DELAWARE'S NEW APPLE CROP
A GLUT ON MARKET LAST WEEK
GROWERS FEAR BIG LOSS UN-
LESS MARKET is CONTROLLED
Carloads of Licious Fruit Are Held on
Railroad Sidings at BridgeviIle
and Buyers Refuse to Buy

Delaware apple growers will lose
considerable money on their apple
crops unless future developments in
the apple market are such that they
can unload the large supplies they
now have on hand. Reports from the
lower part Of the state, particularly
in the vicinity Of BridgevilIe, Sussex
county, indicate the market has been
glutted by the immense yield this
year. Many carloads are being held
on railroad sidings, with buyers wir-
ing the growers to stop shipping.
Information from the Pittsburgh
market one day last week, showed
that more than 60 carloads were lying
there undistributed. Philadelphia and
New York markets, while not SO over
laden, report excesses and will not
take any more. It is the hope of low
er Delaware growers, however, that
the larger markets will be able to get
rid Of what they have to smaller cities
in the East and, perhaps, send some
Of the apples to the West.
The early varities, it seems, are not
grown in many places. These apples
can be used for cooking and eating
purposes, but a good many Of the va
rieties are cooking. apples. Hereto
fore the crop raised in this State has
not been So large, but through the ef-
forts Of the Agricultural Experiment
Station at the University of Delaware
since Dean Charles "A. McCue took
charge about seven years ago, Della
ware has rapidly been forging ahead
in the apple industry until, now, for
the size Of the State, Delaware is
about as high as any other vicinity
in this particular agricultural endeav-
or.
George H. Hill, Federal prohibition
agent, an apple fancier, stated in dis
cussing the situation, that the recent
storms have hurt tree growers, in as
much as the wind has blown much of
the fruit to the ground when it was
nearly ripe.
Following the storm Of over a week
ago, in one orchard Of about 200
trees, a grower picked from the
ground nearly 200 bushels of apples.
The early variety, Mr.Hill said, ripens
very quickly, once it begins. He
pointed out, in this connection, that in
the same orchard where 200 bushels
were picked up, it was his opinion if
another heavy storm came, no less
than eight times as many would be
found lying on the ground. This fea-
ture, he said, is hurting the farmer at
this time, in view Of the market con-
ditions.
Mr.. Hill, who has just returned
from a visit to Sussex County, also
stated the potato market for the Del
aware crop is very poor. A few
weeks ago, Mr.. Hill, pointed out, po-
tatoes could be sold with little difficult
ty. Today, he declared, when the dig
ging is well under way and there are
plenty Of potatoes, the farmers have
received word to withhold their ship
ments, or sell them at a figure which
will result in a loss, in view Of the
high costs Of seeds and fertilizer this
year.
Smyrna times., 1926-07-28

principal causes for last years losses
are the reduction in the tariff on i'm
ported goods, overproduction in this
country, and the lack of organization,
which created an unstable and un-
profitable market among Maryland
packers.

FRENCH DEPUTIES SPLIT

Many Fear Exposure Of Their Po-
litical Faults If Voters

Hear Truth.
By ths Associated Press.


PARIS, March ia proposal that
all the debates i'll the Chamber of
Deputies be broadcast has aroused
much contention in parliamentary cir.
cles. The plan is favored by all who
would like to have the Chambers dis.
russions shortened by elimination of
unnecessary oratorical flights. 1t is
opposed by many legislators who have
appreciated the protection afforded by
the fact that the stenographic report,
which now forms the official record of
proceedings. may be edited, abridged
and corrected for the editication of
their constituents. The radio would
let the public in on tho battles of
words which often break out. and this,
1t is feared. might bring disfavor on
the participants.
If the radio drew aside this curtain,
the President of the Cha mber would no
longer be able to suppress seditious
1itterances or ifreverent reflections on
he head of the state, which now are
often heard in the Chamber, but which
never appear III the printed debates.

CLEAN SLATE

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1.-THE
prospects for the Phillies this year
were enhanced considerably today
when Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands, baseball commissioner, rein.
stated Albert Nixon, who jumped
the Phillies several years ago.
Nixon came to the Phils in the
trade which sent Cotton Tierney to
Boston in exchange for Ford and
Powell.
The agreement with the Braves
was that Powell, who was suffering
with lame knee, would be re-
turned il in the opinion Of the
Phillies he was unable to give his
best services.
Powell was turned down by the
Phils and In his place they were
awarded Nixon. The latter, after
being with the club about a week,
jumped to an independent team in
the West.
A month or so after his departure
Nixon decided that he was sorry for
his move, but he has been on pro-
baton for one year and Is now
again in the good graces Of organ

He Is a slugger and a fast fielder
