GIVE INFORMATION
ABOUT STATE CLIMATE
CONTINUED from Page u


Millsboro, with 1856 growing days
each year. The record shows that
the average growing season for the
State extends from the middle of
April to the last of October. The
summers average warm, and the
winters are moderate. Seasons are
well marked, according to the sta
tistics included in the report, which
show that the spring is about IS
degrees warmer than winter, sum-
mer is 20 degrees warmer than
spring, and autumn is II degrees
colder than summer. The winds are
mostly from the south, southwest,
and west, with velocity of about
nine miles an hour.
The annual average of precipita-
ton, including melted snow, is heav-
lest in Millsboro, where the average
is 44.43. Other sections have but a
slightly lower average.
Bridgeville average both the high
est in the wet months and the low
est in the dry months. The high for
that point is SIT inches, and the low
is 2.58.
The annual average of snowfall is
heaviest in Wilmington, with %
inches, and lightest in Millsboro,
with 1877 inches. The greatest
monthly snowfall in any part of the
State was in Bridgeville, with the

FIRE BURNS TIMBER
In SUSSEX SWAMP
State Forester Taber Visits Scene
Of Large Blaze-COVers 5000 Acres

State Forester w. L. Taber has
visited Cedar Swamp in Sussex coun-
ty to ascertain the damage caused by
the fire which swept over that place
for several days.
The burned section is in the vi
cinity of Gumboro and Selbyville.
The fire companies from Georgetown
and Millsboro used every effort to
extinguish the flames but were un-
successful. According to Mr.. Taber,
it is a ground fire combined with fire
in the woods. He says a ground fire
is one of the hardest to fight for the
reason that in forest of this kind
the ground is covered with brush
and peat.
The fire spread over section
of about 5000 acres in extent and, ac-
cording to the State forester, is the
most serious forest fire which has
occurred in Delaware for years. The
greater portion of the swamp where
the fire burned belongs to John II.
Layton, of Georgetown.
Most of the trees on the section
are those which sprang up after
most of the tract had been stripped
of its original timber. This makes
the fire harder to fight because
many of the stumps remain while
others have rotted and covered the
ground, making a covering which
burns easily.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
1t may have been caused by some
one dropping lighted match or
cigarette or cigar butt in the woods,
but it is the opinion of many that
the fire was caused by moonshiners
who had selected the depth of the
forest to operate their stills un-
known to the owners and the people
in the neighborhood.

FINDS INDICTMENTS
ON OPENING DAY
CONTINUED from Page u

Notwithstanding the large number
of indictments brought in by the
Kent county grand jury on Monday,
and with eight or nine continued
cases carried over from former
terms of court, which savored of a
long term for the fall session of the
court, indications now are that there
will likely be but one jury trial with
a possible settlement of that before
the case is actually called.
The murder case scheduled for the
Court of Oyer and Terminer next
Monday will not be tried as the spe-
cial jury drawn and summoned for
that case has been notified not to ap-
pear Monday. 1t is understood that
a plea of second degree will be ac-
cepted by the state. The case is that
of Leander Townsend charged with
the murder of William Powell, col
ored, at Milford, August 10 last.
Tuesdays session of the court was
largely taken up with arraignments
Of prisoners indicted on Monday,
among whom were Amos Simmons,
negro, who pleaded guilty to the
three indictments found against him
driving off an automobile without
consent of the owner; larceny and
escape from Kent county jail.
Benjamin Tharp, who had been in
dicted for non-support and deser-
ton, entered a plea of guilty yester-
day and was ordered to pay SIS per
week for the support of his wife and
children.
Wilson Holden, who pleaded guilty
to an assault and battery, was fined
$50 and costs.
William Hopkins pleaded guilty to
carrying concealed a revolver and
was fined $25 and costs.
The grand jury Tuesday visited
the Kent county Jail and almshouse
and on their turn in the afternoon
submitted thei rannual report for the
year, which was ordered read in pub
lie and spread upon the court rec
ords.. A copy was sent to the Levy
Court of Kent county. The grand
jury in a report to the judges stated
that they were satisfied with the con-
ditions there.

This excess in revenue, says the De-

in reduction of debt, and in purchase
of investments and increased cash
balances.
Delaware's total funded or fixed

$11, ,4O6,2S5, of which amount $10,-
$4,000 was for highways.
The assessed valuation of proper

amount of State taxes levied was
$S9S,S74, and the per capita levy was

DELAWARE PROTESTS
TRUCK AGREEMENT
Continued from Page II


would be impossible for the Della
ware truck to unload until 8 D. m.
and possibly later because of the
rush that there will undoubtedly be
at this point. This arrangement al
so makes an extra handling and will
result in additional damage to the
produce as well as broken pack
ages.
Delaware is joining with New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and
New York shippers in this protest
and it is intimated that an investiga-
tion is not only being made by the
New York authorities, but by the
Department of Justice and the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Some idea of the Importance to
Delaware growers will be recogniz-
ed by the fact that from April to Oc-
tober, it is estimated that Delaware
trucked $50 carloads of fruit and
produce to New York City and on the
basis of 400 packages to a carload,
this amounts to approximately a
quarter of million packages into
that market during this period.
The Bureau of Markets has been
that the whole matter is be-
ing re-opened and investigated and
it is hoped that the united efforts of
growers and producers who truck
their products to New York City will
be successful in having at least this
part of the agreement nullified.
In view of the present activities,
both state and national, to reduce
the cost of food distribution, it is
that such an agreement is
a backward step and if allowed to
go on unprotected in New York City,
would leave they way open for the
same action by Truckmens' Associa-
ton in other cities.

DELAWARE'S SWEET POTATOES
CROP

That part of Delaware which lies
ware Peninsula, produces the finest
grade of sweet potatoes both as to
form and flavor, that is grown any
where in the United States. Yams
and the coarser fieshed potatoes
which have been classified with the
real Sweet potato" are grown
throughout the south lands of the
! United States; but the real high class
as to quality for eating and general
table use, are found only between
Cape Charles, Va, and Kent County,
in Delaware, and in a part of south
ern New Jersey.
A few of the most satisfying Of the
many good varieties, seem to be of
delicate fiber, which makes them
poor shippers when care in packing,
handling and maintaining an even
temperature has to be part of their
handling between the field and the
consumer; but when these require
ments are met, those who can secure
the real gold skin" sweet potatoes,
get thrill each time that this va
riety of potato comes on the table.
This season an early frost killed
the sweet potato vines, which are
very susceptible to frost, and the
growers have dug and housed all
varieties of sweet potatoes in their
potato houses which are built for
this special purpose. The crop is
an average, while the quality is un-
usually good in most cases where at
tention was given to the crop.
Beginning at the Virginia line
there is a soil particularly adapted
to the sweet potato crop, which ex-
tends north through Maryland coun-
ties and encompasses a great part of
Sussex county in Delaware-espe-
cially where the soil is a sandy loan.
Then on north through Kent county
but narrowing in width, this sweet
potato section progresses, and jumps
across into New Jersey, where it
dominates a section of that state
along the Delaware Bay.
Like all business propositions, po-
tato growing requires Industrious
and intelligent preparation for pro-
ducing the crop; good cultivation at
proper time and season, careful
handling of the tubers, and then
good sense in selling the crop after
it has been put into attractive form
to please the buyer on the market,
as well as the consumer in the home.
Above all-honest packing is a guar
antee of success.
Farming requires a higher grade
of common sense, and practical bust
ness than most any other business
of barter and sale. Time spent in
reading, in study of methods of con-
Quoting work problems, careful COM
parison with what others who are
making success of their efforts, is
the real key to any man or woman's
success in conducting all forms of
agricultural work.
Amusements are necessary, but
even these can be made to help solve
problems, when considered with
thought and reason. Farmers of
Delaware have had a successful
year. Poultry, eggs, milk, vege-
tables, grains and most every crop
has produced in proportion to the at
tention and service given by the
farmers. The closing season has
been just what the farmer has made
of it.
After all it is just common sense
and industry that makes success in
Delaware farming, and our farmers
are generally making progress and
success each succeeding year,
