INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL

There are a few people who have
yet to learn that prohibition and the
manufacture of industrial alcohol
are not in conflict. The chemical in
dustry regards industrial alcohol a
basic product next to water in i'm
pOrtance as a solvent. Industrial al
cohol is produced and handled under
Government regulations. The report
of the Commissioner of the Internal
Revenue for the year ending June
80, 1925, indicates that more than
36,000,000 gallons of completely de-
natured alcohol were used for anti
freeze and varnish cutting alone. In
1920 the production of alcohol in the
United States amounted to 90,371,971
taxable gallons. The figures for 1924
showed it had risen to 135,897, ,726
gallons. According to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue the only
alcohol that is now being produced
is for industrial purposes" Every
thing else is illegitimate and in def
ance of the law of the land.
The largest plant in the United
States for the manufacture of indus
trial alcohol has recently been put
in operation on the Delaware River,
at Deepwater Point, New Jersey. 1t
is the most modern unit of its kind
in the country, and it is owned joint
ly by the Kentucky Alcohol Corpor-
alton and the du Pont Company. Ac-
cording the du Pont Company tre-
mendOus quantities of Industrial al
cohOl were used for the manufacture
of military powder during the World
War. Drug stores and physicians de-
pend on alcohol, and at some pre-
scriptiOn counters the clerks tells
you that it constitutes the principal
C h m i al solvent used in
prescriptions. A partial list of the

There are at least nine varieties of
tomatoes grown on the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula. OF this number there are
three main varieties used for can
ming purposes and the remainder are
sold as fresh fruit.

The wealth of Delaware is given
as $625,OO0,OOO. This is equal to ST.
100000 per capita.
80
OF the 5000 square miles that
make up the area of the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula, Delaware contributes
about one-third, Maryland some
thing more than one-half and Virgin
ia about One-tenth.
80
Sussex County, Delaware, and Ac-
comac County, Virginia, head the list
in the output of sweet potatoes on
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. The lat
ter is the foremost sweet potato
county in the United States growing
fully $50 of the nationals total. OF
the total Del-Mar-Va production of
sweet potatoes, Sussex and Accomac
Counties produce four and one-half
million bushels, or more than one
half of the total for the Peninsula,
on some $4,000 acres of land.
80
Truck gardening in Del-Mar-Va is
an important and profitable industry.
Corn, peas, cabbage, onions, lettuce,
asparagus, and tomatoes are grown
in large quantities in the truck gar
dens. Some of these vegetables have
very wide distribution and many
acres of tomatoes in particular are
raised in every county. The greater
part of the tomato crop is sold to
the Gamers that dot the vegetable
growing section. Corn and peas are
also grown largely fer canning, and
when this is the case may be found
fairly well north.
Farmers who desire to supply the
northern markets with early truck
crops have located in the southern
part of the Peninsula because of the
fancy prices which these products
usually bring. The census of 1913
shows that at that time the income
from vegetables including white and
sweet potatoes, amounted to more
than $4O,O0O,00O. Two hundred and
fifty thousand acres were devoted to
vegetable culture, as against 900, 900
used for the production of cereal
crops. Truck raising is therefore an
extremely important item in the ag-
riculture of the Peninsula. Trucking
is taking the place of more staple
crops. There is abundant proof OF
the ability of the Eastern Shore to
produce truck and small fruits of the
finest grade.

mary of the contrasts it had witnessed and
had helped to bring about. When the

its streets were mud holes, vice and graft
were rampant, schools and churches were
few and scarcely building was of more

of small size and practically without
money. Twenty-four years later, as the
edition shows, the newspaper occupies its

already outgrowing, and the city, with a
population of 225 900 inhabitants, has all
theevidenceso of culture and wealthpaved-
streets, parks, good government, abund-

Items of Interest Prepared by

w. Irving Walker, Chestertown,

in the way Of an ocean, bay and can
al cruise on the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula shore line. He suggests that
ocean going steamers, sailing from
Philadelphia to Wilmington, to Del
aware City to Chesapeake City, via
the Government tide water canal, to
Betterton on the Chesapeake Bay;
Love Point on the Chester River; to
Claiborne and st. Nichaels on the
Miles River; to Cambridge on the

WicOmico River; thence to Cape
Vharles, Va. Rounding Cape Charles
an ocean trip of some 130 miles to
land at Lewes, on the Delaware
breakwater; thence a rs mile run
on Delaware Bay, to Wilmington
and returning to Philadelphia. The
entire cruise would cover from 500
to 700 miles.
That truly luscious figs may be
plucked from fig trees on the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore as far north
as Talbot County will probably be
surprising to many residents on the
Peninsula. This however is the case
and is borne out by the fact that
several baskets of the most delicious

During a 20 year period zero wea-
ther was recorded only times at
Cambridge, 9 times at Easton, II
