FARMERS ASSOCIATION
SHIPS ITS TOMATOES
REFUSAL OF BUYERS TO BID
FOR TOMATOES, FARMERS DECIDE
NOT TO SELL TO LOCAL MEN.
LOADED FULL CAR MONDAY
JUST HOW THE FIGHT WILL TERMINATE
REMAINS TO Be SEEN. THE BUYERS
FILLED HALF CAR MONDAY.

Friday Of last week those farmers
who had Joined the Produce Associa-
ton in Milford were unable to sell
their tomatoes to buyers in Milford.
The farmers were asked whether they
had Joined the association and If they
stated that they had, they were not
given a bid for their tomatoes. The
farmers state that this means Of
breaking up the association was taken
by the buyers. On Saturday they got
busy and decided to fight the matter
out to a finish They in turn decided
that under no consideration would they
sell to the local men.
On Monday the result Of their de-
cision was apparent. Notwithstanding
the fact that the season is a very
short one and the tomatoes are scarce,
the farmers loaded a full car on Mon
day. The buyers filled about half
car. Just how the fight will terminate
remains to be seen, but many of the
farmers have gone so far as to say
that even should the association not
be in existence next year they will
refuse to grow tomatoes for any OF
the men who formed the combine
against them. The tomato growers are
mad and claim that they are so thor
oughly organized that they now COM
mand the tomato situation in this sec
tion of the two lower counties.

FORT SALISBURY SHOTS

H. G. Mccormick is taking a well
earned vacation. He is visiting his
home at Raphine, Va. C. D. Stansil1
has charge during his absence.
Williamson and his crew made a
haul of fourteen bushels the other
night. The fish may run in large
schools this fall Now is the time to
do our sailing.
Mrs. H. G. Mccormick and baby
Carolyn arrived safely after their auto
trip from Philadelphia to Raphine, Va.
They are having royal time in the
good old Southland.
The fishing this summer has not
been on huge scale. The fishermen
tell us that while high prices have pre-
vailed, the catch has been so short that
they did not even make a living in this
time of high prices.
What is the matter with that con-
test between the Red Men and the Odd
Fellows? The men interested here in
both organizations want the thing
fought to finish. Get together now
and stage game of ball soon.
Mrs. ]. F. Rock has been quite ill.
The country here is salubrious-we
have very few sick people. On an op-
Grafton like this it is remarkable how
few accidents we have. Uncle Sam is
very kind to those who are injured in
his employ.
At the preaching service last Thurs
day night Rev. Davis was greatly help
ed by the stirring testimony of George
DriscOll of Chincoteague and ]. w.
Parsons of Milford. 1t is well for pro-
Tossing Christians to show their colors
under all circumstances.
The beach birds have been numer-
GUS. Hunting parties now visit US;
them, our game warden. Some
folks think he came not simply to
shoot, but to get the lay of things. It
is a great temptation to some to shoot
ducks since there are fiocks of them
settling on the marshes.
September is here. The time for
the fading and the falling of the leaf
has come. I'VE all do fade as the
leaf" We take the color, our favOrite
color, from the skies. When we fade
and fall, in death, the color we have
taken in during life is the color stamp
ed upon us in death. "The sere and
yellow leaf" is a sad reminder of
colorless life. Death tells the worlR
what we are.
Some of our oldest men are leaving
US. Alexander Still will be engaged
in driving piles for Wilmington con-
Germ He is highly commended in this
line by our head men here. Then our
old blacksmith, William H. Mears. will
engage in his profession elsewhere. |
Daniel M. Collins and I. C. Hudson
from our carpenters gang have also
left us. The association with these
men on the job has been congenial

The report of County Engineer
Gooden showed many bridges washed
out in Kent county during the storm
two weeks ago, several of them on the
main highways, greatly inconvenience
ing public travel. The matter of the
bridges was left with the county en-
gineer and a committee named by the
court, Commissioners Hope, Slaughter
and Williams.
In several instances mill dams also
were washed away and the chances
are they will not be rebuilt, because
of the expense.

MILFORD SCHOOLS REOPEN

At a joint meeting of the Board of
Education of the State, of Kent county
and of special districts, held in Dover
on Thursday, August 2S, the superin-
tendent of Kent county schools and the
superintendents of the special districts
were instructed by the State Board of
Education to open the schools on Sep
tember 2, as specified in the school
law.
The schools of Milford special dis
trict were opened on Tuesday Septem-
Der 2. according to instructions.
The number in the primary grades
Q-4) is about 1870; in the grammar
grades (5-S about 200; and in the
high school, 100. The number increases
from day to day and when who intend
to enter shall have registered, the
school building will not be large
enough to accommodate them all. The
class rooms are already proving too
small for the grades. Many pupils are
coming from outside of the district,
both into the grades and into the high
school.
In the high school there are three
courses offered to the pupils. The vo-
cational courses are open to both boys
and girls. For the boys there is the
agricultural course, continued as last
year, with a change from Plant Hus-
bandry to Animal Husbandry. The
school board contemplate installing a
manual training department as soon
as the funds are assured. For the
girls there is the course in home eco
nomics, Embracing sewing, cooking and
other household activities. The aca-
demic course has been arranged for
the pupils who may some time intend
to enter college. The general course
has been planned for the large num-
Der who may either intend to go to
technical schools or enter upon the
practical business of life. The voca-
tional courses should prove very pop
ular, for they offer the most practical
things of all the high school courses.
The boys who are interested in agri-
culture, either by reason of rearing
of otherwise, will find congenial work
along the lines of their own interest. |
the girls who take a deep in
terest in domestic affairs should find
in the domestic science department a
course or courses worthy of their best |
efforts as students. There is a de-
cidedly intellectual side to these
and students have only to en-
ter them seriously to discover this. |
The opportunities for good scholarship
are not confined to old-line subjects. |
It has proven difficult for the pupils |
TO select courses that seemed entirely |
but before the end of the |
week they will be attending classes
regularly and entering upon the SER
ious work of the school year. The /
primary and grammar grades have
been at work since the first day.
The teachers invite the patient CO.
operation of the parents and friends
If the pupils.
