Motoring Public Detouring Through
Town Had No Idea Smyrna Was
Such a Place-Pay Compliments

The detour thru Smyrna IS not only
beneftting, somewhat, our merchants
but advertising the town such as it
has never been before. A number of
motorists, especially from Pennsyl-
vania, New York and other States,
who have stopped to deal had no idea
Smyrna was such place. They We're
noticeably pleased with our Banks
and Stores and were able to make
purchases they did not think they
could get outside Of the cities. One
motorist payed US the compliment of
having the best lighted small town he
had been in fer sometime. Others adj
mire our good streets, uniform layout
of the town and our good looking
homes and business places. The de-
tour is making Smyrna acquainted
with tourists who never knew such a
town existed and many Of these tour
lists have been annual visitors down
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. The many
compliments received have been pleas
ing to our business men and merch-
ants. There is no doubt Smyrna IS
taking on a new lease Of life. Never
has there been so much pride in paint
ing up and fixing up properties. The
business section especially has under
gone noticeable changes in this re-
spect. The taking down Of the old
dilapidated metal awnings and sub
stituting them with modern canvas
lift type, the improving and painting
Of store fronts, the Inauguration Of
standard lights and more of them, the
building of two banks as fine as any
town has on the Peninsula and the
general tone and pride in which our
people are fixing up their homes and
gardens, has given an air Of attrac-
tiveness that is making Smyrna a
better place to live. And now Town
Council is going to add more attrac-
tivene-s BY having South, Mt. Vernon
and North strets extended thru to the
Boulevard, work on which has al
ready begun. The highway detour
thru Smyrna is bringing all these I'M
provements to the attention Of out
siders and citizens Of our town can
well look with pride to what has been

Some Fruit Will Grade High and Be

Peak and Yield Profit to Growers

Delaware peaches, what is left of
them, are beginning to come on. In
some orchards in Kent county, ac-
cording to w. T. Derickson, director
of Bureau of Markets, there will be
just as heavy a crop Of peaches as
last year. But in Sussex the orchards
are almost denuded of this delicious
fruit. The storm did a lot of damage
among the peach orchards that have
fruit, SO that the quality of the peach
es cannot be determined at this time
The cantaloupe crop in Delaware,
which has reached its peak, exper-
fenced a gradual slackening all last
week and the end Of this week will
probably end carload shipments.
Prices at the beginning of the season
were anything but favorable, but with
the Maryland crop being completed
last week, stimulated the Delaware
market and brought better prices. The
melon most in demand this week has
been the Pearly Pink This is can't
aloupe with pink flesh and one Of the
most favored brands at this season.

brought from IS to 90 cents. The IS
inch size melon in carriers containing
anywhere from SO to As cantalouges
brought from S1.9O to S23O. Four
teen inch from SI.4O to S15O. With
these prices, the growers We're able to
realize a profit, but those melons had
come on early lost out because they
had few to sell this week. Those who
lad late melons will fare better. The
recent storm played havoc with lot
of growing things. Corn in some
sections, is fiat to the ground, and
where it is just about ready to cut,
will probably be a loss. The smaller
stalks that will not be ready for q
couple Of weeks stand better chance
Of Strengthening up and yielding. The
canning Of tomatoes and corn is vel
under way in some sections, but the

TO BUILD BRIDGE AT MILFORD
Highway Department Seeks Permis-
sion to Cross Mispillion River

Oscar ID. Ridings, assistant engl-
neer for the Delaware District, has
notified interested parties that the
State Highway has asked for permis-
sion to construct a bridge east of
Milford. The letter sent out by the
War Department is self-explanatory.
1t follows: Application, upon behalf
of the Delaware State Highway De
partment, has ben made by Mr.. c. d.
Buck, Chief Engineer thereof, for ap-
proval of its plans to construct sin
gle leaf bascule lift type bridge
across Mispillion River at a site about
one mile east of the fixed bridge
across that stream at Walnut street,
Milford, Delaware. The proposed
plans provide for a single draw span
with one each northerly and southerly
fixed approach spans leading thereto
When in a closed position, the least
vertical clearances proposed above To-
cal mean high and local mean low
water planes of reference are respec-
lively 5.5 feet and 9.4 feet. The pro-
posed horizontal clearance is 500 feet
between the tenders and $50 feet be-
tween the tenders on the southerly
side of the draw span and the top of
the lift leaf when that leaf is raised
for the passage of vessels, which re-
quire the draw to be opened. The
proposed total length of the bridge
between the faces of abutmens is Civ
en- as 1875 feet while the width of
roadway is shown as 24.O feet clear

ALFALFA FOR KENT FARMERS
Farmers ard Dairymen are Boosting
Campaign for Bigger Crops Of Hay

A campaign for more and better al
falfa on the farms IN this state was
launched last year under the direction
OF the agricultural extension depart
ment Of the University Of Delaware,
and az a result of this campaign the
alfalfa acreage in Kent county alone
was increased ninety percent, making
total Of over a thousand acres
which were -sown to this crop in this
county in 1927. These facts indicate
the interest whic rthe farmers gener-
ally, and especially the dairymen, are
taking in promoting this alfalfa cam
paign, as they are realizing more
each year the value of this legume as
a hay for their dairy cattle and other
livestock. In all probability large
additional acreage Of alfalfa will be
sown this summer thereby resulting
in another increase for the county as
a whole. The six steps to success in
the growing of alfalfa, are CD Soil
fertility, ~ Kind of seed, (3) Seed
inoculation, (4) Good seed bed, (5)
Lime, and (6) ime of seedTing. Al
falfa requires a soil that is in a fair
ly high state of fertility, as it will not
grow well on land that is lacking in
humus and organic matter and in
need Of drainage and lime. Another
very importane thing to remember IN
sowing alfalfa is to use the right kind
of seed. For this section of the
country the Kansas-Nebraska or Utah
northwestern-grown seed, should be
used. The preparation of good
seed bed is also important, as this
legume requires a firm soil in order
that the young plants may become
we'll established to pass through the
winter in god condition for growth
the following spring and summer.
Lime is also an essential factor in the
profitable culture of this crop, and no
attempt should be made to sow the
seed on land that shows any indica-
ton of being sour, for this acid con-
dition will retard the action of the
bacteria which are introduced by in
ocuIation to form the nitrogen-gath-
erinp nodules on the roots of the
plants. Unless the land has been
lined recently, about 1000 pounds of
hydrated lime should be applied to
the acre, although the exact amount
is determined only by testing the soil.
The recommended date for sowing al
falfa in this county is from August
Is to 25, but due to the recent heavy
rains this date will probably have to
be extended wek or ten days. The
usual rate of seeding is from IS to
20 pounds to the acre, and it is also
advisable to use from $50 to 400
pounds per acre of a high grade com
mercial fertilizer of a 2-S-5 or a
2-S-6 analysis at the time the seed is
being drilled.

DROWNED IN SILVER LAKE

Two Year-OId Son of p. F. Walker of
BrOokline, Pa, Falls From Pier
]. Allen Walker, 2-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Frederick Walker, of
Brookline Pa, was drowned in Silver
Lake at Dover Wednesday, when he
wandered away from his mother, who
was visiting Camp Long on the Hall
farm, and either fell from the small
pier or out of a boat into which he
is believed to have climbed. Mrs.
Walker,with her son, was visiting the
camp where three of her daughters
are spending the summer. She and
the three daughters went in bathing
leaving Allen on the bank. After
coming out of the water, the party,
including the young boy, returned to
the camp and it is believed that AL
len, fascinated by the water strayed
back to the pier and climbed into one
Of the boats. Twenty minutes after
Mrs. Walker had returned to the
camp she noticed the absence Of her
son. Frantic calls received no re-
sponse. His body was found shortly
after in a few feet Of water near the
pier. He was rushed to the Kent
General Hospital where resuscitation
ecorts proved futile. Mrs. Walker
and her daughters had been going tc
the camp for a number Of years. In

Discovery was made that Mrs. Nc

Gil to replace and continue the paving
two blocks further west will meet the
approval Of all motorists who use

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
r. w. Slaughter Gives Members an
Interesting Talk on Business Ethics
=22nd 100 Percent Meeting Held


-22nd 100 Percent Meeting Held
The Smyrna Rotary Club held their
weekly melting Thursday evening, Au-
gust 10th, at the Wayside Inn. Vice
president WV. Hynson presided over
the meeting in the absence of Presi-
dent "Bill' Matthews. The speaker
of the evening was R. W. Slaughter,
(club member), who spoke on the
theme, GLOW should a business man
treat customer" His point well
taken, R. w Slaughter very ably pre-
sented his own personal view on the
subject. The ideal, yet practical
manner to assume in the relationship
between business man and his Gus
toner is to follow the Golden Rule
of Business" by rendering unto your
customer service and value as you
would have him render his purchasing
power unto you. Business statics
show in the following table the man
ner in which customers are lost to a
business: l per cent, dead or unac-
counted for; 5 per cent, influenced by
friends; IA per cent, unadjUsted
grievances, real or imaginary; 9 per
cent, buy elsewhere because of price;
3 per cent, move away from the trad
ing zone; So per cent, lost because of
firms indifference. From the above
table, one may very easily ascertain
that the most expensive overhead to
any business is the customer Turn
over" based on the actual costs nee
essary to gain and open new accounts.
1t is much easier to give good treat
ment, good service and equal prices
to old customers, thereby holding
their trade, it would be to acquaint a
new prospective customer with the
advantage he could enjoy by buying
bis merchandise through one particu-
lar firm oil business house. New Gus
toners are necessary and an esset to
any business but not at the expense
of losing old business and established
friends Business at this time Of
keen competition IS considered rather
hard to secure, however, the path to
this objective could be made much
more accessible if business men would
follow the Golden Rule Of Business
in their general routine. Rotary
stands for fair business dealings, to
i sell merchandise for what it really IS
and fol- no more than it is really
worth. The higher types Of business
men Of today can obtain real pleasure
/ and actual thrills from their given
] occupations that are distinct and sep
money. Profits are necessary in bus
mess, very necessary, and should bf
