SMYRNA SPORTMEN START
EARLY IN QUEST OF GAME
CUNNING SEASON OPENS TO-DAY
WITH FIRST TOUCH OF WINTER
Quite Large Number Went Out on
This the Opening DaY-Rabbits and
Quail Reported Plentiful

To-day marks the opening of the
hunting season in this state for rabbit
and quail and many of orr local sports
men started out early this morning to
get first shot''. The day dawned
with the first touch of real winter.
The temperature was around about the
freezing point with low hanging
clouds and occasion snow fluIries. The
recent rains put an end to the long
drought and this morning there were
excellent conditions for trailing.
According to reports. game of both
kinds is plentiful, especially rabbits,
in the lower part of the State. Some
sections reports birds more numerous
than ordinary. The gnnners do not
have their way all their own for the
reason that more than the usual num-
Der OF farmers posted trespass notices
against dogs and gun and some of the
best hunting grounds were reserved
for the farmers and their personal
friends. Some of our Smyrna gun
ners went down in Sussex where game
is reported to be more plentiful. In
some parts of lower Delaware it is
believed some farmers have allowed
their dogs to run at large, resulting
in the destruction of much game.
People do not hesitate three or four
weeks before the opening of the gun
ming season to kill quail and rabbit if
they think they will not be detected.

EMBARGO ON WHEAT KEEPS
HIGH MARKET PRICE DOWN
CITY MARKETS REPORT WHEAT
AT $l.9o SMYRNA MARKET $3.50
Congestion at Grain Elevators in Big
Cities the Cause of Local Slump.
Tendency to Keep Flour Down

The embargo on wheat, which has
been in effect for the past two months,
has practically tied up the grain ship
ping industry in this section of Della
ware. Depsite the fact that wheat
is bringing 81. 80 a bushel in the west
ern markets, the grain is selling in
Smyrna from 81. 60 to 81. 70 busheI.
Only small quantities are being sold,
as it is practically impossible to sell
in carload lots while the embargo is
on. A. G. Massey & Company, Dover s
leading grain dealers, purchased a
carload of wheat several weeks ago,
and have been unable tn ship it out of
the State. When inquiries were made
at the Dover freight station relative
to the embargo the information given
out was that the situation was caused
by the congestion existing among the
grain elevators in the big shipping
centers and that there was no pros
,pect Of it being lifted very soon.
Many of Kent's farmers are holding
back their wheat until after the EN-.
barge is lifted, hoping to sell then
for $500 a bushel, and spectators
are buying up all they can secure at
81. so to sell at the higher figure
later on. The embargo, however,
while holding down the price of the
grain, is proving a boom to Delaware
as it prevents all the grain from
being shipped out of the State, and
thereby serves to keep down the price
of flour. If the embargo were lifted
the wheat would Immediately be
shipped to the big centers which
would naturally cause -four to mount
skywards, At the present time flour
is selling in Smyrna at SO to S12 a
barrel, but if Delaware wheat was
being shipped out of the State this
price would undoubtedly increase.

arrived at Little Creek on Saturday.
The boat is said to be of the latest
model and perfectly seaworthy in
every respect. Captain George Carey
of Little Creek is to have charge of
the boat for a while, by direction of
Governor Miller. There has been no
guardboat in Delaware bay for more
than five months, which naturally
caused complaint by oystermen, who,
paying their taxes, expected the pro-

GROWERS TO MEET AT DOVER

Coming Session of Peninsula Horti-
culture Society Promises to be the
Most Interesting Held in Years
The Peninsula Horticultural Society
will hold its thirtieth Annual Session,
in Dover, Delaware. January 9, 10 and
IL, 1917. 1t will be attended by the
most practical fruit growers of Della
ware and Chesapeake Peninsula who
will discuss their problems of growing
and marketing fruits and vegetables.
The program has not been completed,
but assurances have been received
from Prof. J. C. Whitten, of Missouri,
and Mr.. j. P. Stewart, of Pennsyl-
vania, that they will be present and a
number of other outside speakers
have been invited to attend the meet
ing. The workers in the Horticultural
Departments of the Delaware Agri-
cultural College and the Maryland
Agricultural College will be present to
read papers on their specialties and
to answer questions. The exhibit of
fruit and vegetables to be made at
the time of the meeting will be held
in the State Armory, together with
the exhibit of the Delaware State
Corn Growers Association. These
exhibits are expected to fill the entire
Armory and will doubtless prove very
attractive and instructive. The pro-
gram for the Corn Growers meeting
will follow the program of the Horti-
cultural meeting and will be carried
through Friday, January II, when
the meeting will close. More than
$4,000 will be awarded in prizes for
the fruit, vegetables and grains that
will be on exhibition and upon the
whole the occasion will be one of
great interest and value to the farmers
on the peninsula. Admission will be
free to all the meetings and all the
exhibits.

took over the job. The King Lum-
Der Company took the contract
more than a year ago, and the price of
labor and materials has increased to
such an extent that they were compel
led to turn it over to their bonding
company. With the loss of time az
above mentioned work is now being
held up by the unfinished plumbing
work. The contracting plumber is

MAY VOTE oNLIQUoR QUESTION
80 " Leaders Claim Resubmission is
Likely for Rural New Castle

1t was reported Saturday that there
is a possibility of the coming session
of. the General Assembly providing for
re-submission of the license question
in rural New Castle county. To bring
this about it is necessary for a ma
iority of the members of both houses
from rural New Castle county to sign
a petition asking for re-submission.
If this is done it would be compulsory
for the General Assembly to pass an
act fixing the time for holding the
special election. Some of the "dry'
leaders. it is said, claim that a ma
iority of hoth the Senate and House
members in the rural districts of New
Castle county will sign a re-submis-
sion petition. There are five State
Senators in rural New Castle and ten
Representatives, which would make it
necessary to get the signatures of
three Senators and six Representatives
to make the re-submission petition
effective. The "drys" seem to think
that they can DO this and the liquor
interests are much concerned over the
situation.

Senator Willard Salisbury of Della

floor leaGers in the Senate to succeed
John w. Kern of Indiana, who was
defe ated for reelection. Senator
Salisbury. earned his party's graft
tude for his conspicuous service dur
ing the campaign. The Delaware
Senator was located during the cam
paign at the Chicago headquarters and
took an active part in the western
campaign which gave President Wilson
his majority in the electoral col lege
after Mr.. Hughes had carried most
of the large middle west States. Mr..
Salisbury has also been talked of as
president pro tempore of the Senate,
a position held by the late Senator
James P. Clarke of Arkansas. II
seems sure that the Delaware Senator
will be given one of these honors by
the Democratic members of the Senate.
