SCHOOL NEWS
Schools Closed To-day and To-
morrow For Thanksgiv-
ing Vacation
MAKE HEALTH REPORT

The pupils and teachers of our
local schools are taking a holiday
to-day and tomorrow, their usual
Thanksgiving vacation. This
week they have again been of
fered the opportunity to demon
strate that true Thanksgiving
spirit in an active way by making
a contribution of foodstuff to the
Babies Hospital at Wilmington A
place for this material will be set
apart in each class room, begin
ming Tuesday, November 9th. We
sincerely hope the same liberal
spirit will be shown this year
The activities of the school nurse
for the month of October show the
type of work and amount of time
and effort that is being expended
in looking after the health and
sanitary conditions of our local
school. During the month "a pu-
pills received first aid treatment,
1877 were examined, and 122 found
with some defects. There were
407 defects recorded for total num-
Der of pupils examined. The homes
of these pupils were rotified and 5
pupils reported correction during
the month. On accoun of contag-
ious or infectious diseases 5 pupils
were excluded from school. Eight
pupils were referred to the family
There were 55 pupils
temporarily excused from physical
education. The nurse gave 38
health talks in various grades, and
13 conferences or home visits were
held with parents. 1t is of great
that parents should re-
spond to recommendations made
by the school nurse by taking
some steps in having defects cor
rected- 1t is impossible for child
to do egective school work if he is
handicapped.

MORE
CHEERFUL NOW
More Profitable Crops AS a
Whole, Are Being Report
ed This Year
LOOK FOR BETTER NEXT

Lower Delaware farmers have
made more money from their crops
this year than they have made for
the past five years. Starting in
the early spring, they realized
good, them banking as much as
$4,000 and $4,000. This was follow
ed by a good yield of lima and
string beans and Strawberries,
which turned out well and sold for
a fair margin of profit. Cucumbers
commanded a good price and net
ted growers, especially in the west
ern section of the county, many
thousands of dollars. The water
melon and cantaloupe crops were
prolific and good returns were re
ceived from shipments. Peaches
were in great demand and sold as
high as S1.50 per basket. This
was mainly due to the shortage of
the crop on account of the cold
weather during February and
March, which killed off most of the
fruit. Blackberries and huckleber-
ries sold for high prices and
brought returns of many thous-
ands of dollars to farmers. Dur
ing August and September there
was a good yield of tomatoes,
which sold on the open markets for
the highest prices in six years,
bringing as much as 42 cents per
basket, as compared with 5 and 10
cents during the 1882 and 1888
seasons. Taken as a whole, most
farmers have profited by the ad-
vance in prices within the past IS
months and have somewhat en-
hanced their dwindling bank ac-
counts brought about by the de-
preston. If the season of 1885
proves as profitable as that of 1884
they will be able once more to get
on their feet and forget about the
hardships they have encountered
within the past five years in an at
tempt to meet the cost of their
fertilizer bills and keep something
in the family larder. Corn and
wheat bid fair to command prices
which will warrant farmers in
growing both crops. They have
made but little from the white po-
tato crop, due mainly to the over
production.

KENT FARMERS
WHEAT CHECKS
r. E. Wilson, County Agent,
Explains Their Issue on
Approved Compliance
CORRECTIONS ARE MADE

According to the numbers of in
quiries which are being received at
the Kent county extension Office,
apparently some wheat contract
signers do not have a clear under
standing of the basis upon which
the Federal government is making
the second benefit payments on the
1888 contracts, and the first benefit
payments on the 1884 acreage
compliance. Several weeks ago
Kent county agent Russell E. Will
son, who is also secretary of the
Kent and Sussex County Wheat
Production Control Association,
and wheat administrator for these
two counties, sent to each contract
signer instructions on this phase
of the wheat allotment program,
but evidently this information did
not answer all these questions to
the satisfaction of the wheat grow
ers. The subject of acreage COM
pliance in the seeding of the wheat
this fall was also discussed in these
gvernment publications, and in
other letters which have ben issued
from the county extension Office.
Upon the approval of the 1884
acreage compliance certificates,
which were signed by landlords
and tenants last summer, at the
/ time the field inspection was made,
the Wheat Section of the Agricul-
tural Adjustmnet Administration
authorizes the issuing of these
benefit payments by the Treasurer
of the United States These pay
ments are made for compliance
with respect to the wheat crop
which was harvested in 1884, and
do not refer to the wheat acreage
that was seeded this fall for the
1885 crop. Another field inspec-
tion will be made with reference to
the 1885 crop, and the second bene-
fit payments for next years crop

ROAD WORK IN

Grading For Extension of

To Boulevard, East
ROADS EAST OF DOVER

The widening of the Bay Road
from Dover to kits Hammock is
almost completed by the State
Highway Department. Surveys
have been made and the grading is
now being done on the extension
of the Boulevard from the Dover
police station east of Loockerman
street extended, also through the
lands of D. M Wilson where a cut
has ben made to connect up with
the Pine Tree lane toward the Bay
Road boulevard. 1t is not thought
that much of the actual laying of
the concrete road on this new ex-
tension, will be accomplished this
year The road which will con-
meet up with the already con-
structed road at Little Heaven"
between Magnolia and Freedrica is
nearing completion and will make
a new short route for trucks and
motorists coming south from Will
mington to lower Delaware. The
State Highway Department had 33
contracts under way last week,
employing total of 2156 men.
These men are employed by the
contractors on the different pro-
jects in addition to their own or
ganizations- Although there are
several Public Works Administra-
ton contracts under way, so far
this year, the Highway Depart
ment has pulled much of the re-
employment load and in Sussex
and Kent Counties virtually all of
the work furnished the uuemploy-
ed has been supplied by this De-
partment. Several more contracts
are expected before the first of the
year and it is the intention of the
State Highway Department to do
everything possible to keep as
many men working as possible

Cranked His Car While i'm Gear,
Forcing Him Against Another Car

On Saturday night, while Rob

coast, jamming him against the
car in front of his. His right leg
was injured quite seriously. He
was taken on Sunday to the Kent
General Hospital in Dover. When
he was brought home he became
worse and suffered more, so he was
taken to the Delaware Hospital in
Wilmington where DR.. Springer
decided to amputate his right leg
close to the knee. The unfortunate
affair has caused general sym
pathy for young Talbot who is
one of Smyrna's bright and am
bilious young men. That he should
have to be so handicapped is deep
ly regretted by his large circle of
friends. He is son of Mr. and
