Our Trip To Slaughter Beach

passed along what the farmers were
doing.
We were much surprised at the
amount of work that has been ac-
cOmplished by the farmers. Flowing
both by tractor and horses were go
ing on and on nearly all farms men
and boys were busy getting the
fields ready for the spring crops.
The wheat and clover crops look
fine and had every appearance of
yielding a full crop when the har-
vest season rolls around.
AS we neared the beach we no
ticed that the Deputy Brothers and
Clarence Plummer had their boats
drawn out along the canal, and
were repairing and painting them,
getting ready to take those who love
the sport of fishing with rod and line
out to the coral beds, where the big
trout bites.
AS we arrived at the beach we no
ticed that our little cottage had wea-
thered the storms of winter very
we'll and it looked very much that
the only thing needed was a broom
and dust brush and a little water,
then it would be ready for our oc-
cupying once more.
Some of the other cottages did not
fare so we'll; the storms during the
winter blew out some screening and
many shingles were torn loose from
the roofs and blown away.
Bay fishing for shad will soon
commence and some fykes along the
shore are catching quite a few rock
and perch. i
The sand along the shore never
looked cleaner, the heavy winds
must have blown all trash away.
AS we sat on our front porch en-
joying the sea breezes and the warm
sun we thought could any one name
a resort that had any more natural
advantages than Slaughter Beach?
1t has an abundance of oysters,
CLANS and fish at the cottages doors.
As we sat musing we were sur
prised to see several young ladies
dressed in bathing suits taking a dip
in the bay. They did not remain long
before they hustled toward the bath |
houses as they found it little too
cool.
Is it any wonder that people who |
indulge in such things have colds
which often develop into pneumo-
mia?
Farmers To Meet
1t is we'll that the progressive
farmers of Sussex county have
agreed to meet in the several towns
situated in the lower part of the
State once each month.
The Extension Department of Del
aware as we'll as the Sussex county
present at these meetings and give
to the farmers such advice as they
may need.
The farmers of Sussex county
have many problems to be solved,
and perhaps these meetings may be
the means of bringing about more
congenial feeling among the farm
ers, and in that way many problems
which are now confronting them
will be solved.
The farmers of Sussex county
need to be careful in what kinds of
crops they plant, and in these meet
ings they can discuss among them
selves the most profitable crops to
grow.
The meetings at Milton and Lau-
rel were we'll attended and the far
mers should be glad that they can
have the chance to attend these
gatherings, yAnd hear such men as
Prof. Palmer, poultry specialist;
Prof. H. r. Baker, poultry patholo-
gist, and C. R. Snyder, representing
the County Extension Department
who will be present and give to the
farmers much useful advice. The
farmers of Sussex county have been
hard hit of late. Such crops as they
have grown don't bring much. 1t
seems that they don't know what to
grow in the future that will be pro-
fitable. Let the farmers everywhere
attend these meetings and perhaps
some advice they may receive from !
the speakers may in a measure help ;
the dirt farmer to better and more =
profitable way of living.
The sweet potato and soy bean
crops have proven a failure the last :
Two years, heretofore they have
been money making crops for the ,
farmers to grow. t.
Let all farmers attend these meet =

Why not tender him the nomination
Without any further trouble? Watch :,

The Congressional bee seems to a
e singing around some of our DEM +,

President Hoover seems to have ii
