Produce and Prices

Early tomatoes and potatoes are the
principle farm crops now being sent
to market from this region. Old
mans Township in Bradford's Swamp
originated the Earlianna tomato which
has become the most famous cropper
in the United States, and has brought
hundreds of tons of food to consumers
who relish the fruit which gives the
most vitimines, life giving engines.
About twenty-five years ago the late
Geo. c. Sparks saw a tomato plant
which bore fruit more profusely and
earlier than others. He saved the
seeds and increased the crop each
year until he supplied a Philadelphia
seed merchant who made the Earli-
anna nation wide.
The tomato crop this year is good.
The crow set was not so large as in
former years., but the vines are full
from later blooms.
The prices at Swedesboro last Mon
day was from S1.50 to 50 a crate but
went down to rs cents on Wednesday.
AS the crate costs 25 cents, the sc
cents left for the farmer is not very
profitable, because they began with
their seed houses last February l and
laborers are few and costly.
In the Wilmington market tomatoes
have been from 81 to $1.50 a basket
The market varies with the daily
changes to supply and demand.
Potatoes have been firm at $1.5(
and $1.65. ;cucumbers $1.50 down to 81
peppers 81 down to Soc, eggplants 81
S1.50, squashes 35c.

strong plea for the common school fol-
all. rich and poor alike. His subject
was Education for Democracy"
srThe hope Of America is in the pub,

the general public must be educated
for the responsibilities of citizenship
The spirit of America must be formed

public schools"

| Used To Kill Birds

| used to kill birds in my boyhood,
Bluebirds and robins and wrens,
| hunted them up in the mountains,
| hunted them down in the glens,
| never thought it was sinful
| did it only for fun
And | had rare sport in the forest
With the poor little birds and my
gun.
But one beautiful day in the spring
time
l spied a brown bird in a tree.
Merrily swinging and chirping,
AS happy as bird could be,
And raising my gun in a twinkling,
| fired, and my aim was too true;
For a moment the little thing futtered
Then off to the bushes it flew.
l followed it quickly and softly,
And there to my sorrow | found
Right close to its nest full OF young
The little bird dead on tn ground!
Poor brides! For food they were
calling;
But now they could never be fed,
For the kind mother-bird who had
loved them
Was lying there bleeding and dead.
l picked up the bird in my anguish,
1 stroked the wee motherly thing
That could never more feed it's dear
young ones,
Nor dart thru the air on swift wing.
And | made a firm vow in that mo
ment,
When my heart with such sorrow
. was stirred,
That eve again in my lifetime
Would / shoot a poor innocent bird!
