Connecticut Valley shipping points
the latter part of July. Total onion
shipments decreased. The bulk of
the late July carlot movement was
coming from Massachusetts, Iowa,
California and Washington.
Peach Markets Weak
Recent heavy arrivals of peaches
were reflected in weak markets and
low prices. Bushel baskets and six
basket carriers of Elbertas were
selling at so cents on a usual terms
basis at Georgia shipping points.
Hileys and Bellies brought about that
same price in North Carolina. Few
peaches sold above $1.5O in eastern
city markets and the general range
of medium to large fruit was from
rs cents to $1.25 a basket or crate.
Early apples, mostly of the Trans
parent variety, were covered by
price range of so cents to $1.25 a
bushel, according to the size and
quality of the apples. Delaware
and Illinois were furnishing the
bulk of the eastern apple shipments
in late July, although a few cars
daily were moving from a dozen
states or more.

If there is any rural family in
Sussex County this season who has
not had a comparatively good vege-
table garden thus far, it is because
of the long dry weather, especially
in the vicinity of Milford. In some
sections very favorable weather con-
ditions for growing plants up to the
present time have prevailed. No
doubt most people have had nice
spring and summer vegetables in so
far as they were planted, but one of
the tragedies connected with Vege-
table gardening with most people is
that there are so few different vege-
tables planted. Early peas, corn,
potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes and
lima beans, beets and cucumbers,
are about all in variety that can be
found in the average garden. This
is almost a crime when the season
under normal conditions, in lower
Delaware is such that almost all of
the many vegetables to be had can
be grown.
The second tragedy of gardening
is the fact that practically no one
plants vegetables for fall and win
ter use. Sussex county is quite
adaptable to late vegetables so no
rural family should be without
fall garden.
Most everyone, no doubt, has ar
ranged for the late tomatoes, cab |
bage, and potatoes, but for greater
variety, very little, if any, thought |
has been given. The following veg !
Leafy Greens
8 servings a week
For 4 months equals 48 servings
Tomatoes
servings a week
For months equals SO servings
Other Vegetables
String beans, asparagus, etc.
Four servings a week
For 6 months equals 9* servings
Fruits
A variety of fruits such as pears,
plums, peaches, etc.

Multiply the above amounts for
the individual by the number of
persons in your family and you have

WEEKLY PRODUCE
MARKET NOTES

CarlOt movement of the leading
fruits and vegetables maintained q
fairly steady volume in late July
Combined output of about thirty-six
products, amounting to slightly over
$500 cars daily the last week of the
month, was approximately One-sixth
lighter than a year ago because OF
the smaller movement at this time
of potatoes, watermelons, peaches,
lettuce and cantaloupes. Many lead
ing vegetables declined in price but
potato markets were somewhat
stronger.
Potato Markets Firm
Practically all lines of potatoes
showed a stronger tendency at the
close of July Virginia Cobblers
brought $1.60 to $1.7O per barrel in
the Eastern Shore region toward the
first of August. Local reports indi-
cate that the Eastern Shore shipping
season is about finished, with pos
sibly 500 to 700 cars yet to be ship
ped from Virginia and about 500
from Maryland.
The Eastern Shore crop has fallen
considerably short of early expecta-
tiOns. 1t is reported locally that
the entire output from the Virginia
Eastern Shore district may amount
to about $4,000 cars, or approxi-
mately $500 less than last years
crop. Maryland Eastern Shore ship
ments may total 1000 to $1,000 car
lots or about twO-thirds the number
moved last season. Some trade
opinion is that New Jersey potato
movement, which got well under
way this week, will exceed that of
last season, if the markets hold sat
isfactOry. Good yields and fine quail
ity potatoes are the predictions of
New Jersey growers. With the Vir-
ginia and Maryland potatoes largely
out of the way, eastern markets
look to New Jersey and Long Island
for their potato supplies.
Potatoes were reported in light to
moderate supply in large eastern
markets toward the first of the
month, with prices about steady at
the slightly higher price levels. In
New York City, barrels of Virginia
CObblers were selling mostly around
$225, but Long Island stock in 150-
pound sacks brought 1925 per sack
and New Jersey potatoes mostly So.
Other eastern cities quoted Virginia
and Maryland, Eastern Shorte, pota-
toes anywhere from $1.S5 to $2.40
per barrel.
The Eastern Shore district is ex-
pecting a large crop of sweet pota-
toes this season, according to local
reports. The growing season has
been favorable, and the crop ap-
pears to be in good condition. Move
ment is expected to start by the
tenth or fifteenth of August.
Onions Dull
Onion markets were generally dull
and rather unsettled toward the first
Of August. Only a limited demand
was reported. Bushel hampers Of
New Jersey yellow varieties sold at
IS to 80 cents in eastern cities and
arrivals from New York brought
from so to IS cents per 5O-pound
bag. Massachusetts stock was firm
At rs to 80 cents per 50-pound sack

Suggests Methods For
Canning Vegetables

etables should be included in your
garden for fall and winter use:
Carrots planted in early (August)
cabbage (July) beets (August) late
turnips (August) Chinese cabbage
(August) late sweet corn (August)
winter kale (September) Broccoli
(September )turnip greens (Septem-
ber) peas (August) asparagus (Oc-
tober) Bush string beans (AugusD
celery (July) lettuce (August) Win
ter onions (September and OctOber).
With this list of late vegetables in
sufficient quantities to provide for
canning and storing after freezing
weather comes, your family should
be we'll protected.
The following canning budget will
be guide as to whether you are
meeting the food need of your fam
lily through the medium of your
garden and fruit sources. Make
check and see where you are in re-
lation to this standard which should
not be lowered one bit. 1t is pos
sible for your garden to help you
meet this standard.
In Delaware, we have to depend
upon canned and stored vegetables
for four to six months of the year.
It is, therefore, necessary for each
home maker to work out a canning
budget for her family. On the basis
of food needs, the following is sug-
gested, using one-fOurth to One-third
pint to a serving which is equiva-
lent to One-half to two-thirds cup
STANDARD measuring cup:
Amount to be Canned for 1 Person
equals 12 to 16 pts. or to 8 qts.
equals "a to 80 pts. or 70 to 16 qts.
"a to go pts. or 12 to 16 qts.
equals AZ to Sc pts. or 81 to % qts.
those in the family who do hard
labor and require larger
than suggested above, the
home maker can increase the
amount of canned products accord

DELAY IN ARMS
FARLEY seen IN
LEAGUE CIRCLES
Financial Crisis Causes
Doubts of Success If
Held in 1892.
BY HENRY WOOD
BY United Press stan Correspondent

GENEVA, July 3O-Postponement
of the world arms limitation con-
ference scheduled for next February
was considered in League Of Nations
quarters today.
Doubt was expressed that the
conference could be a success early
in 1882.
The German financial crisis and
the danger that the rest of Europe
may be involved in a serious eco
nomic struggle were regarded as pos
sible obstacles to the success Of an
arms conferences six months from
now.
Economic and political tram
quietly, it was emphasized, are
essential to the success of an arma-
ments conference, and it was feared
that the early part of next year
will not be a favorable moment for
the leagues arms parley.
The date of the conference was
set when the European atmosphere
was much less disturbed, league Of
ficials pointed out.
While league authorities agreed
with President Hoover's theory that
a radical reduction Of ornaments
would be an important moral step
toward economic recovery, it was
insisted that nothing in Europe's
present tendencies would indicate
that the nations were ready for
such a vital move.

MAN RESCUES
DAUGHTER FROM
SHARKS ATTACK
Beats 6-Foot Monster to
Death in Shallow Long
Island Pond.
By United Press

By United Press
GREENPORT, L. l., July 30.-An
attempted attack by a blue-nose
shark On a child bather-the third
such incident within a few days
made old fishermen wonder today if
a school Of the m~an-eaters had
moved into north Atlantic seaboard
waters.
The latest report Of the big fish
came Wednesday when a blue-nose
shark, one Of the more ferocious
species, tried to attack 7-year-old
Irene Matthews in Gull pond, an
inlet connected with the harbor. The
child's father, Carl Y. Matthews, Of
Cleveland, dubbed the creature to
death in the water.
Matthews, here to visit his par
ents, MI. and Mrs. w. Y. Matthews,
was watching his daughter play In
the pond where he often swan as a
boy. She was standing hip-deep in
the water. He noticed the fin Of a
shark making toward her.
Beats Of Attacker
Mathews seized a club. Then he
Waded in, fully clothed, and got be-
tween the fish and the girl. AS the
shark approached he hit it on the
head. It plunged toward him, but
the water was so shallow he was
able to beat it until it was stunned.
Irene waded ashore.
Matthews pulled the shark UP on
the beach and found it measured
6 feet 7 inches. Local fishermen
identified it as a blue-nose.
Sharks in this latitude Of the
Atlantic are not uncommon in
summer, but to have them venture
into shallow bays and inlets is I'M
heard Of, according to fishermen.
Their only explanation was that it
followed a school Of fish into the
pond at high tide and when the
water receded found the way barred
by sand bars.
Sand Shark Captured
Wednesday a group of boys
swimming III a shallow part of
Staten Island Sound near Eliza
beth, N. j., were routed by the ap-
pearance Of a sand shark. 1t was
captured with a net, and measured
three feet.
Last Saturday at Sea Girt, N. J.,
a guardsman encamped with the
New Jersey national guard was
nipped on the leg by a large fish.
He reported that in his excitement
to get ashore he could not say def
nitely whether it was a shark or
swordfsh. He thought it was a
shark.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
James j. Davis Of Pennsylvania said
today he would sponsor in the next
congress a bill to remedy "the bar
barous system now being used on
children held in prisons as federal
offenders"
The recent report of the Wicker
sham commission showed more
than 1000 federal offenders, less
than 18 years old, being held for six
months or longer. Many of them,
Davis said, ARE subjected to fog
gings, solitary confinement in dark
dungeons and restriction of diet,
which menaces the health and some
times the life of the child prisoner
