FARMERS DAY AT NEWARK
Will Be Held at University Farm Un-
iversity of Delaware Next Tuesday
Program of Interest Arranged

Dean C. A. McCue announces that
DR.. A. G. Mccall of the University of
Maryland and Congressman R. G.
Houston have been secured as speak
ers at Farmers Day to be held on the
University farm, at Newark, Tuesday,
August 10th. DIR. Mccall is a scien-
tist of national and international rep
utation whose speciality is crop re
sponses to soil treatments. Dean Nc
Cue feels that he has been extremely
fortunate in securing DR.. Mccall.
Congressman Houston is we'll known
to all Delaware farmers and never
fails to bring an interesting and in
spring message. Farmers Day will,
as in time past, be in the form of a
basket picnic on the spacious lawns of
the University farm. The morning
hours will be given over to inspection
of the various lines of experimental
work going on at the farm. There will
be something of interest for all.
Poultrymen in particular will be in
terested in the poultry plant where an
interesting and important experiment
is being conducted in the use of soy
beans as food for growing chicks and
laying birds. A special meeting of
poultry growers will be held at the
poultry plant at II o'clock standard
time to discuss the feasibility of
forming a Statewide Poultry Asso-
citation which can speak for the poul-
try interests of the State. Mr.. H. S.
Palmer, Extension Poultryman will be
in charge of the meeting. Producers
of pork will also find contracting lots
of hogs fed on soybean rations. In
spite Of unfavorable weather condi-
tions, the plots of corn and soybeans
are looking we'll and should convey
profitable message to the general
farmer. Members Of the Experiment
Station Staff will be on hand to ex-
plain all experimental work. After
luncheon the speaking will take place
from the porch of the Mansion House
beginning promptly at 2 p. m. stand
ard time The 10th of August should
not only be a pleasant outing for
farmers and their families; but should
also give a good opportunity for them
to see what their Experiment Station
is doing to aid them in their many
perplexing problems. Last year
policy was entered into of holding
Farmers Day as a biennial event.
August 10th is the first biennial meet
ing on the new plan.

BIG PROSPECT FOR PEACHES
State Board of Agriculture Submits
Information and SuggestiOns-Del-
aware Peach is Coming Back"


The State Board of Agriculture,
through DR.. J. F. Adams, Plant Path
ologist, and H. T. Derickson, of the
Bureau of Markets, submits the fol-
lowing information and suggestions in
regard to Delaware peaches: The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, as of July 1st, estimates the to-
tai peach production in the United
States for 1926 at 81 1,680,000 bushels,
against 46,565,0 bushels for 1925.
In a recent survey made by the De-
partment Of Agriculture, covering 43,-
100000 peach trees, nearly one-half of
them were less than 6 years of age,
and about one-third less than years
of age. The Elberta is by far the
leading variety in practically all
States. According to this survey, so
per cent of the peach trees in Della
ware are Elberta, % per cent Belle of
Georgia, and about per cent Hale;
the remainder are Garman, Green's
boro, Early Rose, etc. Because of the
prospect for large crop of peaches,
every precaution should be taken to
market fruit that will be free from
blemishes and diseases. The schedule
of recommended sprays and dust, has
provided for the maximum control of
injurious pests and diseases to date,
but because of the heavy rains in July,
Brown Rot has been more common
than usual on early varieties, and may
become disturbing factor in ship
ment of peaches. All orchards should
be inspected for Brown Rot previous
to harvesting. All fruit that is rot
ting or cracking should be picked in
special baskets. Baskets that have
been used for rotted fruit will be. a
source of infection when used for
clean fruit. By keeping the rotted
fruit cleaned up, the source of infec-
tion will be materially reduced, both
for the present and following seasons.
All cracked or crushed fruit should be
removed from the packing shed.
Brown Rot will develop it if remains.
The fruit should be cooled as soon as
possible after it is packed, to retard
the development of any Brown Rot in
fections. The peach is tender fruit,
and every possible precaution should
be taken to avoid injury in the course
of harvesting, grading, and packing.
Padded baskets or canvas picking
bags should be used. Fruit should not
be dropped, thrown, or roughly hand
led in picking, hauling, or packing.
When being hauled, the wagon or
truck should be equipped with can
vas cover to protect the fruit from
sun, rain, or dust. The peaches
should be picked at the right stage of
maturity, and should be hauled from
the orchard to the packing shed as
fast as they are picked. The Bureau
of Markets will provide official ship
ping point inspection on peaches this
year and those who desire this service
should get in touch with the Bureau
promptly. The State Board of Agri-
tulture is ready, willing, and anxious
to assist the peach growers of Della
ware, and will be glad to be of SER
vice whenever possible.

MORE SCHOOLS CLOSED BY
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
RAYMONDS SCHOOL NEAR LEIP-
SIC CLOSED FOR ONE YEAR
Action Decided Upon Because of Poor
Attendance and Expensive Up
Keep in Many Of the Districts

Because of the many delegations
heard at Dover Friday by the State
Board of Education, in regular month
ly session, relative to the closing of
small schools where the attendance
has not been worth the upkeep of such
schools, practically all of the other
business scheduled was deferred until
another meeting of the board. JOS
eph S. Wilson, who was not present
at the first meeting of the board, was
present Friday and took the oath of
office. Consideration and disposal of
the schools throughout the state was
as follows: Kent county, Raymond's
near Leipsic, closed for one year; Oak
Grove, near Milford, continued for one
year; Warren, near FELTON,, left in
hands of secretary with power to act;
Shorts, near Hartly, continued for one
year; Cedar Grove, near Magnolia,
closed, matter of where pupils go left
until next meeting; Leipsic, one teach
er, low enrolment; Carlisle, (colored,
near Dover, closed, children to be
transported to Dover. State College
Colored School, (practical schooD
closed on account Of low enrolment.
This school has been maintained at
the State College for colored students
who desired to take up the teacher
training work, the State Board of Ed
ucatiOn furnishing the teacher for this
practical school, but because of the
low enrolment it was deemed best to
close this school, allowing the pupils
who did attend to be distributed to
the colored schools in the vicinity of
Dover, some going to Dover, others
to Cheswold and others to Fork
Branch. It has nothing whatever to
do with the State College. New Cas-
tie county, Harmony school, action de-
ferred; Howell's continued; Oak Hall,
near Townsend, 2 teachers, continued;
Patterson's, near Townsend, continued
for another year; State Road, continu~
ed for another year; Summit Bridge,

CAMPAIGN FOR CLEAN STREETS
Smyrna Town Council to Give Closer
Attention to this Department of Town

Smyrna Town Council at its recent
meeting decided to give closer atten-
tion to having cleaner streets. The
brick and macadam streets over town
will be even done more Systematically
and dirt streets will be scraped and
grass and weeds removed from gut
ters. Along with this movement prop
erty owners and tenants are asked to
cooperate by having their yards, gar
dens and premises cleared of high
grass and weeds. Council appreciates
the fact that no one thing contributes
more to the beauty and cleanliness of
town than clean streets and attrac-
tive property surroundings. Council
has only jurisdiction over the streets
and cutters. Properties come under
the notice of owners and tenants.
With both cooperating for a Smyrna
beautiful, much can be ACCOMPLISHED.
Tourists notice a clean looking town,
one of the first things and by keeping
lawns and gardens free of weeds and
rubbish and clean streets, members of
Council feel it will be an effort worth
while.

friends feel he is well qualified to rep
resent Duck Creek Hundred in the
Delaware Legislature. Hervey p.
Hall is so far unopposed for the State
Senate from this district. w. A.

Sheriff of Kent County and since
Smyrna and Duck Creek Hundred has
not had a Sheriff in many years, Mr..

couraging. Over in Kenton Hundred

KENT COUNTY HAS NOT ENOUGH
FUNDS To BUILD MORE ROADS
POOR PROSPECT FOR ROAD FROM
WENDELL'S CORNER TO BEACH
Already There is Not Enough Funds
To Complete Observation-Disclosures
and Magnolia Canterbury Roads

The recent sale Of 100000 worth
of county bonds will not net sufficient
funds to meet all of the bills for inn
proved roads in Kent county incurred
this year. With the sale of these
bonds the county has issued all of the
bonds authorized at the present time.
Just how much the shortage will
amount to is unknown at this time but
it is estimated at sum between fif-
teen and twenty thousand dollars. The
shortage, which will occur on the con-
tract for the road from Magnolia to
Canterbury, will probably be paid by
the State Highway Department as
that department has signifed its will
ingness to make good the deficit.
With this state road finances facing
the Levy Court it is almost certain
that the proposed road from Wendell's
Corner to Woodland Beach in Sever
sons Neck, and the Wyoming to the
county almshouse road will not be
constructed this year and it is quite
possible that the construction of such
roads may be used at the next session
of the Legislature as an argument in
favor of Kent county issuing more
bonds for the construction of improv-
ed roads or the counties turning over
the building and up-keep Of its entire
system of roads to the State High
way Department. In recent letter
to the Levy Court, the State Highway
Department stated that from their
records the county's balance appeared
to be $12,500 short of the amount re
quired for the Magnolia and Canter-
bury road. The letter further point
ed out that "If it is possible. the State
can make up the difference in your
share of the cost of this contract" :"
At the start of this year the county
had available slightly more than one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
for improved road construction under
the State aid plan. There have been
a total of 9:61 miles completed or
contracted for at construction cost
of S259, ,346.60 of which the county's
share will total $129,673.30. These
figures do not include the engineering
expense or the cost of right of way
which in some of the roads will total
a large amount. In addition to the
State aid work in the county, the
State Highway Department is CON
structing out of their own funds three
miles Of Stag road along the road
leading from Dover to Kits Ham
mock and 1.3 miles extension on the
Stag portion of the White Oak road.
These two contracts represent a con
struction cost of S38,652.50. Although
the Observation-Disclosures road has
been listed and advertised several
times, it has not been built and it ap-
pears now that it will not be built un-
less the next Legislature permits Kent
county to issue more bonds of the
State Highway Department decides to
make it State project as was done
in the case of the kits Hammock
road and the White Oak road, in
which event it would be constructed
of Stag.
