ustine Piers, the new owners are ask
ing for a four mile stretch to connect
with the dupont Boulevard. The new
owners are pointing out that last
Sunday no less than three thousand
automobiles brought cutters to the
beach. A good road, it is believed by
them, would result in that number of
machines from Wilmington alone
spending their idle days at the beach.
1t is understood that two miles of the
road will be built of cement this fall,
but the corporation feels it would be
to the advantage of all Delawareans
TO have the entire stretch of four
miles improved. It is also pointed
out that Delaware Beach offOrds
pleasure seekers from Wilmington

park of a variety of amusements. The
corporation is planning to develop the
park beyond its present condition.
Coasters, tobOggans, scOoters, a car

ers with the best advantages for en-
jOyment.

Many parents living in rural
communities are doubtless de-
batting whether they should
send the boys and girls who
completed the courses in the
small district schools last spring
to high school this fall. One
question they probably ask is:
"Will it pay in dollars and
cents ?" The United States De
partment of Agriculture and the
various State agricultural col
leges have made a number of in
vestigatiOns of the differences
between the incomes of educat-
ed and uneducated farmers. All
of these studies show that in
the majority of cases the better
trained farmers receive the bet
ter incomes. The results cited
in the following states are typi-
cal of these Investigations: The
Department of Agriculture re-
ports a survey of three repre-
sentative areas in Indiana, Illi-
nois, and Iowa, which shows
that tenant farmers with a high
school education receive an av-
erage annual labor income of
S526 a year more than the men
with only common-school edu-
cation. A college education will
add to this average S453 a year
making Ihe income OF cOliege
graduates 1919 more a yeal
than the labor earnings of the
men with only a commOn-schOOI
education.
Cornell University has esti
mated that high school educa
ton is worth as much to a farm
er as $4,000 worth of bond.

worth twice that amount.

opened yesterday for its annual
display Of the products Of the
farms of the lower end of Del
aware. Speaking of it The Mil
ford Chronicle says: THE fruits,
grain, cattle, swine and horses,
will form a very attractive part
of the display; but the poultry
exhibit promises to be unusually
large and fine. Lower Delaware
is one of the great poultry pro-
ducing sections of the United
States and is so recognized. The
horse racing will attract great
crowds of people who delight in
the efforts of flesh, bone and
muscle straining for superiority
as demonstrated by the trained
racing horses, which gather an
nually for this event. All of
this is very necessary for the
welfare of the annual fair and
the advancement of the agricul-
tural interests of our state. Yet
there is another department in
this annual Kent and Sussex
County Fair, which the parents
should consider from a serious
standpoint, for it affects direct
ly their children and their fu-
ture interests and success. This
department has in the past been
well arranged and a prominent
place been given to it in the eX-
hibits of domestic science work.
The canning clubs Of all sections
of Delaware which are operated
by the boys and girls of many of
the school districts, have prac-
tical displays of what the boys
and girls have accomplished in
the past and are doing at the
present time, in canning the
products of their home farms il
a practical way, which means
money saved, and healthy fOOC
for the family, which has cos
little more than the time ant

girls in manufacturing article
