LADY BYZANTINE DEAD

Lady Byzantine, the most famous of
aristocratic chickens. is dead. The
supremacy of Lady Byzantine dates to
her pullet year when she astonished
fanciers of the feathered focks by
laying 315 eggs in an egg-laying con-
test at Newark. Del. She won easily
every competition in which she was
ever entered.
Not the least of her distinctions was
that of being the only hen ever to
occupy a private suite in a hotel.
Whenever she was exhibited away
from the Byzantine farms a private
suite was always engaged for Lady
Byzantine.
This hen, of the single comb, white
leghorn breed, left only nine cockrels
and three pullets as her descendants.
Only seventeen of her eggs were ever
sold and these brought the record
price of $40 each.

FRUIT GROWERS TAKE A
MOST SIGNIFICANT step

One of the most significant events
from an agricultural standpoint, that
has occurred in Delaware recently
was the organization lately of a Fruit
! Growers Association of Delaware, the
object of which is to advertise and
standardize the numerous products OF
this State. and especially the proper
marketing of apples.
This association was organized at
meeting held in the State House, at
the call of the State Board of Agri-
culture, at which time an interesting
address on the subject of the proper
grading, packing and shipping Of ap-
pies was made by B d. Van Buren, Of
the New York Department of Agricul-
ture, who is a recognized authority on
the subject. The meeting was at
tended by many apple growers from
all parts of Delaware, and they Sc
cured much valuable information on
the proper care of fruit from the New
York expert.
Officers Of the new association were
elected as follows: W. M. Dixon, of
Woodside, president; W. P. Peach,
New Castle County, F. C. Bancroft,
Kent County, and Alvan Bacon, .Sus-
sex County, vice presidents; F. L.
Richardson, Dover, secretary.
Among those who spoke, in addition
to MIR. Van Buren, were F. M. Soper,
the apple king" Prof. McCue and
DR.. Hayward, Delaware College; W.
M. Dixon, W. P. Peach, Barrett Con-
ner, Newton L. Grubb, Samuel H.
Derby and John Wesley Taylor. Pro-
fessor McCue, Herbert Richardson, F.
c. Bancroft and Kent county's new
county agent, Mr. Zimmerly, were
named as a committee on constitution
and bylaws.
In commenting upon the organiza-
tion of the Fruit Growers Association
of Delaware, Professor Wesley Webb,
secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture, who was one of those instru-
mental in holding the meeting which
gave birth to the association, declar-
ed that it was a big thing for the state,
and should prove of great benefit to
the apple growing industry He point
ed out that the apple industry is in
creasing steadily, in this state, as is
shown by the figures giving the num-
Der of baskets shipped over the Del !
aware railroad during the past seven |
or eight years.
Prof. Webb declares that on ac- |
count of the blight and various other !
the crop this year, 1916, will /
only be about rs per cent. Of what it |
would have been under normal condi-
tons. He expects the 1916 crop to
be about 100000 baskets.

The steamer Washingtonian, which
was sunk off Fenwick Island on Feb
ruary IA, 1914, after collision with the
Elizabeth Palmer, has been abandoned
by the Wells Engineering Corporation

ing her. The steamer was estimated
to be worth $2,0OO,OOO to the wrecking
company that could raise her After
careful investigation Of the sunken
steamer it was discovered that a large
hole had been made on one side, pre-
sumably by the explosion of dynamite

HENRY KUTTER INJURED

While crossing Railroad avenue at
the Carnival grounds early Wednes-
day evening, Henry Nutter. of West
Second street, North Milford, was
badly injured when he was struck by
an automobile and dragged along the
roadway. The car was driven By
Frank May, of near Shawnee. So far
as can be learned by the writer, May
seems to have been looking at the
Carnival grounds and failed to see Mr..
Nutter when he stepped into the road
way. After striking the man, May
brought the car to a stop as soon as
possible. Mr.. Nutter was taken to
the Milford Emergency Hospital.
where an examination disclosed a
broken rib, badly torn ear, and num-
erous cuts and bruises. He is an
elderly gentleman.

PAPER FAMINE and PRICES
(Manufacturer's Record)

The price Of paper, which has ad-
vanced from 100 to 200 per cent or
more, over prices prevailing a year
| ago, seriously threatens the life of a
large number of publications through
out the country, and greatly lessons
/ the profits of others
1t is doubtful if any other large in
dustry in the United States has had to
face so serious a situation, because
when prices of raw materials have ad-
vanced the manufacturers Of the fin
ished products have advanced their
prices and thus thrown their burden
upon the ultimate consumer. In the
newspaper business this has not yet
been done. The newspapers, from the
largest dailies to the smallest week
lies, have been bearing the burden
which to many publications will mean
complete destruction and to many
others the wiping out of all profit.
Had the newspapers of the country
been as prompt to defend their own
interests as they have the interests of
others, they, too, would before this
have undertaken to save themselves
by an advance in subscription price
and in advertising rates. Under ex-
isting conditions they will be forced
to do this sooner or later, and they
can not postpone it much longer with
out serious financial embarrassment
to man y of them. Hundreds of the
smaller weeklies, including the relig-
ious papers, which have had but a
very narrow margin between loss and
profit will, we fear, suffer most seri-
ously, and many of them disastrously.
unless the public promptly recognizes
the situation and accepts an advance
in subscription and in advertising
rates, and thus save the situation.
The day laborer, the mechanic. the |
farmer, and nearly all business inter !
ests, manufacturing and mercantile. |
under the activity of the times, are |
showing larger earnings than for |
years. But the newspapers, as a |
whole, are meeting a more perplexing |
problem in the doubling, and in some /
cases the trebling, of price of paper, |
and in the absolute inability to con-
tract in advance for supplies, than
they have ever had to face before.
The statements which have recently
appeared in the daily papers on the
subject do not at all exaggerate the
Of the problem.
