GOOD FRUIT CROP ON THE

RATHER THAN A DAMAGE

Fruit Seasons Ever known
Peaches Coming Back

Delaware and the Eastern Shore o4
maryland and Virginia are passino
through a severe winter and there has
Deen much fear and speculation as II
what damage may have been done to
the fruit trees. According to several
agnculturalists down the State the
trees have not suffered anv harm and
one OF the largest fruit seasons ever
known is predicted. Delaware is ran
IDLY regaining its old fame as a peach
growing state and peach growing will
once more become one of the chief in
o0stnes. In commenting upon the
culture OF peachs in Delaware in re-
cent years, an agriculturalist pointed
cut that a few years ago the DR.. Mar
Vlr' farm, near Dover, was sold for
about $1,000 and at that time contain
e4 100 acres. About three years ago
63 acres of it sold for $4,000, but the
63 acres included one of the best
peach orchards in the State. This sale.
and the fact that there has been no
sale Of any consequence since, is re-
garded as a substantial proof that
Delaware peach orchards are no long
er drug on the market.
1t has taken the farmers a long
time to discover that by spraying
and careful cultivation they can con-
quer the disease that affects the trees,
and many new orchards have been set
cut. Kent and Sussex counties are
now dotted with young peach orchards
and the fruit is of course the best.
Sprays are used freely, with the re-
suit that the trees today are in better
condition than for a number of years.
All over this section of the Delmarvia
Peninsula the weather conditions seem
to be just right for the fruit.

other time. The experience of The
wlsest and gOdliest of Christian men
ard women has proven its value and
necessity. The Bible shows us The
reason for it. How carefully Christ
called off His disciples for a season
INTO retirement even from the work
they were doing for Him, that He
might speak to them again of the
things pertaining to the Kingdom of
Heaven" This is why we are now
called to turn from the things of the
world in special way for a time and
give ourselves to the consideration of
spiritual things. The Lenten schedule
OF services as announced in the Times

sake OF concentration, back to the plan

PROTECTING STATE HIGHWAY
New Departure of Removing Snow
From the Concrete Reads.

"cW departure OF Removing Snow
From the Concrete Reads.
Out of the recent snow and ice
storms that covered Delawar. came a
development that is new to the State
the cleaning of snow from State
Highways in order to save them. Days
that it showed a truck with snow
plough ahead of it cleared the newly
costructed highways from Whining
ton to the Pennsylvania State line on
the Philadelphia turnpike, and from
Dover to Smyrna. As a result, in adj
ditiOn to the luxury that the autoist
had of finding a road clear of snow,
the Highway Commissioners believe
they have saved the State much
money. From experience learned in
other States, after big snow storms,
when roads were not cleared, the
highways have been found to be worn
for width of four to six inches
where traffic has made its way thru
the snow. Repairs have cost much
money and the extra wear of a few
inches of the highway has destroyed
the "whole" as a road after the re-
pairs were made. In States where
the cleaning of snow from highways
has been made, it is found that the
wear and tear on the highway is
more evenly distributed and is not !
so costly to the State. The expert
ment made in the recent storm will |
prove Of aid to the Highway Com
mission.
