Randolph P. Reynolds, farmer
of Fieldsboro, is believed to be the
banner tomato grower of lower
New Castle County, for both quail
ity and quantity. Some persons
visited his four-acre patch on
Monday and picked so choice to-
matoes the largest weighed three
pounds and eight ounces and the
smallest Of that number weighed
one pound and 7 ounces. Mr..
Reynolds last spring selected a
heavy clay soil section of his farm
for his tomato patch and planted
his own specially hand saved to-
mato seed that has been in the
Reynolds family for nearly fifty
years, having first been imported
from India. This tomato is found
to have withstood the extreme dry
season well. Mr.. Reynolds had
some of his tomatoes on exhibit
in Townsend.

PROPOSE TUBE UNDER RIVER
At CHESTER AS HIGHWAY LINK
CONNECTION WITH NEW JER-
SEY WOULD SERVE 8 STATES
What Effect This Would Have on
Congress For Proposed Bridge
From Wilmington Not known

The latest highway project to
connect with New Jersey is a plan
proposed for a Delaware River
Tunnel between Chester, Pa, and
a point near Bridgeport, n. ].
Such a project it is said, will be
presented in the December session
of Congress by Congressman
James Wolfenden representing
the Delaware and Chester county
Congressional district. What eff
feet this will have on the propos-
ed bridge or tunnel from point
below Wilmington to the New
Jersey Shore near Pennsville is
not known. If the Pennsylvania
delegation bring pressure to bear
favoring the Chester route, it will
probably make it more difficult
for Delaware to make progress as
Congress would hardly want to
favor both at this time, despite
the fact a bridge would be of
greater service at or near Will
mington than Chester since the
latter city is situated near the
Philadelphia-Camd bridge. A
similar bill to that Of Congressman
Wolfenden's will be presented be-
fore the Senate by U. S. Senator
David Baird, Jr., of Camden, NJ.
The bills would give the right of
construction to John E. Hatch, a
former field representative Of the
Pennsylvania State Association of
County Commissioners The tun-
mel, which Mr. Hatch said would
serve three States Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware would
be a short cut TO New Jersey
shore resorts from southern points
and would be a connection with
the proposed Industrial Highway
from Philadelphia through Ches-
ter to Baltimore. According to
the plans announced by Mr.. Hatch
the approach to the tunnel would
be at the foot of Madison street,
Chester, extending beneath the
river to Chester Island, distance
of about $500 feet, and resume at
the other side of the island. A
roadway would be built across the
island, according TO the plans. The
tunnel would have two separate
tubes with two traffic lanes in
each tube. 1t is estimated the
project could be completed in
three years. 1t was said the city
of Chester and the State Highway
Department are cooperating in
plans regarding ramps and run
ways from the proposed Indus
trial Highway to the Madison
street approach. The point Sc
lected for the tunnel is said to
be the narrowest in that part

CLASH ON RIVER DREDGING
Lebanon and Barkers' Landing
Tomato BUYERS Differ on Need
of st. Jones River Dredging

In scense, the agitation for
government dredging in St. Jones
River, Del, apparently is a con-
test between tomato buyers Of
Lebanon and Barker's Landing,
five miles apart, on the river. w.
r. Green, of Lebanon, one of the
buyers, instigated the renewed ac-
tivity on the part of Senator
Hartings looking to government
improvement of the river. In
competition with him is James 4.
Sapp, who is a large buyer Of to-
matoes at Barker's Landing. Sapp
seems to be satisfied even if the
government takes no action, and
is not supporting the movement
for deepening the channel. 1t is
revealed in Gen. Lytle Brown 5
letter to the Senator announcing
that 1t. Col. Howell, district en-
gineer, had reported adversely on
the project that the latter based
his rejection Of the idea largely
on the testimony of Sapp and 9th
ers at Barker's Landing. Senator
Hastings now is asking Gen.
Brown to have an independent in
vestigation made. In his report
1t. Col Howell said in part: Il
have today made an additional
personal investigation of this
matter, visiting Barker's Landing
and interviewing an official of the
local canning factory now in op-
Grafton, several growers Of toma-
toes, and James K. Sapp, who is
the principal buyer of tomatoes in
that locality, and who ships large
ly by water both to New Jersey
and to Maryland. Mr.. Sapp as
sured me that the boats by which
he ships tomatoes have no es-
pecial difficulty in navigating St.
Jones River; that although at
times boats may have to wait for
high tides and in addition lose
some time by not being able to
take advantage of the flood tide
up the Delaware River from the
mouth of St. Jones, the situation
is not serious"

aid in carrying out the policies of
the National and State admins
trations. Senator Hastings was
not present. In addition to eau
tloning members of the party
against over-confidence Congress

in worth while projects. He re-
ferred to the progress that has
been made along educational lines,

ed a plank for the observance and
enforcement of all laws and en-
dorsement of President Hoover
