Old Fashioned Ship Building AT
Milford

While lower Delaware at one time
boasted the finest shipbuilding plants
in the country the old order of things
have passed and now it is the big in
dustrial centers that boast the ship
yards. One place has remained, how
ever, of which the lower end of Del
aware is still proud and that is the
yard at Milford where recently two
fine boats were turned out and where
contracts have just been closed for
the building of two more.
The yards are of the old-fashioned
kind, where the builders do most of
the work by hand, taking longer than
the big plants, but doing the old
fashioned careful work. The Milford
and Seaford plants are the only re-
naming ones of dozens which existed
eighty years ago.

DELAWARE FARMERS

Thousands of dollars are being
showered down daily on the farmers
of lower Delaware, as so far $1,000
has been the lowest figure paid for a
carload Of Strawberries. At Selbyville
alone for two days 27 carloads of
berries have been shipped, leaving
$4,000 each day with the farmers of
that section.
At other buying stations of Frank
ford, Millsboro, Georgetown, Bridge
vile and Laurel from two to Is car
loads day have been bought, mean
ing that many thousand dollars each
day to growers. Bankers say deposits
are doubling over night in the berry
sections, and the good prices being re-

BIGGEST POULTRY SEASON
WILL BE RECORDED IN 1872.

Beyond all doubt the present year
will go down as the greatest in value
of poultry raised, sold and on hand.
There has never been such activity in
the production of baby chicks, and it
looks as if the ready-to-lay pullet will
have an inning that will carry her
score about any anticipated figure.
One of the surest signs of poultry
activity in volume beyond the figures
mentally fixed by all the guessers is
that of the vast army of new people
who have entered the field this year.
One of the war lessons is being ex-
emplified in the continued increased
use of poultry and eggs, and food
meat of the four-footed kind does not
enjoy the same high place that it did
before it was Hooverized. Because the
small home owner, with a few square
feet of space, finds that he can, with
table scraps and ready-made mashes
keep his flock of a few, a dozen or
more, hens going and get from them
eggs for the kiddies and culinary uses
he is loath to live on four-footed meat.
Since American agriculture became
fixed the hen has been a component
part of it and has had and always
will have high potential force in the
making of farm homes and are the
luxuries the farmer secures.
Today the annual hen crop is far
above $1,0OO,OOO, 900, or it represents
for each of the 6,500,OOO farms in this
country farm income of over S155.
very appreciable part of the average
farm income.
Since no hen value has been placed
on hen holdings where less than $500
was the value of the flock, the true
value Of the hen and her products is
not disclosed by census figures and,
therefore, her value to the small, or
even large householder cannot be
ascertained, and yet it is general and
common knowledge that every subur-
banite keeps hens and untold farms
carry less than $500 worth of this
valuable animal.

Delaware's New "Titling"
Law Reduces Auto Thefts
Whipping Post Penalty and Special Officers Make Rob-
bers Shun

Delaware is blazing the way for the
remainder of the country to end au-
tomobile thefts, through it's ''titling"
law. The State has provided thorough
inspection of cars and owners; has
rounded up hundreds of persons who
drove cars, but failed to take out IL
censes, and through it's police system
has reduced speeding on State high
ways.
The risk Of disposing of what few
cars have been stolen in Delaware has
been so great and the penalties so
drastic, with whippings at the post,
that though auto thefts prevailed
year ago, they are novelty now.
After the titling law was passed by
the legislature and practically all of
the auto owners of the State had paid
their 81 fees to have their machines
registered, the returns from this
source were sufficient to provide for
the employment of six automobile in
spectors in various parts of the State,
who have been working in conjunc-
tion with State highway police.
1t was through these men that Sill
600 over and above the revenues of
April, 1921, was procured from own
ers in New Castle county, who had
not, up to that time, paid to the State
the amounts they were supposed to
pay for their licenses.
The inspectors discovered variety
of cases that helped to swell this
fund. They would find a dealer who
