DELAWARE FRUIT SENT ABROAD
Peaches and Apples Carefully Packed
and Labeled go to Foreign Ports

Delaware fruit which is gaining a
reputation in the city markets of this
country, is being shipped abroad.
Peaches are being shipped by train
and truck load from many points. The
Elberta's have seldom been of finer
quality than this year and commanded
good prices, selling as high as $3.50
a bushel basket. The Elbertas and
Belle of Georgia are practically gone.
Director Derrickson states that ship
ments of Grimes Golden, Maiden's
Blush and Stark apples are being
made to foreign ports. While these
apples are still green and not as fully
developed as they will be few weeks
later, shippers claim that they are
large enough for exporting purposes
and hope to reap good returns.

that he was superintendent Of

supervisor Of teacher training in the
absence of Robot Clark, who at
tended the Peabody university for

room school
!. The movement to standardize one
room schools was begun in earnest
by the department in 1922, and
during the four years that have
4 elapsed since then 500 have beer
brought into the fold. The problem
is to bring in the remaining schools
50 that in time West Virginia may
boast Of its complete school system
Such day, however, is far distant
and at present the job is too big fol

\ handle alone. 1t must call on thu
counties and districts, and this
already is being donein many in
stances and state officials are re-
ceiving cooperation everywhere.
In Mr.. Hunts department, there
are two assistants and the duty Of
advancing the one4room standardiza-
ton rests upon them In carrying out
their duties, they travel about thu
state and visit schools in all sections
