ceive much good from campaign of
this kind if every citizen will take 1t
upon himself to do his share. A cam
paign of this kind cannot be success
full unless cooperation is given 1t by
everyone in the state.
I'VE do not expect a great influx of
settlers this year or next year, but It
will, if properly conducted, create in
the minds Of the people in the East
some idea at Washington and will
make them understand the state
much better. The campaign will be
conducted along the educational line
and should stimulate a permanent
growth in Washington.
mo greater mistake could be made
than to induce people to come to
Washington with the idea that they
can make success with little effort.
This is not "get-rich-country." The
man who succeeds must work hard
and we do not want people who can
not readily adapt themselves to local
conditions and changed surroundings.
At conference held in Spokane, A.
B. Smith, A. ]. Dickinson and P. S.
Eustis, passenger traffic managers Of
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and Burlington railroads were pres
ent and offered many suggestions. In
commentator on the Washington
campaign and the Pacific Northwest
Advertising Campaign, Mr.. Eustice
said:

Pacific Northwest. We have got to.
AS railroads, we live here. Our lines
reach practically every county in the
state. Upon the success of this coun-
try depends our success; our prosper
ity accompanies yours.
ut is good business for all of US
who live here and who depend on
Washington, to advertise. Washing
ton is worth advertising. We do not
ask that you raise funds for this pur'
pose; we propose that the Burlington
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
pay the bills for this advertising. Oul
railroads are willing to do this.
lis this the right time to advertise

some of your wellinformed citizens
that Washington is ready for ma

will cooperate and welcome visitors

TEN YEARS IN THE "HOME
TOWN" NEWSPAPERS
United States Rubber Company Cele-
brates Tenth Anniversary Of a Pic.
neering Advertising Program.

In 1915 there were 2,445,666 auto
mobiles in this country.
1t seemed a tremendous number.
Some people were already talking
about "the saturation point" being
not far ahead.
But if there were some men who
couldn't see the woods for the trees
there were others whose faith never
faltered.
It took lot of vision for them to
see that the true market for the au-
tomObile had hardly been touched.
1t took lot of courage for them
to bank on the ultimate success of
the automobile in that market.
They had both.
Back in 1915, the United States
Rubber Company said "The real fu-
ture of the automobile is not in the
big cities but away from them"
1t is not in short runs on city
streets, but in mile after mile on
country roads"
So back in 1915 the United States
Rubber Company began to prepare
for this mOvement-and to help it.
In 1915-ten years agO-the first
U. S. Tire advertising began to ap-
pear in the home town" papers.
Few people saw these papers in
their true dimension.
Few realized the influence they
had on what the people thought and
did and wore and bought. Because
few people realized the place they
filled in the minds and lives of their
readers.
The United States Rubber Com
pany saw.
AS clearly as it saw that the devel-
opment of the automobile would be
in the smaller communities, it saw
that the people in these communities
would have to have tires to measure
up to the service and tire merchants
to sell them.
And it saw that in the "home
town" newspapers it had, ready to
hand, the medium to help it put tire
merchandising where it would have
to be in the new era of the automo-
bile.
So ten years ago people began to
r6du Cne urSC U. .. lire advertising
in their "home town" paper-over
the name of their "bome town"
dealer.
They have been reading it ever
since.
They have seen these home deal
ers develop their little "side line Of
tires" into real business-always
with the support of "U. S." Adver-
tising in these local papers.
Co-incident with the tenth ami
Of "home town" advertising |
by the United States Rubber Com
pany, this company announces an
other long step forward in the per-
lection of automobile tires-the |
greatest since the introduction of |

DELAWARE PEACHES and CANTALOUPES
WILL Be HERE in ABOUT TWO WEEKS
Prospects Look Better Now Than When FrOs Npped Blossoms And
BudsSOuhern Market Is Over Which Makes Supply Short And
Fancy Prices Are Anticipated.

states. Usually the first Delaware
peaches go to market at the time
when Georgia peaches are at their
peak. But this year the Georgia peak
has already been reached and conse-
quently by the time Delaware pea
ches start, there will be no strong
competitor such as Georgia from the
South.
( 1t also means that with no strong
supply the market will make pos
sible better prices for fine goods.
With proper inspection service and
the guarantee of the U. S. back of
selected peaches. fruit grown in this
state ought to bring fancy prices.
Practically at the same time that
peaches come along, the Delaware
cantaloupes will also be ripening
and getting ready for market. The
outlook just now is all that could be
expected. Last year there were 512
carloads shipped by rail and 39,842
crates went forward by motor truck.
There is every Indication at this
time of the crop being equally as
heavy.
During the past week and for the
next two or three the early apple
crop is occupying all the time of the
apple growing sections in Kent and
upper Sussex counties. Last week
Herbert L. Geer of North Carolina,
one of the three government apple
inspectors was affected with a boil
on the big toe of his left foot. The
boil was lanced but despite all pre-
cautions the toe became infected and
on Wednesday,, Geer was taken to
the Delaware hospital in Whining
ton.
This left but two inspectors on
the job and as a consequence these
men are being worked every minute
of the working day and Oftentimes
over hours in inspecting Delaware's
early crop of apples. Prices ranged |
fine throughout the week and the |
apple growers are happy over the |
returns. The inspection is proving
such a fine financial investment for |
them that practically everyone who
has any amount of apples to be sold |
is having them government inspect
ed.
The past week almost closed the
wheat harvest. There are some
farms where the grain has not been
threshed, but these will be cleared
up this week if it doesn't rain. The
wheat is yielding fine, ranging from
Is bushels up to as high as 80 bush
els the acre and the average is
about % to 25 bushels, which is a
1ery satisfactory return-Sunday

With the first carload of cucum-
bers going forward from Laurel the
first of last week, with peaches and
cantaloupes on two weeks earlier
than usual and with prospects of
other fruits and vegetables being a
bit earlier and of normal or near
normal crops, Delaware farmers are
looking forward to one of the busiest
summers in their lives.
Seaford, which is the center of the
cucumber growing section, will be
one of the busiest places for the next
few weeks. According to growers
quality of the "cukes" was never
finer. Last year the first carload
went forward in July 8, but this year
it was a few days earlier. The crop
it is expected, will be equally as
large and heavy as in 1924 when 23S
carloads and 1908 baskets were
shipped.
The price for the cucumbers is
another encouraging outlook, be-
cause it is considered good. An
average of eighty cents a bushel is
hoped for and in addition to those
shipped the canneries are preparing
to pickle away large quantities of
cucumbers for the winter months.
Conditions have been very favorable
for growing cucumbers this year and
those who go in for raising them on
a large scale are very much encour-
aged with the way the vines are COW
cred.
TaS+ sDrino vrbay, tho Lotto RrOcfc
and freezes came along and nipped
the peach blossoms and buds, re-
ports of the damage done varied.
Even the most conversant felt that
probably rs per cent. of the peaches
had been destroyed but the outlook
now is much more encouraging
Those who have watched their trees
have been pleased by the size and
apparent quality of the peaches and
now the optimistic ones feel that in
stead of but quarter of the crop |
Of normal years, that at least half
of the total will be picked this year.
Last year it was August when
the first carload went to city mark
cts, but because of the advanced
spring and summer, Delaware
peaches are expected to be in market
by the third week in July, two weeks
ahead of last summer.
Last year was a big year for
peaches there being 5S2 carloads and
21, 900 baskets transported, the lat
ter by motor trucks. If half this to-
tai is reached this year the peach
growers will be gratified. One con-
dition that makes the outlook more
is the crops in other
