where conditions are quite favor
able, but rain is needed soon on ac-
count of recent high temperatures,
Field crops were planted late. The
condition of winter grains is fair.
Conditions of other crops including
hay and pasture. are generally
good except northwest of the noun
tains. The fruit outlook is reported
below that of month ago except in
the southeastern commercial coun-
ties where improvement is report
ed. Present indications are that
plant disease and insect damage are
about average. The dairy situation
is unsatisfactory. Feed and pastures
are short. Producers claim milk
prices are too low. POultrymen are
optimistic.
In Delaware:
Except that it has been too wet
and somewhat unfavorable to corn
planting, crop conditions in geneFaI
are good. Development of hay and
pastures has been retarded by cool,
wet weather but the condition of
those has picked up in the past
week. No feed or water shortage is
in prospect.

God never would send us the dark

II He felt we could bear the light
But we would not cling to His guild
ing hand
If the way were always bright,
And we would not care to walk by
faith
Could we always walk by sight.
'Tis true He has many an anguish
For your sOrrowful heart to bear
And many a cruel HOMEGROWN
For your tired head to wear;
He knows how few would reach
heaven at all
If pain did not guide them there.
So He sends you the binding dark
ness
And the furnace of seven-fold
heat;
'Tis the only way. believe me,
To keep you close to His feet:
For it's always so easy to wander
When our lives are glad and

Then nestle your hand in your Fa-

And sing, if you can. as you go;
Your song may cheer someone be-

Whose courage is sinking low;
if your lips do culver,
God will love you the better so.

break wi EN- he is put on the spot
so to speak.
my experience in dealing with
the Senate of our State has been
that all things being equal, any bill
| placed before them with the proper
reasons given for its passing has
always passed with the constitution
al majority. No reasonable legisla-
ton as ever failed to pass, if ii is
a question of an unbeatable mat
ter pertaining to a Senator's dis
trict or for the good of the entire
State. My impression of the several
Senators from experience gained in
daily contact has been most refresh
ing and pleasant. and if they we're
left alone, could and would work
out themselves the most difficult
piece of any legislative matter to
come before them. Why, because the
personnel and personality of the
Senate warrants my saying that the
background and training of each of
these Senators has been sound rea-
sOning. honesty and their training
i'm the State of Delaware"
Mr.. Morton then outlined the rec
ord and characteristics of each of
the II members of the Senate. He
showed how each worked earnestly
and conscientiously, regardless of
party affiliations.
Were they my last words on this
earth, I could not change my Opin-
ions as expressed" Mr.. Morton de-
clared. IF you believe in my analy-
sis of the personnel and persOnali-
ties of the Senate at the first and
second and extraordinary sessions
of the 10lth General Assembly. you
certainly must agree they all ap-
preached their work with a good
ness. a kindliness. a sincerity, a
keenness and an alertness to do
their best. This they did, IL they
accomplished their purpose. it is to
their credit and glory. If they did
not. blame them, but that is another
story to he told another day by

use Of the bottles will be banned,
il was said.
The use of advertising on theatre
programs and on programs for
charity benefits or other perform
ances has been banned by the COM
mission.
Officials of the commission stress
ed that this is not a new ruling of
the commission but that the COM
mission heretofore has been per-
hitting the licensees to take care of
advertising according to the rules
of the Liquor Control Act.
Recently the licensees have been
transgressing the provisions of the
act and il was the belief of the COM
mission that an end should be put
to the excessive advertising imme-
diately as the commission believes
there is ample opportunity for the
licensees to use the newspapers and
radio for advertising.
When the two years stipulated in
the Liquor Control Act have passed
the licensees will be permitted to
advertise in any way they see fit
but until that time the commission
will supervise all advertising.
The commission also notified all
licensees that in order that there

Produce. Market Notes

good market Tor watermelOns in
carly June but movement was rather
dTaggy and trade dull.
Apples are selling at fairly steady
prices in the large markets. mostly
from $3.50 to S3.25 a buShel for the
more desirable lots of Baldwin, Stay

land Winesaps topped the market
at $3.50 in Washington. Delicious

many NewtOns sold above 81. Best

i'm Pittsburg. Midwestern markets
ranged Sl.75 To 1925 on leading va
/ rieties in coed condition.
Potato Market Irregular
Weather conditions affected the
! potato markets in early June and
prices were irregular. There was
| little change for old stock. First
cars are moving from the Virginia
Eastern Shore region and shipments
are expected to be active the Sec
Ond half of June. The Eastern Shore
crop has been making good prog
ress. although condition is uneven
and some poor stands are reported
but a yield of better than average
is considered probable. Complaints
of heat and drought injury and
probably reduced yields are received
from the Raw Valley section of Kan
sas and from Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas potato districts.
Nearby beCts and carrots are ar
irving at northern markets in larger
quantities and prices are well on
their way down TO the usual summer
level. Cabbage receipts have been
heavy and prices declined to around
so cents per half barrel hamper for
virginia stock in some markets.
Some lots of New Jersey cabbage
have begun to appear but size has
been small and demand rather light
due to competition from Virginia
stock. Heavy receipts of snap beans
from the Carolinas practically de-
mOralized New York and Philadel-
phla markets the first week of June
and prices reached very low levels
Some lots were refused on account of
freight charges. Lighter arrivals on
the way gave little better tone to
the market. Homegrown lettuce |
has been moving rather slowly, most |
of the receipts being of ordinary |
quality, and prices were low com !
pared with western lettuce. Yet a
few exceptional lots of New Jersey !
iceberg lettuce brought $3.50 to s. |
in Philadelphia per western crate or
about the same as California stock. |

ORCHARD SPRAY NOTES
[CoHfinHe4 from Firn PaeeJ

For those apple trees which are
subject to blotch, bitter rot and
fruit spot, it is advised that a 49,
100 Bordeaux be used as a fungi
eide, or sulphur sprays of the wet
table type may be substituted for
the 2-l00 lime sulphur. In spraying
early varieties it is recommended
that no insecticide be used unless
the apples are to be washed. For
the fall varieties, however. it is adj
visable to use pounds of lead ar
senate and pounds of lime for
each 100 gallons of spray. and for
the winter varieties the growers
should use the same quantities of
lead and lime in addition to 1 pint
of fish oil. In order to avoid injury
to the foliage growers have been
cautioned against applying sprass
during the middle of the day when
excessive high temperatures pre-
vail.

my. The auto in itself is not haz-
ard; ii is merely a piece of machin-
cry. But with a person behind the
wheel who has no regard for the
rights and safety of others. and APP
parently just as little for himself.
the piece of machinery becomes
more dangerous than ten lions and
more deadly than a Big Bertha. The
insane desire to get some place in
a hurry-with probably nothing to
do when there-has caused more
deaths in the United States than a
major military engagement.
Drivers who realize that a little
courtesy on the streets and roads
and a little care at all times may
mean their own salvation are the
ones who are not responsible for
killing 10000 persons in a single
year.
To put a stop to this tremendous
death toll, which can be prevented
by no more difficult method than
each person being careful instead
of careless, is one of the most vital
tasks facing America today. The
Delaware Safety Council. which rec
Ognizes the fearfulness of this stu

motoring casualties one of its fore
most campaigns. but can not save
10000 lives in 1884 unless the pub

pie would take II more seriously if
they realized that in most auto ac-
