State Fruit
Crop Is Big
Yield Of Produce Also Up to Ex.
pectations Of the Growers

Statistics of shipments Of fruit and
produce from Delaware to northern
markets by the railroads indicate that
this seasons crop will be the most
profitable for Delaware farmers since
before the war. In 1915 Selbyville,
in Sussex county, was the heaviest
strawberry shipping center in the
United States, and the shipments OF
berries that year were twenty-one
million quarts. Through adverse
money and labor conditions and de-
creased acreage this fell off to four
million quarts in 1920. This year the
strawberry crop has been upwards OF
eleven million quarts.
Apples are ten days earlier this
year than usual. Although the colo
weather late in spring destroyed some
of the buds and blossoms, the apple
output this summer and fall is ex
pected to be the heaviest in the States
history.
Potatoes, both white and sweet, are
being raised in larger acreages this
year than for many seasons, anc
cantaloupes and watermelons will b.
larger.

Fertilizer Association
Tenders Appreciation
W. D. Hurd, Director Of Soil In
provement Committee, Points
Out Local Advantages

w. D. Hurd, Director of the Soil
Improvement Committee of the Ma
tional Fertilizer Association, which
visited here last week, has written
the following letter to Dean McCue.
This letter shows how the members
of the association appreciated the en-
tertainment provided for them here:
Director c. A. McCue,
Agricultural Experiment Station,
Newark, Delaware.
Dear Director McCue:-
l wish to take this opportunity to
express to you, in behalf of the Soil
Improvement Committee of the Ma
tional Fertilizer Association, our ap-
probation of the opportunity which
you gave us to meet at your insti-
tuition last week. Every one consid-
cred the conference to be great sue
cess in every way.
The talks which you and your asso-
ton gave us all good idea of the
fine work which you are doing. The
luncheon provided at your dining hall
was most delicious and was enjoyed
by all. The soil fertility work, as
shown by your Station plots, is the
best we have seen in the East, and the
lessons taught were just what we
wanted to get before the representa-
tives of the fertilizer industry. l
want to compliment you on the con-
dition and appearance of the plots as
we saw them last week. The hotel
arrangements which you made for US
at the Hotel DUPONT were perfect. l
realize that the success of the meet
ing is due entirely to the personal in
teres which you took in the details
and for all of this attention we are
truly thankful.
One of the principal things that
have been trying to do since / came
from our organization is to familiar
ize representatives of the fertilizer
industry with the work of experiment
stations, in order that they might ap-
preciate station problems and know
what results the goods they are SELL
ing will give in different regions. The
chance we had to observe these things
at your Station last week could not
have been improved upon. / am very
sure you will have entirely different
contacts with the fertilizer men than
you have had in the past.
l hope you will express our feel
ings about this meeting to your Pres
ident and your Board of Trustees and
tell them how much we appreciate
their willingness to put all the facili-
ties of your institution at our dis
posal in the way you did
If we can be of any assistance to
you in dealing with any of your fer
tilizer problems in the future, l hope
you will call upon US.
Yours very truly,
w. D. HURD,

The opera house will open on Mon

cini's "Tosca." Nine. Marie Jeritza, the
Austrian soprano, will again appear in
the role responsible for her sensational
success last season. Giovanni Martl-
nelli anG Antonio Scott will be the
other principals in the case. Roberto
Moranzoni will be the conductor. A

A glance at the biographies of some
of the singers who will be hoard as TIE
Metropolitan for the first time reveais
the following information:
Barbara Kemp, dramatic soprano, is
a native Of the Rhineland. All of the
members of her family have artistic
tendencies. One sister sings and an
other is sculptress, while she lost 8
brother in the war who also was q
singer. She was fascinated by the
opera, which she saw for the first time
ct Strassburg, when fourteen years old.
| She got her early training at Rostock,
singing such roles as AGATHA and
! Pamina. Then she was heard by tho
gagged her shortly before the war, and
/ she since has remained member Of
/ that organization. She created the
| title role of Schiiling's "Mona Lisa.
and is considered in Europe among the
/ best interpreters of Straussss "Salome.n
4 Della Reinhard was born near Frank.
1 fort and received Der musical training
In the conservatory of that city. Her
first engagement was at Breslau, which
seems to have been training ground
for many Continental opera singers.
Here she attracted the attention of the
director of the Munich Opera, who en-
gagged her for that house, where she
has remained ever since. She also has
sung as .guest" IN the principal opera
houses of Germany, Spain, Austria,
Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary, lyric and
light dramatic soprano roles.

Generous Provis on for Lovers
OF Symphonies, Suites and 0vertures

Of Symphonies, Suites and 0vertures
Inasmuch as such rooms as those of
the two opera houses and Carnegie
Hall, where the majority of the con-
certs will take place, have seating
capacity in the neighborhood of 5000
each, it is safe to assume that the
managers of these concerts count on
an average attendance of 1000. A
logical deduction is that from 5000 to
$4,000 persons are expected to go to
orchestral concerts in New York every
week from to-day until the middle of
April. If they do, and pay for the
privilege, it will speak eloquently of
New York's liking for high music,
for, besides that number. the opera
will expect to draw an average of 1000
persons to each Of six representations
a week. But supposing the number
mentioned both attended and paid, &
great proportion of the expense OF
maintaining the organizations would
still fall upon the men and women who
stand back of them as guarantors.
We have mentioned the fact before,
but we recur to 1t again because 1t is
pertinent to the occasion. The appeal
Of these organizations for support is
not general and not based on tie ap-
probation Of high-class orchestral
music; it is particular and based on
! the cult Of conductors. We're this not
the case there would be smaller season
subscriptions and larger purchase OF
tickets for concerts made attractive to
the knowing by features Of their pro-
grams. There would also. possibly, be
a smaller need Of conductors. Mr..

been solicited from the class that
might be termed ~musically literate;
what do we find that the managers
of the concerts are expecting? This:
that in 81 days out of the 1876 there
will be patronage for two concerts, in
nine for three concerts, in three for
four concerts, in one for five concerts.
The offerings each week will look more
interesting if tabulated, thus:
