APPLES READY FOR
MARKET NEXT MONTH
Indications Are That Crop This Year
viii Be Larger Than Last Year

From present indications, apples
will begin to move in carloads from
this State soon after the Fourth of
July; however, many growers and
shippers do not expect to begin
shipping in quantity until the week
of July 8. Considering both early
and late varieties, it is estimated
that the crop will be 10 to II per
cent greater than last year.
Shipments of early apples will
probably not exceed last year, and
many growers feel that they will be
lighter. Size, color, and quality
should be excellent. One thousand
three hundred fifty-five cars of ap-
pies were shipped by rail from
Delaware during 1927, and a 10 per
cent increase indicates a total ship
ment of approximately 1900 cars
this year. The total shipments dur
ing 1926 were over 1000 cars.
All closed packages of apples,
sold or offered for sale in Delaware,
must be marked or branded in let
ters not less than one-half inch in
height with the owners name and
address, the true variety, the mini
mum size or range of sizes and the
grade; also, that the shown surface
must fairly represent the contents
OF the package, the color accepted.
Penalty for not marking or branding
in accordance with this law is a fine
of from $25 to $10O for each offense.

BOND ISSUE FOR THIS
YEARS ROAD PROGRAM
$1,OOO,OOO Ordered For This Years
Plans; Another Million Required

The State Highway Commission
has authorized the issuance of a
bond issue amounting to $1,OOO,0
This is the amount that will be nee
essary to complete the program of
highway construction this year. 1t
will require little more than ST.
100000 for the work planned, part
of which is being contributed by
county levies and part through Fed
eral aid, and the remainder from a
balance left over from last years
highway appropriation.
The causeway at Wilmington is
now open. The detour sign leading
out from Heald street has been re-
moved and traffic both north and
south is being expedited by the COM
pletiOn of the work, but many auto
mobilists who have been used to
making the detour by way of Heald
street, are still doing so in order to
get out of heavy traffic on the main
highway. This will be pleasing to
down-State motorists who travel up
State.
One of the safety contrivances de-
cided upon by the State Highway
Commission is a guard fence on the
at Frederick. This has been
the scene of one bad accident this
year when a car crashed into the
marsh. The commission decided tbat
it would be wise to erect such pro-
lection.

Only A Few Cases To Be Taken Up
At This Term Of Court

The July term of the Kent county

will likely be short one, in view of
the fact that there are very few
cases so far for trial. There will be
no civil cases heard, as the July
term is for criminal and divorce
cases alone.
The work for the Superior Court
is very light, there being but two III
vorce cases scheduled for hearing,
including those of Henry E. Mag
from Wilhelmina K. Mag, this case
being continued from the April term,
and the case of Mildred E. Loder
from Daniel G. Loder.
