MILFoRD-MILTON HIGHWAY

Another Stretch of Road on Milford
Milton RehObOth Route To Be Built
Bids will be opened by the Della
ware State Highway Department on
June 25 for the construction of ap-
proximately four miles of concrete
highway from Milford to what is
known as the Brick Granary, in Cedar
Creek district. This will be the first
stretch in the connecting link from
the State highway at Milford with the
highway running from Georgetown to
Rehoboth Beach. When the road is
finished from Milford to Nassau, there
will be a concrete highway running
from the Kent county line to Reho-
both Beach via Milton in the eastern
section of Sussex county. This will
mean the opening up Of thousands OF
acres Of valuable farm land along the
Delaware Bay shore in Cedar Greek
and Broadkin districts. This is con-
sidered one of the richest agricultural
sections in lower Delaware, and for
years the farmers have been elamor-
ing for a good road as an outlet over
which to haul their produce. The
farms bordering the marshes Of the
Delaware Bay annually produce thou
sands of bushels Of corn, the section
being considered one Of the best IN
! Delaware for corn growing.

FIGHTING TENT CATERPILLARS
Farmers and Residents of This Vicin-

Farmers and Residents of This Vicin-
ity Are Keeping Up Constant Watch
Tent-caterpillars are having a fine
feed in many orchards these days, de-
spite the efforts of the State Board of
Agriculture to arouse farmers to the
Importance of doing away with their
"tents." Arsenate of lead spray is
the thing prescribed to kill the pest
that is doing many hundreds of dol
lars damage to the fruit crop. The
caterpillars browse in the orchards
only at night, retiring to their "tents"
in the forks of trees in the daytime,
and for that reason are easily eXter-
minated of the proper method is
adopted. The farmers are all made
acquainted with the method by in
formation sent out by the board and
in agricultural papers, but many have
not taken precautions. There is said
to be more damage done in the lower
portions of the State than around
Smyrna. In Wilmington and vicinity
many of the caterpillars have been
exterminated by the forestry section
of the Street and Sewer Department
in cutting off and digging up wild
cherry trees on lots, and in spraying
with arsenate of lead.

LAND WHALE DELAWARE BAY
Brought Ashore at Cedar Beach by
Two Fishermen After Hard Tug
Monster Weighs Over Two Tons


After a terrific battle of more than
an hours duration during which
boat was overturned and threatened
with complete demolition by blows
from the mammals tail, and the occu-
pants thrown into the water and
threatened with death, a whale six
teen feet long and weighing approx
mately two tons was brought ashore
at Cedar Beach along the Delaware
Bay, seven miles east of Milford Sat
urday afternoon. High and dry on
the sand late Saturday night it was
still alive. Hundreds of people went
from the surrounding country to view
the curiosity, the first catch of the
kind reported in the Delaware Bay for
many years. The fishing crew of
Downing and Rissling, who have been
working from Cedar Beach this sea-
son, were on shore when they saw a
spout of water rise from the surface
of the bay about 300 yards off shore
and Immediately recognized it as the
signal from a blow whale. They es-
timated it could not be a very large
one to make its way into the bay so
they jumped into their fishing boat
and put out to capture the prize. They
were armed with sturgeon hooks to
one of which they had fastened a long
rope. But the whale was prepared to
do battle and it showed fight at every
attempt made to get one of the stur-
geon hooks caught in its hide. 1t
lashed about with its tail and finally
with a powerful blow overturned the
small boat. The two men were
thrown into the water and barely es-
capped being beaten to death by blows
from the mammals tail. They man
aged to Chamber back into their boat
and resumed the fight. Finally one
of the sturgeon hooks was caught in
the whales snout and there held fast
The two fishermen hurried ashore and
summoned help. Four other fishermen
went to their aid and the six of them
by pulling on the rope fastened to the
sturgeon hook in the whales snOut
managed to drag the huge carcass up
on the sand but only after great diff
ficulty. The whale has black skin and
is proving a great curiosity. Rissling
lives at 1884 South Fourth street
Philadelphia. Downing lives at the
beach. What disposition is to be
made of the whales carcass has no.
been determined.
