THE KENT LEVY court
VISITS MILFORD neck

Last week the entire Levy Court Of
Kent County came to Milford. where they
entered automobiles, and were taken to
the lands of Frank Greco, in Milford
Neck, where extensive drainage canals
have been, and are now in process of
cutting, and which are draining hun
dr. eds of acres of land. Part of this land
was once the Governor Polk Mannor'
farm, and the Levy Court saw wheat
and clover growing on more than one
hundred acres of land, which for many
years has each spring been covered with
water from one inch to a foot deep.
When the backwater which is now nee
cessary to be held so as to float his
dredge is no longer needed, after the
completion of the canal projects, is
drained away, many marsh farms ad-
joining Mr.. Greco will be benefited by
the drawing away of water from those
lands. Mr.. Greco is an Italian, and has
a colony of his people working for him.
He has been a contractor for many
years, and has graded and constructed
railroads in Canada and other places.
He now makes his home in Delaware,
where he owns many acres of land. The
Levy Court will have plans drawn for
two bridges over his drainage canal for
public roads to pass over, and Mr.. Greco
will build them at his own expense. The
Levy Court was surprised to see the
drainage works and system in progress
at Mr. Greco's.

ice FORMED ON MAY 18TH.

Once in many years the weather con
ditions are such as to be remarkable,
and the year of 1913 so far is the great
est freak in the memory of the present
generation. Ice formed in shallow pans
and a heavy white frost covered Vege-
tation in Delaware on Sunday and Mon
day mornings, May 11th and 18th. The
freeze killed many tomato plants, string
and lima beans, and scorched white pO-
tato vines. In the headrows of fields
where sassafras was growing, the leaves
look as if fire had scorched them. Black
berries were seriously injured, and some
strawberry fields report damage. Grow
ers of grapes report considerable injury
as the result of this freeze. Beans and
early sweet corn and white potatoes will
put out new leaves and continue to grow,
but will be made several days or a week
later in maturing.
