MADE $500 FROM HALF-ACRE
Louis Ryder, One Armed Man Tells
What He Did at Milford

Louis Ryder, farmer with only one
arm, who resides at the eastern side
of south Milford, conducts a farm
where irrigation is practiced success
fully to produce crops of vegetables,
which he ships to city markets-but
keeps the Milford market supplied
with all the lettuce, and other vege-
tables, which it will consume at all
seasons. This year on a measured
half-acre of irrigated land he planted
lettuce for the fall and winter trade,
which he marketed with his usual sue
cess. After paying the freight and
express, he received checks amounting
to trifle over 500 from this one-half
acre of lettuce. This was not all clear
profit, however, as water had to be
pumped by both wind and gasoline and
the work of attending the irrigation
has to be considered. However, re-
turn of gross receipts of 1,4OO per
acre, will leave very handsome prof
it, after paying for the labor and
maintenance of the irrigation system.
1t pays to use practical methods to
produce vegetable crops, when the pro-
duction is followed by practical bust
ness marketing of the crop when pro-
duced. Mr.. Ryder does not hesitate to
make trips to the city and whenever
necessary, makes personal investiga-
ton of the people buying or selling his
crops. He gets results in two ways
from these trips-the pleasure of get
ting into larger and bigger scenes oc-
casionally and the acquiring of new
ideas of the crop to grow and how to
market it. The first thing with Mr..
Ryder, is, to maintain high standard
of all vegetables shipped. The sec
onds are fed to the poultry and pigs
not sold at all.

SMALL TOWN MAIL DELIVERY
Postmaster General Hayes Preparing
to Abolish This Service


Members of the Delaware delegation
in Congress are in receipt of letters
from Representative Griest of Penn
sylvania, Republican member of the
House committee on postofice and
post roads, warning them that Post
master General Hayes is endeavoring
to have discontinued the free delivery
of mail in small communities, accord
ing to a communication received from
Washington.
If the recommendation of Postmas-
ter Hayes are adopted by Congress,
not only the small towns and villages
in Delaware will be deprived of the
free mail service, but every other town
In the country as well. Through the
present service, people living in COM
munities with population of from
1900 to 10000 have their mail deliver
ed to them. Prior to the Inauguration
of this service, they had to go to the
postoffice. Every suggestion to Con-
gress that this service be discontinued
has been resented.
IN ueIenSe OF MS recommendation
the postmaster general says that the
appropriation for this service has now
reached $1,5O0,00 and the salaries Of
carriers have been increased from
$500 to $1,000. Village service is now
being given from 749 offices and
through 1109 carriers. Ire expendi-
ture of this, Postmaster General
Hayes says, is not justified because of
the small size of the towns and the
postal conditions. He contends the
dwellings are clustered around the
business section, that they are concen-
trated in space of one or two blocks
and that no patron has very far to go
in reaching his postofffce.
The question will be threshed out
when the appropriation bill for the
Postoffice Department is brought up.
Congressmen from every state will or
ganize to attack Hayes recommended
tiOns, it is declared.
Milford would not be affected by the
proposed change. The law it is pur-
posed to change was passed in 1918.
Milford comes under the Civil Service
Act, Harrington would lose its delivery
should the proposed change be made.

DISCUSS NEW ROADS TO Be

TENTATIVE ROUTES MAPPED

Interesting Meeting of Kent County
Levy COurt-AnOther Meeting to be
Held on January the Fourth

10y OOuA' '<Ahother 'meeting 10 De
Held on January the Fourth
At the weekly meeting of the Kent
County Levy Court last week, orders
were given County Engineer Gooden
purchase additional cars of Stag for
road improvement in the Tenth district
and also for the Seventh district from
the Wine Road to Woodside.
The court allowed Smyrna $500 as
part of its county appropriation for
the year 1921.
The price of labor for the county
work, beginning January l was fixed
at 20 cents an hour and that of horses
at II IL cents an hour.
The salary of E. Y. Williams, en-
ployed by the Board of Assessment as
an assistant in that department was
fixed at $50 a month.
A delegation from Smyrna asked
for improvement of the road from
Clayton to Kenton, Hartly and Mary
del. No action was taken as the State
Highway Department, with whom the
court had a conference will eventually
take up this matter with the court.
At the afternoon session of the
court, all members of the State High
way Department, except Senator du-
Pont, visited the Levy Court and held
a conference relative to the proposed
road improvement in Kent county next
year, under the $500,000 bond issue,
which has already been voted for by
the court.
There seemed to be no argument
against or objection to the following
proposed road routes to be built, as
recommended by the State Highway
Department at its meeting some time
ago: Cheswold' to Leipsic, Dover to
Hartly, Smyrna to Kenton and Hartly
FELTON, Frederick.
A proposed route from Rising Sur
to Wyoming was also considered and
will likely be included in the roads
recommended for next year.
The joint agreement as to the width
of the roads, by the Levy Court anC
the Highway Commission, was fixed al
Is feet, the minimum, and a right Of
way width of so feet.

Fire broke out in the basement of

number of students at the mems COL
lege responded to the call and render
ed assistance in removing furniture

was able to get to the scene the con-
flagration had been extinguished by
the aid of fire extinguishers and sew

3 NEW LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
Charter of First One Was Sought at
Dover Last Week


Three building and loan associations
it is announced are about ready to be
organized in Wilmington, as a result
of the activities of business men of
that city. A charter for one of the
companies was applied for at Dover.
The other two, it is hoped will come
along in few weeks. One is among
citizens north of the Brandywine, and
the other in the southwestern section
of the city. All of these "babies" are
the result of the agitation for a new
thrift life in Wilmington, and which
resulted in the Information Bureau
being created.
The first new association to be
formed, is known as the Central Build
ing and Loan Association. Directors
chosen for this organization so far are
S. M. Dillon, Charles Warner, Guy r.
Ford, Clarence w. McCaulley, William
G. Taylor, John w. Morris, Thomas
Fullerton, Harry Mellon and James H.
Hughes. Mr.. Ford is a leading spirit
in the new association, and is optimis-
tic over the outlook for a big subscrip-
tion list of stockholders, when the
shares are offered.
At meeting of the Building and
Loan Information Bureau, George C..
Herring, Jr., was elected executive sec
retary. Mr.. Herring will not only act
as Office chief of the Bureau, but it is
the plan of the bureau if desired to
have him serve as secretary of any
loan associations that may be organ
lied, his services being given at nomi-
nal cost, and much less expense than
if a different officer were selected for
each association.
Wherever it is needed, Mr.. Herring
will aid in stimulating interest in the
associations, through addresses and
meeting the men of the different COM
nhunities. The Bureau which has op-
ened headquarters at 514 Ford build
ing, Wilmington, will offer free of
charge, all incorporation and organi-
Zation service, which will mean a big
saving to any new body.

To Fight Cucumber Pests

Mrs. Mary Skellenger, the bride of
fifty years ago, who was publicly
married to Henry Skellenger rhe
other day, has lived around these
parts considerable and in that time
she has had to fight cucumber pests
every year while trying to raise
enough of that particular garden
fruit to fill the family pickle barrel
up for winter and in doing this
fighting she has done some expert
menting and thinking with the result
that today she is absolutely sure that
she has safe remedy for killing off
the little striped bugs which do so
much damage to the pickle crop each
year. Mrs. Skellenger says to pur-
chase some ordinary sulphur and
sprinkle it around under the cucum-
Der vines and on account of this the
little striped bugs will have nothing
to do with the cukes and leave the
vicinity-that is those which do not
turn up their toes on the spot, will
leave and the success of the cucum-
Der crop is assured
