Bowers Beach

The past weekend was practically
the opening of the season here with
visitors and so-jOurners in cottages
and hook and line fish fans.
So far as Obtainable there will be
one hundred and two transportation
boats here to operated this season and
possibly more from the inquiries the
sportsmen from Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey, Maryland and
our own State they will have plenty to
do.
While the season is comparatively
late in fish coming in the Delaware
bay they have been equally so in more
southern waters until the last week or
so, but at present they are coming in
large quantities.
The seine haulers even up this far
are beginning to catch quite a few
trout and abundance of crOakers,
while down the bay a few miles they
are reported to be catching them in
large quantities.
A fact apparent that when even only
a few fish that are caught along the
surf with seines that they are far
more plentiful out in deep water on
the hook and line fishing banks in the
bay.
Evidently such is the fact when on
Saturday of last week a party of four
men from York, Pa, put in their ap-
pearance about Z o'clock in the morn
ing and wanted to be taken out to try
them to see if they would take the
hook. The weather being chilly and
the wind northeast they had a hard
time to get a bOatman to take them
out on account of the roughness of the
bay. They finally succeeded and
but long enough to capture 13 crOak-
ers and then returned.
At noon Saturday there were four
men came from Moore, Pa, while the
wind had calmed down and the water
in the bay had smOOthed up they
secured bOatman and went out and
n two hours time had hauled in !
arge crOakers, came in and departed !
or home happy with their short stay !
Therefore the season for fishing has |
Dpened and should the next weekend |
DrOve fair in weather conditions there
will be several hundred of the fans
With us especially if all those who
ave made reservations and have been
otified to put in their appearance.
While vegetation is backward on ac-
cunt of the backward spring the
armers and truckers are pushing
head with their work and the great /
st acreage have been sown in peas
IT the canneries this spring than ever
efore in Murderkil Neck, and there
ill be a large acreage planted in
Dmatoes also.
The first crop of all kinds promises
} be good should nothing occur to G
'event later on. r

LOWER DELAWARE is interested

LOWER DELAWARE is interested
in the future advancement and pros
perity of the City of Wilmington, and
the business interests of that city are
directly interested in the trade from
the entire Del-Mar-Via Peninsula
from a business point of view, which
is but naturally to be expected. There
is another benefit for all to be gain
ed only through and by direct touch
of personality; which can only come
through the mingling of the peoples
from both the city and the rural dis
tricts. This point can be best real
lied by making it possible for all to
meet upon a common ground and with
a cOngeniality of purposes, which may
be either for amusement or advance
ment of the personal interest of the
individual 1t is also a well estab-
lished fact, that we'll managed State
or county fairs afford this common
ground for getting to know and appre-
ciate the people of the State and PENN
sula, each by the other; for that parti-
cular reason, if for no other, the State
Fair at Wilmington must be rehabi'
litated and be made the annual gath
ering point of the people of the entire
Del-Mar-Via Peninsula each recurring !
season. The displays of stock, poul-
try and manufactures are educational |
to those directly interested in agricul- |
ture. while the horse racing affords !
sport and attract those with sporting
proclivities. The clean amusements,
and there are clean amusements,
which all can enjoy, should form
another form of attraction. To bring
this about the business men of Will
mington have this week made tour
of the towns of lower Delaware, meet
ing the leading citizens of each, to dis
cuss a plan to reorganize the State
Fair at Wilmington. This is a PROPOSE
ton that all the people of Delaware
should be interested in and earnestly
encourage. It may not yield direct
money returns for every dollar spent
TO bring this to success, but 1t Will
bring the people to a closer under r
standing of how much they are de- F
pendent upon each other, and what L
can be accomplished in money returns '
through business dealings with our =
home city of Wilmington-and at the O
same time make known to the people
Of that city, that they have great \
clientel and a population well worth 7
cultivating. Every dollar we receive
can not be counted as clear gain, but c
must be put back into business TO o
keep the wheels turning. Encourage =
he State Fair proposition when you D
ire asked to consider it.
