Erwin Fumes Over Charges.

"THEY must be crazy to make
statements like that" fumed
Erwin today. referring to Don
ovans belated excuses for Rivers in
the first fight. Why, Sarron is one
of the cleanest fighters in the ring,
He always puts on a good show, anq
how can a fighter do that and clinch
at the same time?
'As far as Pete and myself are con-
cerned. Donovans talk doesn't mean
anything, because we know 1t is so
much hooey. But it is bound to give
some of the fans the wrong idea about
Sarron Some of them will believe
it and squawk every time Pete throws
punch That kind Of stuff often has
an influence on the judges.
Besides, where does Rivers get on
with his complaining? He started the
rought stuff in the first bout when he
hit Sarron three times on the breaks. "
The Rivers camp stuck to its guns,
however, and from the way both bat
tiers are looking at it, Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn might we'll satisfy them
by handing them hatChets and letting
them 90 to it.

@GOD BLESS YOU"

cannot find a truer word,
Nor better, to address you!
Nor song, nor poem have heard,
Is sweeter than God bless you.
God. bless you! Thus I've wished you
All that Christian joy possesses,
For there can truly be no joy,
Unless, indeed, God blesses.
God bless you! So I breathe charm
Lest grief's dark night Oppress yon,
For how can sorrow bring you harm,
If it's Gods way to bless you?
And so, through all your earthly
days,
May shadows touch you never,
But if they should. Gods blessing
Will keep you safe forever"

Hold Hearing On Potato
Control In Washington
On Thursday, October 3

There will be a hearing on the
much discussed potato control pro-
gram on October at 10 a. m. in
room 205O, South Building, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington. D.
c.
The object of the hearing is to de-
termine whether a potato program
should be developed under Title Of
the Potato Act and If so what such
a program should include.
Title of the Potato Act desig-
mates potatoes as a basic commodity
and authorizes the employment Of
any of the methods outlined in the
Agricultural Adjustment Act for the
purpose Of increasing agricultural
income to be used to aid potato
growers.
Title II of the Potato Act levies a
tax of three-fourths of a cent per
pound on all potatoes sold in excess
Of national allotment after Decem-
ber /, 1885.
Congress, however, failed to pro-
vide funds for administration Of Ti-
lie II. Until the matter Of funds is
definitely settled II is doubtful II any
definite action will be taken relative
to potato tax.
The Potato Act says Dean c. A.
McCue Of the University Of Della
ware, is of interest to every farmer
in the State OF Delaware who grows
potatoes for market even If the
quantity Is small II should be OF
particular interest to those Della
ware farmers who sell potatoes on
the curb market in Wilmington.
The act probably will be di1icult
to administer and will be particular
y trying in those regions where po-
tatoes are not grown on Q large
commercial scale, but grown in
small lots for local distribution and
sale.
Any potato growersis welcome to
attend the hearing in Washington
On October 3. It would be advisable
II persons in attendance could 80 as
representatives of some particular
organization. as in that number they
VIII be given an opportunity for a
hearing.

and prices have declined about 50
from the top, most recent sales be-
ing at 81 per ton bulk in western
New York. Much of the cabbage
output is being used for kraut at
still lower prices. Cabbage sells gen.
orally about SO per ton lower than
last year A few lots of Danish type
cabbage have been moving but mar
ket for this stock is not yet estab-
lished. Production of the short
keeping varieties of late cabbage is
apparently per cent more than last
season and 20 per cent above aver
age, but production Of late cabbage
may be Is per cent smaller than last
year according to September 1st re-
port. Favorable weather may have
increased the yield.
Celery prices have geen declining
although production Of the late crop
is expected to be One-fifth smaller
this season and One-fOurth less than
average.
Apple Season Late
The apple market season has been
slow getting under way and few
sales have been reported except in
Virginia and West Virginia. The
early carloads Of main crop varie-
ties shipped from Western New York
have come mostly for export and for
canning. Even the Wealthy, leading
fall variety, is still little immature.
Demand in the Shenandoah Valley
has been fairly good for export
sources but there was little domestic
interest in the market. Grimes
moved slowly at zoe to soc bushel.
Sizes of this variety are running
large and the small sizes are in fair
ly good demand. JOnathans sold
mostly at $1.2O to $1.3O. There was
some selling of YOrks for future de-
livery at $3.50 to 49, About half the
JOnathans had been picked by the
middle of the month and most of the
Delicious were expected to be har-
vested by the end of September
Most Of the York and Staymans will
be picked in October. The apple
season is a little late in the East and
Middle West.
Prices are much the same in all
sections reporting. Sales of barrel
pack range from $2.4O to $3.25 and
basket pack Csc to SIPS. Early sales
of JOnathans in the Pacific North
west ruled SOC for extra fancy. Brit
ish markets have been quoting fair
ly steady prices ranging mostly Sc
to 81 a barrel but supplies from the
United States and Canada are in
creasing.
Supplies of peaches have been fair
ly liberal for the season in eastern
cities but show wide range of quality
and condition. There is much fruit
selling around 81 a bushel although
best lots bring 50 or more. Sales Of
good Elbertas in eastern producing
sections were around 81.
Pears sell at fairly steady prices
from S1.25 to 50 a bushel in eastern !
and midwestern cities. Sales in |
eastern and mid-western producing
sections range 81 to $1.5O for Bart
let's. Eastern and mid-western |
grapes are quoted from zoe to 30c |
per 12-quart basket in numerous city |
markets. Varieties are mostly Con- !
eerd, Champion, and Niagara. Crab |
apples have been selling from 81 to |
b1.75 a bushel in several leading /
markets. The cantaloupe market |
mas shown some declines resulting /
rom poor demand during cool /
weather. Trade in HOneydews also
las been dull and lower prices have
been reported since the middle of the /

mother might consider unimportant.
Much has been done during the
past several years to educate and
aid expectant mothers and infants,
with the result that Delaware has
moved up from 37th in rate of infant
mortality to 29th, with a rate of so
infant deaths per thousand live
births, as compared to So for the
whole United States. 1t is the hope
Of the State Board of Health, with
the aid of Federal allOtments, to
bring about as material a reduction
in maternal mortality as has been
attained in infant mortality.

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Shipment of leading kinds Of fruits
and vegetables have been showing
the usual September gains since the
arrival Of more favorable marketing
weather. Current carlot movement
is not far from that of late Septem-
ber last year. Recent increases in
clude such leading lines as potatoes,
onions, cabbage, sweet potatoes, ap-
pies and grapes. Peaches and mel
ons decreased sharply but still move
in larger quantities than year ago.
Celery and lettuce decreased in re-
spOnse to lower prices.
Large city markets report supplies
OF many lines in excess Of demand.
Prices have been somewhat more
steady since the middle Of the month,
after the preceding general declines.
Most fruits and vegetables are fairly
steady at present but changes are
mainly downward. Nearly the whole
list except onions is lower than a
year ago. Local supplies are heavy,
placing distant shippers at a disad-
vantage.
Potato Market Weak
Much OF the early September ad-
vance on potatoes was lost by the
middle Of the month on renewed ae-
tivity in eastern producing sections.
Current shipments are at the rate
of about 400 cars daily, about one
half Of them from Idaho, Minnesota.
Maine and New Jersey. Prices at
country shipping points remain close
to zoe for sacked stock i'm New Jer-
sey and the Middle West. Growers
were getting around SOC for bulk
stock. Sacked potatoes sell from
40c to 60c in Maine and the far West.
Eastern cObblers have been selling
at 75c to 81 per 100 pounds in east
ern markets. Mid-western markets
range SOC to $1.10 on this class OF
stock. Chicago market has been
nearly steady since the middle OF
September Prices are lOc to zoe
lower this year in most producing
sections, despite the smaller pro-
duction indicated.
Sweet potatoes were declining
rapidly the first half of September
and the market is still weak. Bar
rel pack in Virginia and Maryland
producing sections at $l.25 to $1.35
sells at half the price of year ago.
Bushel pack sells at soc to soc in
eastern markets and barrels mostly
$3.50 to 50. Mid-westeTn markets
have shown only slight further de-
clines lately.
Onions Slightly Lower
Trend of the onion market has been
slightly downward since the sharp
advances during the first half Of the
month. Shipment increased in re-
Spouse to the higher prices but mar
kets have held reasonably well at a
level aboat-.ile- -.beloW top prices-ll
Demand. is slow in western New York
producing sections. Most OF the |
crop here, as in other onion districts, |
is running to smaller sizes and the !
large onions are in demand for stor

ments of New York onions have been |
