WESTERN CHICKS ARE
SHIPPED TO DELAWARE
[Continued from first pagel

4BesENsSe~N~N
States. Department of Agriculture,
suggested a compromise in the mat
ter of poultry standards which ap-
parently favored the middle-west
poultry men. Officials of the Bur-
eau of Animal Industry made it
clear, that the bureau was neutral
but wanted to establish regulations
favored by the majority of hatchery
men.
Those seeking the best stock and
strictest standards are the North
Atlantic and Eastern States, the
Southern States and two North
western Commonwealths. The Mid
dlewestern hatcherymen's Organiza-
ton represents the large States of
the Middlewest and the Southwest
ern States.
According to DR.. Hare, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut and sew
eral New England States have,
from ten to fifteen years been en-
forcing rigid standards in the rails
ing of poultry. The high quality
of the f1ocks has resulted in at
tracing the entire east and south.
It was brought out at the Wash
ington Conference that the middle
western chicks are sold on their
economy and not for the clarity of
the eggs and high standard of the
chickens. 1t was also developed
that the middle-western poultrymen
claimed that their flocks are both
accredited and standardized. In this
they are speaking truthfully but
not accurately, according to the in
of these words as I'M
derstood by the eastern states.

ALL In READINESS FOR
BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
Floats VIII Feature Historical And
Educational Events

The final meeting of the executive
committe for the Delaware Apple
BLOSSOM Festival was held at Dover
Thursday of last week, at when
time detailed reports were made by
the chairmen of the various COM
mittees. Everything points to the
fact that all is in readiness and that
a very representative participation
throughout the State will be made
for the parade and pageant.
The parade will consist of various
groups of school children from com
munities of Smyrna, Dover and
Camden-WyOming. These groups
will characterize various stages IN
the development of fruit trees, such
as buds, blossoms, as well as some
of the pests Of which the orcharo-
lists have to contend.
The number Of floats participating
in the parade will be approximately
forty and for the most part, will tea-
ture historical and educational
events of significance to Delaware.
In addition, several communities are
entering floral floats.
Mayor WoOdford Of Dover is ex-
tending his cooperation in making
arrangements for the Dover police
assisted by the firemen, to facilitate
the movement of the parade, as well
as the pageant. Mr.. Buck will have
a large force of the State Highway
Police that will greatly facilitate the
guiding of traffic, and its regulation
during the parade. Mr.. McWilliams,
who is in charge of the parade, is
rapidly shaping plans, so that there
should be no interference in getting
under way on scheduled time.
Weather conditions continue to
hold the growth of apple trees, so
that it is probable the Blossom Fes- |
tival will be scheduled sometime
during the first week of May. Even
with the sudden change to warm
weather, there is no likelihood of it
occurring this month. While GER
tain varieties of apple trees will be
in bloom this week, the most con- +
spicuous varieties will not be more
than in the pink stage and ready for
bloom the following week.

killing of blossom buds is common
with all varieties. 1t is impossible
to estimate even in Kent county the
percentage of killed buds with any

any such extent that blossoming

ARREST HOODLUMS
Action BY Danielson Police
Might Be Emulated In

In Danieison recently the police
rounded up number Of young hood.

trying to sleep. II is believed that II

Complaints have been heard in this

shouting and make so much noise that
they awaken the neighborhoods
through which they pass.
In the business section, and on Main
street where there are dwellings, 1t is
reported that young men walk along
or stop on the corners, sing, talk loud
and indecently, and make general nui-
sances Of themselves. In one case a
