Tomato Growers Announce
Rate For Coming Season

According to a statement issued
recently twenty-five dollars ton,
or 4134 cents basket, is the price
agreed upon by the members of the
Peninsula Tomato Growers Asso-
citation for this years crop. The
tomato growers are organizing
and have started a movement
to decrease the acreage this year
to prevent an oversupply as well
as to keep the price high enough
"to allow a small profit to the
grower" it is added. The state
ment in full follows:
"The meeting of the Peninsula
Tomato Growers Association, at
Seaford, Del, on March 13, disclos-
ed that growers all over the penin-
sula are organizing. Delegates of
the growers were present from
Kent and Sussex counties, Del,
and from Kent, Caroline, Hartford,
Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico,
and Worcester counties in Mary
land. The new associations are
being organized with large men,
bership, one at Bridgeville alone
having 100 members.
"The price growers should ask
for their tomatoes this year was
discussed. Twenty-Five dollars per
ton, or Aba cents per basket, was
the price which the majority con-
sidered would allow the grower a
small profit, under favorable con-
ditions, although the delegates
from several sections said most OF
their growers could not and would
not grow them at that price.
"All the delegates agreed to have
their local associations work fOl
decreased acreage in order tC
prevent an oversupply and conse
quent waste of tomatoes, and alst
to keep the price high enough tt
allow a small profit to the grower
The contract price this year of thu
association is S25 per ton, and can
ners should figure on this price fol
the part Of their pack which they
intend to contract"

DR.. Barry Defends
The American Soldier

The following clipping from an Ok
ford paper will serve to correct some
erroneous ideas concerning returning
soldiers;
In recent meeting Of one of Ok
ford's Civic Organizations, one OF the
ladies is reported to have asked what
measures shall we take to protect the
community from the spreading OF
social and other diseases by the re-
turned soldiers" The discussion which
followed is said to have revealed the
fact that many of the women OF the
town have an entirely wrong concep-
tion of the soldiers who are now re-
turning from overseas.
In this connection Dr.. c. l.. Barry,
Captain in the American Expedition
ary forces, makes the following state
ment: "Tell the good ladies of the
town that their worry should not be to
protect the community from the re-
turned soldier, but to save the soldier
from the community. The American
soldier is not returning laden with
plague and pestilence. He is not a
leper to be Stunned. Instead, he is a
member of the American Expedition
ary Force, the cleanest body of young
men that the world has ever seen. His
red discharge stripe is equivalent to a
bill of health, for no man suffering
from loathsome or contagious dis
eases can be discharged. He must re-
main until cured. The percentage OF
social diseases in the American Army
is about one-fifth that which prevails
in civil life. Further than that, the
teaching of hygiene and sanitation in
the army has given every boy train
ing that will make him the most pot
ent force in stamping out the diseases

TO STOCK RIVER WITH SHAD

Efforts will be made this spring
by the Pennsylvania Fisheries
Commission to stock plentifully the
Delaware river with young shad.
The young shad will be liberated
near the Delaware Water Gap, as
fish experts, after years of study
of the causes for decline of shad
in the river, believe the young fish
face fewer natural enemies in that
section than farther down the

Plan To Develop County
Into A Dairy Cattle Center

1t was pointed out by J. S, Moore,
Of Middletown, project leader, at
dinner given in Wilmington recently
end by J. D. Reynolds, chairman Of
the State Holstein Friesian Associa-
tion that if the grade bulls of the
county were supplanted with pure
bred calves, in surprising short
time the county would develop into
dairy cattle center. Livingston
county, Michigan, was cited as dairy
center which attracts buyers of dairy
cattle from all parts of the United
States because practically every far
mer of the county is a breeder of
well bred cattle. 1t was estimated
that within five years after this pro-
jet is complete that New Castle
county will be selling cattle to some
# those buyers who have been going
TO Livingston county, Michigan. A
pure bred bull on every farm is the
goal set by the Farm Bureau in this
county.
Each committeeman spoke on tho
project as it concerned his commun.
ity, and a definite plan of procedure
was adopted which will be applicable
to the entire county. Many grade
bulls will be exchanged for pure bred
bull calves, and before the project is
complete it will probably be neces-
sary to ship into the county one or
more car loads of young pure bred
bulls. A standard sign board, two by
three feet, which will be purchased in
wholesale lots, was adopted. Each
sign will state the name of the farm
and the name of the herd sire. Every
| farmer who owns a pure bred bull OF
Intends purchasing one will be urged
to secure one of these signs.
Each committeeman was made re,
sponsible for the project and every
man left the meeting determined tt
exert his influence to replace the
grade bulls with pure breds in his re
spective community.

endeavor has been made to adopt
what is known as the "Indo-Saracenic"
style of architecture. For the rest the

English shops, where English or Eu-
rasian assistants traffic in English
goods. English carriages and motors
bowl along the macadamized or tarred
roads Of old England. On every hand
there is evidence of the instructive eff
fort to reproduce, as nearly as the eli
mate will permit, English conditions
