COURT APPROVED ROAD CEDAR
TO SLAUGHTER BEACH

The petition presented for locat-
ing, or rather relocating, the road
across the beach from Cedar Beach
to Slaughter Beach, was approved
by the Court at Georgetown last
week The plan is for building the
road along the dredged' blind canal
made by the U. S. Government dur
ing the war, to get sand for en-
banking Fort Salisbury, near &C.
dar Beach, and using part of the
dirt excavated then to grade up the
roadway, west of the waterway.
Charles Reed and other farmers of
Cedar Neck, want the road built, as
it will give access to the summer
cottage colony, as well as access to
trade from Cedar Neck. There has
been opposition from other farm
ers who see the results as detri-
mental to them and the public.
However, before any further pro-
gress can be made, the Sussex Levy
Court will have to also take action
by directing that the road be built,
and provide for payment of cost
for the work.

BOSTON BOOK BARGAINS

Charles w. Kespert, our first
North Milford letter carrier, has
been a book collector for years. He
does this as a spare time hobby. He
finds choice, desirable, used books
in many regular and in some out-of-
the-way places. He thinks Boston
eXcels as a market for good second
hand literature of every sort. At
first, he hunted books just for him
self, but it was not long before
friends and acquaintance had him
finding books for them. He thinks
the people of the Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula might like the same sort of
book service his Boston acquaint-
ances find worth while. If you need
a book, or want to know about one,
he will be pleased to hear from you.
His address may be found in the
classified columns. 1t

DEMONSTRATIONS FOR
TOMATO GROWERS
rContinred from frst taael

Smith Orchard Company, near Ches-
void, A. c. Darrah, west of Clayton
r. L. Lloyd, near Kenton, and II. q.
Meredith, west of Wyoming, the DEM
constructions will include a comparison
in yield of the Marglobe and Greater
Baltimore varieties of tomatoes, when
will be grown from seed furnished Tree
of charge by the Campbell Soup Com
pany.
Each farmer will be requested to use
1000 pounds of a 2-8-10 commercial fer
tilizer, or its equivalent in plant 1000
value. per acre on his Unconstitutional
plot. Each co-operator also will be pro-
vided with a small note book in which
to keep accurate records of the yield
from each variety and any other data
that may be of value in connection
with this particular project. AS an ad-
ditional feature of the demonstration on
the TruaX farm. however, one-haH OF
the area to be set with each variety of
tomatoes will be fortified with 600
pounds of a 2-S-10 mixture per acre,
and the other half will receive this
same analysis at the rate of 1000
pounds to the acre in addition to
heavy application of manure which will
also be used in connection with the fer
tilization program for each OF the other
eight farms in the county.
The possibility of securing increased
yields per acre by setting out the plants
early in the spring in the field was
clearly demonstrated in New Jersey
last year when a survey was made OF
the acreage of tomatoes set out at diff
ferent times during the season. This
survey included the Benny Best, Mar
globe and Greater Baltimore varieties,
and it was found that SO acres set be-
tween May 1 and May Is produced on
the average 10.S tons per acre, while
1872 acres set between May Is and May
80 gave an average yield of 1873 tons
to the acre. As a direct comparison to
these results, $40 acres were set be-
tween the dates of June l and June 10
with a yield of only tons Of tomatoes
per acre. A still greater reduction in
yield was noted in the 120 acres which
were set between June 10 and June
90 as the plants set out at this time
produced but 4.6 tons to the acre. and
those set out after June 20 yielded AS
tons, indicating that the late setting is
not profitable even though proper Gull
tural practices are followed.
In this economic production program
no attempt is being made to expand the
present tomato acreage, but an effort
is being put forth to increase the yield
per acre and thereby secure for the
farmers a greater profit and better
markets for their crop.
