ROAD MAN BEATS
UP FELLOW WORKER
Offender Turned Over tc
State Authorities

Trouble occurred just above New
ark on the Newark Wilmington pike
early yesterday morning, when Harry
Davis assaulted John j.. Sweeney,
beating him on the head with pick
ak handle. Both men were workers
on the new road. Davis was brought
before Squire Lovett for hearing.
He gave his address as Philadelphia.
Davis claimed that Sweeney had
taken a drink of his liquor and had
refused to pay for it, whereupon,
Davis beat Sweeney over the head, in
juring him severely. Davis was
drunk when brought before Squire
Lovett.
D. E. O'Connel, the contractor, said
that Sweeney is a sober, industrious
workman and frequently gave Davis
money. Davis, last week, authorized
his employer to give half his wages to
Sweeney in payment of his debt.
The injured man was taken to the
Delaware Hospital. The Squire
handed Davis over to the State au-
thorities and they took him to the
hospital to be identified by Sweeney.

Presbyterians Have
Fine Picnic

The Presbyterian picnic Saturday

Young folks boated and bathed to
their hearts content. Basket lunch
cons were taken, and ice cream and
homemade cake were served to every

games. The hotel was thrown open
to the picnickers and the young folks
enioyed the piano and the spacious
veranda. A collection was taken up
for the proprietor in appreciation Oh
his hospitality. :.
The picnic was enjoyed the more, 1t
being the first one in two years. Inc
Reverend H. Everett Hallman was
present.

Powerful naval seaplanes are rang

"rum PATROL" one of the new jobs of
the navy fiiers.
Mystery ships have been lying off
the coast outside the three mile limit.
Suspicion of the destiny of a snug
gled cargo is divided between the
Jersey and Delaware shores. 1t has
been reported that whisky is being
brought in through the Indian River
Inlet. 1t would be a simple matter
along the wild stretches Of the Della
ware coast, to send out bank boats
as has been done along the New Jer.
sey coast, and bring in contraband
under cover of darkness.

F FARMERS DAY
PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
SURVEY OF CONDITIONS ON FARM
SHOWS INTERESTING FEATURES

Farmers Day promises its usual
crowds and enthusiasm. The fact is,
the farmers are beginning to see
that all the money and success is not
made behind the plow. So these
farmers meetings are places of busi-
ness and conference as well as a
"Get-together." The following survey
of the University farm shows at
glance what is being done. 1t is in
teresting to every farmer and citizen
in the state.
The hay is in the barn; the oats are
harvested; the corn is '1aid by; the
orchards are sprayed for the last
time and the farm is ready for
visitors.
The hay crop was short on the
University Farm. Between the late
frosts in the spring and the drought
in May it is estimated that only about
75 per cent crop was cut. Early in
the spring all the hay fields with the
exception Of the alfalfa field were top
dressed with sulphate of ammonia. If
it had not been for the top dressing
only about a so per cent crop would
have been cut.
The first cutting of alfalfa on new
seeding yielded nearly 2 tons per
acre. While the second cutting gave
about a ton per acre. If weather
conditions are good and plenty OF
rain falls during the next month, the
third cutting should give ton pei
acre.
About 13 acres are in alfalfa, five
Of which will be broken up after tht
third cutting and reseeded. The new
seeding of eight acres looks good, twt
tons of ground limestone per acr,
were used in putting it in. One sid
of the field where ordinary CONNER
cial seed was used is good demon
stration of how not to do it.
Seventeen acres of oats were grow
| using a ton of ground limestone pc
| acre on about 13 acres. Owing t
| drought the straw was short, but tn
heads seem to be we'll filled. They wi
be threshed this week. A good cate
of clover was secured in the oats an
the hay problem for next year az
pears to be solved. The most of tn
peach orchard has been pulled OF
and the round is now in silage corr
Ten acres of timothy sod was broke
| up in the spring and planted

Glazed Kid Industry Boosted

President Harding, no matter What
world problems confront him, Will
soon have a good understanding Oh
Delaware. He has ordered from the
Glazed Kit Committee, OF Whining
ton, of which David Snellenberg IS
chairman, pair of glazed kid shoes.
There are many ways of reviving the
glazed kid industry IN Wilmington,
but nothing like good substantial
boost from the Nations chief execu-
tive. The Presidents shoe size Is
No. 10 D.
Representative Caleb R. Layton has
succeeded in his efforts to defeat IN
Congress imposition of import duties
on hides. AS England has an export
- duty on Indian hides an import duty
would materially injure the Kid IN
dustry in Wilmington.

HIGHER PRICE
FOR TOMATOES
LOSSES LAST YEARLEA
TO SMALL ACREAGE
ONLY ONE. TENTH CROP SET

According to Down-State reports,
tomatoes are the strong point of the
canned vegetable market. Delaware
packers predict higher prices next
winter because Of the IS per cent. re-
duction in plants set out last spring.
Between October, 1920, and last May
canned tomatoes huctuated between
85 cents and 81 a dozen for No. 3's.
Since May the wholesale price has
climbed steadily and now the quota
tion is $1.25 and $1.30.
Losses last season account for the
setting out of only 25 per cent of the
1920 tomato crop, according to cam
ners and growers. Gamers expert
ence Of producing at cost Of $1.35
dozen last summer, getting less than
81 all year until May and barely
breaking even since, makes them
wary of overstocking. Many smaller
Delaware canneries will not operate
at all this summer, and some larger
canneries will open only few units.
The local representative Of one
large Gamer says his firm is reduc-
ing it's output to what it feels sure Of
selling at aprofit. Cans cost So a
hundred more than last year, and
other costs vary so, he says, that the
company is determined to guard
against sales at loss. Quotations on
futures are not obtainable.
About 55 per cent. of the amount
of peas canned last year were put up
this June. The corn crop is said to be
fairly good, with prospects Of nearer
the normal quantity being canned.
Prices or raw stock of string and
stringless beans have been advanced
from 81 to $1.50 bushel since the
season opened.

Transportation to be
Provided for Schools

That the new State Board of Edu-
cation is favorable to transportation
is shown by the following resolutions
passed by the Board at recent meet
ing. The budget it is understood will
probably not allow provisions for all
the demands but it is gratifying to
note the attitude of the Board.
Resolved, That where a Board Of
School Trustees shall decide that no
more than six grades Of work shall be
taught in the school of their District,
that the school or schools in that dis
trict shall be adjudged as closed for
the 7th and 9Th grades.
RESOLVED, That where children in
the 7th and 9Th grades live more than
three miles from a school, or children
below the 7th grade live more than
two miles from a school, that the
school in their district shall be adj
Judged as closed, and
Resolved That where high school
children live more than three miles
from high school, the high school In
their district shall be adjudged as
closed, and further
Resolved, That in all these cases
the State Board of Education shall
provide such transportation as the
funds provided by the Legislature II
it's school budget shall permit.

REIMBURSEMENT
Teachers Seriously Embar-
rassed; Matter Topic of
Conferences

Mr.. H. V. Holloway, State Com
missioner of Education, visited the
University Summer School Monday to
take up with the students the ques-
ton of reimbursement.
Formerly all those who attended
Summer School have had board,
tuition, and return carfare paid by
the State. Owing to the reduction in
school appropriation this year, the
State can reimburse only those teach
ers who had to come to Summer
School in order to secure or renew
their certificates to teach. This in
cludes about one-half Of the school.
Mr.. Holloway held mass meeting
of the students. An alternative to
the State plan was suggested, that
those who are entitled to reimburse
ment waive their claim and allow an
equal distribution of funds among
all attending the school. The matter
was left to be decided by the Sum-
mer School students themselves. Com
mittees are now canvassing the stu
dent body for vote on the question
The maximum salary schedule
adopted in the State Board OF Educa-
ton meeting Friday last is causing
some hardships among those who by
excellent and faithful service have
received more than the maximum
salary. This affects mostly the
primary teachers who have been re-
ceiving $1,000 or $1,1OO per year.
