Motoring Through the Country

through the country.
This time of the year everything
looks so prosperous and the scenery
as we pass along seems to gather sc
much beauty that we are delighted
with the panorama which is before
us.
Sussex County as well as other
parts of the State, is well supplied
with cement highways, which make
a trip by motor easy to accomplish
and at the same time will give to
those who undertake a journey of
this kind great deal of pleasure.
To the lover of Nature there is no
experience he can receive that will
produce so much satisfaction as
when Nature is rObed in air its
sweetness and it will be one thrill
of pleasure as they travel along and
view the world when at its best.
Everything seems to vie with each
other to produce those things of
beauty that attracts and holds the
attention of the human mind and
eye.
The cold Arctic winds have ceas-
ed to blow and those trees of the
forest which have been dormant so
long have commenced to show that
life still exists and soon and very
soon they will put forth their foliage
making q scene of matchless beau
ty. But look down under the shades
of the massive oaks and pines is a
tiny little flower, blooming in pro-
fusion, it is the trailing arbutus,
which is much in demand by the
young lads and lassies and they
will go far to seek it.
The fruit trees along the way are
bursting into full bloom and the
flowers and grass growing along the
highway seems to make setting it
is hard to describe.
The birds are doing their best by
songs and capers to make the trip
more pleasant and the rabbits who
sit at the edge of the forest and the
squirrels jumping from tree to tree
gives to the mOtOrman a genuine
thrill of pleasure.
You will notice that the farmers
are busy; tractors are being used
and in this way they can cultivate
much more land than they could do
with horses and mules.
The wheat and clover fields are
looking fine-the recent rains have
given them what they needed, to i
produce good crops.
The plants in the berry fields have |
commenced to bloom, and very soon |
we shall have the luscious strawber- |
ries gracing the tables of the rich
and poor alike.
Notice also as you move along |
those fields of asparagus, that |
wholesome, tender plant so much in
demand by all classes of people and
said by physicians to be a good I
remedy for several diseases. /
Don't forget to look at the vast
herd of cows, strOlling over the
fields, hunting for something green
to eat. They are money makers for
the farmers; their milk is in de-
mand by the creameries of all sec
tiOns and their manure aids in keep
ing the farm land in first class con-
ditiOn.
You will pass numerous poultry
farms where the owners are busy at
all times in doing those things
which have to be done so that their
hocks will keep well and are able
to produce enough eggs to leave a
fair margin of profit over the feed
bill.
You will also see as you move
along on many of the farms a large
lot of Plymouth Rock broiIers. 4
Many are now large enough for
market and many more will soon be
ready for the buyers. This class of
chickens has been in the past mon
~ makers for the poultry farmers,
and keep them in surplus cash when
needed.
But stop and look at another poul-
try farm. What do we see? A sight
worth seeing! We see at least two {
thousand LeghOrn hens, their plum
age as white as the driven snow,
feeding in the fields near by. These 1
owls are called by the farmers
heir main stand by, by the large {
amount of eggs which they lay. {
You have gone far enough for one
lay, and perhaps some other day t
will be spent on another route, but
urn around and let lis direct you to f
me of the prettiest places that Del S
ware affords: "Ellendale Swamp" h
