the other goods stolen from the
cigar store of Albert Mag on
Loockerman street, were recovered.

Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle Collins have
been awarded a cash prize for hay
ing the best kept and prettiest gar
den in a town on the du Pont High
way between st. Georges and RehO-

Wednesday afternoon. The award
was announced by Governor Buck,
who appointed a committee to make
the roadside Identification awards
offered by Mrs. Henry B. Thompson,
Mrs. Pierre S. DUPONT and Mrs. G.

1t is hoped that the erection of

the Dutch in 1851. According to

The memorial will be a replica of
the old town hall, HoOrn, Holland,

ing seen by the Colonists before
they set sail for this country.
The plans for the building were
drawn by E. William Martin, Will

time in Hoorn making studies of the
old town hall.
The site for the memorial has been
bought by the Lewes Tercentenary

Who're than $4,000 bushels of choice
peaches were given away in the
vicinity of Bridgeville on Sunday
when hundreds of persons took ad-
vantage of the offer of peach grow
ers to give the fruit to all persons
who desired it and who would pick
and haul the fruit away. More than
a dozen orchards were stripped of
the fruit and most of the peaches are
gone.
From early Sunday morning until
late in the evening the roads in the
vicinity of the orchards were lined
for miles with automobiles and en-
tire families were engaged in pick
ing the peaches. Many of the fami-
lies brought lunches and spent the
entire day in the orchards.
In the orchards of State Senator
Oliver A. Newton, near Bridgeville,
the quantity allowed to each family
was limited to five bushels and this
rule prevailed in other orchards
where the picking was in progress.
Mr.. Newton said the only regret he
had was that many of the poor fam
lilies were unable to get the fruit Ow-
ing to their lack of automobiles or
other methods of transportation
which would permit them to visit the
orchards and avail themselves of the

.WyEgg Production
Was Larger In Kent
Report Sent out By County Agent Wilson ShOlVs That
PuLLets And Hens Produced More This Year Than
Last; Proper Methods Of CuLIing Are Urged

The average egg production rec
OTds from 31,691 birds, representing
105 farms throughout the state, are
included in the july report of the
Delaware farm egg record club
which has been prepared by H. S.
Palmer, extension pOultryman of the
University of elaware, and diDstrib-
uted recently through the county eX-
tension offices to all those poultry
raisers who are cooperating in this
project by keeping daily egg rec
ords.
OF this total number of birds, these
records indicate that the 1877 pull
lets laid on the average 15.1 eggs
each, while the 1912 pullets and
hens in mixed flocks laid on the
average of II eggs per bird. The
egg production in July of last year
was 1876 eggs per pullet, and II eggs
per bird for the hens and also for
the mixed flocks of pullets and hens
running together.
In addition to the statistical part
of this report, the attention of the
poultrymen is also called to the
Importance of culling the flock for
more economical egg production.
