AMERICAN PIONEERING BULBS
AS GOOD AS THOSE IMPORTED

The increasing popularity of flow
ering bulbs is responsible for a
rather rapid development of bulb
growing in four sections of the
country, according to DR.. David
Griffiths, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. These sec
tions are the Puget Atlantic States,
and eastern Texas.
Growers in these sections are now
producing all the narcissus bulbs
the country gets, and in the Pacific
Northwest the most difficult varieties
such as Golden Spur and Voctoria
are successfully grown. The quality
of these bulbs, says Doctor Griffiths,
is fully as good as that of any bulbs
ever imported.
Narcissus bulb growers are find
ing that it is necessary to specialize
on a few varieties which are adapt
ed to the particular locality. Thus
many varieties of the Dutch group
are no longer attempted in the
warmer sections because of the diff
fculty of storage. They make ex-
cellent growth and are successfully
handled in the cooler Pacific coast
region.
Proportionately greater progress
is being made with lilies than with
any other group, it is said. Their
culture is a more recent venture
than the daffodil. Already we have
some lilies that are characteristical-
ly American, and foreign dealers are

FALL PLANTING
OUTSIDE AND In
BY Rnfh Todd


The vacation season is over; the
children have returned to school, the
men folks have gone back to their
desks, and the homemaker turns her
attention to her neglected house.
Before settling down to the winter
routine, there is always a certain
amount of renovation to be taken
care of. Sometimes the exterior of
the house needs repainting; in other
homes, it is only an occasional room
that requires going over. But if you
are a good housekeeper, you won't
overlook the slightest warning that
your house is in need of outside pro-
lection or is showing signs of shah
biness within.
To do them justice, most women
plan to have some painting done in
the fall, but many of them don't get
at it early enough. If the work is
postponed from day to day the paint
er is sure to have a long schedule
ahead and your job will have to
await his convenience. Rainy
weather may delay the work still
further-for painting should never
be done during damp spell-and all
these deferments will keep the house
in a state of unrest far beyond the
period when it should be in perfect
running order. Then, too, if you get
in touch with the painter before he
is rushed with work, he will have
more time to devote to your particu-
lar job and the results will be more
satisfactory to all concerned.
Having made the first move to-
wards repainting, the next step will
be the selection of the color scheme.
If it is an exterior job, you will want
to take advantage of all the modern
ideas along this line. Give your
house new color treatment as well
as fresh paint. Look it over care
fully and see if it conforms to goth
century taste in this respect. Even
if it is out-of-date architecturally,
it need not remain a back number,
for a change in the color scheme is
often just as Transforming as an al
teration in structural details.
To retain their brightness, colors
must be based on good materials.
But there are more reasons than
this for choosing high grade strains
or paints. Inferior products will
not supply adequate protection from
the ravages of frost and snow, nor
will they give the same coverage as
the better ones.
In their essential points, all these
suggestions are also applicable to
Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18

interior painting. You should be
posted on the new wall treatments,
the new floor decorations and va
rious methods of giving more char
acter to the wood trim. Two-tone
and multi-color finishes are now
widely used for interior walls. Scum
bled, blended or strippled, they are
very effective if the colors are so
lected to conform with the furnish
ings.
For the floor, one may have, at
very little cost, different finish for
every room. There is the spatter
finish, which accords well with
hooked rugs and Colonial furniture,
stencil borders which are effective
around a plain floor covering in the
dining room or living room, and
painted terrazo designs which are so
decorative that they may be used in
the hall or the sun room with no
floor covering at all.
The practical side of interior
painting shoul dtake into account
the temperature of the room, which
should be between 60 and 70 degrees,
so the paint and varnish will flow
freely. 1t is also advisable to know
the various finishes that are suitable
for each part of the house, as every
surface in your home has its affinity
in the paint line. This is easily un-
derstood, when you realize that the
floor, for instance, gets harder wear
than the woodwork and consequent
ly requires greater protection. So
when buying paint or varnish prod
ucts you should always state the
purpose for which they are intended.

Improvements were made to the
shucking houses, and all are purely
sanitary, meeting all requirements of
the State laws. The demand for good
quality oysters is equal to other sea-
sons; inferior grade, not much sale
for. Shuckers from Seaford, Blades
and Baltimore are employed. The
oysters are selling at high price.
$1.35 is being paid per bushel to the
dredgers by the shucking house COM
panies. Select oysters, one gallon
cans, s2.7O; shell oysters by the
bushel, $1.70.

There will be a festival and a
masquerade party held in the town
hall on Halloween, October 81. This
festival will be given for the benefit
of donating a piano to the Jr. o. U.
A. M. hall. This instrument is badly
needed for all social gatherings. One
of our ladies has been very kind to
loan hers, but remember moving a
piano so often is injurious to them.
So lets get busy and purchase one.
Let every one give cake, pie, eggs
or something to make this a success
as this music instrument is badly
needed for the P. T. A. meetings.
There will be amusements of differ
ent kinds, also stunts and games.
Ice cream, pie, cake, candy and
many other good things to eat will
be on sale. Come out and make it a
success as it is for the benefit OF
our children. Come one-come all.

Dear Mr.. Shilling:-
"I am settled nicely now in Darby
High School in the eleventh grade.
I got in the proper class without any
trouble.
The school here is a fine one
though it doesn't quite seem like
home. Of course it is bigger than
Milford; but, I feel, not bit better.
The present principal, Mr.. Waldy, is
leaving the first of November, and so
we shall have a new one.
Foot ball here seems to be the big
athletic sport, and we have great
hopes for the team, the first game to
be played next Friday. The students
have a great school spirit and GER
tainly are singers.
Please tell the Junior class hello
for me and tell them that 1 miss
them all.
I feel that the recommendation you
gave me helped and thank you for
it."
Sincerely,

Another play, perhaps. Or book.
Maybe she could do some short
stories. She was still the child
wonder of Broadway. The ingenue
prodigy. The red-haired babygirl
who could call the tricks any old
lay.
They're eating out of your hand
the dear public" wrote Red, "but
they're tickle as a flock of women.
Keep 'em while you got 'em-and
ride 'em for a flock of suckers. Can't
you dish up another order Of Crime,
with little Sex on the side? And
give it to 'em hot dear. Hot and
medium raw. And make 'en love
/ i'll"
Reading a letter from Red was
like talking to him. He had good
ideas, too. His insistence upon
holding the public, when she had
! them. Now was the time, she knew,
to keep her place in the sun. She
had a reputation. and she must
keep it. Before very long she would
be forgotten. And, after that she
would have to start all over again.
Mr.. Durbin had written, urging
that she begin work on another play.
THE Death of Delplline DarroWs"
had proved the sustained hit of the
season. He seemed willing to take a
chance on almost anything Molly
might write.
But don't turn sWeety-pie on me"
he warned. "The public has you
tagged as a girl who knows her
crime. You can't pull any love-
among daisies stuff on them. t.
How about nice juicy murder?"
NTOL1'Y had torn up his letter
1VG inpatiently. She did not want
to be tagged as girl who knew
her crime. Better love- among the
daisies than a nice, juicy murder!"
Now, crushed with grief by Rita's
death, confronted with the prospect
of a long and unbearably lonely
VOYAGE, she decided to devote the
! entire trip to the task of writing
another play. For some time she
had revolved in her mind the dra-
matte possibilities of a tragedy of
young loye-the sympathetic study
of modern thrill
Life had furnished all the char
acters. The tragedy had taken place
while Molly was in college. In real
life, the inglorious hero had been
murdered.
For the purposes of a play, she
would have him commit suicide
in a sacrifice to honor and chNalry.
But. until the last moment, the All
dience must believe him murdered.
Even the defendants. and his sweet
heart. must believe him murdered.
The plot should revolve about the
love of mother and daughter-each
ready to give her life, to save the
other-each believing the other
guilty of murder.
A freshman in college had fallen
in love with a man whom her par
ents considered unworthy. Learn
ing of the romance, her father had
. gone to the boy.
There was a stormy session. dur
ing which the youth declared that
the girl was pursuing him. that she
had thrown herself at his head.
and that whatever happened was
her own fault.
