ROUNDS SELLS FARM

Arthur Rounds, Delaware's
Tomato King, has sold his farm
near Welsh Tract to Alfred Har
vey Davis. Mr.. Davis will take
possession sometime during the
late fall. Mr.. Rounds has pur-
chased a place just outside OF
Camden, Kent county.
Rounds has attracted consider
able attention these last few years
in growing tomatoes. By some
trick in seed selection, manuring
cultivation or other agricoleau
slight of hand, he has succeeded
in the popular yield of 10 tons
plus to the acre. This year. he
has two acres that will test a few
pounds around Is tons per acre.
Rounds tomato seed and eX
planation were last winter Farm
Institute topics. And judging from
his increased yield this year, he's
in for it again.

Jeannette Eckman Accepts
Position on State Committee

The political event of the week
was the announcement of Charles
Warner, chairman of Republican
State Committee of the appointment
of Miss Jeanette EcKman, of Will
mington, as Assistant Secretary Of
the State Committee. This action, by
authority of the Committee was taken,
to take care of additional work incl
dent to the passage of Woman's Suf-
frage Amendment. Miss Eckman's
appointment is meeting with general
approval. Her work for the past sew
eral years has been with civic affairs
in city an dstate. She was one of the
originals of the Public Service Board
and its executive secretary until it
was taken over by the Service Citi-
zens. During the war she was Sec
retary of the Women's Committee of
the State Defense Council, as well as
Secretary of the Health Committee of
that organization. At the close of the
war she was chosen Assistant Secre-
tary of the Delaware State Program
and has had practically entire charge
of this work for the Five State Com
missions.
In legislation pertaining to Health
Education, Charities, she has been ar
effective leader. She has probably q
wider acquaintance with Delaware
men and women than any woman ir
the State-all of which makes hel
especially qualified for her new posi-
ton. She is practical idealist anc
knows the game of politics. In he1
new position, she will be subject t.
call from the various women's organl
cations and communities, interested
in the registration of the womel
voters.
Her resignation from the Stat
Program has been accepted and sh
vii lbegin her new work at once.
