IudI JHe MdIhelluS BUREAU OIL Tne
Del-Mar-a Eastern Shore Associa-
ton reports that on the first five
commodities which have carried the
stamp or insignia of the association
as a guarantee of the grade in both
contents and pack, growers have re-
ceived the highest market price, and,
in some instances, fancy prices as
compared with the ordinary ship
ment.
This is encouraging, for the plan
is to use the stamp of high grade
on all the important products sent
out from this peninsula. These pro-
ducts are large and numerous. The
growers are also reported as having
a successful season so far.
In the past peaches raised on the
peninsula always ranged first, pre-
ferred by the purchasers in the large
cities. In those days select growers
were just as careful in packing and
grading their fruit as under this new
Del-Mar-Va plan. The consequence
was that the purchasers came to
know the best marks, bought fruit
and seldom questioned the price.
They desired quality. All fruit grow
ers and farmers in general of this
land between the bays should have
that aim.
The growers in the far west, in
some things, because of more ag-
gressive methods, outstripped our
own people. Even today in this city
we witness the preposterous situa-
ton of some far western product be-
ing sold in competition with our
own. AS regards peaches, the flavor
of our fruit was not surpassed. That
fingered. Last season, for
instance, a Delaware seller of fruit
here happened to remark to a group
that he had some Reeves peaches. A
dear little old lady standing on the
edge happened to hear the words,
and she stepped out right away and
said she wanted some. She knew the
of the Reeves, that gor-
geous yellow peach originated by the
late Clement Reeves, of Delaware
City.
There is absolutely no valid rea-
son why all our farm products
should not be continually pushed as
uuality fruit and vegetables. And if
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation did nothing more than that
It's existence would be fully justified.

DECORATING OUR HOMES
1t is fine thing to build sub
tantial looking town with handsome
blocks, and good looking
wellings. But it takes more than
ricks and concrete and wood and
tucco to make a high class looking
lace. There needs to be some
ouch of beauty.
Some towns with handsome places
-hich have cost a lot of money, look
orbidding, because the general run
f people have not seen the desir-
bility of adding any touch of beau
7 to their places.
How much a little bed of flowers I
ith their jolly and cheerful colors ,
Ids to one of these places! Or 4
ne of shrubbery makes the place
ok like a home. In a city where 4
ost of the homes add these touches 4
beauty, the community takes on a
wv tone of charm. A few dollars
Id a little labor put into such
