DEVELOPMENT AT BETTERTON
Fine Farms Bought and Added to Re-
sort-MilIion Dollar Hotel Planned

With the projected erection of ST.,
100000 hotel on the Chesapeake bay
front at Betterton, Md; the creation
of large golf links and other recre-
ational facilities appealing to resort
guests and, farther down the shore,
the development of summer colony
and an elaborate yachting club and
rendezvous, this Kent county resort, it
is expected, will shortly blossom into
one Of the most attractive places on
the Eastern Shore. Philadelphia in
terests are backing the development
projects in each case and five large
farms are now being turned into
building lots by the Chesapeake De
velopment Company of Philadelphia.
They were recently bought at a total
price of 100000 The 200-acre farm
owned by Mrs. Sarah c. Crew and ten
anted by Harry Meeks sold for $20,
600; two farms of 287 and 1877 acres,
owned by John H. O. Stokes, sold for
$42, 800; DR.. j. Horton Kelley's farm
went for $17,500. 1t is tennanted by
John Skeggs and is a 349 acre place.
And Henry K. Miller's 167 acre farm
sold for $4,000. All the farms are
located between Still Pond Creek and
the bay and the place is known as
yachtsmen's paradise" because Of the
splendid harbor and landing places
afforded by the natural shoreline.
With the completion of the entire de-
veIopment and the erection of the
hotel by other Philadelphia interests
it is thought likely bus line and
other transportation facilities will be
arranged between that place and Will
mington. Special boats will also be
run from Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Havre de Grace for the benefit of the
excursionists and dwellers in the sub
urban colony.

The tomato fields are laden,

summer. The tomato fields are laden,
and growers in many sections are CIV
ing employment to many men and
women in order to get them picked.
Some pickers, in the early spring,
contracted with growers to plant them
the price agreed upon being twenty
five cents per basket. The yield IS so
heavy, it is stated, throughout Sussex
County that the canneries have about
all they can do to take care of the
growers with whom they have con-
tracted. In addition, some of the fac
tories have stock left from last year
and they did not intend to put up as
large packs this season as in some
former years. The result of the un-
expected yield is causing the bottom
to drop out of the market, and yes
terday they could be bought for twelve
cents per basket on the open market.

Nearly all the roads in America
are very good. The Lincoln High

Jefferson Highway and all the roads
built by the great Americans are
excellent. But some blooming
Frenchman by the name of DeTour
built a lot of branch roads that are

SAFE DISCRIMINATING

Wear red hat and red coat.
Don't shoot until you see the
horns on the buck deer.
Never aim at moving brush.
1t may be fellow hunter.
Handle your gun with care
and common sense. Keep the
muzzle at all times pointed
away from yourself and other
hunters.
Always remove the shells from
the gun when not hunting.
Use of intoxicants while hunt
ing is contrary to the law both
of the state and of good sports
manship.
Show your hunting license
Immediately to warden or any
other person asking to see it.
