An unusual large number of people
are planning to exhibit fruit at the
Peninsula Horticultural Show in Bridge
vile on January 14-17. Although some
of the largest exhibitors may not have
as much fruit as they have had in
former years. The total prizes offered
for fruit and vegetables will amount to
about $1,000. prizes we'll worth the lime
and cost of making exhibits. Special
prizes of Pyrox are offered by the Bow
ker 1nsecticide Company so pounds as
first prize for the best box of apples
and 25 pounds for the second prize for
the second best box of apples.
Prizes are offered in order to secure
the exhibits but the educational results
are the real rewards that come from
the exhibition of fine fruit. These re-
wards come to all who visit the show
and examine the fruit and learn how
such fine results are accomplished. But
the exhibitors themselves get the great
est rewards for their interest is more
keenly aroused and they go home deter
mined to do better next time. The
profit of fruit growing is in direct pro-.
portion to the quality of the fruit pro-
duced, and the profit Of orchardine is
the final reward that is desired.

MILK PROBLEM

Farmers of this community are very
much exercised over the threatened cut
in the wholesale price Of milk and sew
eral of the leading milk producers from
here attended meeting in Wilmington
on Saturday last to enter protest
against the reduction.
The unusually mild weather of the
early winter, together with the heavy
feeding caused a larger output of milk
from here than was ever known. Most
of the milk was shipped to Wilmington,
on account Of better shipping condi-
tions than to other points, and several
of the Wilmington milkmen have been
swamped with milk, and have turned
off some of the largest producers. This
has caused dissatisfaction among the
farmers, and many will reduce their
herds.
The Middletown Farms Company is
taking more milk now than ever before
at this time of the year, and has open
ed its plant at Ceciton, Md, as a
cheese plant and a maker from the
northern part Of New York state has
been engaged to take charge there On
Saturday last the company shipped 14O
large cans of milk to New York city to
relieve the milk shortage there, caused
by the strike of the milk producerson
account Of the reduction in prices which
went into effect two weeks ago.

ASKING 70, APPROPRIATE JNS

The Delaware State Fair is laying be-
fore the 1919 legislature certain bills
asking for two appropriations. One for
the increase in the appropriation direct
ly applicable to premiums the other an
appropriation for building in which to
house all of the agricultural depart
ments and the work Of the women and
children The Delaware State Fair
with its grounds at Elsmere is state
interest and monument and credit to
the Stat. and should be supported by
all. During The reconstruction days of
the future it will be through tte medi-
um of the Fairs, state and county, that
the farmer viii get newer and better
ideas of how to produce more and to
conserve. Thus regarding him as the
back bone of the country. great con-
sideration should be given to him and
his crops. If building is provided
wherein the farm produce may be
housed and displayed and if more fit
ting premium can be offered for his en-
deavor to produce the best. then and
not until then, can the State of Della
ware hope to stand shoulder to shoulder
and on equal ground with the other
State Fair associations who are always
trying to raise their standards. When
the Legislature convenes at Dover it
represents great hand with its fingers
on the pulse of the State. The people
need, want and deserve these improve
ments for the Fair and it is to be hoped
that the Legislature will consider the
bills favorably.

II have just received letter from
the Home Office" said Mr.. Shallcross,
containing the revised price schedule
effective January 1st, 1919, covering
the various Buick models during the re.
mainder of the season. Four models
have been reduced in price and the
other two remain untouched.
''There has been considerable specu-
lation as to what the Buick >iotor Com

left things in such an uncertain condi-
ton regarding the price and quantities
Of raw material available that good
many people felt it would be impossible
for the really big manufacturers to find
their bearings for some time to come.
This prompt action on the part of
the Company shows that they have
been able to clear the situation up SOON
er than anybody expected. and l for
one am delighted with the announce
ment so earlv in the season.
Their war orders which have been
demanding the major part of their
energies have been completed and the
announcement of the present prices evil
dence that the Buick Motor Company
now has a measure of the situation and
sufficient material is in sight that will
permit laying out definite building
schedule which again proves the buyer
of Buick automobile is at all times
protected against unwarranted price
changes.
''Orders for Buick cars are piling up
on us very fast and feel reasonably
sure that we shall be able to take care
of the greater part of them within a
reasonable time. We shall continue to
follow our old policy of filling orders,
and will make every effort to see that
no favoritism is shown our waiting list,
which plan has worked out so admirably
in the past
''Buick enthusiasts appreciate the i'm.
portance of this announceme 1t, because
all uncertainty has now been removed,

cars this year and the possibility of the
prices being raised or lowered"

sented a handsome silk embroidered
state flag, regulation army size as a
Christmas gift to the State. Hereto.
fore Delaware has had no state flag, q
last May when the governors of the
several states met in Philadelphia. The

ouests and when not in use will rest in
