OUTLOOK FOR CANNING CROPS
REPORTED BEST IN YEARS
1929 TOMATOES WILL BE CON
SUMED BEFORE NEW PACK
This Has Given Impetus to Coming
Tomato Crop and If Acreage is
Withheld, Will be Profitable

The outlook for practically all
canning crops produced on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula has every
prospect, in 1880, of being the best
in several years, according to the
Agricultural Outlook just released
by the Extension Service of the
University of Maryland. There is
every indication, it is said, that the
1929 pack of tomatoes viii be en-
tirely consumed before the new
pack comes on the market. This
has had a tendency to give a new
impetus to the coming tomato
crop and already there is activity
among farmers to set out early to-
mato plants. And what seems a
good outlook for tomatoes can be
said of most all canned vegetables.
Moreover, spot prices for some
commodities have been consistent
ly strong, indicating that demand
for the products is at least keeping
step with the supply. Further
more, there has been tendency
for greater price stability recent
Iy; that is, there has not been the
extreme market fluctuations ex-
perienced for several years follow
ing the war and it would seem
from this that the total crop pro-
duction for 1929 was in keeping
with the consumption demand fol
the finished product. There are
however, a few minor exceptions
to this, as snap beans, but, in gen.
eral, the 1929 crop Of tomatoes
corn and peas for canning was
not too large nor does there ap-
pear to be an extreme under sup
ply of any of the major commodi-
ties. The year just closed was
reasonably profitable to both the
Gamer and the grower, it is stated
and this may have an effect on
both acreage and pack increases in
1880. Therefore, in view Of the
relatively recent disastrous exper-
fences along this line, it should be
entirely unnecessary to emphasize
the great danger of over produc-
ton.

THREE-YEARS FEDERAL AID
FOR DELAWARE STATE ROADS
GOVERNMENT APPORTIONS
S609,475 FOR THREE YEARS
Federal Funds Added to That of
State Will Enable More ImprOv-
ed Roads to Be Built

Delaware, which in comparison
to its size, has already built one Of
the finest improved highway sys-
TENS to be found in any State in
the Union, has been given another
impetus to keep up its good work
by Federal Aid which has been ap-
portioned by Congress to the
states in bill approved last week
by President Hoover. With the ap-
portionment of Federal aid road
funds, completed Monday by the
Department of Agriculture, the
various State highway depart
ments can now go ahead with
plans for construction Delaware
gets a total of S609,475 for the
fiscal year 1881, commencing next
July l. OF this total, S365 ,625 was
apportioned out of the so-called
regular" Federal aid appropriation
of $75,000,00O, and S243,750 out Of
special appropriation of $50,000,-
600 made by Congress, supple
menting the regular appropriation.
Delaware will receive substantially
the same total in the next two
succeeding years, the two appro-
priations having been authorized
for three succeeding fiscal years.
The department announces that
apportionment of funds for the fs-
cal year 1882 will be made by Jan.
1, next, and the final apportion-
ment by January l, 1882. With
the Federal aid of over half a
million dollars a year for three
successive years, Delaware, no
doubt, along with its own State
budget, will be enabled to build
many more miles of improved
roads, with possibly the Dual Road
extended from St. Georges on
down the State to Dover, and, per
haps in time, the widening of the
Dover-Selbyville road and the Do
ver-Delmar road to meet the in
creasing demands of traffic. Lat
eral roads and even dirt roads viii
also in time, be improved so
every farmer can haul his prod
uce to market over hard surface
roads.

OPPOSE PENNSY TRUCK PLAN
Fears Over in Maryland They VIII
Drive Other Concerns From Field


Opposition has developed over
in Maryland, says the Centreville
Record, to the plans of the Penn
sylvania Railroad to create a
Shorewide motor truck service.
This opposition will be voiced by
independent truck operators in
that territory, it was said, last
week. The application of the
Pennsylvania, for which a hearing
has been set for April Is, would
allow that company's trucks to
parallel those of lines already op-
Grating, it is said. The Baltimore
Transfer Company, now handling
freight between Love Point and
Centreville, would be one of the
major links of the proposed new
service, it is believed. According
to reports, the Pennsylvania plans
to operate the truck lines from
central distributing points for
freight throughout the peninsula.
Due to its financial strength it is
the belief of many well-versed in
the transportation situation on the
Shore that the railroad company
soon would be able to force all
other truck operators from the
field, and again dominate the
transportation of freight there.

GROWING OF RED PEPPERS
Already Tried With Success About
BridgeyiIle for Canning Purposes

What promises to be an import
ant industry for lower Delaware
farmers within the next few years,
is the growing of red peppers for
packing and commercial purposes.
At this time there are no canning
plant on the Delmarva Peninsula
packing red peppers for the trade
on a large scale. Two years ago,
for the first time in the history of
the State, the Cannon plant, in
Bridgeville, utilized them for pack
ing purposes. The experiment
proved a success; and it is stated
that many thousands of plants will
be set this year in that section.
Red peppers. it is claimed, grow
profusely, and the soil of Delaware
is well suited to their growth.
