FARMERS MOTOR TO NEWARK
TO INSPECT UNIVERSITY FARM
SPEND A PROFITABLE DAY AND
ENJOY A PICNIC ON THE LAWN
Much Interest Taken in the Poultry
Plant and Active Steps Taken to
Form a Statewide AssOci alton

Nearly 500 persons, including
number from the Smyrna-Clayton vi
entities, attended the annual Farmers
Day Celebration at the University of
Delaware experiment farm yesterday.
The party was not so large as on some
previous occasions but it is felt that
the day was a success and that much
was learned. Most Of the party took
their lunch and held gigantic picnic
at the same place One of the most
important things during the day was
the discussion of the formation of
state wide poultry association for the
purpose of aiding the poultry busi-
ness. Committees were appointed to
arrange for two day tour of large
poultry plants in the state beginning
sometime about October 20. This
tour will begin at Dover and end at
Milford. At Milford, after the tour
is complete, there will be a meeting
at which those present will discuss
the poultry business and state wide
association will be formed. The meet
ing was under the direction of H. S.
Palmer, who is connected with the
University and who has done splendid
work for the poultry raisers in Della
ware. The poultry meeting was one
of the largest attended of the day but
a large number of the visitors also
visited the live stock department while
others looked over the orchards and
fields. In the afternoon there were
speeches by Congressman Robert G.
Houston of Georgetown and DR.. A.
G. Mccall, soil specialist of the Uni
versity of Maryland. Congressman
Houston spoke of the efforts of CON
gress to aid the farmer. DR.. Mccall
told of number Of experiments made
with soil in Maryland and how this
work could be applied to the soil in
Delaware under similar conditions.
This was the last Farmers Day at
the University until 1928 and here
after they will be held but every two
years instead of every year as for the
past twenty years or more.

CHESTER-D DARBY PIKE OPENING
Will Be Celebrated Tomorrow With a
Parade-Road Welcomed By Motorists

A parade on Chester pike from Dar-
BY to the city line Of Chester, in cele-
bration Of the complete opening Of the
pike, tomorrow, Thursday afternoon,
August IL, is the plan laid out by the
burgesses of Chester pike with coun-
ty, state and Keystone Automobile
Club officials. At the end of the pike,
probably in front of the old Leiper es-
tate in Eddystone, Governor Pinchot,
former Governor William G. Sproul.
Mayors Kendrick, of Philadelphia and
Turner of Chester, will deliver adj
dresses. These were the high spots
of the plans brought forward by the
sixteen representatives of boroughs
and organizations interested in the
affair. J. Borton Weeks, president of
the Keystone Automobile Club, called
the meeting. The parade will meet
at 2.30 p. m. in Darby and the speak
ers will begin at 4.30. There was
some discussion on the time of the
parade. Several Of those present sug-
gested the morning, inasmuch as a
heat spell on the day was possible.
1t was afterwards decided the evening
would be better because many more
people would be able to attend the
celebration.

NEW ROAD INTO WILMINGTON
Cut-Off, When Completed, Will Lead
Over the Third Street Bridge

Work on the cutoff just below Will
mington from Rogers Corner on the
State Highway, which is just a few
hundred yards below what is known
as Longhook Country Club, to Heald
street, started last week. All Of the
grading has been completed and the
road, mile in length, is about ready
to be concreted. Unless stormy wealth
er interferes it should be finished be-
fore the end Of this month. Heald
street comes into East Wilmington
near the Third street bridge and dur
ing periods and days of heavy travel
down the State from Wilmington, this
cutoff will be of immense value in
expediting traffic. When the new
Market street bridge across the Chris
tiana is ready to be placed and the
bridge is closed for a few days, the
use of this cutoff will enable those
coming down the State or going into
Wilmington from lower Delaware TO
travel without interruption. The rainy
weather of July knocked out about a
week of the progress made in excess
of the road-building program for this
year. Up to July 1, the road-build-
ing program was one month ahead of
schedule.

tally, was more or less lively by the
above two candidates wanting to get
their friends qualified to vote. Those
who are not registered by the next
setting of the Registration Board, will
not have vote in the coming primar-
les and Messrs. Bell and Jones are
anxious for a full democratic vote
when the Democratic Primaries are
held. On Saturday in the First Rep
resentative district, which includes
Smyrna and vicinity, 158 registered
in the First election district of the
representative district and $50 in the
Second. In the Second Representa-
tive district IA registered in the dis
trict about Leipsic, and 204 in the Do
yer end of the district. In the Third
Representative district only 27 regis
tered in the district, including Clay

trict at Kenton. In the Fourth Rep
resentative district, which includes
West Dover, $50 registered. In the
Seventh Representative district "A

SUMMIT BRIDGE SPAN OPENED
Likely to be Accepted Saturday After
the Inspection by Government Officials

thC AhSPNNtASh " OAANA1AS
The new bridge at Summit Bridge
across the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal, the third of a series of four
being constructed by the government
to replace old spans over the water
way, has been opened for public traf-
fic several days, according TO news
items appearing in Wilmington papers
The contract, however, has not been
turned over to the government and
probably will be accepted not before
Saturday, it was learned. The accept
ance will follow an inspection of the
bridge by Colonel Earl l. Brown, Z. S.
district engineer, with headquarters
at Sixth and King streets. and sew
eral other officials The construction
was made at high point above the
canal, making its distance above low
water 72 feet, with normal lift OF
6S feet necessary to allow clearance
The height of the towers above the
top Of the piers is about 116 feet, in
comparison with the height of the
Chesapeake City bridge towers, which
are 1S6 feet. 1t is located about 10
feet from the old bridge, which was
being used pending the completion Of
the new structure. 1t consists of a

SOME CANNERIES START WORK
Farmers Packers Generally Speaking
Facing Uncertain Season Regard
ing TomatOes-Meeting at EastOn

tOcdSUH
ing TomatOes-Meeting at EastOn
While the ]. H. Hoffecker cannery
will probably not start before Sep
tember first, a number of canneries on
Eastern Shore and lower Delaware
will begin operations this week, with
indications pointing to rather uncer-
tain season so far as profits are con
cerned from the standpoint of both
grower and packer. According to in
formation furnished by a representa-
tive of one Of the largest packing
houses in the United States, which an
nually has contracted for thousands
of acres Of tomatoes on the Delmar-
via Peninsula, this years tillage
scarcely amounts to fifty per cent of
last seasons acreage and crops now
growing will be greatly shortened be-
cause of poor stand of the plants
and the ravages of the blight, which
in numerous instances throughout the
country have ruined entire tillages
The contract price over on the Shore
during the late winter months, was
from 22l2 to 25 cents a basket, but
recently number of offers as high
as 30 and 50 cents have been made,
all of which have been rejected, the
growers preferring to take chances IN
the open market A get-together
meeting of the Tri-State Packers As
sociation's tomato section, was held a.
Easton, Md, Friday afternoon in the
New Theatre, Nelson H. Fooks pre-
siding. Railroads operating in Tri-
State territory have extended the stor-
age in transit privilege for another
year, beginning August I, 1926, and
the association expressed thanks
through a resolution for this courtesy.
The committee on resolutions consist
ed of Hall Wrightson, of Easton, and
H. P. Hall, of Smyrna, Delaware. Mr..
Yohe, in his talk on the warehousing
plan, stressed the Importance Of def
mite standards for grading canned
goods. The executive committee Of
fered prize of 500 for the best
method of grading and packing stand
ard tomatoes, the samples 70 be sub
mitted from not less than carload
packed according to the method. The
prize will be awarded ar the close Of
the present canning season. w. E.
Lewis, of the Bureau of Agriculture
Economics, Washington, explained the
method of grading tomatoes under
Federal plan. Richard Phillips, Of
Berlin, chairman of the committee
named to investigate the importation
of tomatoes, reported he had a confer
ence with the Federal Tariff Commits
sion and that the commission has
promised to investigate the matter.
the trouble is that Italy has been i'm
porting thousands of cases of toma-
toes into this country, most OF them
landing on the Atlantic Coast and
competing with the pack of the East.
Labor and other conditions abroad are
hard to compete with when labor here
gets 300 per cent. more IN wages. The
packers have been fighting importa-
ton for the last year. The remedy
sought is to have the tariff increased
on tomatoes. A report on tomato
acreage and crop prospects showed a
forty per cent. cut in tomato acreage
has been made this year with an eigh-
ty per cent. prospect of yield. The
next meeting was called for August
"a at Ridgely, where a field demon
stration will be given.

SHORE COMPANY RIGHT OF WAY
Kent County Levy Court Grants East
ern Shore Co. Franchise for Line

ern Shore Co. Franchise for Line
At the weekly session of the Kent
County Levy Court, J. Hall Anderson,
attorney, representing the Eastern
Shore Electric Company, asked for the
right of franchise over the county
roads for the running of line to
Smyrna, from Wyoming, via Ches-
void, the route taking the road in the
western part of the county and in no
way connecting with any of Dover's
electric lines. The franchise was
granted. Mr.. w. I. Boileau of the
company appeared with Mr.. Anderson
before the Levy Court. The next day
Mr.. Boileau visited Smyrna and was
greeted by a number who had met
him. He says his company is having
much trouble getting material but is
hoping to have the electric line eX-
tended to Smyrna within the time
limit which is December l. In the
meantime Smyrna Town Council hopes
to get the whole pole line in town re-
newed with new wire and transform
ers. Already some of the new electric
light street standards have arrived
and as soon as CONTRACTOR McCue, rep
resenting the Westinghouse Company,
gets his men on the job, the work will
be pushed to early Fall completion.
With a good tight pole line system
and all "leaks" taken care of and with
more and higher powered street lights
Smyrna should take on at nights a
difference appearance for it is a
known fact that at present it is one
of the poorest lighted towns of any in
the state,
