Timken bearing at the hub replaces
two small bearings and gives 100 per

Presented Last Week to Milford Emer

The hospital officials and physicians
through this territory will be delight
ed to learn that within few days the
Milford Emergency Hospital will be
provided with one of the latest and
most complete Victor X-ray machine
units. This is contributed by the l..
d. Caulk Company, of Milford. There
has been a good deal of investigation
to ascertain the type of machine found
to be the most useful and best adapt
ed for hospital work, and the un-
animous opinion is that the Victor ma
chine, made in Chicago, by one of the
oldest and largest concerns engaged
in the making of X-rays is the ma
chine that is wanted. 1t is pleasing
to report that the Milford hospital is
making such great progress, both In
the matter of service to the people
of that community, and in the equip
ment that is being provided for CARR
ing on the work. There are severa
towns near Milford making plans fol

GOVERNOR ISSUES WARNING
Call Upon Loyal Citizens and Business
Houses to Assist Coal Commission

Governor William D. Denney has is
sued the following proclamation re-
garding the coal situation in Delaware
1t is now apparent that owing to the
increasing shortage of coal, a grave
emergency exists which threatens in
dustrial stagnation and great distress
and suffering on the part of our people
during the coming winter. At the re-
quest of President Harding and with
the general welfare of our people
throughout Delaware at heart, | have
created a State Coal Commission to
cooperate with the Federal Fuel Com
mission to secure coal supplies, also
to regulate the conservation, distribu-
tion and sale of said coal within the
State. | have appointed as members
of said commission Leon Walker
Chairman, Robert D. Kemp, Henry P.
Scott, Jr., and John E. Walker, all of
Wilmington, Jesse L. Shepherd, Mid
dletown, Charles B. Wilson, Dover,
Garrett S. Harrington, Harrington,
L. Lee Layton, Jr., Selbyville. The
Commission has organized and es-
tablished headquarters at No. East
Ninth Street, in the City of Whining
ton, and will Immediately begin to
function. l, therefore, as Chief Ex-
ecutive of the State, now call upon all
loyal citizens, firms, corporations and
business houses in general to cooper
ate with the Commission and comply
with it's orders, in its efforts to serve
the State in this emergency. have
promised the members of the Com
misscn my hearty support in the en-
forcement of such regulations as they
may deem necessary to make for the

greatest good of the largest number
of our people may best be served dur
ing this emergency.-William D. Den
ney, Governor of Delaware.

MANY STATE FAIR ENTRIES
Contestants From All Sections Of
the State To Compete For Prizes

Contestants From All Sections Of
the State To Compete For Prizes
From the manner in which entries
for fancy work have been received at
the office of the Delaware State Fair
in the past few days, the competition
in the various lines of work of this
character at the Fair which opens at
Elsmere on Labor Day will be the
most interesting in the Fairs history.
One of the pleasing features is that a
majority of the contestants in en-
broidery and crocheting and preserv-
ing and cooking who have signified
their intentinn to try for prizes are
Delaware women. The Fair always has
it's steady quota of entrants from the
rural sections, for without these it
wouldn't have the necessary atmos-
phere to make it the success it has
always proved to be.
Upwards of twelve herds of Here
ford cattle from as many States have
entered for the National Show which
is to be a big cattle feature of the
Fair. This means that upwards of 200
prize cattle, cows and bulls will be en-
tered. The annual cattle parade on
Thursday afternoon, will be the most
spectacular display of it's character
ever witnessed at a State Fair. The
way things look now there will be
more than thirty carloads of western
steers sold to cattle growers of this
section as a result of the Fair.
Plans for the automobile races on
Friday afternoon of the Fair are go
ing forward successfully. Some of the
speediest motor racers in the east are
among those who will try their skill
and risk their necks in the contests
arranged, and because the meet or
Fourth of July was partly spoiled by
the rain will mean that Manager Cox
according to his promises then, viii
run off one or two extra contests al
the Fair in addition to the regular
program.

FRUIT YIELD is NEAR PEAK
Heavy Crops Send Prices To Low
Figure In City Markets

Fruit and vegetables, except can
taloupes, are being shipped in larger
quantities over the Delaware Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad this year
than last year. This, coupled with
the fact that large quantities are be-
ing carried too markets by farmers in
trucks, from all points Ion the penin-
sula and the falling off of purchases
by the housewife, has caused con-
siderable reduction in prices in the
majority of the fruits and farm pro-
ducts, as compared with last years
prices. 1t was said that many of the
farmers carried home the greater part
of the produce brought to market
Wednesday. This was said to be due
to the few purchasers visiting the
market, and of fewer making sub
stantial purchases. The wholesale
market was also the scene of much
held over green goods while the
hucksters were known to have failed
to make the usual sales. This fall
ing off in sales is attributed to the
many unemployed because of the rail-
road strike. Prices on all produce
and fruit opened strong Thursday
morning with peaches selling from IS
cents to $1.25 a basket. Buying was
fair. Apples are selling for 40 to rs
cents a basket. Watermelons are
bringing S12 to $50 hundred, whole
sale, according to their size. Beets
and lettuce, to cents bunch and
head below the price asked for them
Wednesday. Potatoes are selling fol-
from so to 60 cents per basket. Nc
reduction beyond few cents have
been made in this commodity owing
to the fact that potatoes will moi
perish as quickly as will the Other
vegetables. Cantaloupes were selling
Thursday morning at 60 cents

SCIENCE AIDS FRUIT GROWERS
IN PRODUCING BIGGER CROPS
MODERN SPRAYING METHODS is
WORKING WONDERS IN STATE
How This is Done Will be Shown in
a Special Booth at Coming Del
aware State Fair


How science has thwarted the raw
ages of the codling moth through
modern spraying methods, and saved
the apple crop and how the peach
borer, dreaded by owners of peach
orchards, has been baffled and des-
troyed, will be one of the most inter
esting exhibits in connection with the
Kent county display of crops and fruit
at the Delaware State Fair, which
opens at Elsmere on Labor Day.
County Agent Wilson is preparing
a display of the methods used and
which have saved the farmers of Kent
county thousands of dollars, through
preventing these pests from destroy
ing their fruit. Cages which were
used to check up on the development
of the insect pests will be on display.
AS soon as the moths made their ap-
pearance in the cages, the growers
were notified to spray their trees with
the scientific solution and apple crops
were saved. The chemical solution
used to defeat the attacks of the peach
tree borer will be shown in an actual
application about the peach tree trunk
The farmers labor in fighting this
pest has been reduced rs per cent
through the modern ways of spraying
and the solution used.
Other demonstrations will show how
Kent county farmers are being drilled
in spraying grapes and other fruits
to prevent and check diseases.
Kent county will also be represent
ed by a demonstration of certified
seed potatoes compared with unknown
strains and seed sources. There will
be exhibits of not only the varieties
of potatoes, but a comparison of yields
size and quality of the crop as grown
on the test plots this year. Similar
demonstration exhibits will be made
to show the results of seed corn selec-
ton and termination to control the
corn root and other diseases.
All of the exhibits from the county
are under the auspices of the exten.
