TURKEY CROP SHORT;
CRANBERRIES ABUNDANT

Baltimore, Md.-Turkeys are q
short crop this winter. Reports from
IL important producing States to the
United States Bureau of Agriculture
Economics, Department Of Agricul-
ture, indicate that the size Of the
turkey crop in those states this year
is about rs per cent Of the 1928 crop,
according to a statement given out
today by John s. Dennee, Federal
crop statistician stationed at Balt1-
more. A decided majority OF the
crop was Matched later than usual,
indicating that many of the birds
available for the Thanksgiving mar
ket would be small and light in
weight, or that a larger proportion
than usual would be held over to un-
dergo the ak at Christmas. The gen
eral condition Of most Of the crop
ranges from fair to good, with small
percentages reported as excellent,
and somewhat larger percentages
reported as poor. The cold, wet
spring was very hard on the young
turkeys, growers say, resulting in
heavy mortality. In some of the
states reporting, hocks were reduced
as a result Of the low price last sea-
son. o.
The growing condition of cranber-
ries ON October 1st indicated prob
able production Of $4,000 barrels
against $4,000 last year, say IL per
cent less. At that, the crop Of 1924
oronoises to be about IL per cent bet
ter than the average of the preced-
ne ten years.

DELAWARE GOOD ROADS SOON

FOR TAXATION =
Survey of LeWes.RehObOth Stretch
Shows S9S,1OO Increase Since
Building of Road in 1921-1922.

Does it pay the State Of Delaware
to build good roads?
Certainly the answer will be in
the affirmative so far as community
spirit and progressive ideas go. And
there is no doubt that it pays and
pays big, with hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars saved the individual
citizens speed Of deliveries and lack
of wear and tear on vehicles. Like
wise, in wear and tear on the nerves,
as any man is better contented driv-
ing on a smooth road than rough
one.
But does it actually pay the State
of Delaware in dollars and cents to
build and maintain good roads?
A survey that is being made by W.
W. Mack of the State Highway De-
partment, has in it's initial step,
shown some surprising results. This
survey, which, it is planned, will
eventually be extended all over the
state system Of roads, is for the pur-
pose Of learning what increase Of as
sessed value has arisen since the
laying down Of a modern, improved
highway.
The stretch Of road surveyed by
Mr.. Mack, accompanied by W. W.
Knight, Of Dover, whose plan for in
viting tourists to view Delaware via
the superb Delaware roads has met
with favor, is that between Lewes
and RehobOth, comprising sixteen
miles in all. This road was built
partly in 1921 and partly in 1922.

HE LOVES DELAWARE
WITH ITS HAPPY MEMORIES

There are folks who know how,
when and where to enjoy themselves,
as the following letter certifies. The
writer resides in Columbus, Ohio,
which has attractions, but the halo
Of early memories of a life started
in Delaware-and especially in old
Sussex COunty-hold strong, even
into the second generation. We, who
live in Delaware do not realize the
privileges which our home state
spread for our happiness; but the
.Delawarean who has left and settled
in distant state, knows and dreams
in later years, Of the old home and
the home Of their ancestors. The
letter follows:
December End, 1924.
Dear Editor of Chronicle:-
The writer was born in Milford
and now owns farm in Broadkiln
Neck, near Milton, Delaware, is a
subscriber to the Milford Chronicle
and enjoys reading it each week-so
that is enough introduction.
I always read the Milton letter
with especial zest, as it keeps me in
touch with many people of that part
of old Sussex county.
It may be little interest to some
who recall friendships of other days,
to know that there have been strang-
ers in their midst, who greatly en-
joyed Delaware and a few days va
cation from their studies.
My two daughters and a son are
students in eastern schools and this
year they decided, that they would
like to go down to the old home farm
In Sussex County, Delaware, to pass
Thanksgiving holidays.
That was a splendid suggestion
and opportunity for Mrs. Simpler
and myself, which we approved and
made up a party to make the Della
ware visit. Major florence and wife
If the Wenonah Military Academy,
New Jersey, and Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam c. Gegler, Of Philadelphia, who
we're formerly Of Delaware, accepted |
,ur invitation. The young folks were |
gathered into the party and all land
ID at the old farm, where the de-
ightful weather and fine hunting
urned out successfully. We bagged
Iuail, rabbits and ducks in satisfying
numbers.
In the brief time we enjoyed the
ANGUS Delaware hospitality, there
7ere several friends from Milford, !
Milford chronicle., 1924-12-12

Milton and other nearby places, who
paid their respects and we enjoyed
several hours of their society;
among whom were Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman c. Johnson of Milford; Mr..
and Mrs. Leon Black and Mr.. and
Mrs. Oliver Hazard, of Milton.
We left the farm on Sunday after
noon, the children for their schools
and our friends for their homes
while Mrs. Simpler and myself re-
turned to Ohio Monday night; where
i at home in the shadows of the
lamp light-often dream of Della
ware.
I enjoyed a trip to the good State
of Delaware and to the farm from
whence came my ancestors; as well
as to Milford, Delaware, the scene
of my boyhoOd days. All Delawar-
cans should bless the man who Gre
ated their highways by his gener-
Osity in building a boulevard, such
as Delaware now has a right to be
proud of.
w. B. SIMPLER,
Columbus, Ohio.
It's no use to try to wean Della
warean from his first and only real
love. Pleasures or palaces can not
win their allegiance, or fealty from

WRITE PLAINLY, WRAP WELL
START IN TIME

One Of the important features in
the Shop Early, Mail Early cam
paign, which is being put on through
out the country by the Post Office
Department, is the proper address,
ing and securely wrapping Of
Christmas packages. When you wrap
your Christmas packages, wrap them
securely, put your address in the up
per left corner, so, if by any chance,
it should go astray, it can be return
ed to you and not sent to the dead
letter office. The good folks Of our

community last year helped to bring
joy and happiness to hundreds Of
thousands Of postmen and clerks.
Let's do our shopping early and
mailing early again this year, so
that we may again enable the post
men and the post Office clerks to eat
their Christmas dinners home with
their families and at the same time
assure ourselves Of having our
Christmas presents delivered to our
friends in order that they may be
opened on Christmas morning.

stretch Of good road, built in 1921
and 1922, is thus shown in a farm
ing community to have resulted al
ready in close to 100000 in increas-
ed assessable value.
