DELAWARE FRUITS
SENT HALF OF NATION
Report Shows That Diamond
State Had Big Share In Feed.
ing Nation.

According to information received
by W. T. Derickson, director of the
Bureau of Markets of the State Board
of Agriculture, the fruits and vege-
tables produced in the Diamond
State" during the year 1928 were dis
tributed in almost half of the States
in the Union.
The Bureau of Railway Economics
at Washington reports that 2,713 cars
Of the combined 18 principal fresh
fruits and vegetables from Delaware
were distributed among Sc Of the
largest cities which were included in
their survey. Delaware products
were distributed in the cities in
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of
Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota.
During the year 1928, New York
City received 491 car loads of fruits
and vegetables from this State. Bos-
ton ranked second with 400 cars, and
Pittsburgh third with 387 cars. The
figures mentioned do not cover the
movement of fruits and vegetables
by truck, but only the quantity
moved by rail.
The number of cars of each COM
modify was as follows: Apples 684,
grapes 5, peaches 29, strawberries
359, cantaloupes 315, watermelons
80, white potatoes 55, sweet pota-
toes 1926. The crop Of peaches in
Delaware in 1928 was exceptionally
short and this accounts for the very
small shipments. Sweet potatoes by
far exceeded any other commodity
shipped during that year.
Delaware's apple crop was dis
tributed as follows: Portland, Maine,
8; Boston, Mass, 1913; Worcester, Z;
Springfield, 27; Providence, Rhode
Island, 21; Hartford, Conn, II; New
Haven, Is; Bridgeport, 2; Syracuse,

APPOINT MASTER
TO HEAR STATES
BOUNDARY CLAIM
William L. RawIs Of Baltimore
Named By Supreme Court In
DeIaware.New Jersey Case.
Line LONG IN DISPUTE
Dividing Line In Dispute For More
Than 100 Years; Numerous
Fights In Past Over Question.

Action on the settlement of the
State Of Delaware and the State of
New Jersey on the dividing line be-
tween the two states is expected to
be determined in the near future
with the appointment on Monday by
the United States Supreme Court Of
a master to take testimony in the
dispute. The court named William
L. Rawls, Of Baltimore, as master to
take testimony. No date has been set
for the hearings in the cases.
The action followed the request of
the New Jersey authorities and
those of Delaware for the appoint
ment of master to hear the testi-
mony.
For more than one hundred years
friction has been caused, due pri-
marily to the fishing and oyster
dredging rights. Delaware fisher
men and New Jersey fishermen were
frequently engaged in strife that
some times resulted in the use of
fire arms. Many lively battles also
took place in past years in which
fists and clubs were freely used.
The Delawareans claimed that the
dividing line is in the middle of the
Delaware River while New Jersey
fishermen claim it is in the middle
of the river. While the middle of
the river has not changed the chan
mel frequently shifts and during the
past years this shifting of the cham
mel has tended to locate the oyster
beds on the western side of the
channel in the territory claimed by
New Jersey.
In presenting their claim to the
Supreme Court, New Jersey seeks to
have the boundary line declared to
be in the middle of the channel. AS
an argument they contended that the
line was improperly located at the
low water mark on the Jersey shore.
Tracing back the title to 1864 and
Charles II of England, New Jersey
declared the Revolutionary War con-
ferred on it's rights over the tidal
waters and territory previously YES
ted in the British crown. The treaty
of Paris of 1888 conferred on it, New
Jersey claimed, that portion of the
bed of the Delaware River and bay
lying between the "thalweg" or mid
channel and it's shoreline.
New Jersey stated that joint
commission of the two states in
1905 had agreed on concurrent jur-
isdiction of the two states over the
waters of the river and bay, but had
failed to locate a boundary line.

HATCHERYMEN LAY
PLANS FOR FUTURE
OF THEIR INDUSTRY
NewIy.FOrmed DeLMar-Va AssO-
citation Met In Milford Last
Friday.
FINANCES Are DISCUSSED
Agreement Reached To Hatch
Only Enough Chicks To Supply
Demand.

The largest number of poultry
hatchers ever assembled at one time,
representing the members Of the
newly formed Del-Mar-Va Hatchery
mems Association, met at the New
windsor Hotel in Milford last Fri
day to attend the banquet and New
Year business meeting, and discuss
the program for the coming year.
More than 81 prominent hatchery
men from all the three States at
tended, many Of them accompanied
by their wives.
The morning session was devoted
to a. business meeting OF the Doaro
of directors and the officers OF the
association, followed by banquet
served by Mrs. Windsor. At 2 p. M,
the business meeting was resumed
and various problems confronting
the hatcherymen and the poultry IN
dustry in general were presented Dy
prominent speakers and each ques-
tion discussed by the entire attend
ance.
It was generally admitted at the
meeting that the first half OF 1851
would be as satisfactory as the first
half of 1929, which was a banner
period in the poultry industry. The
members of the association all
agreed to an old practise which mas
been in vogue for years, and decldeo
TO employ again their old method OF
setting eggs during the montns Oh
February ard early March. -.
During this period of the year, II
was said, there is a lull in the de-
mand for chicks because the broller
growers have already filled their
houses with chicks and the farmer
and general poultrymen do not pur-
chase chicks in worth while guam
titles until the period beginning IN
March.
The hatcherymen UNANIMOUSLY
agreed that from now until the MD
die of March they would set only
enough eggs in their incubators 10
fill bona fide orders actually booked
at least three weeks in advance.
By following this method of set
ting eggs, it was said, they Will en-
tirely avoid a surplus of chicks dur
ing the quiet period of February and
early March.
A most interesting topic present.
ed was a detailed cost of operating
a hatchery, presented by one OF the
members who had kept an actual de-
tailed cost of every item of both in
come and expense for the last three
years.
These figures, showing the actual
cost of running a hatchery, were a
revelation to those who had not kept
complete records and data, and 1t
brought out the fact that chicks
cannot be produced and sold during
the first six months of the year Tor
less than about 15c as a minimum

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
PAPERS READY JAN. II
Care Should Be Used 10 Com
putting Tax For Congress Has
Changed Rate.

The Government expects to begin
receiving payments on 1879 income
taxes soon after January IL, when
forms for filing returns are to be
made available at offices of collec-
tors of internal revenue and branch
offices.
The forms were printed prior to
the passage of the tax-reduction
measure by Congress and as re-
suit riders" will be necessary to
show the reduction provided.
Steps to make certain that the tax
payer receives the benefits of the
reduction have been taken by the bu-
reau. Collectors have been instruct
ed that if payments are made on the
basis of the old tax, without taking
advantage of the decrease the new
scale is to be computed and notice
of refund given to the taxpayer.
In no case, the order said, should
taxpayers be required to file an
amended return or a claim to secure
the benefit of the reduction.
Rates on normal $4,000 incomes
in excess of the personal exemption
and credits have been cut from III
per cent to One-half of 1 per cent.
On the next $4,000 the new tax is
2 per cent instead of 8 and on the
balance 4 per cent instead of 3.
Returns for the year Of 1929 must
be made before midnight Of March
Is, 1880. The bureau said forms will
be mailed as usual to taxpayers who
filed returns of income for 1928, but
called attention that failure to re-
ceive form will not relieve the tax
payer of his obligation to file re-
turn and pay the tax on time.
