HEAVY FRUIT CROPS
LOOKED FOR THIS
YEAR IN DELAWARE
Apple Trees Show Wonderful
Development In Sussex
County.
MILLIONS FOR FARMERS

Today. which is the day following
the Anniversary of the ice and sleet
storm OF year ago, which wrecked
the hopes and In some cases pocket
books OF Delaware farmers, as far
as fruit crops went, a survey OF the
orchards Of Delaware indicate that
the crops this year ought to bring
millions OF dollars in sales OF the fruit
back to the farmers of the State.
Josiah Marvel. president of the
Delaware Apple Co. who returned to
his ONCE today after several days
spent I'm Sussex county and the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland. says con-
ditions have not looked so good In a
long while for bountiful crops OF every
character for the farmer OF lower
Delaware and Maryland. Mr.. Marvels
trip into the other end OF the state
was due TO the crisis that fruit grow
ers and particularly apple raisers feel
at this time. Its the season when
tho trees spread their leaves and be-
gin to bloom. and things can happen
That can never be repaired M far as
the fruit trees are concerned.
or the 10000 trees that the Delaware
Apple Co. owns about Bridgeville. It
is expected that at least 60, 900 OF them
VIII bring forth their first crop this
year. A conservative estimate OF the
crop. according to Senator Oliver w.
Newton, who ia manager OF the
orchards for the corporation, is that II
VIII be between 100000 and 200. 600
bushels. At the present time apples
are bringing $3.50 a bushel at the
rai}road station. so that IL the trees
mature as II is hoped they will. the
corporation expects to be able to make
enough money this year TO partly pay
Tor cold storage plant to be located
In lower Delaware.
The finest apples will be picked
and shipped direct or else placed in
hampers and shipped TO cities where
they will be packed. The defective
apples will be turned into cider and
this is expected to amount TO at least
10000 gallons. 1t will be necessary
to erect cider presses to take care Of
this adjunct Of the corporation.

BUS ACTION UNDECIDED.
Several Courses Open TO Owners tO
Test Street Boards Resolution.

Alexander Jamison. counsel for
local bus owners. stated this morning
that there has been no definite deci-
sion as to what steps are to be taken
relative to the bus mems efforts to
have amended the resolution passed
by the Street and Sewer Department
regulating the bus traffic on the streets
of the city. The opinion issued by City
Solicitor Satterthwaite to the effect
that the Public Utility Commissioners
had no jurisdiction In the premises
has upset the plans that had been out
lined for an appeal to the utility board.
Mr.. Jamison expects TO have a con-
ference with associate counsel this
afternoon to endeavor TO determine
what is the most advisable thing 10 be
done. There Is more than one course
that might be pursued by the bus men,

The fight, ii was explained. is more
in the interest OF bus patrons than
owners, who don't want any trans
portation facilities curtailed.
