MEETING OF ROTARY CLUB
Program Last Thursday in Charge
of V. Lay Phillips, Who Gave an
Interesting Talk on'Fe1IoWship"

The Smyrna Rotary Club held
their regular weekly meeting
Thursday evening, August eighth,
at the Wayside Inn. Unfortunate
ly, due to misunderstanding as
to the return date of Miss Mary
Hynson, the clubs regular pianist,
the evening was noticably lacking
in musical and vocal talent. This
however, was not as serious as it
may sound. Past President, v.
Lay Phillips, chairman of the pro-
gram committee, very ably pre-
sented program consisting of a
talk on Fellowship" subject
very near and dear to all true Ro-
tarians. In his talk, Lay drew to
the attention of his audience, the
primitive reasons that called for
Fellowship among men. He fol-
lowed this up with the ever appar-
ent and increasing reasons why
Fellowship has progressed, how
vital it has become to all commun-
ity life and progress. Where true
Fellowship exists, towns, States
and nations all thrive and prosper
Rotary was, in the very first,
formed upon Fellowship, and since
its conception, Rotary has increas-
ed in numbers throughout most
all the civilized countries of the
world. The far distant dream Of
Rotary is "a Worlds Peace, thru
a mutual understanding of nations
brought about by Fellowship of
business and professional men"
Past President Lay is to be con-
graduated upon the talk that he
gave at last weeks meeting. Wis

FIRE NEAR MIDDLETOWN
Outbuildings of j. j. Williams at
Augustine Burned, $4,000 Loss

Fire of undetermined origin aSt-
urday night destroyed two large
barns and four outbuildings on the
farm of John ]. Williams, at St.
Augustine several miles north
west of Middletown, entailing a
loss Of more than $4,000, partial
ly covered by insurance. The fire
broke out about 10 o'clock and
gained considerable headway be-
fore it was discovered and before
any of the contents of the build
ings could be removed five calves
were burned to death and also sew
eral hundred chickens. The farm
is tenanted by Russell Cleaver, and
he lost his seasons crop of wheat,
which had just been stored in the
barn; his hay crop, a large guam
tity of farming implements and
potatoes. When the blaze was dis
covered a call was sent to the
Chesapeake City Fire Company,
the members of which were hold
ing a carnival The firemen de-
serted the carnival and rushed to
the scene, followed in automobiles
by large number of patrons. On
their arrival the firemen found the
flames spreading, and calls were
made to other fire companies, and
the EIlkton, Middletown and Chris
tiana companies responded. Due
to the shortage of water the fire
men were compelled to fight the
fire entirely with chemicals, and
they succeeded il savino n 'a''r.
mansion house and the tenant
house, which were both threatened
by the flying sparks. The flames
leaped high in the air and at the
height of the fire could be seen for
a long distance and attracted
many autoists to the scene.

GOOD PRICES FROM APPLES
Quality of Fruit Has Been Excep-
tionally Good Though Small i'm
Quality-Enforce Market Law

According to w. T. Derickson,
director of the Bureau of Markets,
the prices received for early ap-
pies this year has been unusually
god. Various varieties have rang
ed from 1.50 to 29O per bushel.
The quality has been exceptionally
good but the quantity has been
some shorter than last year. While
some orchards in Kent County
yielded fair crops, some few in
Kent, namely the Magee and Sop
er orchards, were unusually heavy,
from which good returns were re-
ceived. The season this year
started June % which was about
ten days earlier than last year.
Official shipping point inspection
service was provided by the Bu-
reau of Markets the same as in
past years. Inspectors were To-
Gated at Townsend, Dover, Wyom-
ing, Woodside, Bridgeville, Nassau
Millsboro and Dagsboro. Up to
August /, there were 500 cars, in
Guiding trucks, inspected. In 1925,
there were 600 cars inspected and
while the amount inspected this
year was practically the same as
last year, yet the percentage of
the total inspected this year was
considerably greater than last
year. According to railroad re-
ports there were ST. cars shipped
by rail out of the State to August
1. Another pleasing feature of the
apple shipping was the enforce
ment of the new marketing and
branding law as revised by the
last Delaware Legislature. This
law was sponsored by the apple
growers and practically all of
them were anxious to have the
law enforced and were careful to
see that all closed packages of ap-
pies sold or offered for sale were
raarkad in accordance with the
law Because of the revised mark
ing and branding laws, together
with the careful inspection giving
Delaware apples a good name in
other States, many new buyers
were induced to come to Delaware
this year who commented most
on the improved quality
of apples and their shipment.

WHEN AUTO RAN INTO BRIDGE
WE'RE MOTORING TO LITTLE
CREEK ON FISHING TRIP
Jennings, the Driver, Has Rod of
Bridge PrOtrude His Leg Which
Was Sawed to Extricate Him

Four persons were injured, one
of them seriously, as the result of
a peculiar accident on the draw
bridge near Leipsic at 4.3O A. M,
Thursday which resulted in a loose
bridge rod piercing the automobile
in which they We're riding. Ac-
cording to occupants of the car
three of whom are Philadelpihans,
the automobile crashed into an
angle line, causing the bolts on the
heavy iron rod to become loose, and
to pierce the automobiles body
Michael A. Jennings, Fifth street,
and Washington Avenue, Philadel-
phia, driver of the car, was the
most seriously injured. The bar
went through his left leg, pinching
the muscles severely. So firmly
was the bar imbedded that the in
jured man could not be removed
from the scene of the accident un-
til Harry Ford, a Leipsic mechanic
had sawed the bar in two places.
At the Kent General Hospital at
Dover to which the injured pers-
ons were admitted, DR.. I. j. Nc
Collum said that although an op-
Grafton had ben performed immed-
lately, Jennings condition was still
serious. The others gave their
names as Mrs. Cook, Philadelphia,
treated for a fractured pelvis;
Miss Isabelle Palumbo, Bromall,
Pa, decorations of the head, and
Charles De Hart, 141 South Fifty
first Street, Philadelphia, fracture
of the leg and other inff1uries. The
automobile, in which they We're
travelling to Little Creek, to fish,
was completely wrecked and it
was said that Jennings Enfamil-
iarity with the bridge caused him
to crash into the angle line of the
draw. The car, which was broken
into, was taken to Ennis & Dea-
kyne's garage, Smyrna. Last win
ter in similar accident on the same
bridge, another automobilist, Wes-
ton Smith, son of Former Assem-
blyman J. w. Smith, of Kenton

The mid Summer meeting of the
executive committee with the
Board of Governors of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
was held at the Henlopen Hotel at
Rehoboth, Thursday evening. The
business meeting took place in
the hotel pavilion followed by din
ner in the main dining room. The
attendance was well up to the

PEACH TREES ARE LADEN
Orchards in Kent Are Producing
Good Crops But Small Fruit

Kent county's largest peach or
chards are heavily laden with fruit
many trees breaking under the
weight of the fruit. Unfortunate
ly because of the exceeding dry
weather the fruit is not as large as
in former years, neither is the col
or and quality as good. One or
chardist in Sussex county hit up
on the plan of watering the ground
around the trees last week, giving
each tree about 100 gallons, which
it is hoped will help in making the
peaches much larger. In the ]. A.
Frear orchard, south of Dover, it
was estimated that $4,000 carriers
would be shipped from that ORCH
ard alone.

ALFALFA SEED CAMPAIGN
County Agent II. E. Wilson of Do
yer, Stresses on Points of Culture

County Agent Russell E. Wilson
has addressed a communication to
all the farmers calling their atten-
tion to the seven essential points
which should be regarded in the
seeding of alfalfa in this section of
the country. If alfalfa is to be
SoWn on land for the first time the
seed, preferably north western
grown, should be properly inocu-
lated with either the pure culture
or the soil and glue method, as
many crop failures have been di-
rectly attributed to the lack of
seed incubation. In the prepara-
tion of the seed bed care should be
taken to establish a firm soil, and
unless the land has been lined
within the past year it is advisable
to apply about 1000 pounds of hy-
drafted lime to the acre just previ-
GUS to seeding, since alfalfa will
not grow and produce god crop
en- sour land. When sowing alfal-
ia on certain types of soil that
may be lacking somewhat in fer
tility it is often necessary to apply
about $50 pounds of an 0-12-5
commercial fertilizer to the acre
at seeding time, and a top-dress-
ing of 100 pounds of either sui
phate of ammonia or calcium nj
trate in the early spring is also ad-
visable on some fields. The recon-
mended date for sowing alfalfa in
this county is from August Is to
25, and the usual rate of seding is
&c pounds to the acre. The con-
tinued period of dry weather in
many sections of the county, how
ever, will make it difficult for
many farmers to prepare their
seed beds, and it may be necessary
that this crop be seeded at later
date this year. During the past
two years approximately $500 acres
of alfalfa have been planted in
Kent county. indicating that the
campaign has met with success,
and also that more farmers each
year are endeavoring to raise more
and better hay for their livestock.
