DELAWARE CROPS In
SPLENDID CONDITION

truck or wagon would first ask if the
apples had been inspected. If the
answer was in the affirmative, the
farmer profited anywhere from 25 to
40 cents more a bushel.
Grapes are coming along good.
From reports of many vineyards the
crop this year will be larger than
that of 1925. The vines are strong
and healthy and, owing to the scien-
tific methods used in spraying, the
fruit looks splendid. Up until two
years ago, Philadelphia practically
took the entire crop of Delaware
grapes, but in 1924 and 1925 the
growers in seeking a better market
discovered profitable consignees in
Boston and Pittsburgh and some of
the other cities on the way west and
north.
The rain of the past ten days has
been a wonderful help to the toma-
to crop. Just now the vines look
very healthy and stocky. While the
acreage it is expected will be a bit
less than last year, there will still
be plenty of tomatoes for the can
neries and for shipment. The only
drawback at this time is that prices
are off. Tomatoes from Virginia
which went forward through Della
ware last week in large quantities,
didn't bring the fancy prices of a
year ago. In lower Delaware tomato
canneries are offering $12 to SIS a
ton.
Both sweet and field corn is look
ing great Already some. sweet corn
is being marketed. In the case of
field corn, the cereal got a late
start because of the cold spring, but
in the past two weeks has grown
very rapidly and at this time looks
splendid.
Lima beans are also in fine con-
dition. In many patches down State
the vines are in blossom and should
be producing revenue within three
weeks.
The string bean crop, which is ov-
er, was a good one and the prices
obtained generally satisfactory.

grow in size, they are letting them
stay on the trees until next week,
with the feeling that prices will not
be any lower and there is chance
that they may be higher. Of course,
where the apples are ripe, it is nee
essary to harvest them at once, and
this is being done, generally, by the
growers, even though the profit is
very small and in some cases the
price received will hardly cover the
cost of picking, packing, and trans
portation.
The Williams Early Red, which is
the first red apple from Delaware to
be shipped in any quantity, will be-
gin to move the latter part of this
week, and the first of next week
should see a heavy movement of this
variety. There has been considerable
inquiry from all parts of the country
for red apples, and there is a feel
ing both among the local buyers and
the dealers in the receiving centers
that the red apples will sell cOnsid-
erably better than the green variety.
A few Williams Early Red are now
being shipped, and are selling az
prices ranging from $125 to S1.5O,
+. o. b. shipping point, with the feeA-
ing that as soon as the green variety
of apples are cleaned up that the
price of the Williams Early Red may
advance.
Early Transparents, which are the
first apples shipped from Delaware,
started in at a price of $500 to $2.25
per bushel, f. o. b. shipping point.
This was held for two or three days,
and the price then ranged around
$3.50 to $1.75. Since that time, due
to lack of demand, the price has fall
len, and the best stock of this Varie-
ty is now ranging "wednesday NOR
ning) from SOC to 75c per bushel,
which is very low. Due to the fact
that there has been no demand,
many apples are being consigned,
and, of course, the net returns from
this consigned stock will be un-
known until the apples are sold.
The Bureau of Markets is in daily
touch with the largest receiving
centers, and while some of them
have held up fairly well, others have
not experienced the expected de-
mand and prices have been very low.
Before the season opened, the Bu-
reau of Markets sent out more than
500 letters to reputable dealers in
various parts of the United States.
This was done in order to interest a

Due to the fact that there is no

apparent that the growers of Will

calls the robe de style.
For evening, dresses of printed
mousseline and of lace are both inn
portant this season. However, the
most unusual evening note to which
specifically direct your attention is
the dalmatique. Our Partisan sum-
mers are not always warm, particular
ly in the evenings, and very often in
the Bots restaurants it is necessary
for the fair diners to don their wraps
in order to avoid a cold. This IS
neither pretty nor practical, because
no further wrap can be added when
they depart by motor, The dalmatique
replaces the coat. 1t has all of its adj
vantages, it is much lighter and it con-
serves the impression of femininity,
which is the principal quality of the
evening mode.
To sum up the entire situation in
a single sentence, concludes Patou, the
new mode is invariably rich, and its
richness is nearly always obtained by
the use of exquisite new materials.

Khaki is really color and not a

given to a familiar army cloth; 1t is
a Hindu word meaning dusty or dirty.
Cloth of this color was first worn by

named because the manufactures, who

White Favored for Evening !;
Avoids Robe de Style;
Lelong Models.


VIII the spring and summer Of 1928
bring as many significant fashion
changes as 1927 That is the inn
portant question of the moment, writes
Jean Patou in the New York Herald
Tribune. If you viii remember, it was
just one year ago that launched my
spring collection and featured the
raised waistline, at the same time
entirely disregarding the low waist,
which had been in vogue for so long
before. Some of my good friends as
sured me that l was f0olish-that the
raised waistline was doomed to fail
ure. Now | see all those same sturdy
defenders of the lowered line slowly
but surely adopting the raised waist
line and declaring with a charming in
genuousness that they had always
been in favor of it. That is the way
of the mode And what is laughed at
today may be tremendous vogue to-
morrow. 1t is always important to
bear this in mind.
A Mode Of Materials.
II the higher waistline was the out
standing development of 1925. what
will be the principal fashion feature
Of 1926? Let me assure you that
there will be no appreciabIe change in
the silhouette. The waistline will re-
main at the top of the hips, where l
placed it last summer, and the outline
In general will not greatly depart from
last seasons smart silhouette. The
most important differentiation between
the new mode and the old Is material
one-the employment of distinctly new
fabrics. In saying new may not sbe
exactly correct, because one of the two
outstanding fabrics of the coming sea-
son does not deserve that description.
/ refer, of course, to taffeta-an an
ously to the scene of former triumphs.
Personally have used taffeta in many
models from the tailored walking suit
to the formal afternoon dress, and
even for coats. However, and this will
astonish you, am sure, entirely dis
regard taffeta for the robe de soir, be-
cause taffeta, when used in evening
dresses leads inevitably to the robe
de style, and / have buried that par
ticular type of dress for many years.
Nor do | favor it now, despite its APP
parent popularity this season. The
second novelty among materials is a
crepe georgette which has almost the
weight of cloth and which may be EN-
ployed in the making Of the tailored
coat and suit. This material is new in
everything but name. 1t differs from
any crepe georgette which has been
used in the past.
The dominant note of my entire col
lection, and one which l believe you
will note generally throughout the new
spring models of other designers as
well, is the duality of tendencies
which prevails. On the one hand there
is the sports influence, which is max
ing itself felt more and more. The
sweater should have a preponderant
place in every morning wardrobe
is quite the vogue for afternoons, and
1t has even commenced to invade the
evening mode. Indeed. even last sea

is the return Of frilly femininity and
a veering away from masculine cos
tunes, achieved principally by using
such materials as mousseiine, lace and
taffeta.
