Pea CROP At BEST NOW

The pea crop in lower Delaware is
now al its best and all canning fact
ories which pack this vegetable are
now working at full force. The
TOrsch and Draper & Hirsch plants
in Milford have been running night
and day this week in order to keep
up with the rush. Each night this
week large numbers of wagons have
been left standing on the streets lead
ing to these factories because of the
numbers ahead of them. This was
noticeable on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
On the two latter evenings fully one
hundred wagons were waiting at the
Draper & Hirsch plant alone to be
unloaded Reports from the farmers

TO ISSUE MORE GOOD ROADS BONDS

Kent County Levy Court met in spe
cial session in Dover on Tuesday, to
prepare for the issue of the last $685.
900 of the 100000 good roads bond
issue authorized by the legislature.
The State Road from Dover to Fred
erica, recently completed by the cOun-
ty engineer. is one of the finest pieces
of road in the State of Delaware, for
a dirt road. 1t is as near pike road
as can be had.
A ride over twelve miles of this
road, on Sunday last, by many of
Kent citizens attending the funeral of
Mrs. VanBurkalow at Barratt's Chap
el. revealed to them a most remark
able change in the State road, which
is heartily commended by all
1t is presumed from the eagerness
of investors to secure Kent Countys
Good Road bonds, that there will be
no difficulty in dispOsing of the last
$25,O00 bond issue, to be awarded in
two or three weeks.

22O2 TOUNDS OF GOLDEN BUTTER,

Last week the output of beautiful
golden butter by the Milford Cream
cry was exactly 2202 pounds of high
grade butter The week previous the
output was 2O25, and so each week
there is a steady increase of butter
from this well managed creamery.
The farmers are finding that it saves
labor for them, and that they get as
much or more money all in a lump
sum at the end of the week, by deliv-
cry of cream to the creamery; and
they have the skinned milk at home
for use in feeding chickens and pigs;
which is no small advantage to the
farmers wife The farmers get their
butter at exactly the price they re-
ceive for their cream per pound,
which is a saving, and also they get
a better grade of butter The Milford
Creamery has paid ten per cent to
it's stockholders every year since it
was started. and they have a snug
sum in the surplus fund, which will
be available for any repairs or i'm
provements which may be necessary
in the future. without calling on the
stockholders to pay.

The referee found that the husband
had been supporting his wife and
child from November, 1913. until May

The referee made an award to the
widow and child
Ii is declared by the board that the

1t reversed the referee in his award
to the widow, saying:
She asserted and maintained an
independent status quite incompatible
with that independency contemplated
by our act She renounced her de-

the widows dependency is one of fact
