Kirb Dunmire and wife returned
last week from an overland trip to
Des Moines andTother points in Iowa.
Kirb says that the crops as far south
as Perry, Ia, are pretty good, hut
from that point south the corn is prac-
tically failure. They have had no
rain since June. and the pastures are
all dried up so that many farmers
have been forced to sell off all of
their stock with the exception of one
or two cows. This condition seems to
prevail all through southern Iowa, H.
linois and Nebraska, while the north
ern parts of these states are pretty
good. AS result of these conditions
the last estimates Of the government
crop report have reduced the esti-
mates. on corn by 800, 600. 900 BUSH
els.

ASPARAGUS CROP CARED FOR

The asparagus gro VerS seem to nave
at last found satisfactory solution OF
the question of how to get their pro-
duct to the New York markets in SELL
ing shape. When the season opened
the asparagus was loaded into freight
cars here, and was always two days in
getting into the market, and sometimes
as long as an entire week would elapse
before it would land there. 1t always
arrived in wilted condition, and the
growers were forced to take a reduced
price for it.
Ten days ago refrigerator cars were
tried and shipment was made every
second day. The asparagus arrived in
good shape, and the prices took cor
responding raise. The farmers from
a distance heard of the success of the
Middletown growers, and have added
their shipments to the Middletown car,
until now solid carload is shipped each
day. Growers from Sassafras, Galena,
Odessa and points even farther away,
are now bringing their asparagus here
for shipment and the car usually con-
tains about 400 cases of two dozen each.
Asparagus of the first fancy quality is
bringing about $500 dozen, and that
of the lower grades from So to $3.50 a
dozen.
The high cost of labor and fertilizer
is cutting into the profits of asparagus
growing, and many of the beds will be
after this year.

Prospect Good For Peaches

Peach trees are looking good this
year and indications are promising for a
good crop of the delicious fruit that has
made the name of Delaware famous.
The various orchards in Kent are now
being sprayed, and Kent county agent
NJ. M. Zimmerly is advocating the use
Of a dust spray instead of the liquid
spray. He has held a dusring demon
stration at the big orchards Of Cooper
and Terry. just south of Dover, on the
road to Camden. and the various grow
ers are awaiting the outcome of the
demonstration with great interest. The
trees in one section of the orchard were
'dusted" and the usual liquid spray
was used on the remainder of the trees.
If the dusting experiment proves that
the dust is as good as the liquid it will
mean q great saving to thu growers as
it is both less trouble and less expense
to use the dust.

TO CAMP ATT LOREW0Ol GROVE

Scout Executive Greenhawk, Big
Hawk. thanks the Middletown papers
for their kind offer to publish an an
nouncement of the big summer camp
for all registered scouts of the State.
This camp will be located at LorewGod
Grove on the Canal, only few miles
from Middletown, and l might add is
one of the prettiest spots yet visited
with the idea of using it for a camp
site. The camp this season will be bet
ter than that of last year because of
experienced adult leaders who have been
engaged. The constant supervision of
the Executive as director, new games,
greater possibilities. The idea of a
camp is to provide wholesome activit-
les for the scouts, who have been
holding their meetings mostly indoors
all the rest of the year, in a way truly
typical of scouting. The big idea of scout
ing is to teach boys to be physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight. This is accomplished by the
following activities in camp: Sleeping
in tents, Swimming in good clean water
Hiking among the pines, Living in the
open, boating, fishing, games, good
feed and Treasure hunts: studying
birds and trees, signalling, cooking and
scout tests and camp6res and observ-
ing laws and oath, democratic spirit
chivalary, honor, patriotism, being rev.
erent and above all things good scout.
This camp has fine location, plenty
of water safeguarded by strict rules for
boating and swimming, waterproof
tents, foored and the association with
live scouts from other sections. Big
Hawk hopes that every one of the Mid
dletown scouts will have the time to
visit this camp. Camp circulars de-
scribing the camps and its many charms
will be ready within few days and
will be placed in the hands of all scouts |
If you don't get one ask |
MIR. Clarence Weber for it, he has got
ten next to Big Hawk and has all the
dope for the coming camp.

Scout Executive of Delaware

our FARM WORKERS
Delaware Being Organized to Re-
lieve Conditions
SUPPLY OFFICE IN WILMINGTON

John F. Davis, farm help specialist,
has prepared the following on the sub
ject of Delaware being organized to re-
lieve the farm situation:
"With shortage of 1000 farm work.
ers in Delaware we must not hesitate to
take any steps that may be necessary to
organize the state to supply this help,
and prevent decrease in food produc-
ton in this critical hour. 1t is apparent
that no one agency will be successful in
affordjng complete relief to this serious
situation and for that reason the Boys
Working Reserve, the Public Service
Reserve, and the United States En-
ployment Service have combined under
one direction and in one Office at Sixth
and King Streets, Wilmington, to sup
ply farm labor To this Office also comes
the demand for help from the county
agents Office in each county. These
Offices have been especially equipped in
each county so that they can pass on to
the Wilmington office the request made
for help. At the Wilmington Office the
three sources Of supply already mention
ed are drawn upon to fill these requests
for help.
"Because of the demands made by
wartime industries and by the Army it
is apparent that these sources of help
are likely to prove inadequate, so that
still fulther effort must be made to tap
hitherto untouched sources of farm help
such as volunteer town labor, and any
woman Or girls camps that may be
founded for fruit picking. In some
states, of which New York is the most
notable example, many women's camps
were formed last year, and they were
found to be a very successful and salts
factory source of help for certain kinds
of work on the farms of that state.
These means will all afford an amount
of help that, in the aggregate, will be
very large. furthermore, D.laware's
compulsory work law will be in oper-
alton very soon, and 1t will tend to sim
gle out every man who is iding or hid
ing behind job that can be done eq-
ualIy as well by woman and place him |
on a farm where he Can do mans work |
toward forwarding our cause across
the seas. 1t is estimated that there are |
1000 men in Delaware who could be re-
placed by women, or are otherwise
available for farm work, who are not |
now employed in any position that is
helping to win the war. After all, that
is the primary consideration facing US
today, and an army of 1000 men on the
farms ofDelaware would beta great step
in that direction; we should not hesi-
ate to make move that will forward
this desired purpose.
