SEEK BETTER
MARKETS FOR
WILMINGTON
This the Purpose Of Chamber
Of Commerce in Viewing
Jersey Farms
EXPECT MUCH GOOD
FROM TIE MOVEMENT

The Chamber Of Commerce excur-
sion in June, 10 Salem county, on the
face of it appears to be one of the
most promising movements towards
civic betterment ever suggested or at
tempted in this city.
Thirty years ago Wilmington had
the best markets of any small city in
the country. AT that time Salem
county farmers, especially those liv-
ing within a few miles Of the Della
ware, were as well or better known
in town as are New Castle county
farmers. The Divers, the Sparks. the
Leaps and others were apparently and
in reality as essential part OF the city s
life
This was before the Southern
market gardener has begun his activ-
ities and before the Selbyvilie dis
trict had discovered its wonderful
possibilities in strawberries and the
like The Jersey produce was always
the first in the market and Salem
county farmers were always the first
in the field with their produce I'm
this way they secured the highest
kinds of prices.
Then the landing dock at the foot
Of Church street began to I'LL up and
the market restrictions became more
pressing and the Salem county farm
er went elsewhere, and the result was
Wilmington produce market was
starved and the cost of living was
increased by the necessity of bring
ing produce at second or third hand
which the city should have had al
first hand without the consequent
profits of two or three middle men.
The primary motive of the trip tc
Salem county is an improvement OF
the city markets. Those who so on
the excursion Will be amply repaid
for the expenditure OF time. Salem
county will surprise some OF thos.
who e unfamiliar with the situation
and conditions. There are orderly
and well-kept farms there whic' al
ways look well. but in mid-June they
are at their best II the n.ovemeni
be furthered as It should. the Cham
ber OF Commerce if il did NOTING
else this year will have vindicateC
its organization and expenditures.
Il is the object OF the Chamber tC
mako living conditions IL Whining
ton the best possible. and this Salem
county trip is the first step in thii
m jvemeLt, a step by the way, which
will be followed by others equally
as promising OF good results.
The details OF the reception Il
down-State editors are being worked
out and this function Will be the mex
in line.
