GRAPE GROWERS SEE
MODERN METHODS
DEMONSTRATED
: E'sysn Commercial Vineyards Wis.
r I'D And Results Of Differ
ent Methods Observed.
KENT IS GRAPE CENTRE
Over Seven Hundred Acres Are
Now Set In Grapes With More
Being Planted Each Year.

The second annual grape growers
tour which was held in Kent county
last Friday under the direction OF
the Agricultural Extension Depart
ment cooperating with the Farm
Bureau and the Grape Growers AS
sOeiation was one of the most sue
cessful farm tours ever conducted
IN Delaware. 1t was estimated that
at least seVenty-five growers were
present and practically all of them
remained throughout the entire trip.
The weather was ideal and everyone
came with the idea of having an en-
joyable and profitable day.
Eleven commercial vineyards in
the Dover, Wyoming and Lebanon
districts were visited on this trip
and each grower was given the op-
pOrtunity to see the cultural meth
Ods used by his neighbor In each OF
these eleven vineyards, the visitors
fouIG something of interest, and
everyone who went on this tour re-
marked that he was well repaid for
having spent the day in becoming
better acquainted with the extent of
the grape industry in this section of
theyeounty Although these few vine
yal3s represent but a very small
proportion of the vast acreage of
beCring vines, and those that are
jusC coming into bearing, the mem
beIs of this tour were able to grasp
the increase in grape culture and
the important part this crop plays
in the agricultural operations in
Kent county.
At 10 o'clock in the morning the
growers. assembled at the farm of
Ed. Willin who has the largest vine
yard in the state. After the visitors
had examined these grapes, they
we It to the vineyards of W. S.
Short where they were told how
these vines had been restored by
proper care and treatment from an
almost hopeless condition to a state
of profitable production.
The next stop was made at the |
vineyard of S. J. Hall in which an
on the control of black
rot was conducted by the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station for a num-
ber of years. From here the party
motored to the farm of John M. Roe,
who has just recently gone into the
grape business, and whose ten acre

CARS BURNED
AFTER CRASH
Two Maryland Automobiles Are
: A Total Loss After Unusual
Accident Sunday Night.

While returning from RehOboth
Beach early Sunday night, a Chal-
mers sedan owned by Samuel c.
Parson, of Delmar, Md, and bearing
"a Maryland license tag No, 207-7O2

and started to tow the Parson car to
"a garage, Willey's engine got too hot
under the strain of pulling the car,
and the two machines were pulled
off the road a short distance from
tile Georgetown-Milton road, until
the engine could cool off and the
Snen proceed to a garage.
While the cars were parked along
the right side of the right of way,
Asbury NJ. Day, a Georgetown con-
tractor and builder, driving a Ford
touring car and coming from the di-
rection of Lewes, ran into the rear
end OF the Parson car with such
force that the front part of the Day
car was smashed into the Parson

MILFORD MERCHANTS
TO HOLD DDOLLAR DAY
Second Bargain Day, September
3rd, Promises To Be Even Better
Than Their First Attempt.

The Milford merchants have ar.
ranged to hold their Second Dollar
Day on Wednesday, September Bird
AT a meeting on Tuesday night OF
the Milford Business Mems Associa-
tiOn final plans for the affair were
adopted and committees appointed to
prepare for the event. The commit
tee has contracted with the Milford
Chronicle for several pages of adver-
tising in next weeks issue, and also
for several thousand posters which
they will distribute throughout the
two lower counties.
The first Dollar Day ever held in
Milford, on February 9th last, was
successful in every respect. The
merchants planned the event with
the idea of promoting better feeling
among their customers and to show
strangers what Milford stores had to
offer. The crowds that attended the
sales that day were remarkable, and
all bought real bargains. The mer-
chants have again pledged them
selves to give real values on Dollar
Day.
Not only the larger merchants, but
the very smallest are enthusiastic in
working for the success of this
venture. The plans so far have pro-
gressed to the point where the COM
mittee in charge say that the values
given will be greater than in any
like affair held in any town in lower
Delaware.
Milford is the logical shopping
point for Sussex county, and for a
large portion of Kent county. The
stores here are the largest and car
ry bigger stocks of goods than any
in the state south of Wilmington. |
The prices compare favorably with |
those charged in other towns on the
peninsula, and the quality is the
equal of any sold at the same prices
Notwithstanding this fact,
the Milford merchants plan to offer
in the way of cuts in
prices for Dollar Day, as well as
hundreds of smaller articles which
will sell for one dollar.
The idea behind the Dollar Day

ar as you possibly can in getting
real value. 1t does not mean that
every article sold will be sold for
)ne dollar; but it does mean that
price concessions will be made on
III articles which will be large in the
aggregate.
The merchants will make their an

he Chronicle. They will offer bar
,ains which carry real values, and
which should induce shoppers to {

new ELECTION FOR
HOUSTON SCHOOL
State Board Settles Many Problems.
COnsOIidates Pennington And
Three Rural Districts.

The State Board of Education held
an all-day session August IA in Do
yer, at which many matters concern
ing the schools for the coming year
were discussed, and several delega-
tions relative to keeping open for
next year were heard. Those schools
whose average attendance for the
past three years had been twelve or
less were represented.
The entire morning session, last
ing until l o'clock, was taken up
in a hearing of the Houston school
district matter, where a tie vote Oc-
Cured at the annual school cleo
ton, resulting in the State Board
naming H. B. Greenley, as the men,
Der of the Board.
During the discussion, which was
listened to by fifty or more of the
Houston people, a very unsettled
condition of affairs at Houston over
school matters was revealed. Poll
tics, as well as several petty things
concerning the school management,
entered into the argument and the
pro and con of the situation reached
SOIu6WudL VI d ulSu u6SIGG5 WHICH,
was finally ended without any seri-
Gus trouble. Objections to the prin-
cipal of the school was also injected
into the argument.
One or two of Houston's prominent
citizens, without bias or prejudice,
stated at the hearing, on being ask
ed by a member of the State Board !
as to the feeling in the community |
over the appointment of Greenley |
instead of Sharp, that it could be
well said that the large majority of |
the citizens of Houston were salts
fed with the State Boards action.
After sharp tilts back and forth
by those in favor of Greenley and
those favoring Sharp, the State
Board made this proposition in the
interest of harmony: That all three
Of the present members of the HOus-
on consolidated district resign; that
4 new election be held and that the
.hree members receiving the high
est number of votes be declared
elected, and that the State board
would appoint such three men as
he school trustees until the next
general school election in May, 1925.
On reconvening in the afternoon,
he State Board, by resolution,
.dopted this proposition, which prov
d satisfactory to the. delegation. The {
