PUMPKIN BIG PAYER THIS YEAR
The Yield Averaging Eight TOns.and
$40 to $50 Profit an Acre to Farmers

The Yield Averaging Eight TOns.an
$40 to $50 Profit an Acre to Farmers
According to reports made to the
Bureau of Markets at Dover, this is
the banner year for pumpkins. The
production per acre is said to be heav-
ier and the quality finer than for
many years. But the most satisfac-
tory part of the pumpkin crop is the
price that the Gamers are paying
farmers for their crop. The yield this
year is averaging eight tons to the
acre. The farmer is receiving So a
ton in the rough, just as he delivers
the melons to the cannery, so that
the profit to the farmer averages be-
tween $50 and $40 an acre. Because
pumpkins are usually the second crop
for Delaware farmers, on the same
plot of land, and because their pro-
duction requires little cultivation. and
no particular care after the vines
have once started, the growing of
pumpkins is particularly profitable
Conditions were right this year. There
was enough moisture without too
much of it and the vines did well.
Usually the farmers are supplied with
seeds when they contract with the
Gamers, so that, other things being
normal, the Gamer knows just about
how much of pack he has contracted
for and the farmer can figure out how
much of return is coming to him.
The pumpkin packing season in low
er Delaware is now at its height. At
the Torch Packing Company in Mil
ford canning of pumpkins is well un-
der way and the farmers who supply
the pumpkins, are well satisfied with
their returns. This cannery operates
each season on this vegetable, but not
in the extensive way that the Cannon
cannery at Bridgeville operates. At
that town the industry of growing
pumpkins is part of the farm opera
tiOns and the money gained there
from is welcome addition to the
farmers, while the refuse and waste
pumpkins make fine feed for both
hogs and cattle.
This year the cannery at Bridge
vile has packed over 1900 tons, which
means that 10000 cases will be pack
ed. The pumpkins are washed, chop
ped into sections and steamed for 20
minutes, the skins and what has been
neglected of the inner pulp being
strained and skinned off, leaving the
delicious yellow pumpkin meat to
flow through sanitary conduits to the
packer. The entire process is as near
absolutely sanitary as it is possible
to arrange, because the product is not
touched by hand after the pumpkins
are washed, cleaned of the seeds and
inside pulp.

Railroads interested have already
given assurance of sufficient support
to make certain the construction of
resort hotel at Virginia Beach, to
cost $2,000,000 or more, became known
last week at Norfolk. 1t is expected
the project will be we'll under way
within a year. 1t is planned to con-
struct the hotel on a scale that will
make it rank well alongside the finest
resort hostelries in the South, and the
Pennsylvania Railroad probably will
be in position by the time the hotel
is built to guarantee through rail
transportation from the North direct
to the beach. The Pennsylvania de-
velOpment at Little Greek, by which
it will ferry it's trains from Cape
Charles to the Norfolk side of the
harbor, probably will get under way
within a short time, and it is assured
that in the construction of freight
terminals, passenger transportation
facilities wall be arranged. A number
of prominent Norfolk business men
have been interested for several years
in the construction of a modern hotel
at Virginia Beach and it is practically
assured now that their efforts will be
rewarded. The hotel will be designed
after the plans of some of the famous
hotels in Florida.

MORE HARD LUCK FOR BICKING
Son of POcOmOke City Pastor Shot
Halloween But Not Fatally Wounded

Son of POcOmOke City Pastor Shot
Halloween But Not Fatally Wounded
Ill fortune apparently continues to
follow Rev. ]. R. Bicking, pastor of
Salem NJ. E. Church, Pocomoke City,
Md, the relentless foe of the boot
leggers in that town and vicinity.
During a Halloween celebration on
the grounds of the PocomOke City
High School Wednesday night, J. Will
lard Bicking, the oldest son of the
minister, was shot by Clifton Mason,
negro, 21 years old. The shooting,
according to the negro, was done in
moment of fright when he declared
he thought the boy and his compan-
ions were going to attack him. Cliff
ton was arrested and given a hearing
before Justice Woodland Long and
sentenced to one year in the House of
Correction. Since the beginning of his
attacks on the illegal liquor traffic,
Mr.. Bicking has been the target for
numerour attacks from boOtleggers.
First his motor boat was scuttled and
later set afre and burned. Next his
enemies sent him threatening letters
and later his house was burned. The
continued attacks on the minister are
said to have affected his wife's health
as to cause her death several weeks
ago. Despite his persecution, Mr.
Bicking declares he will continue his
crusade for law enforcement.
