TOMATOES Low; CROP LARGE
In Some Districts the Farmers Are
Letting Crop Rot in the Fields

While the early indications this year
were that the tomato crop would be
very short, and that the prices would
be high as a result thereof, the re-
verse has proven to be the case. At
ter a very poor start, the tomato
plants grew we'll and one of the larg-
est crops in the history of the state
is now in the fields. This has led to
a condition whereby the growers find
no market for their tomatoes. Those
farmers who contracted for their crop
this year are fortunate; for the ma
jOrity of those who grew for an open
market find that they have no buyers.
In several sections of the state the
crop is being allowed to waste in the
fields. The market price has been as
low as four cents a basket which price
is almost what the farmers have to
pay to have the tomatoes picked. The
lack of a demand for the vegetable
this year is caused in part by the
failure of a large number of Gamers
to operate their factories. Early in
the year the indications were that the
crop would be short with correspond
ingly high prices. Fearing to operate
because of the indicated shortage the
Gamers made no arrangements to op-
crate the factories, and when it was
learned that the crop would be large
it was too late for them to secure
cans and other supplies.

SEAFORD'S CANNERY BURNED
Thousands of Cases of Canned TOma-
toes DestrOyed-LOs is $4,000

toes Destroy yed-LOsS is S5O,OOO
Fire, causing $4,000 loss, recently
destroyed the Ross Canning House,
owned and operated by Ira Wright
and w. Herbert Hall, together with
about $4,000 cases of packed tomatoes
10000 unpacker cans, machinery, etc.
The fire originated in the engine room.
A carload of packed tomatoes, stand
ing on the railroad siding, was also
destroyed, and 1000 baskets of un-
packed tomatoes in the yard were
burned. SeafOrd fremen were handi-
capped because the cannery is situated
too far from freplugs and the river
water is low. Several hundred per-
sons were thrown out of employment.
The plant had been in operation until
II o'clock Friday night and was to
have resumed at $50 o'clock Saturday
morning. The tomato packing is
right at the peak of the season. Moses
Cannon, colOred, the night watchman,
was making his rounds and when he
got to the engine room about 5 o'clock
he discovered a small blaze where a
board partition had been ignited in
some unknown manner. He says he
tried for some time to give the alarm
by telephone and failing to arouse
anyone, he caught up two buckets and
started toward the Nanticoke river
but a short distance away. Cannon
found the tide low and the mud banks
so deep he could not wade out to the
water. He then returned to the plant
and succeeded in sending an alarm to
the Seaford Fire Company. They re-
sponded but they, too, found the water
in the river so low their engine could
not get suction and they were help
less. They were also short of hose
and had to return for more. Finally
they connected with a plug at the
Greenabaum plant but the flames hac
gained such headway it was beyond
control and nothing could be done tC
save the cannery and it burned to the
ground. During the fire the lives OF
the firemen and spectators were i'm
periled by many explosions. As the
water in the packed cans turned tC
steam from the heat the cans eXplOd'
ed, throwing the packed tomatoes il
all directions.

DISCUSS FORMING A PENINSULA
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
FASTER PROGRESS AND MORE
WORK is ACCOMPLISHED
Costs Per Pupil, However, Are Lower
In One Or TwO-Teacher Rural
Schools Federal Statistics Show

The average consolidated school
costs more per pupil than the aver
| age one or two-teacher school but it
costs more in dollars to give a child
year of education in the small one
or twO-teacher rural school than in
larger consolidated schools, according
to a statement just issued by the
Rural Schools Division of the UU. S.
Bureau of Education. This is be-
cause there are fewer pupils per
teacher in the small one and two
teacher schools. This dollar cost is,
however, not the serious cost. That
is the time cost to the child. Mary
land may be taken as a typical state.
In Maryland 37.7 per cent of the
1880 pupils in the one and two
teacher schools are old for the grade
in which they are enrolled. Twenty
nine and one-tenth per cent of the
$3.50 pupils in schools having three
or more teachers are old for the grade
in which they are enrolled. That is,
8.5 pupils in each one hundred enroll
ed make faster progress through the
grades in the larger schools. This
means that the children in the larger
schools get a given amount of educa-
tiOn and go to work quicker than
those enrolled in the smaller schools
We should credit the larger schools
with the productive work of children
who are brought to a given education
al level quicker and therefore enter
productive work earlier in life.
Attractive as country life may be
the most enthusiastic ruralist will adj
nit that it has its handicaps. One
of its drawbacks is pointed out in this
item. The Bureau of Education, L. S.
Department of the Interior, has rec
emily compiled statistics from reports
received from over 500 county super
intendents of public schools contrast
ing the cost of country school with
the cost of public schools in the cities
and towns of less than $500 popula-
tiOn where less than half the enroll
ment comes from farm homes.
Based upon number enrolled in 1924
it is found that the per pupil cost in
the country schools of the United
States was $68.39 and in the schools
of the small cities and towns above in
dcated it was S100.64.
Dividing the whole country into
four geographical divisions it is found
that in the North Atlantic division the
rural schools cost 500 per pupil en-
rolled and the small city schools $85
In the North Central States the aver
age cost per pupil was $78 in the
country schools and $111 in the small
cities and large villages. In IA South
ern States the schools cost $34 pei
pupil in the country and $44 in the
small cities. In the Western division
country schools cost S97 per pupi
while the cost in the small cities anC
larger villages was $117 per pupil.
How can the wide difference in cost
be explained The reports show that
the small city schools are open one OF
two months longer and the salaries OF
teachers are 40 per cent larger thar
in the schools where more than so pei
cent of the children are from farm
homes.
