SMYRNA SCHOOL GARDEN TALK.
More Advise Given Under the Direc-
ton of Pro. Nj. F. ThurstOn.-Use
of Sodium Nitrate on Gardens

Vegetables which may be planted
soon are beets, carrots, parsnips, let
tuce, satisfy, spinach, wrinkled-seeded
peas, caulifiOwer, celery, seed onions,
chard, and parsley. The recommen-
dations are based on the average date
of the killing frost, which varies for
this zone from April l to May l. If
you know from experience what the
date is for this immediate locality you
can guage your planting accordingly.
Among the vegetables above mention
ed, carrots, parsnips, seed onions, and
perhaps others have difficulty in break
ing through the crust made by rains.
A few radish seeds scattered along
the row will germinate quickly, break
the crust and be ready to pull by the
time the slower more delicate plants
have fairly started growth. This will
result in an even uniform stand of
the more slowly and weakly growing
plants. Any vegetable in which quality
depends upon quick growth, as for eX-
ample, radish, lettuce, and most if not
all salad crops will be improved in
tenderness and succulence if sodium
nitrate is applied as a top dressing
This is a fertilizer material which may
be obtained at the cost of only a few
cents a pound. The most convenien
method of applying this in a small
garden is to dissolve it at the rate 0.
a teaspoonful in gallon of water
and water the ground between th
rows with the solution, removing tn
sprinkler from the watering can i
necessary, to avoid weting the leaves
which would be burned by the solu
ton. In larger gardens mix it wit
several times its bulk of sand or DIR,
soil, and scatter it sparingly betwee
the rows at the rate of 10O-150 lb
per acre.

LOWER sMYRNA-DOvER ROAD
Only About Two Miles to be Built
Which Will be Completed SOOn-ROads
up Country Take Spring Squirt.

Delaware's state highway commits
sion at a meeting in Dover last week,
mapped out plans for large program
of road work in Delaware during the
present year. Because of the eXcep-
tionally mild and open winter, work
has already begun. The completion
of the Dover-Smy1na stretch of near
ly two miles will be finished within a
few weeks. Contracts have been ask
ed for road work between Delmar and
Laurel and Seaford and Bridgeville,
in Sussex county. Awards will be
made as soon as bids are received.
Bids were opened for the completion
of the Shellpot Park road, Whining
ton, or the Philadelphia pike, the low
est bid being 100000 from the Sub
urban Engineering and Construction
Company, under the engineers esti-
mate based on last years prices of
material. New Castle county road
work is taking a spring squirt. Main
tenance gangs are already out, and
material is being placed on the ground.
Contract work is also being under
taken. On the Lincoln Highway work
three contracts are going ahead. The
Eastern Paving Company has its
steam shovel in action at Marshallton.
The Standard Bithulitic Company, on
the half mile of road between Newark
and State line, has started grading
and has also started two bridges.
On the section between Wilmington
and Marshallton, the same company
has started to grade near Prices
Corner.

STILL AT SEA OVER TOMATOES.
Growers and Packers Have Not Yet
Gotten Together on Prices.

Farmers and Gamers in the lower
part of New Castle county have not
reached an agreement on prices yet.
1t is feared that the farmers will not
plant tomatoes this year, as they
claim they cannot proftably raise
them less than $25 per ton. On the
other hand, the packers claim they
cannot pack the tomatoes at any pro-
fit if they have to pay $25 a ton for
the tomatoes. The disagreement be-
tween the Gamers and growers unless
amicably settled soon means that lots
of people will be out of work during
the season, as the canning industry
has provided employment for many
people. The Gamers are offered only
$1.4O per doz., and this they claim is
the cause of them not being able to
pay $500 a ton for the tomatoes.

WIND STORM DOES SOME
DAMAGE ABOUT SM RNA
ELECTRIC LIGHT AND TELE-
PHONE POLES BLOWN DOWN
Much Speculation as to Amount of
Damage Done to Fruit But Relief is
Expressed, Damage was Slight

Smyrna and vicinity, like all sec
tions of Delaware and the East, suf- /
fered more or less from the wind
storm of Friday night and Saturday.
While snow and hail fell and the theO-
mometer took a drop to near the
freezing point, it is not fully deter
mined whether fruit was hurt OF not.
The fact of their being a strong wind
probably saved the buds from being
nipped by the frost. The wind blew
a 70 mile gale and fences, old out
buildings were razed to the ground in
a number of Instances. Telephone
and telegraph poles were blown down.
In Smyrna fully half a dozen cleo
trio light poles were blown down and
fully as many street lamps put out
of commission. Superintendent Will
Wilson of the electric light plant and
his helpers were pretty much all day
Saturday repairing the damage done
and what was not repaired Saturday
was done on Monday. All over rural
Delaware the wind was severe. For
three days the thermometer had
been lowering around summer heat,
but on Friday afternoon about 6
o'clock a dark cloud came from the
west and in a short time the rain be-
gan to fall heavily. When the rain
came the wind began to increase and
did much damage along country roads
by blowing down trees and mixing
badly, telegraph and telephone wires.
About IL o'clock Friday night the
rain turned into hail and snow, which
continued for about four hours. 1t
was then that the thermometer began
to run down a degree or so near the
freezing point. Many people had
their vegetable gardens partly set out
There has never been before such z
hard windstom to stay as long as
this one did.
Fruit Not Damaged Much, is Relief
While the sudden change in the
weather around Smyrna and Dove
has been quite severe on fruit tree
and early vegetables, several farmer
and fruit growers interviewed, do no
think the fruit has been damaged tt
a great extent. While the tree bud
f were we'll developed, and some il
blossom, it is believed the high wind
: have kept the buds from freezing
Down around Bridgeville in SUISSE,
! county, the sudden change in tn
n weather has caused much wOrr
q among the fruit growers. With tn
D extreme high winds prevailing, how
Q ever, no great damage so far has bee
q done because the buds had bee

+ freezing. The trouble now is that o

ROBERT E. LEE

Tomorrow, Sunday, January 10, VIII
be the anniversary of the birth OF
Robert E. Lee, an occasion during the
past thirty years celebrated by r. E.
Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans,
of this city, and by other camps
throughout the southern country, as
we'll as similar organizations IN
Washington, New York and north
ern and western cities. In Alexandria
the-survivors Of the late Southern
Confederacy paraded in the afternoon
and gathered in front of the Con-
federate Monument at Prince ana
Washington streets where a2proprlat
services were held. These occasions
always brought large assemblages
to that place, where orations were de-
liyered and musical exercises part!cl-
pated in. Later the cortege moved
to Christ Church yard, where the re-
mains Of Confederaes rest ana
salute was fired over their mounds
The occasion closed with reunion
and banquet in Lee Camp Hall at
night where addresses were DC
livered often by some OF the
most prominent men in the coHn-
try.
The banquet feature will b" omitted
this year; there will be no annual re-
union of the wearers Of the grey.
Confederate Veterans Hall IS now
being used by the Red Cross, but this
does not mean that there will in fu-
ture be no more reunions of the sur
v!vors Of the Confederacy. Some
still live and move among us VINO foi-
lowed Robert f. Lee durin" the Tour
wears civil war, and when the world
shall have again resumed normal
conditions we may look fer other
gatherings of the wearers of the
grey or January 10.
''Robert Z. Lee has been the theme
Of many spirited addresses during
the past half 4 century. Unlike mill
tsrv leaders who have fought in ar
unrightecus cause, this great ccn-
mander and Christian gentleman
posed more nobly in defeat than in
success. Re was not forced to HE
himself away TO 4 retreat III 4 neutHa
country after the collapse OF the cause
for which he fought, but was COM
PEELED to seek retreat in his native
state far from the curious crowd whG
desired to honor him. He accepted
position in enc Of Virginia'S greatest
institutions Of learning and passed
the few remaining years Of his
life teaching the new generation
which had sprung up during the lie
Of the Southern Coniederac-.
While the NEST interesting fea-
\ lures of the nineteenth of January
will be omitted this year, but Few
persons in the country. especially in
the South, will be oblivious of the
fact that It marks the anniversary
CT the birth of man who was not
only an honor to Old Virginia. but
of whom both sections of the country
are justly proud.
