Trim LIN The State

Trip Up The State
A few days ago the writer and his
family concluded to take trip up
the State, as we generally do at
least twice each year.
As usual, Miss Thayer was at the
wheel and as we notored along in a
quiet way, we could not help notic-
ing the improved condition of the
farming interests along the way.
The wheat crop had been threshed
and we were told that only about
two-thirds of a crop had been real
lied. The corn crop was looking
fine, not quite as far advanced as
the crop in Sussex, yet it bids fair
to yield an abundant crop. Soy
beans looked promising. We were
agreeably surprised to see so many
peaches in the neighborhood of Do
yer. Some trees were full. The ap-
pie crop will be fair. The growers
had about finished harvesting the
yellow transparent crop which
seemed smaller in size than usual.
There seemed to be an increase in
the number of filling stations along
the route. How so many can make
a living by selling oil and gasoline
is a question.
The stands along the highway
seem to have on sale about all the
farm produce outside of grain, soy
beans, etc. Apples, peaches, pota-
toes, watermelons, cantaloupes, lima
beans, squashes, etc, could be
bought at a very reasonable price;
which makes it very handy for the
motorists who live in the city as
they can buy for less money than
they have to pay in their home mar
ket.
The dual highway which now
nearly reaches Smyrna, makes 1t
much more safer for motorists when
travelling over the highways. 1t is
fine piece of work and reflects
great credit on the State Highway
Department. All the way from Ell
lendale to Wilmington showed
thrift, on the part of the farmers
and when the Recovery Code gets
going in full force, we will wonder
what has become of the depression
that has been existing for so long.
Hurrahl for President Roosevelt.
