Outlook For Peaches

1t was estimated at the Of
flee of the State Board of Ag-
riculture in Dover, a few days
ago, that the Delaware peach
crop this summer will amount
to between 500 and 600 car
loads. This is regarded as a
good yield.
Half a century ago the av-
erage seasons shipment of
peaches over the Delaware
railroad aggregated between
5000 and 1000 car loads. In
1882, which is believed to
have been the peak year of
the last six decades, more
than 5000 car loads were
handled. The best year of

Pasture Pays Dividends

A breating spell for pasture
pays good dividends in more
forage and better gains in
weight of cattle, according to
tests by the Bureau of Amin
al Industry at the Ardmore
field station, Ardmore, S.Dak.

all, so far as available stats
tics show, was 1875, when the
marketed output exceeded g.
900 cars.
Peaches hauled over the
Delaware railroad came from
the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, as well as from Della
ware. The bulk of the crop,
however, usually was from
Delaware farms.
In the SOS, '70c, and '8Os a
large percentage of Delaware
farmers specialized in peach
es. Fruit grown in this state
and ON the Eastern Shore was
eagerly sought. There was
little competition. Now, how
ever, New Jersey and other
states are sharing the East
ern peach .market-which in
cludes the metropolitan area
with Delaware and the
Eastern Shore.
A quarter of a century ago
Delaware peach culture was
at a low ebb. Orchards all
over the state had been affect
ed by blight. Hundreds of
acres of trees were destroyed.
Eventually, h viewer, the
blight disappeared. New or
chards were planted, and the
business was reestablished,
although on a limited scale.
Because of the competition,
however, the demand for the
Delaware product is not as
heavy as it was formerly.
The reduction in the peach
growing acreage, perhaps, is
a good thing for Delaware.
1t has resulted in more varied
crops, and crop diversification
means a more stable income
for the farmer. - Morning

Better Chances For Grads"
Exceedingly good n e W S
awaits the college graduates
of 1886. University depart
mental heads, who usually
have advance information on
possible jobs for senior stu
dents in their departments
find more jobs are open for
them than at any other time
since 1881.
Agriculture, industry and
business are looking for col
lege graduates this year.
Many business and industrial
organizations have been fac
ed with a gap in their person
mel forces because of depres-
sion economics. AS a result,
not only are there four times
as many requests for college
graduates this year as in

Smyrna Needs Factories

With every advantage as to
location and Smyrna home
town pride, the wonder is
that more industries do not
locate here. True we have a
busy underwear and shirt
factory and a factory for the
making of dairy cooling cab
inets, but we need more. The
old Hoffecker cannery needs
to be operated not only for
canning tomatoes, but to be
made an industry for canning
other products as well-an all
year industry. Convenient as
Smyrna is to rail, boat and to
truck service over Delaware's
splendid dual highway, live
industries could be promoted
and fostered here as advant-
ageously as any town on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. Our
Smyrna Business Mems Asso-
citation is constantly on the
job of investigating all inquir-
les. The towns need is for
worthwhile industries. Let
us hope Smyrna will be for
tunate in securing one.

Commencement Aftermath

commencement AIIerHfdIn
The Board of Education,
Supt. C. w. w. Schantz and
his staff of teachers are re-
ceiving many compliments on
the manner and efficiency in
which the Commencement
Exercises and Rededication of
the John Bassett Moore High
School of Smyrna was held.
The occasion will go down in
history as a memorable one.
The Hon. John Bassett Moore
of Sapagonac, Long Island,
New York, Smyrna's distin-
guished native born in whose
honor the Smyrna school is
named, came here to take
: part in the exercises and the
warm greeting that was ex-
tended him, typical of the
way Smyrna does things, was
genuine and sincere. Judge
Moore gave a scholarly ad-
dress full of historical data
about himself and Smyrna
and the busy life he had had
in his notable and successful
career. In turn Judge Moore
seemed much impressed with
the fine school building named
in his honor and of the cor
dial reception the people of
Smyrna and Delaware gave
him. He took time to visit
the home where he was born
(now owned by Mrs. Margaret
Wilds Grimm) and all day
long he was filled with men,
ories of the older people of
Smyrna and Kent County as
he visited the scenes of his
nativity and his youth.
The Commencement Exer-
cises, having to do with the
awarding of diplomas to the
class of 1886, the largest
class to go out in the history
from our schools was of an
exceptional order, from the
preaching of the Baccalaur-
cate sermon at the School
auditorium by Rev. Frederick
Marx Barton, until the close
of the festivities on Wednes-
day. The Class Night frolic
was one of the best arranged
of any ever given and made a
picture to be remembered as
they were received on the
stage by Miss Winona Skin
ner and Jack Magill after
their informal introduction by
Earl Bradley. The Commence
ment Exercises, aside from
the able address of Hon. John
Bassett Moore, was note
worthy because of the fine es-
says of Warner w. Price, Jr.,
of Smyrna, valedictorian, and
Miss Winona Skinner, Clay
ton, salutatorian. 1t was a
fine commencement and the
wish is that the John Bas-
sett Moore High School of
Smyrna may have many more
such occasions.

Judge Moore on Depression"

In his able address at the
High School Commencement
last week Judge Moore re-
ferred to issues of the present
day. Commenting on this
the Morning News says: "Mr.
Moore spoke without parts
anship. His observations
held the perspective which a
man of broad and active mind
achieves when he has spent
many years in close contact
with the weightiest problems
of economics, governmental land
law.
Economics and financial
depressions," said Mr.. Moore,
ALWAYS have occurred and
they always will occur. They
grow out of human nature. :.
1t always has been and still is
the disposition of human be-
ings, when they are joyful, to
be overenthusiastic; an d
when adversely obliges them
to think of their ills, to be-
come unduly downcast.
'In the former frame of
mind they indulge the illusion
of an ever-increasing, never
ending prosperity; in the lat
ter frame of mind, they are
prone to resort to desperate
measures in order to save
themselves from what at the
moment seems to be irretriev-
able disaster"
''Mr. Moore has confidence
that Americans will not now
"seek their salvation in a sub
versive departure from the
course we have hitherto fol-
lowed and a fundamental
change in our political institu-
tions." He points out that
Gin a real sense, all admins
tration is local. The more
the public authority is CEN
tralized, the more likely it is
to be misled."
''Mr. Moore sees as our
greatest menace "the dema-
gogue who overlooks or seeks
to obscure" the fact that "the
Constitution does not pre-
clude considered change, but
on the contrary expressly pro-
vides for it,
"Mr. Moore speaks with a
perspective that the average
man may find hard to attain.
"But his admonition is well
worth remembering. Eco
nomic storms have come, and
passed, and come again.
Through them all the Ameri-
can system of government,
with the Constitution as its
core, has served us well. It's
outward form has altered
with the passing years, but
its essentials have remained
the same.
1t would be well to count
the cost to American tradi-
tions before we yield to a plea
to drop the old system over
board and take a deceptively
easy shortcut out of our pres
ent difficulties"

Further Climb
In Steel Output
Forecast for 1897
BY the Associated Press.

os TIC hbbOClhteQ fIeb6.
CLEVELAND, December 23.-Steel
circles predicted production in 1897
may exceed 1896 by as much as Is
per cent, barring unfavorable price
conditions and labor controversies.
The forecast was based in part upon
the following factors:
Increased public purchasing power,
undiminished requirements of the au-
tomobile industry. continuation of the
upward trend In the durable goods
field, railroad demands for new equip
ment and requirements and renewed
activity in the gas and oil industries.
A. ]. Hahn, managing editor of the
Magazine Steel, said: steel works are
going into the new year operating at
about 80 per cent and it will not be
surprising if they reach practical ca
pacity early in 1887"
