GROWERS SEE A
BIG BERRY CROP
Expect Best and Most Profit
able Season in Years
in This State
$40 PER CRATE MONDAY

Strawberries are beginning to
roll out of the principal shipping
points in Delaware, marking the
beginning of what growers antici-
pate will be the best and most
profitable season in this State for
several years. Crisp, at times cold,
weather that has characterized this
Spring has contributed to the un-
usually good berry crop. The ber-
ries have ripened slowly, in perfect
condition, and are bringing prices
which are expected to mean a tidy
profit to the growers. Bridgeville,
one of the biggest shipping points
in Delaware, started to move the
Delaware crop last week Monday
approximately 1000 thirty-two
quart crates were shipped from
there. They brought from So to
S4.1O per crate while the average
price was between $3.50 and S3.75.
At the peak of the season the daily
shipments from Bridgeville total
between $4,000 and 10000 crates.
The peak of the season down State
will be reached some time next
week. 1t will continue for about
four weeks and with the continu-
ance of the present seasonable
weather growers anticipate several
hundred thousand crates will be
moved from Bridgeville, Selbyville,
another big shipping center;
Georgetown, Seaford, Harrington,
Millsboro and Dagsboro, all centers
from which thousands of crates are
shipped every year. Shipments
from the Eastern Shore by truck
on Saturday and Sunday totaled
1850 crates, bringing the total to
date from the Delmarva Peninsula
to 215,901 crates. The crop in the
Virginia counties and the lower
Maryland counties begins much
earlier than it does in Delaware.
Over the weekend Delaawre grow
ers sent out $50 crates of which
3O1 went to New York city; $50 to
Bridgeport, Conn, and 1913 to Pitts
burgh. Delaware growers feel
they have good prospects this sea
son and with a better price range
than last year, they expect to make
a profit on their crops. They say
there is a good demand for the ber-
ries and the market is stable.

HOME OWNERS
LOAN PERMIT
New Amendment Signed By
the President Will Aid
Those i'm Distress
MUST UNDERGO A TEST

Dealing with the amendment to
t, Home Owners Loan Act, sign
ed Monday by Pesident Roosevelt,
which permits the Home Owners
Loan Corporation for a period of
thirty days to accept new loan ap-
plications, John H. Fahey, Chair
man of the Corporation, immedi-
ately issued the following state
ment, emphasizing that such appli-
cations will be accepted only from
home owners who are clearly in
distress, and are threatened with
the loss of their homes through
foreclosure The same tests of
eligibility of HOLC applicants
which have applied in the past will
in general continue in full force
under this new legislation. The
Corporation intends to make every
effort to assist home owners who
are in genuine financial difficulty,
but it will be forced to reject every
application which is not clearly
eligible. No home owner should
apply for a loan until he has first
made certain that mis- application
will be eligible under the Corpora
tion's restrictions. He should real
ize that the rejection of an in
eligible application, on grounds of
deliberate default on existing debts,
is likely to cause the home owner
the loss of his property, because of
the unwillingness of his present
mortgage to carry the loan fol-
lowing such default. Largely as a
result Of more than 21a billion dol
lars in bonds already disbursed to
them by the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, lending institutions
are in far stronger position to-
day than they were a year ago

THE MEMORIAL DAY

The nation to-day is honor
ing the memory of the partici-
pants in our wars who have
passed on. Many made the
supreme sacrifice, falling in
battle, while some lived to
help enjoy the fruits of vic
tory. Founded by the veter-
ans of the Civil War Memorial
Day was originally an occa-
sion for marking the graves
of those who had succumbed
in the conflict between the
North and the South, as well
as the heroes Of earlier wars.
It's observance, however, as
far as actual participation in
the program arranged for the
occasion was concerned, for
many years devolved upon the
Grand Army of the Republic,
who took this means of annu-
ally paying tribute to the
memory of their comrades in
arms. For a long time this
body of men formed a mighty
force, and, knowing the hor-
rors of war, from experience,
it was a real influence in keep
ing the country at peace.
Now nearly all Of these pat
riots have gone to their final
reward. The few who remain
are too advanced in years to
take an active part in the an
nual observance Of Memorial
Day. Younger men have,
therefore, assumed the obliga-
ton. The American Legion,
composed Of survivors of the
World War, Sons of Veterans,
is now carrying on.
America bows its head in
reverence to the men and
women who made the nation
free; also to those who pre-
vented its division and to
those who played their part in
subsequent wars, especially
those who helped stabilize
democracy throughout the
world.
