Several weeks ago it was thought
that the peach crop was destroyed.
Insects have been numerous, but 1t
has been demonstrated by Harrison's
Nurseries, at Berlin. Md, that a peach
crop can be saved if growers fight
the insects and keep trees in a healthy
condition. In orchards containing ten
thousand peach trees, ranging from
four to twenty-one years of age, there
is a full crop of peaches. When dor
mant the trees we're sprayed with con-
centrated lime and sulphur, one gallon
TO ten gallons of water. Later, brown
rot or bud mite appeared, and trees
were sprayed with two applications,
solution two pounds of lime and two
pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons water Black aphis also ap-
peared on the peach. and BLACK Leaf
Forty" was used. one pint to five huns
dred gallons water, which killed the
aphis. Today the orchards are being
sprayed with self boiled lime and sui
phur. with two pounds of arsenate of
lead added. They will be sprayed
again within ten days with self boiled
lime and sulphur and again in June
so as to cover all peaches well to
keep them from rotting
About June 1 a number of young
men from horticultural colleges Will
be employed TO thin the fruit, so that
it will grow to the full size. The peach
orchard has already been disk-har-
rowed six times in different directions.
and the disking will be continued each
week until the peaches are full grown
The orchard between Berlin and Ocean
City is a model. The commercial va
rieties are: 1000 Elberta. 1900 Ray.
1900 Carman, 500 Champion, 500 Belle
of Georgia. 500 Chairs Choice, 1000
Crawford's Late In addition TO these,
there is a simple or test orchard of
600 trees containing 100 varieties.
Some of the peach trees we're planted
as filters, the standard trees being
apple. In one orchard there are 1000
Yellow Transparent apple trees, four
years of age, with a good crop of
apples. In another orchard there are
1900 Williams Early Red apple trees
four years old, loaded with fruit; in
another there are so peach trees twen-
ty-one years of age we'll set to peaches
ana trees are in good condition; in
another there are 400 apple trees
twenty-four years of age of Rome
Beauty, Winesap and Ben Davis, all
we'll set to fruit. In another there are
fifty apple trees about fifty years Of
age of Baldwin and several other va
rieties, all heavily set to fruit. So far
this season no fertilizer has been used
except for tests or experiments, yet
the trees we're heavily fertilized in
previous years, but it has been found
that too much fertilizer causes too

a demonstration Of the opening Of a
new route TO the New Jersey seaside
resorts. With good roads from the
Maryland line on the south and from
the Pennsylvania line on the nprth,
this route will almost surely become
a popular one.
These tourists will have to pass
through Wilmington and they will
have to pass through New Castle

opportunity in this situation whereby
the Levy Court. while II Is beneftiug

maintaining of good roads, can also
at the same time advertise the state
county and city. while IL is contrihut-
ing TO Wilmington's business men
Wilmington people will not balk at the
additional budren of taxation which is
laid upon them If in return the county
authorities will show a disposition TO
contribute in their program of expen-
ditures fair return Of the money
paid towards supporting roads leading
TO Wilmington.
There is no single method of adver-
tising Wilmington at this time which
suggests greater possibilities than in
the building Of good roads leading
from all sides and all ways into Will
mington. The use Of automobiles is
growing every day. The approaches
to Wilmington are attractive n mauy

tourists will not only come here, but
they will 90 away and praise tae CITY.
Asking that the county viii ap-

is not asking too much. They say that
any good thing the county authori-
ties do for Wilmington Is increasing
the county's own assets Good roacs
everywhere, out first and as soon as
possible. there should be good roads
leading to Wilmington from every di-

Its waters and limiting the catch in

eral Government, whose Bureau Of
Fisheries has decided to ship this
month 100000 young Holsters to be
planted along the rocky sides of the

which extends two miles into the
ocean. This gives eight miles of crew
ices for the Holsters among the rocks
Other shipments will be made later
and as the new law forbids the cap
ture of Holsters at that point for FIVE
Years, it is believed a large colony Will
be established.
At the Breakwater at Lewes lob

The Chamber of Commerce in it's
new forward movement intends to
keep in close touch with both the city
and county government In working
for new industries. it is always found
that those seeking sites and locations
place the utmost Importance on the
government of the place where they
are asked to locate. A low tax rate
is a compelling argument and an eff
cient government operated in the in
terest of all the people with a salts
fed electorate is no mean inducement
for manufacturer or intelligent lcme
seeker.
The members of the Chamber OF
Commerce wish it understood that
they do not intend in any measure 10
try to run either the Levy Court or
City Council but Il should be under
stood that the Chamber of Commerce
In what it considers the vital inter-
ests of the State, county and city, will
examine and analyze budgets, and
where It is thought advisable will call
attention to delinquencies and inequi-
ties in the administration OF public af-
fairs.
One Of the things which the Cham
her of Commerce will insist upon is
that in the expenditure of the county
moneys Wilmington interests will re-
ceive the consideration It's overwhelm-
ing contribution to the tax funds
would appear 10 reasonably demand.
In the matter of road building. for In
stance, Wilmington Is scarcely less in
terested than the rural hundreds them
selves. Paying as Wilmington does at
least two-thirds of the tax, It does not
look unreasonable to ask that any plan
or program Of road improvement
should be made with an end in view
OF making Wilmington more easily
accessible to the outside world. A
plan Of this kind could be pursued
which. while il was helping the

WHAT'S WRONG WITH BELINGTON?

Nature and natures laws are
the two things that man can new
er change-can never control,
for man is just a part of the Big
Machine" round about in space.
Therefore, Belington being
centrally located right in the
very heart of natures domain,
and surrounded by all natural
gifts of forest, streams, coal, oil,
gas and climate, we feel like say
ing that Belington is the best
place known to man, and donot
doubt our feelings, but somehow
it's hard to say so much-its such
a big phrase, yet the phrase be-
longs to some place, and Being
ton had just as well lay claim to
it now rather than hereafter for
the time is at hand when this lit
tie healthful and natural spot will
be known, surprisingly more
within a few short years than
what we can clearly conceive to-
day. This may seem like a dream
to some, so did the United States
government seem when first
started, but the natural order Of
things has worked is working
and today great good in the way
of home life, peace and happiness,
social circles and business activi-
ties looms mountain high for 9TH
ers to pattern.
Belington's future is looked up
on most favorably. All chances
are in her favor. Her people now
and those yet to come have every
thing to gain. Those on the
ground floor willreap rich harvests
they have the right to, and they
ought to reap the harvests.
First come, first served" is {
rule that applies here.
Rumors of late indicate beyond
a doubt that great developments
are forth coming another rail
road is sure to come to Beington
within few months. Electric
lines are headed from different
points our way. A hint to the
wise is sufficient, so timber up,
start some activity ; exchange
property for money, or money for
property, or property for prop
erty :; get the spirit of activity
within and activity without, then
use good judgement and watch
the r esults.

COMPETITION


Competition must meet the
same problems that we have met.
If we advertise our products or
our wares, competition, too, must
advertise. If we do not adver-
tise, competition may be able to
show us the way. If we have
statesmen on the road, so too,
must competition have it's sales
man.
And every move it makes is a
move worth watching.
But our market" what shall
become Of our market when it is
cut up into small bits by compel. :
ton?
That is our dread of competi-
ton our dread before we have
learned that market knows no
limits, save the limits of human
demand; and human demand may
be doubled, almost, overnight.
When we look at our slender
lists of customers, and see the
scattering names that we have
gathered into our ledgers though
years of effort, it seems that
competition must surely be a
dread and dangerous thing. But
when we look at the market that
is yet to be won, at the custo-
mers that might, and may, be
ours; and when we consider that
Intelligent competition, if it is to
succeed, itself, must open up new
markets, must find new avenues
of trade, by which we, too, may
profit; then we see that competi-
ton will broaden our fields and
increase our profits.
But competition is not alone a
maker of market-it is a maker
of men. Competition will keep
US, as individuals, from lulling
ourselves to sleep with pleasant
dreams Of easy wealth, dreams
that close our eyes to today's
work with alluring pictures of to-
morrow.
Competition will hurry our
sense Of contentment, and put
action in our limbs and strength
| in our arms and alertness in our
minds. twill make us do things
with a spirit that nothing else
but competition could inspire.
The rosy goal Of ambition isn't
half so effective spur as the
pointed CORD of competition.
Which do you suppose a jockey in
a horse race is thinking of, as be
turns the last quarter post the
$500 purse that is his, if he wins,
or the fact that he can feel the
hot breath of the painting animal
at his side which threatens to rob
him of the glory of the race?
What do you think the hust-
) ling corner merchant puts into
his work that makes him win
the abstract thought that he
must please his customers, or the
concrete knowledge that his
neghbor across the street is strain
ing every nerve to beat him?
Which do you suppose is the
greater incentive to invention
the idealistic dream of improve
ment, or the cold, hard fact that
there is a competitor to outwit?
