed.
Hay bundles won prizes from the
timothy to the alfalfa, Pumpkins,
cantaloupes, tomatoes, peas, beets,
squashes and peppers all are in doz-
ems Of varieties TO attract the atten-
ton Of the visitors.
Gradually the New Castle county
farmers are forging to the front with
great bumper crops. No farmer now

man but he had enough Of a per-
sonal following through the State to
batter down the Salisbury influence
and won out decisively. All that
Kent county got out OF the wreck
age that resulted from the Salisbury
Mona ghan-Sussex combination was
the nomination Of Mr.. Brockson for
Congress. but even that apparently
was a slip-up. Give us Monaghan
and we will give you anything you
want in the way of the Offices" was
the proposition Of the Monaghan
forces TO the Salisbury followers in
Sussex county. and the latter read
ily entered into the bargain That
there was a slip-up on the Congress
