Defacing Natures Beauty.

n ELAWARE is a sleepy summer country of
- red barns and stacked sheaves. Its broken
rolling fields and spired villages make up picture
OF rural affluence unrivaled along the Atlantic sea-
board. Its farmers appear contented and wealthy

II was filthy lucre indeed that was used to
persuade these Delaware farmers to desecrate such
a shrine OF bucolic beauty.
They have consented to spoil the scenic appeal
of their State for few pennies from the pocket
