Sherman & Rhodes, the road con-
tractors, who are building the dupont
Boulevard section thru Smyrna from
the Leipsic Road to Armstrong; Cor
ner, are making rapid progress. More
than a third of it has been completed
and by the first of August they will
be we'll thru Smyrna. The contractors
will not tear the mecadam road from
the causeway to Leipsic road until
they have to, so as to allow traffic the
use of this stretch until the last
moment. Sherman and Rhodes began
pouring cement at the Armstrong IS
corner end and they have about reach
ed the Pryor's Corner-Walkers road
to-day. It is but a short distance
from there to. the fill for the cause
way at Duck Creek. BY the middle
of August they should have the road
completed, unless unforeseen delays in
weather or material should occur. The
people of down-State are looking for
ward to the opening of this three mile
stretch. When the north and south
approaches to Dover are built, there
will be no break the entire distance
outside Of the Odessa-St Georges
stretch, which is now under way anC

BUMPER WHEAT CROP IN STATE
Most of the Wheat Has Been Cut and
Threshing Started This Week

Threshing Started This Week
Without question farmers of the
Delaware Peninsula are harvesting an
unusual crop of wheat in every re-
spect, says the Milford Chronicle. The
quantity, the quality, the conditions
under which the work proceeded to
date, have all been most favorable.
With all of this there are dangers
surrounding the final threshing of the
crop, which are contingent entirely
upon the weather, prevailing in the
first and middle parts of July. With
favorable weather the crop will go
into bins in ideal condition. This
should mean better financial condi-
tions for the growers of grain; but,
at the prevailing price those who can
afford to hold their crop, will not sell
on the market. Wheat to be a prof.
table crop, should sell for not less
than one dollar and fifty cents per
bushel and certainly many of the larg-
er growers of both Delaware and
Maryland, will take chances on a bet
ter market later IN the year. Thresh-
ing wheat began this week from some
fields in Delaware, but in Maryland
especially the large wheat producing
counties, will stack the crop for fal
threshing. This policy is largely fol
lowed in the northern part of Del
aware, but it is not general; ever
though experience has shown it to b.
a safe plan to protect the spelling o
wheat in the shock, during weeks o
rain or humid weather.
