DEATH RECORD OF WEEK
Rev. James G. King, Jr., a Young
and Popular Episcopal Minister,
Assistant at St.Andrew's School

Rev. James @. King, Jr., 26
years old, assistant headmaster at
st. Andrews Church School, near
Middletown. died yesterday in
Noxentown Lake from heart fail
ure while he was attempting to
summon aid to rescue two COM
panions who were clinging to an
overturned sail boat three-quart-
ers of mile out in the lake. Mr..
King had swan from the over
turned craft to within 25 feet of
the shore and Was able to walk on
the bed of the lake when he col
lapsed and fell. 1t was first be-
lieved the young minister had
drowned, but following the recov-
cry of his body after graphing
tie lake an examination showed
that his death was due to heart
failure probably caused by the
cold water and exhaustion. Ac-
companied by Miss Kathleen Nc
kaelis, house mother at st. An
drews, and Robert Justice, stu
dent, Mr.. King was sailing on the
lake and in making a tack the
boat overturned. The occupants
of the craft were thrown into the
water and chung to the boat for
some time. The accident occurred
about 4 o'clock and after failing
to attract any attention, Mr.. King
divested himself of part of his
clothing and swan toward the
shore to get aid. Miss McKaelis
and the Justice boy continued to
cling to their capsized craft for
some time before their cries at
tracted the attention of several
fishermen who were out in the
lake. The men, whose names were
not learned, went to their aid and
took them to shore. Mr.. King was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. James C.
King, Sr., of New Castle and was
popular in all parts of the State.
lie was a graduate of the New
Castle high school and later grad
uated from Friends School, Will
Inington. After graduating with
honors from the University of Del
aware he spent a year in the post
graduate school of Harvard Uni
versity from which he received the

of encouragement and hope for
both Democrats and Republicans.
In the New York race for Cover
norship, Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt was far ahead of his Re
publican opponent, Charles HUT
tie. To his top-heavy majority in
New York City he added margins
in several upstate cities, but the
usually Republican rural sections
still were to be reported. AS had
been expected, James Hamilton
Lewis took an early lead over his
Republican opponent for the Illi-
nois Senatorship, Ruth Hanna Nc
Cormick, largely on returns from
Chicago. Mrs. Mccormick counts
chiefly, however, on the unreported
vote outside the city. Very meag-
er returns from a handful of dis
tricts, put Republicans into the
lead for Governor of Ohio and
Oklahoma, and Democrat for
Governor of Connecticut. The first
Pennsylvania precincts were over
whelmingly for the Republican
nominee for Governor, Clifford
Pinchot and reports are he won a
signal victory, overcoming "the
Gang" in Philadelphia.
Solid South Returns Democratic
The Solid South had returned
most of its members without op-
position as usual. But in the Sec
ond Virginia district, which went
over to the Republicans in the
Hoover landslide,a Republican was
leading. Elsewhere throughout
the country, the returns were slow
in establishing definite trends. AL
most negligible returns showed
Republican Senatorial candidates
ahead in the disputed States of
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Ohio
Oklahoma and South Dakota. The
Democrats were leading for Sena-
tor in Illinois, Virginia and North
Carolina. The first Alabama re-
turns showed the Democratic Sem
atorial nominee, John H. Bank
head, well in the lead over Senator
Hefiin, who ran as an independent.
In Kansas Senator Capper, Re-
publican, was far ahead, but his
Republican colleague, Senator AL
len, trailed on the first splender
returns. Governor Roosevelt leads
in New York State, two to one. In
Texas Senator Sheppard, author
of the Eighteenth Amendment, had
nominal opposition, but was re-
elected without difficulty.

IN the selection OF a section OF the
country in which citrus fruit can
be profitably and successfully raised,
care must be taken in the selection
Of soil. I would quote the following
from Hume: But even with this
advantage. there are certain clas-
ses Of soils which should be used
and Of course many are more suit
able than others. Sticky, heavy
soils through which water does not
readily penetrate should be avoided
and also those which are extremely
dry. unless they can be irrigated.
Again, damp and wet soil and
those underlaid with hard pan
should not be chosen for the citrus
grove, unless the strata of rock of
hard soil can be broken up and to
allow the ruts to penetrate deeply.
Citrus trees succeed best on well
drained soil Of a rather open ma
ture."
The writer has personally In
spected and approved soils owned
and being developed by the Delta
Orchards Company and most heart
ily recommend them as especially
adapted and well suited for the
raising of citrus fruit.

The avocado fruit will not in any
way interfere with our citrus fruit

type fruit and instead OF being a

lieve that avocado growing should
hsve more attention and should be
given O. better place in u Valley
horticulture than ii now has, and
