ANOTHER CHANCE TO SAVE
FISH AND BIRDS GONE

1t is to be deeply regretted that
the project of establishing a game
asylum in the lower part of the
State was abandoned and the splen-
did offer-even though from an "out-
lander"-with withdrawn.
The reason for giving up the pro-
ject, as stated in the newspaper re-
ports, was based on the protests of
people living on the land needed for
the purpose, that they would have no
place on which to hunt and shoot.
1t is not vastly more important
that wild bird life, game, waterfowl
and all sorts of living creatures be
permitted to live and multiply, al
most all the rest Of the country is
wrong. The world today is suffering
because of the destruction of birds
and wild fowl until everything
grown in the orchards or fields has
a potential enemy, until tillers of
the soil are obliged to apply much
labor and expense to fight the pests.
1t was because of the earlier pro-
tests of fishermen against conserva-
ton laws that our fish have been re-
1uced almost to the point of extinc-
tion, and now there are so few food |
ish that these same fishermen are
driven out of the business. Not only
have the fishermen resisted all
checks against catching fish but
hey have been deaf to warnings
-gainst wasting them.
A few years rest from cunning
md fishing will work no real hard
hip. If these insistont huntsmen
Ould be restrained from hunting for
few years we would suffer less
rom the loss of insectivOrous birds
nd the game would multiply until
unning would be worth while.
AS The Star declared last week the
Telfare Of the entire community
hould not be lost sight of-in the
rotests Of the few who seem to
link they have an inherent right

EARLY TOMATOES WILL MAKE
Big PROFITS FOR STATE GROWERS
Five Hundred Acres In First Varieties Ready For Market In Two
WeekPces Expected To Be Strong Ranging From 30 To 40
Cents Basket-OuOOk Most Encouraging.

Unless some unforeseen and unex-
pected weather disturbance inter-
feres between now and September l,
Delaware ought to have the best
season for tomatoes this summer it
has had in a long time. Representa-
tives of Gamers, farm agents and
other officials interested in agricul-
ture who have been going about
Kent county the past week, which
county leads the State in the num-
Der of baskets produced, say that
there is every prospect of bumper
crop.
One of the items that will help the
Kent county tomato growers this
year is the fact that there are at
least 500 acres of early tomatoes in
| the patches, which is a new venture
this season. In other years there has
been but one season for tomatoes,
that being the regular or main one
coming along in August. But for two
or three years the Gamers have
been urging tomato growers to ex-
tend their tomato season by plant
ing early varieties, and this year the
Kent farmers have done so.
They have been aided in the ven
ture by climatic conditions sur
rounding Delaware. New Jersey far
mers who in the past few years have |
been reaping splendid harvests from
early tomatoes, suffered serious set
backs this spring by having their
early plants frosted or burned up by
the heat and this caused double and
even third paintings so that they
are in no condition to reap any har-
vest from the early varieties. So
that Delaware early tomatoes will
stand an equal chance of gaining a
good market.
Tomatoes will be a week or ten
days earlier this year anyway be-
cause of the moderate spring. Some
Delaware tomatoes will be in the
market this week but the big bulk of
the early varieties will come to har-
vest about August 1. AS the vines
look now, they will have a splendid
yield. Rains of the past week have
done much good and the tomatoes
are sizing up nicely.
Main Crop in August
About the middle of August the
main crop of tomatoes will be COM
ing on and from then on until the
middle of September there will be
Delaware tomatoes. This means an
extension of the harvest of about
two weeks.
Regarding prices, the growers
seem to have a good chance this
year of obtaining a satisfactory re-
turn for their labor. Some Gamers t
nave contracted for the tomatoes at /
30 and some at 35 cents a basket,
)ut there is a chance that even high {
er prices may be realized by some. l
The representatives of large Gamer
es outside the State said last week
hat the price they would pay for g
omatoes would range from 80 to 40 t
cents a basket with the likelihood t
