When will there cease to be new
markets for the automobile?
That is the question most often
asked me by dealers and motor car
owners. And invariably my answer
has been, Never"
I believe there always will be a
market for new cars, irrespective of
the replacement market.
The automobile industry in itself is
young. 1t was barely twenty-five

mOtOred to Old Union Methodist Epis-

toric shrine of Methodism. This is
the historic spot noted among Meth
Odists as being the place where Bis
hop Levi Scott is buried. Rev. o. N.
Connolly is pastor of the Black bird
Circuit and arranged the program.
The weather was ideal and a crowd
estimated close to a thousand people
assembled. The church yard and roads
in close proximity to it, were lined
with automobiles. Rev. Alfred Smith
of Camden, delivered the morning
sermon, at 1890 o'clock, discussing
"The Triumph of Orthodoxy" in
which he defended the old doctrines
against those of the so-called Eber-
alists, who are attempting to get a
foothold in the Protestant Churches
: today" he said. In reviewing his
sermon, Mr.. Smith pointed out that
his sermon was directed at those who
would get away from "The doctrine
taught by mother, fifty or a hundred
| years ago, and place in its stead the
doctrine of the modern fapper." Bis
hop John w. Hamilton, of Washing
ton, D. c., who was ordained to the
ministry by Bishop Scott, at the
Pittsburgh Conference, in 1870, spoke
at the afternoon meeting, on "The
Parable of the Laborers in the Vine
yard" Bishop Hamilton's sermon was
purely spiritualistic and dealt with
things of general interest to Christ
ianity. The meeting held Sunday is
an annual affair, the old Union Church
having been closed for regular wor-
ship sometime ago. Each year, how
ever,members of the Methodist Church
in the Blackbird- Townsend vicinity
and friends from many distant points
congregate there for worship at which
time respect is paid to the body of
Bishop Levi Scott, grandfather of
Henry Scott, Wilmington banker,which
rests in the cemetery adjoining the
church. A voluntary collection, to-
falling more than 5000, was taken, and
as is customary, will be devoted tc
the upkeep of the church and its cem-
etery. During the intermisSion be-
tween sermons, an experience meet
ing was held, and it was largely at
tended. The visitors gathered in tn,

TOWNSEND CANNERY BUSY

Records Cannery Expects To Pack
80, 900 Cases Tomatoes and $4,000 Corn
Townsend, Sept. 1.-THE canning
house at Townsend, recently acquired
by E. NJ. Records & Co., is a busy
place these days. Equipped with new
and modern machinery it is now one
of the largest canning houses in the
State. This season the tomato pack
is being confined to the gallon-can
size which has become so popular
with the hotel and restaurant men.
The pack of tomatoes each day at this
plant amounts to $500 cases while the
corn pack goes to the same quantity
per day. This mammoth establish
ment which began operations on or
about August 20, gives employment
to 100 persons, about 20 of whom are
local residents, the other 80 compris-
ing people from Baltimore Records
& Co., are expecting the pack of the
season to amount to 10000 cases of
tomatoes and $4,000 cases of corn.
Besides the Townsend factory, there
are two others, one at Blackbird Sta
tiOn the other at Vandykes, in charge

ADVISES WHEAT ACREAGE CUT
Decrease of 2O2t in Marketable Crop
Would Clear Glut, Says Gray Sill
yer, Farm Bureau Adviser

Delaware farmers as we'll as others
of the country, should cut their Win
ter wheat acreage 20 per cent. instead
of the Is per cent. which they have
indicated to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture they should
do, declared Gray Silver, legal repre-
sentative of the American Farm Bur-
eau Federation, in an official interview
given out recently. Mr.. Silver who
recently spoke to farmers at Angus
tine Piers insists that if the farmers
are going to make really serious eff
fort to reduce their wheat acreage
some such action must be taken as it
is imperative that this acreage be
greatly reduced from that of a year
ago. Mr.. Silver continued: at is
too early to state how much of re-
duction should be made in the spring
sown crop but it will be ample time
to do this after it is certain what
acreage the farmers have actually
sown for winter wheat and its condi-
ton. The winter wheat crop COM
prises two thirds of our entire wheat
acreage and therefore it is most i'm
portant from the standpoint of reduc-
tion of acreage. If there should be
very little winter killing and the
abandonment of acreage from that
cause varies from 2 to 80 par cent
there would not necessarily be ma
terial or even any reduction in yield
next year of the reduction in acreage
sown amounts to Is per cent. The
American Farm Bureau Federation
along with numerous other agencies
for some time has been urging upon
the farmers the necessity for adjust
ing wheat production in respose tC
consumptive demand and thus elimi.
mating to a considerable degree the
surplus wheat which annually break:
our markets and makes US largely de
pendent upon the world price for tha
commodity. 1t makes US compete
with the Indian and the coOlie labor
The wheat acreage has been shifting
materially in the last few years in ou
efforts to help feed wheat to tn
world. During the last decade we in
creased the acreage sOwn some thinj
like 24,000,000 acres in this country
We have only partially come back t
normal basis since the peak i'm
mediately following the war. Thos
familiar with the increased whea
acreage then, know that many thous
ands of acres were brought unde
wheat which under normal condition
would not have been considered prim
wheat land and which at the tim
were producing crops of other kinds.

TOMATOES GLUT MARKET AND
DROP TO Is CENTS A BASKET
SMYRNA LANDING BOATS NOT
GIVING HIGH PRICES THIS YEAR
Growers on Open Market Are Finding
the Contractor Better Off.-Can-
neries Getting All They Want

Tomatoes. tomatoes everywhere!
The glut is on and prices dropped
yesterday at the boat at Smyrna
Landing to Is cents a basket and
there being no. boat to-day farmers on
the open market offered them this
morning for 10 cents a basket. Can
neries are loaded up so much so they
are getting enough from their con-
tractors to supply their needs and are
buying few on the open market.
Growers on open market are not get
ting the high prices they anticipated.
New Jersey and Maryland have their
own crops and are not eager to buy
here like in former years. Conse-
quently it is keeping prices down.
Not for many years has there
been such glut of tomatoes in lower
Delaware as at the present time. The
canning factories have more than
they can handle which has depressed
the price and many farmers aver they
will not pick until the market ad-
vances. The latter part of last week
buyers were only offering five cents
per basket around Milford. This
week the price has increased to fif-
teen. 1t cost the growers five cents
to have basket picked and twelve
cents to obtain the carrier. Those
who have contracts with Gamers con
slider themselves lucky,as the contract
price is twenty-five cents per IS bas
ket. At the canning establishment
situated at Houston there were stand
ing piled Monday evening 100 bas
kets of tomatoes which they had beer
unable to handle, In order to takt
care of the large yield this Gamer!
has been offering cents per buckle
to "skinners," the regular price pal,
being cents per bucket. Many la
borers are taking advantage of tn
+. offer and this has made a scarcity o
help at other places. At Milford an
other down state towns where ther
are factories the streets are lined wit
wagons loaded with tomatoes and
takes many hours for farmer VIII
! has brought tomatoes to the factor
to get his wagon unlOaded, as the
are compelled to wait their turn.
. is stated that next week condition wi
, be improved as the glut of the seaso
will then be over, and tomatoes wi
take an advance in price.
