eLUT OF TOMATOES IN SUSSEX
Many Growers Seeking Outlet at Other
Places by Railroad and Boat

The tomato glut continues at all of
the factories through Sussex county,
the supply being far above the
capacity of the canneries. AS
result, many of the growers are seek
ing other sources of output for their
crop. A large number of farmers
are sending their tomatoes to city
markets by rail, while many are
using the boats. On her last trip
north-bound the steamer Green's
borough of Milford, carried 6, ,167
baskets of tomatoes consigned to
Gamers at Camden, N. j., for which
Is cents per basket had been paid the
growers. A talk with the leading
farmers of this community brought
out the information that, while the
prospects for a bumper crop were
never better early in the season, the
crop has not been above the normal
in central Delaware. They point out
that the tomatoes set in the vines
early in the season in greater num-
bers than they ever saw them set
before, but that the extreme dry
weather of the past eight weeks
caused the vines to blight and left
the tomatoes exposed to the hot suns
of the early part of this month. AS
a result they did not ripen up as well
as they should have done and the
farmers suffered loss. The rains of
last week and the early part of this
week have caused the tomatoes to
ripen all at once and this accounts for
the glut. Over four hundred large
wagon loads were standing in Milford
Friday morning awaiting their turns
to unload. The season will probably
end this week, but the factories will
remain open for several days yet in
order to get the few late crops which
are still coming on.

DELAWARE COLLEGE NOTES
Students Numbering I6o Getting in
Trim For Fall Work

Delaware College students number
ing 160 are now becoming accustomed
to the new curricum, which was put
into effect with the opening of the
college this term and most of them
seem to be pleased with it, and the
faculty is especially pleased with the
change. The fact that it makes
chapel half an hour earlier in the
mornings, is the principal objection
of some few, but they expect to even
get used to this. The change of the
periods from three-quarters to one
hour has been decided improvement
and benefit, it is claimed to both
students and Professors. When
Stewart and Donahue, the Wilmington
contractors, complete the work
recently started, there will be a
decided improvement in the appearance
of the grounds surrounding the
various buildings. The work is
principally the building of new
asphalt, macadam walks and drives.
Several of the drives and also the
walks are being materially widened.
The entire work comprises something
like 1,5O0 square yards of new walk
and drives. A top surface of lime
stone is also to be placed on the main
entrance walk. While the ground
is torn up for these walks, Professor
Roberts, the new instructor in
electrical engineering, is taking the
opportunity of putting the large
number of wires that are in the rear
of the buildings and near Mechanical
Hall, under ground

tion that assembled in the Century
Club rooms to nominate a county
ticket. The candidate, who has
been touring New York and the New
England States, missed his connect
ions at Wilmington and was unable to
fill the engagements at Harrington

an automobile and was about half an
hour late. The meeting was opened
and L. w. Brosius was bringing out
some pertinent politics points when
Mr.. Chain arrived. Captain Stanley,
converted comedian, livened things
up by his limitations and singing
" Serving the Lord in My Weak Way"
and ''There'll Be No Distinctions. "
Mr.. Chain in his 15-minute talk,
arraigned the old line parties, the
Bull MOOsers, and laid out High
License, Local Option and the Anti
Saloon League. He said the only
thing to fight for was total prohibi-
tion, and any party that could live
40 years without any patronage or
offices was sure to eventually come
out victorious. The convention
nominated the following county

The old abandoned iron pits on Iron

will be the scene of much activity in
a few days, as the new mining plant
will be put in operation. The old
mine and adjoining property were

machinery there for some weeks.
Last week test was made of some

it is said 35 per cent. iron was

This old mine was opened in 1923.

have been formed to operate it, but
until now there has been a lack of

Beautiful Decorations, Industrial and
Civic Parades and a Program Full
of interest is Planned

of Interest is Planned
Thousands of visitors will spend
the week of October 9th to 18th in
Wilmington, the occasion of the big
Home Coming Week celebration. In
veiw of the many visitors who are
expected to put in some part of the
week in the metropolis of Delaware,
special arrangements are being made
for their comfort. The hotels,
boarding and lodging houses, already
have begun to arrange for the enter
tainment of the visitors, and hundreds
of private families have sent out in
vitations to friends and former resi-
dents to be there during the week of
the celebration. 1t is understood
that special trains on the different
railroads will run from various points
down the state and nearby towns in
other states. Visitors to that City,
it is said, will be given the surprise
of their life. They will be received
with open arms by the residents OF
Wilmington, and their stay in that
city made as pleasant as possible.
The decorations, judging from what
the Committee has planed, will alone
be worth the price of trip to that
city. Market Street will be one long
Court of Honor and the electrical
illuminations will be something
never before attempted in that City.
The week will be opened on Sunday,
October the sixth with special services
in all the churches. The next day
will be devoted to a formal opening
of the celebration by exercises at the
City Hall and Band Concerts in all
the Parks. Tuesday will be known
as "Children's Day." an elaborate
program having been arranged for
that days exercises. On Tuesday
night there will be a band concert,
an elaborate open air moving picture
entertainment and one of the biggest
displays of fireworks ever seen in
Wilmington, concluding with the
ignition of one ton of loose powder.
There will be an immense Industrial
Parade on Wednesday afternoon, with
General T. Coleman DUPONT as the
Grand Marshall. The Organized
Militia of Delaware will act as escort
for this parade, after which a dress
parade of the militia will be held at
Washington Heights. Wednesday
night will mark the big parade of
= frateERal, social and secret organiza-
tions in which 10, 900 men are expect
ed to participate. The parade of the
City Fire Department will be held on
Thursday afternoon, and on Thursday
night, there will be an automobile
parade. Fun will run riot on Friday
night when the Mask Carnival will
be held on Saturday afternoon, there
will be a parade in honor of Colum-
bus Day. The Delaware Saenger-
bund, one of the country's foremost
German Singing Organizations, will
give several free concerts during the
week in addition to number of other
features that will be given in the
open air.
