SUSSEX FARMERS use
CHEAP FISH FERTILIZER
Herring Sell At $1.O0 Per Thousand
At MillSbOrO

Herring as a. steady diet is far
from appealing, but those of meager
purses would do we'll to move quick
ly to Millsboro, where this bony fish
is so plentiful as to sell at $1.00 per
thousand. There have been caught
as many as $4,000 of these fish in a
morning in the Indian River which
flows from Millsboro to the Indian
River Inlet at Oak Orchard. Such
fish as trout, crocus and founder
are of course more desirable and
have therefore thrown large guam
titles of herring on the market, so
that the fishermen are glad to sell
them at almost any price to get rid
of them. AS a result, many farmers
having but little money due to poor
crops last year and finding the price
of phosphate almost prohibitive,
have jumped at the opportunity to
buy so cheap a fertilizer and are US
ing herring for that purpose. After
running long furrow in the ground
they put in the herring, cover it and
let it decay. The herring is dead!-
long live the herring!

EASTERN SUSSEX COWS
GOOD MILK PRODUCERS
Records Kept At Nassau Show That
Dairymen Get Good Milk Yield

Figures compiled by H. W. Bald
erson, secretary of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association, of Phil
adelphia, show some very interesting
facts concerning the dairy business
in the eastern section of Sussex
county.
A cow testing project was con-
Quoted for one year among twenty
four dairymen shipping milk from
the Nassau station showing that five
of the twenty-four herds had an
average milk production of over
1000 pounds per cow. Seven Of the
number had an average of over 800
pounds of butterfat per cow for the
wear. Four of the herds in the asso-
citation had an average butterfat
test of more than five per cent. Only
one herd had an average buttertat
test less than four per cent.
Walter C. Phillips, of Hollyville,
had the highest producing herd in
the association, which averaged 1885
pounds of milk per COW for the year.
Ferris Wilson, of near Lewes, had
the highest producing cow, with a
record of 8740 pounds of milk.
Based on feed cost per 100 pounds
of milk produced, four of the mem
bers received more than $3.50 in re-
turn for every dollar of feed cost,
showing the dairy business in the
eastern section of Sussex county is
a very profitable business.
One of the outstanding features OF
the third annual dairy school, held
at Midway last week, was the an
nouncement that DR.. William P. Orr,
president of the Sussex Trust Com
pany, of Lewes, would offer prizes
this year to the dairymen and farm
ers of the Lewes and Rehoboth sec
tions this year, as follows: Corn,
first, $500; second, $1,000; third
$500.
For alfalfa, first, $500; second,
$1,000; third, $500.
For milk production, first, $1,000;
second, $1,000; third, $500.

LITTLE INTEREST In
SCHOOL ELECTIONS HERE
Only Eight Votes Cast Last Saturday
At MilfOrd-COntests In Kent

Very little interest was manifest
ed in the annual school election held
in Milford last Saturday afternoon.
Only eight voters cast ballots, among
this number being the three mem
bers of the Board of Education, the
superintendent, and two ianitors.
Col. Theo. Townsend was reelected
a member of the Board of Education
for a term of three years. He was
unopposed. There were no contests
in any of the special school districts
in Kent county, but in the rural dis
tricts several fights were had. The
results in Kent county follow:
Special school districts without
opposition as follows: Smyrna, How
ard r. Jones; Dover, H. Clinton
Helm; Caesar Rodney, Benjamin F.
Hartman; Harrington, Mrs. John
Masten; Milford, Col. Theodore
Townsend.
There were seven candidates in a
spirited fight in the Hartly district,
which resulted in the election OF
Anton Vodvarka, who received 30
votes. His closest competitor was
Lewis Schweitzer, with % votes.
At Little Creek there was a con-
test between Samuel Richardson and
Robert Green, the former being
elected, AZ to 38. This election, 1t is
said, may be contested.

MUCH PLEASED WITH
HIS VISIT To DELAWARE
New York Manufacturer Is Pleased
With Trip Here

That Delaware is making good i'm
pressions upon visitors from other
states is evidenced by letter re-
ceived by the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce from the sales man
ager of large knitting mill in New
York. He wrote the letter after re-
turning to his home from a tour
throughout Delaware. He says, "In
the first place, have toured pretty
well all over the East, and as far
south as Virginia, and never have /
run on to such marvellous concrete
roads, with all the modern and up
to-date danger projections in the
way of signs for motoring.
Secondly, have never been in
any section of the country where
the people were so uniformly cour-
teous, hospitable and reasonable in
their charges.
Thirdly, I never saw such won
derful fruit orchards, both as TO
blooms and cultivation. Some Sec
tions of the country have done a lot
of Dragging about their fruit blooms,
etc., and I doubt If the little State
of Delaware is second to any in this
respect. Even stormy weather
couldn't interfere with a motor trip
through the State of Delaware ev-
erything else is so unusually pleas
ing, and I feel pretty certain If peo-
pie who enjoy motoring knew what
awaits them In the way of a motor
trip through Delaware, the roads
would be crowded"

MAN DIES FOUR YEARS
AFTER ACCIDENT INJURY
A. VI Richardson, OF Wilmington,
Was Hurt At Magnolia In Auto

Four years after he received a
broken back in an automobile acci-
dent at Magnolia, Arthur E. Rich
ardson, of Wilmington, died at his
home. Death occurred Monday NOR
ming of this week. Mr.. Richardson
was injured in an accident when the
automobile which he was driving,
turned over. His father, who was
one of the party in the car, was in
stantly killed. Richardson was
brought to the Milford Emergency
Hospital where heroic work on the
part of the physicians and nurses
saved his life. Since 1928, when the
accident occurred, he had been an
invalid. Two years ago he had re-
gained some of his former health
and started a confectionery store in
Wilmington. This he operated up
to the time of his death, waiting on
the customers while seated in a
wheel chair which he was able to
operate himself. Before the accident
in which he received his serious in
jury, Mr.. Richardson was a conduc-
tor on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
He is survived by widow, three
daughters and two sons.

SUMMERS IS "AGGIE"
CHAMPION FOR SUSSEX
Last Years Winner Defeated John
Spicer For County HOnOrs

Before an unusually large gallery
which well represented Sussex coun-
ty, Clayton Summers, aged IA years,
of Bridgeville, holder of the state
marble shooting championship, shot
his way to victory through the pre-
liminary and finals of the Sussex
County Marble Championship last
Saturday. This gives Summers his
place in the finals for the state
championship, which is to be held
under the auspices of The Evening
Journal on May 21.
Summers who holds both state and
county championship since last year,
won his second consecutive right to
the county title by easily defeating
John Spicer, aged 1S years, of the
Laurel school, the runner-up in the
contest. There were seven entrants
in the contest. Summers came near
an upset in the preliminaries when
he met Linwood Savage, age IL
years, of the Kings School, near
Georgetown, but managed to pull
through to victory.
In his match with Spicer, Sum-
mers took the first two out of pos
sible three games. He won the first
game by the score of 8 to 4, and the
second by IL to 2. There were IL
marbles used In the game.

SHERIFF PLANS FOR
SKINNER EXECUTION
Rope Which Will Be Used Has
Arrived From New York-.-Few
Witnesses.

Sheriff William G. Bryan, of Sus-
sex County, has started to work out
the details in connection with the
execution of Carl Skinner, 27-year-
old negro, who on April 26 was con-
victed of criminal assault on Mrs.
Julia A. Bennett, white woman,
aged IS years, near Bridgeville.
Skinner, who is now in the New Cas-
tie County Workhouse, will be hang
ed in the Jail yard at Georgetown on
Friday, May 27.
Sheriff Bryan has received from
the Wall Rope Works, New York
City, the rope with which Skinner is
to be hanged. 1t is a 45-foot manila,
four-ply, coiled rope, being the same
kind with which Harry Butler,
negro, was hanged on February 25,
1926, for criminal assault on IL
year-old Elnora SteinmetZ. The scat
fold will be taken to Georgetown
from the New Castle County Work
house and erected in the brick en-
closure back of the prison walls.
Sheriff Bryan is planning to make
the hanging as private as possible
and will avoid a repetition of the
Butler case when the body was al
lowed to dangle from the rope for
more than two hours while thous-
ands of people passed by to view the
body. AS soon as possible after
Skinner is pronounced dead by the
two attending physicians, the body
will be cut down and prepared for
burial.
So far as can be learned, none of
the relatives have intimated to the
officials that they will be in George
town on the day of the execution to
claim the body. Within the next few
days they will be asked what they
are going to do, and if they are not
going to make plans to claim the
body, Sheriff Bryan is going ahead
with arrangements for the burial.
officers are not anticipating that
as much interest will be taken in the
execution of Skinner as there was in
that of Harry Butler last year. 1t is
rather a singular coincidence that
exactly one month after the crime
the rope with which to execute Skin
ner arrived.

in Wilmington, and since that time
has been interested in the political
work throughout the State. He has
also been interested in other large
business matters. The news of his
election to place of honor in the
banking world is pleasing to his
many Milford friends.

BEAUTIFYING MILFORD
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL GROUNDS
Shrubbery, Grass And Plants viii
Add Much To Appearance

Workmen have been busy for the
past week planting shrubbery, grass
seed and other plants in the large
yard at the rear of the Milford
Emergency Hospital. The section
of ground now being added to the
hospital grounds has never been
beautifed and when the plants now
being set out mature the yards will
be very beautiful in every respect.
Other features of the grounds will
be a pergola about "a feet by 9 feet,
and several seats with oval tops
will be placed along the walks. The
shIubbery plants have been donated
to the hospital by Lester Lovett,
owner of Lovett's Nurseries here.
During the past two years the man
agement of the hospital has made
special efforts to improve the ap-
pearance of the exterior of the hos
pital and the grounds surrounding
it. During this time the nurses
home has been remodeled and made
a thing of beauty, both on the inter-
ior and exterior. Elevators have
been added to the hospital, all of the
exterior wood work has been paint
ed, and all rainspouts and drainage
spouts have been put in the best of
condition. New concrete walks have
been laid, in addition to the work of
giving the lawns a more pleasing
appearance. Since this work started
approximately $4,000 has been
spent in making the institution mod
ern in every respect. New equip
ment in the operating room has ac-
counted for much of the expense in
Cured. To the Ladies Auxiliary of
the hospital goes great portion of
the credit for the splendid condition
of the hospital.
