aTATB FISH HATCHERY

If one wishes to gain some honest to
goodness knowledge and along with it
some real entertainment pay visit one
of these bright days to the state trout
hatchery located on East Main Street IN
this city and there you will be given an
opportunity, through the courtesy of +.
II. Purcell, who is in charge of the hat
cherry, to view thousands and thousands
of trout eggs aud as many young trout
ranging IN age from mere infants to two
months old
Served hourly to a meal Of broiled
liver, the older fellows splash and dart
through the water seemingly bent on
an endeavor to wax strong, looking for
ward to the day when they are to be
given their freedom in Black Hills
creeks and later perchance to give some
ambitious fisherman battle royal.
The first shipment of eggs received at
the hatchery this year numbering $780,
900, were brook trout and came from
Cree, Colo. The second shipment was
sent here from Weisport, Penn
Trout eggs are about the size of
sweet pea but their color is white. The
first indication on the egg that trout is
engoute to this earth are the two tiny
dark spots from which will develop eyes.
1t takes forty days for trout egg to
hatch and running water with a temper
ature at forty-two degrees.
The eggs and trout now in the hatch
cry number in the neighborhood of
800 900 and in another month some of
the oldest will be planted in different
streams in the Black Hills country

Booklets Tell Of Advantages

Milford and the farming commun-
tiles of Kent county are receiving a
generous boost in little booklet that
is being distributed now to thousands
of people all over the United States
and even in foreign lands, urging
them to make their homes on the
profitable farms of this locality.
Prospective farm buyers, men who
are known to be seeking the comforts,
independence and prosperity of farm
life will, in consequence, be attracted
to this part of Delaware. It is a kind
of publicity that is bound not only to
promote farm sales but to aid in
putting this community and section
more prominently on the worlds map.
And the best of it is that it costs
nothing to the communities that will
profit by it. The movement is part of
a $1,000,000 campaign just launched
by the E. A. StrOut Farm Agency, Inc,
of which the local representative is
G. Chester Marshall who is sending
the booklets to hOmeseekers in many
states:
The views with which they are il
Illustrated are such as to bring new
residents and perhaps new industries
to Milford as well as to attract farm
purchasers to Kent county farming
communities.
Besides the comfortable, honey
looking homes that are pictured, there
are attractive views of Milford show
ing a section of its business district,
the post Office, high school, grange
hall and sample of our splendid
roads.
In addition there are charming lit
tie pictures of some of the lake, river
and boating scenes here and the Op-
pOrtunities for recreation at Bowers
Beach, Slaughter Beach, Cedar Beach
and RehObOth are emphasized. Men
tion is made also to the splendid Op-
pOrtunities for sea bathing and fish
ing.
Milford, itself, is described in the
booklet as one of the livest and most |
towns in Delaware, locat- |
ed in the center of the states agri- |
cultural belt. with varied industries, |
stores and the best of ed
ucational, civic and social facilities.
Some of the ready sources of in
come to the farmers of Kent county
are described for the benefit of the
farm buyer and figures
are given showing that some Kent
county farmers have earned incomes
Of $3.50 from acres of tomatoes, $500
an acre from peas, $40O from four
acres of sweet potatoes and 5000 an
acre from grapes and beans.
