FRUIT MARKET OUTLOOK GOOD
Prospect For Peaches and Cantaloupes
Appears To Be Very Promising

Based on the seasons experience to
date the market outlook for peaches
and cantaloupes appears very promis-
ing, in the opinion of DR.. F. B. Bonn
berger, Director of the Marketing Bu-
reau, Of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association.
According to the Weekly Market
Review of Fruits and Vegetables re-
leased by the z. S. Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics under date of
August 2, 1927" said DR.. Bomberger,
"the prices received from peaches and
cantaloupes during the week ending
July 30 have been considerably high
er than they were during the CORES
ponding week last year. The follow
ing statement from the Weekly Re
view, together with the table Of prices
in principal city markets, should prove
interesting to growers and shippers"
During the peak movement Of
North Carolina peaches, about July 20
shipping point prices advanced from
So to $2.75 per crate or bushel bas-
ket, averaging S240. Just a year
previous to that time the average was
95 cents. Returns to growers, of
course, were somewhat below the
S2.40 average, but evidently they
made money this season. Trend of
the North Carolina market was ex-
actly like that in Georgia earlier in
July-sharply upward during the peak
movement. Top prices Of 1925 to
$3.50 on Elbertas and Hales were
reached in the Sandhill district by
July 30. The present peach season
has been a good illustration Of the
law Of supply and demand. Eastern
fruit was relatively scarce and prices
have been high. North Cardinals to-
tai will hardly reach 1000 cars, or
500 less than last year. Shipments
from that State dropped to 325 cars
the past week and the season is about
finished.
"New York City received $50 cars
during the week. Georgia Elbertas,
out of storage, were jobbing at $2.25
to $275 per crate; North Carolina Ell
bertas at SO, $3.50, and large fancy
Bellies at 1925, $3.50. The S4 level
was reached in a number of markets
and on one day Boston dealers got
$3.50. Arkansas Elbertas closed high
er at SO, S3.75 in the Middle West.
The Arkansas season is ending with
record of 1000 cars. The New Jer-
sey season is opening with good pros
poets.
prices of cantaloupes advanced n
few cities but declined in others.
The general trend seemed to be some
what lower, at s2.75 to $3.75 per
standard crate on Arizona and Cali
fornia arrivals, while Arkansas stock
declined to a range Of $3.25. North
Carolina Green Meats showed a wide
range Of 81 to $2.25. Early receipts
from Eastern Shore of Maryland
brought $3.50 to $2.75 in Baltimore"

TOMATO PROSPECTS ARE POOR
Season Late, With Poor Stand, Les
sens Chances for Average Yield

From a general survey of the local
conditions of the tomato industry, the
reports from counties on the Eastern
Shore and Delaware, the outlook for
a good season for producers is consid-
cred most favorable. While only a
very few have contracted with the
Gamers in this section for their crop,
it is felt that the open market will
bring in good returns at prices not
lower than the contract price, but a
little higher. In most of the Della
ware counties, Gamers have offered a
price of 25 cents a basket. An agree
ment has been reached between the
tomato growers and the Gamers at
Chestertown, Md, regarding the price
to be paid per basket during the sea
son. which is from 20 to % 1-2 cents,
with the proviso made by number
Of the Gamers that if conditions JUS
tify the price may be raised during
the season. 1t is said that it is this
proviso which has induced many of

HEDGES ALONG PUBLIC ROADS
County Engineer ]. B. Bice Will In
sist That Hedges be Trimmed

County Engineer James B. Bice, Jr.,
is notifying property owners along
public roads that they must keep all
shrubbery and other plants along the
roads trimmed Mr.. Bice has receiv-
ed numerous complaints about the ex-
listing conditions along some roads
where the shrubbery and brush not
only extends out over the road but in
some instances the plants have grown
over into the roadway. The various
road crews have found it difficult to
do work along some of these roads
especially the drainage work. Mr..
Bice has notified a number of land
owners about the conditions surround
ing their farms and in some cases
very little attention has been given to
these notices Under the law Mr..
Bice has the privilege of entering pro-
ceedings against the land owners for
neglect to keep the plants along the
roads in proper condition. The En-
gineer is not anxious to start such
proceedings but will be compelled to
| if the conditions are not changed. The
law covering the trimming of thorn
hedges in Chapter 103 of the Revised
Code and IS as follows: "All thorn
hedges growing along any of the pub
lie roads in this State shall be trim
med at least once every year to a
height of not more than five feet, and
it shall be the duty of the owner, ten
ant or occupant of any land upon
which such thorn hedge is so growing
to so trim such thorn hedge as herein
provided. None of the trimmings
made by so trimming such thorn
hedge shall be allowed to remain on
any of the said public roads longer
than two weeks, but shall be removed
therefrom by the party doing the
trimming aforesaid" The law pro-
vides q penalty upon conviction for
failure to comply with the above reg
ulations of a fine not to exceed fifty
dollars or Imprisonment not to exceed
sixty days.

ersons Neck appeared before the Com
mission asking for an improved road
to Woodland Beach extending from
the concrete road at Windall's Corner
below Rothwell's Landing to the pop
ular bay resort. w. H. Tunis was
spokesman and he and other members
of the delegation set up a strong
argument that in the winter the road
was practically impossible and that
i. was with difficulty that the school
bus could pull through the mud. No
action was taken.
John B. Hutton was the spokesman
for a delegation Of farmers, asking
for a concrete road, Dover to Kits
Hammock, a distance Of some eight
or nine miles. 1t was pointed out
that this road ran through a most val
liable part of the county as well as
being an entrance to Kits Hammock,
a summer resort. About so persons
from Sussex county of which nearly
30 were women, asking for an improv-
ed road from Harmon School to An
COLA toward Millsboro and not far
from Harbeson. Frank M. Jones and
James NJ. Tunnel, attorneys from
Georgetown, presented the claim of
the petitioners. The distance of the
road is about four miles, and if built
it will connect up with the regular
State Highway to Wilmington and
Philadelphia, by way Of Dover. As
surances were given that the petition
would receive due consideration by
the commission. Coulter Messick, Of
Bridgeville, with delegation, appear
ed, asking what, if anything, had been
done toward the East Bridgeville road
for which an application had been
made some weeks ago. The commits
sion gave assurance that the road was
receiving due consideration and would
be taken up within a short time.

COUPLE WE'D 1T BEAUTIFUL
 HOME CEREMONY
INTIMATE FRIENDS PRESENT REV. GRAHAM OFFICIATING
 CLERGYMAN

Last evening at o'clock the first day of spring, Stewards first spring wedding took place, when at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Baugh- man, their daughter Dorothy was
 united in marriage to MT. Roger Henderson Stevenson. The beautiful and impressive marriage ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal church was read by the officiating clergy man, the Rev. Thomas Philip Gra- ham, at the end of which he intro- duced the newly wed couple to the intimate friends of the bride and groom who were present to witness and take part in the happy occasion, as Mir. and Mrs. Stevenson; and wishes for abundant and long years of happiness, and hearty congratula- tions were bestowed upon the happy couple.
 Miss Cecil Leslie was brides maid, and Mr. Clark Andresen acted in the capacity of best man.
 The brides dress was of pale green georgette trimmed with pink flowers of the same material. She carried a beautiful shower bouquet of spring flowers; and was indeed a lovely bride. The friends present could well understood why the bridegroom appeared so exceedingly happy.
 The bride maids gown was of or enid voile embroidered in grey.
 Immediately following the mar riage ceremony a public reception was held, and many other friends arrived to extend to the newly wed couple wishes for happiness, and to shower them with congratulations
 Following the ceremony light re- treatments were served; and the evening was spent in dancing, and social visiting; everyone had happy time.
 Many beautiful and useful presents were received by the happy couple, which of course were greatly appre- ciated, and added to the happiness of the occasion.
 The bride has lived in Seward vir tually all her life, and is one of the most popular young ladies; and her friends are legion. During the sev- eral months MT. Stevenson has made his home in Seward he has made many friends. and has proven him. self to be young man of most ex- cellent character; and to him and his lovely bride, we feel sure, goes the wishes of the people of Seward for a long and prosperous and happy life.
 MT. and Mrs. Stevenson will occupy the Pete Peterson residence across the street from the Federal building where they will shortly be at home to their many friends.

THE SMALL CITY ARRIVES.

According to the municipal experts of various kinds, ,-the era od the small city andstown is arriving. It is now seen that 8 city can actually grow bigger than is good flor. it. and some authorities are claiming that the great metropolis will in time arrive at the stage where itswiH be impossi- ble physically to grow, in extent of territory at least.
 There are perhaps many reasons why the smaller community is coming to it's own. Perhaps the most potent of these is that the smaller commun- ity is no longer what it used to be-is in fact a great deal better.
 The city or town with muddy streets is rarely found in this day of good roads and automobiles. Civic pride has grown in the smaller as.wen, as in the larger cities. Ramshackle buildings are being eliminated every where, sandYthe smaller communities now have fine public buildings, includ- ing adequate schools, s,,uprto-date hos pitals, and so on. They are all coming to have fine parks, too. Out in what was once the broad, open spaces they dress just as we'll, if not better; ride in asgood automobiles, eat better food
