A june 4 SNOWFALL

GEORGETOWN, Del. June s.
Snow in Delaware on June 4 doesn't
sound reasonable, yet there is au-
thority for the statement that snow
fell near Georgetown, early yesterday
morning and Thursday night. Samuel
Wilson and John Barr, contractors
and builders, both declare that they
found snow on boards which they
had out in the side yard Of a house
they were building, and both declare
that they saw snow falling.
Backing their statement comes
word from near Nassau where John
Houston. a graduate of the Delaware
Agricultural College, is operating a
large farm, that yesterday morning,
about o'clock. he found snow falling
in his barn yard.

State COMES BACK
IN Peach CULTURE
Experts Say 1915 Will Be
a Record Year in
Production
DEMAND FOR
ORCHARD LANDS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
sEAFORD, Del. June 5.-Delaware
is rapidly regaining its lost fame as
the leading peach growing State and
at the end of the present fruit year II
will hold its former record known all
over the country. Several instances
in the past week 60 to show that the
raising of this luscious fruit is once
more to be one of the chief industries
Of the State. Professor Wesley Webb,
secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture. in commenting upon the cul-
ture of peaches in Delaware in recent
years, pointed out the fact that few
years ago. farm, known as the DR..
Marvin farm, near Dover. was worth
but about $1,000 and at that time con-
tanned 100 acres, only the past week
sold for $4,000, but contained only
sixty-three acres. including one of the
best peach orchards in the State. The
sale of the orchard and the price re-
ceived for It is substantial proof that
Delaware peach orchards are no
longer a drug on the market
It is stated with authority that
peach culture in Delaware, for the
past twelve or fifteen years, has been
on the decline. and very few of the
farmers would risk planting trees
which were susceptible both to frost
and various diseases. II took the
farmers a long time to discover that
by spraying and careful cultivation
they could conquer the dreaded dis
eases. and their discovery once more
caused them to muster up courage TO
set out new orchards. Today the
country, especially throughout Kent
and Sussex counties. is dotted with
young peach orchards, many contain
ing as many as 400 and 500 acres,
and the fruit that is being produced
Is equal to any ever grown either in
this or any other State in the Union.
Orlando Harrison of J. G. Harrison
and Sons Nurseries, who have large
nurseries in Berlin and a number OF
large fruit farms in this section of
this State, in speaking of the outlook
said "From our 100 acres OF peach
orchards we have good prospects OF
harvesting seventy cars of fruit Last
year the yield comprised forty-one
cars; in 1918. which was a better
year, the total number was seventy
one cars, so it is apparent that the
year 1915 will be- a record-breaker
The varieties are as follows: Carman
Champion. Belle of Georgia, Ray FL
berta, Crawford Late trees, ranging
from five to nine years old In oui
test OF 100 varieties, six of each var
iety. every variety in the orchard was
found TO be loaded with peaches"

ADD MORE Prize STOCK
TO The COLLEGE. Herd

Special to TIE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Del, June 5.-Professor
Harry Hayward has announced the
sale of a bull calf from the college
herd to a prominent Delaware farmer
for 5000. The dam of the calf was
Maud H., second class, whose official
record for one year was 20.167 pounds
of milk and 9O93-4 pounds of butter.
The sire of this calf was the bull Pet
Pontiac Sadie Vale Korn Dyke. He
was owned by a prominent Washing
ton, ID. c., breeder, who refused $4,000
for him when a calf. The average
butter production of his three nearest
female ancestors was 80 63-100 in
seven days, and the average prOduc-
tion of his seven nearest female an
cestors was 26 4-10 pounds of butter
in seven days. His great-grandsire
was the famous King of POntiacs, a
bull for which $4,000 was refused.
This calf goes to one OF the good herds
in Delaware.
Eighteen head of Guernseys in the
northern part of New York State were
recently purchased by the college.
Thre of these are for Dr. Bayard
Murray near Newark; three for Jo-
sian MafNel, OF wilmington. two for
H. p. Milburn, of Hartley, and two for
j. Stanley Frazer. The remaining
seven will be kept at the college farm.
The college farm has sold to the
University of Ohio the Jersey bull
Mabel Raleigh's Fairy Boy, and the
Jersey COW Rosa of Greenway. whose
official record made in the college
herd was $500 pounds of milk and
6l7 pounds of butter in one year
They were selected from the herd by
Professor c. S. Plum, one of the best
teachers of animal husbandry in our
agricultural colleges. They were
chosen on their individual merits and
VIII be used for classroom work al
the university. as well as for breed
ing purposes in the university herd.

CHAPTER TX.
The Maker of Bombs.

Gafford turned away from that
red valley where the fires Of the
forges and those of human passion
mingled to produce the engines of
destruction, and climbed up the
shoulder of the hill.
He scrambled up, his path lighted
b. the crimson reflection from the
.loke pail, and went for some dis
tance along the rim of the mountain
which ringed the valley round.
When he was satisfied that he had
come far enough from the track he
sat down, took some cold food from
the blanket-roll he carried, and ate.
Then, with the blanket wound about
him, he slept.
The gray Of morning found him
alert. Rising, he began scouting
about the region. Haste urged him,
until it was with an effort that he
forced himself to work out the lay
of the land before making some
move to come to the object he
sought.
A small brawling torrent i, fur
He crossed it on the bole of fallen
tree and went on. He was searching
for some place where he could lie
and observe the works below him
without chance Of being seen. There
would then remain the task Of get
ting to close quarters. At the worst
he had decided that he would walk
boldly up to the plant and apply for
work. That, indeed, had been his
original intention, but the sight of
the convict-train had given him food
for thought.
He was not quite decided as to
what status to assume. 1t now
looked as though in all probability
but a few skilled artisans were em-

ployed; the remainder Of the work
being done by the prisoners, such
as had gone by him yesterday.
While passing as coolie, he could
scarcely claim a knowledge Of
skilled workmanship.
Presently he came to ledge Of
rock and a cave. 1t was a dry shall
low hole, reaching back under an
overhang, of rock. Before 1t the lip
Of the ledge was covered with fallen
fragments of rock and bushes and
weeds. Gafford hailed 1t with de-
light. He promptly placed his blan-
ket and the remains Of his food in
its shelter. Then, taking a pair of
glasses which Spry had given him
before he left the yacht, he crept to
the edge of the cliff and lay down in
the weeds.
From his aerie he could look down
to the plant from an unobstructed
view. He focused the binoculars and
swept the scene. His admiration
grew as he continued his inspection.
1t was an extensive plant. Great
buildings were flunt wide before
him, their walls of concrete, their
roofs largely of glass, to Judge by
their sheen. Huge cupolas and
mighty stacks belched the cloud of
smoke which voiled the valley.
Spidery tramways led to the former,
and he could see men moving tiny
push-cars along their rails.
To one side he could mark the line
Of the railway he had followed, and
also switch, which seemed to lead
off from the works in the direction
of the hill on which he Law. He fol-
lowed it with his glasses, and there
swan into his vision an immense
circular structure, something like
the roundhouse Of a railroad. In
fact, that was at first what he be-
lieved it to be, and turned his glasses
back to the factory itself. Then, for
the first time. he took particular
notice of another structure on the
far side. 1t was vast, low-walled
compound, inside of which were sew
eral heavily constructed buildings
with barred windows.
In the wall of the compound, next
to the plant proper, was a massive
gate, and upon the walls paced what
he made out to be armed men. 1t
was the prisor-house in which were
kept the convict laborers at night.
Between the walls of this prison
bunk-house and the nearest of the
factory buildings was low bunga-
low-like structure, with pagodalike
roof.

BUCHANAN'S BIRTHPLACE
A Monument Erected Where the
Pennsylvania President
Was Born.

The birthplace OF Pennsylvania
only president Of the United States,
James Buchanan, has been adequately
marked.
President Buchanan was born at
Stony Batter. near the village OF
Foltz, in Franklin county. Before
the present monument was erected
there was nothing about the cabin In
which the fifteenth president first
saw the light of day to indicate that
1t had once sheltered the only son of
this state who became the head OF
the nation.
BY the will of President Buchanan's
niece, the late Harriet Johnson Lane
OF Washington, ID. c.. a sum of money
was set aside TO erect a marker at
her uncle's birthplace. The marker
Is pyramidal. 1t Is 81 feet high and
3S feet square. The body of the
mont -nent Is composed of native
stone set in cement. The inscription
plate and seat are made of best ham,
mered American gray granite. The
plate is by 2h feet and the inscrip-
tion is as follows:
This monument marks the birth
place OF James Buchanan, fifteenth
president of the United States. Born
23d April, 1871. Died 1st June, 1868"
The monument stands near the cab
In In which President Buchanan was
born.
