BUREAU OF MARKETS OPENED
w. I. DerricksOn is State Chief and
Has Office in State Building at
DOVer-Bureau tn Re Rio Aid


DOver-Bureau to Be Big Aid
A Bureau of Markets, as provided I.
for by the Legislature of 1921, has
been opened at Dover by the State
Board of Agriculture in the Old Coun-
ty Building, now owned by the State,
with W. T. Derrickson, chief of the
bureau, in charge. Because of the un- /
settled conditions of fruit, vegetables !
and other marketable products last
year, the State Board of Agriculture
did not deem it advisable to open the /
bureau then, but with good prospect
of heavy fruit and vegetable crops
this year, it was deemed practicable
to open it now. Mr.. Derrickson re-
sides in Milford. He is a graduate of
Pierce Business College, Philadelphia.
and has spent several years in mar
keting work in West Virginia. He ex-
poets to be at the Dover office, each
weekday, to consult with farmers and
aid them in any way regarding their
marketing. Receiving and dispensing
market information will be one Of he
chief duties of the new office. The of
ficials in charge are considering a plan
to install a radio phone for the pur-
pose of receiving market quotations
each day. The plan for dispensing the
information after it is received will be
determined at a later date. The
standardization of packages and
grades also will receive the attention
of the Bureau of Markets.
Standardization of Fruit Packages
Mr.. Derickson in a statement says
his first work will be towards prop
er marketing of the prospective Del
aware fruit crop, and that a special
effort will be made to standardize the
grades and packages, and although, in
his opinion it would take considerable
time TO accomplish this, he hoped to
make some progress in the next few
months. Most of the Delaware fruit
and produce has been going into mar
ket without any standardization and
brokers purchasing the Delaware pro-
, duct were never sure of what they
were buying until after opening and
examining the package. The Bureau
of Markets hopes to establish with
fruit and produce first, second grade
and culls of a known standard, and
instead of some farmers shipping the
same crop in hampers, some in baskets
and some in crates, to agree upon &
carrier of known size that will contain
certain quantity of a special grade
of fruit or produce, and thus making
, the package command better prices il
I the city markets. Mr.. Derickson say:
, that Delaware is producing just a.
fine fruit as any other state, but th'
agriculturists have not been obtaining
prices they are entitled to because th'
carriers were not marked according t
: known standard.
Market News Service to Be Given
!. Mr.. Derickson says another matte
" that would be given immediate at
A tention was the establishment of
a Market News Service. That radio
n. phone would be placed in his Office
r. where market conditions and marke
N prices from all sections would be oh
10 tanned hourly and this informatio
n disseminated to those in the State VIII
sr had products to ship. The method Q
IF dissemination has as yet not been dt
Is cided upon, but in all probability tele
phone communication will be used.

LOCAL MAN RETURNS
 FROM WASHINGTON
Jesse F. Atwater in the Capital City at the Time of Knickcrbocker
 Theater Disaster-Not in Thcater.

Jesse F. Atwater, transportation manager at the American Hardware corporation, returned from Washing ton, D. C., last evening. He had rep resented the Connecticut Manufactur- ers' association at the hearing of the interstate commerce commission.
 Mir. Atwater was in Washington at the time of the Knickerbocker the ater disaster although he was unable to reach the scene of the catastrophe because of the traffic tie up. MT. At water said that the efforts of the fire apparatus to reach the scene was the first indication to downtown people in Washington that something was wrong.
 He said that this was about g o'clock and the snow was still falling heavily, there being about two feet on the ground at this time. Later news of the disaster reached the down town section, but due to the traffic tieup and the weather few people ventured to go to the scene. The story of hu- man suffering and violent death, heroic work of the rescuers is replete with interest as told by MT. Atwater
 The building in which the Inter- state Commerce Commission hearing was held was an History structure. The shock of the earthquake was re- corded in various parts of the coun- try on Tuesday, causing the building to tremble for to 10 seconds, Mr. Atwater said
