Anniversary OF Lind
bergh Hop Finds More
Ready To Go.
(By United Press Leased wire)


Two years ago today Col. Charles
a. Lindbergh arrived in Paris at
the conclusion of his historic
flight, a trip which inspired the
greatest period of activity avia-
tion had yet experienced.
More than a score of ocean
flights have been attempted, a
number of them ending in disaster,
since that time. On the second an
niversary two crews of trained air
men were ready to hop off on new
quests for aviation honors over
perilous sea routes.
One of the. attempts d, is being
made by three Frenchmen who hope
to better Lindbergh.'s record for
the Paris flight. The other is by
two Americans, Roger Q. Williams
and Lewis NJ. Yancey, waiting at
Old Orchard, Me-, for an improve
ment in weather over the Atlantic
before taking off for Rome.
OLD ORCHARD, Me, May 81.
W.p-Unsettled weather over the
Atlantic ocean today was delaying
the start of Roger Q. Williams and
his navigator, Lewis NJ. Yancey, on
their attempt to set new long
distance record by flying to Rome.
The Bellanca monoplane Green
Flash was ready, it's motor tuned
for the ambitious flight, but pre-
iiminary weather reports indicated
an immediate start would not be
made. The flyers were keeping in
communication with the weather
bureau and said they would hop off
at the first favorable reports.
Williams and Yancey, veteran
American airmen, flew here yes
terday from the Teterboro airport
in New Jersey.

NOVEL SEASON FOR ALL CROPS

"This has been one of the most
peculiar seasons for crops of any
that I can remember" said w. T.
Derrickson, director of the Bureau of
Markets of the State Board of Ag-
riculture.
Starting with the harvesting of
early apples, which crop came along
several weeks ahead of time, all
other crops of fruits and vegetables
have been following suit. Some of
the varieties of fruit that come in
the middle of their season have been
harvested before the first variety
was.
Here in the middle of August we
are already sending out some late
apples that normally should be ready
for market the middle of next month.
This week we are preparing to can
tomatoes, which are three weeks
ahead of normal, and its been that
way all season."
Mr.. Derrickson then referred to the
inspection of tomatoes that started
at Bridgeville and Georgetown this
week, under the direction of his Bu-
reau. Government inspectors will do
the work, having samples of color
and size of the various classes of to-
matoes. olor, he explained, deter
mines almost entirely the approval
or rejection of the tomatoes. Green
tomatoes haven't a chance as the
Gamer can get little for them.
Harry J. Cannon, of Bridgeville,
who, is one of the busiest Gamers in
the State, is conducting an expert
ment this year. He has contracted
with several growers to raise a GER
tain variety of tomatoes, that will
turn out better for canning than
other brands. To these men he pro-
poses to pay the market price and a
bit more if the tomatoes warrant it.
From their experience he hopes to
other growers to the reason
for raising this certain variety. The
crop of tomatoes looks good and
many have been going to market for
the past ten days.
Delaware cantaloupes were never
any better in flavor as this year,"
said Mr.. Derrickson. "The crop is a
good one and prices have held up
nicely" Up to the past week, more
than 100000 crates of cantaloupes
have moved northward through Del
aware by truck. Some of these were
from Maryland and Virginia, but the
greater majority of them, it is be-
Iieved, are from this State.
