U. S. Grades. This law became
effective on June 1; however. Mr.
Derickson has been advised that it
will be the policy Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in New York
to consider the months of June and
July as an educational period, dur
ing which an effort will be made to
assist all to meet the requirements
of the act. A large quantity of
fruits and vegetables from Della
ware is shipped into New York
City and other towns and cities in
New York State, and our growers
should make provisions to meet
with the requirements of this law
so as to avoid their products be-
ing held up or seized. The Bureau
of Markets provides official inspec-
tion and certifcation to growers
and shippers of fruits and veget-
ables in Delaware, and suggests
that they take advantage of this
service in order to prevent mis-
branding, especially in view of the
fact that the U. S. Department of
Agriculture is very active at this
time in preventing the shipment OF
misbranded fruits and vegetables
in interstate commerce.

State road three miles north of
Smyrna came near losing his build

Goals that had been emptied with
the ashes unobserved, were blown
by the wind into some litter which
had ignited and was spreading
near the buildings. Mr.. Middleton
and the hands were out in the
field and Mrs. Middleton in the ex-
citement of the situation and in
her effort to give them the alarm
jerked the rope of the dinner bell
so forcibly as to cause It to fall,
fortunately escaping her, but
crushing the fence near her in its

soon on the spot and in time to
arrest the flames before getting

ARTESIAN WE'LL

Centreville has a 250-foot artes-
ian well. The Record says, "It was
interesting to note the strata of
earth the auger passed through.
At the depth of 100 feet a pure
white sand, similar to that on the
shore of the ocean, was struck.
This was easily passed. At the
depth of 200 feet large pieces of
oyster shells were brought to the
surface. At about 225 feet the
white sand was passed and a hard
black sand struck which increased
in blackness until water began to
flow. The water is pure and de-
hghtful for drinking purposes.

president, vice-president, or other
principal officer, if the employer is
a corporations; or 81 responsible
and duly authorized member hav-
ing knowledge of its affairs, if the
employer is a partnership or other
unincorporated organization. Each
return must be acknowledged be-
fore an officer authorized to ad-
minister oaths but if the amount
of taxable wages paid within the
period covered by the return is
$500 or less, the return may be
acknowledged before two disinter-
ested witnesses instead of under
oath. An employee is not consid-
cred to be disinterested witness.
Employers who have been filing
Forms ssh and whose names are
thus on collectors mailing lists, it
was stated, will be furnished with
supply of blank Forms SS-2 and
SS-2a sufficient for their current
needs without the necessity for re-
questing them at collectors offices.
In view of the large number Of en-
ployers to whom the forms must
be furnished, however, it was not
expected that the distribution by
collectors would be completed be-
fore July i, 1887. An employer
who does not receive copies of the
forms by that date should at that
time, but not before, request a sup
ply sufficient for his current needs
from the Office of the collector for
his district. In this connection, it
was pointed out that failure to re-
ceive blank forms will not excuse
employers for failure to file their
returns on time. Severe penalties
are imposed by law for willful fail
ure to file returns or for false or
fraudulent returns. The informa-
tion to be reported on Forms SS-2
and SS-2a should be made up from
the records which every employer
liable for tax under Title VIII of
the Act is required to keep with
respect to all remuneration paid to
his employees after December 81,
1886, for services performed for
him after that date. Such records
must show in regard to each en-
ployee: ID his name, address and
social security account number;
(2) his occupation; (3) the total
amount and date Of each remuner-
alton payment and the period of
services covered by such payment;
(4) the amount of such remunera-
ton payment which constitutes
wages subject to tax; and (5) the
amount of employees tax withheld
or collected with respect to such
payment, and, if collected at a time
other than the time such payment
was made, the date collected. No
particular form is prescribed for
keeping these records. Each en-
ployer must use such forms and
systems of accounting as will en-
able the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to ascertain whether the
taxes for which the employer is
liable are correctly computed and
paid.

FRUIT CULTURE AT
"WOODLAWN". SMYRNA

Col. George w. Cummins, whose
farm "Woodlawn," has been given
for the last quarter of century to
fruit culture, and very profitably
| so, looks upon this year as one of
the worst in prospect he has ever
had. He has ten large cherry trees
that form part of the marginal
shade of his handsome lawn. They
bloomed out never so full before,
and grew to the size of small peas,
when at once they disappeared and
now he does not know that there is
cherry on the whole of them. The
plum trees are a total failure as
are also the apricots. His apple
orchard that has usually been pro-
life has very small showing of
fruit, adm the pear orchard which
covers some ten or twelve acres,
does not promise over a quarter of
crop. The peach crop which at
"Woodlawn" has been almost uni
formly successful if there were
peaches anywhere, is broupht down
now since blossoming time to only
quarter of crop, and he is not
certain where it will stop. But
with the latter crop the Colonel is
having the experience of those
whose trees have been bearing for
three or four yars which are uni
formily this year slim of fruit,
while those whose orchards which
have taken a rest for two years
amid all the discouragements,
promise good crops.
MEET TO ELECT P. E. BISHOP
The Episcopal Convention of Del
aware and Easton (for the Eastern
Shore) which met on the same day
last week were different in the re-
suit in the object before them-the
selection of a Bishop-Easton sue
ceeding after nearly a years trial
in getting the seventh man elected
to the Office to accept. The con-
vention of our State when they
had nearly the requisite number of
votes to elect a candidate, adjourn
ed the convention until December.
The clergyman who came so near
in succeeding to the office was
Prof. Benton of Delaware College.
The vote was doubtless surprise
to all concerned, because since his
residence in the Diocese his time
has been SO completely occupied in
the duties Of his professorship,
that he was but little known in the
ecclesiastical service in the Dio-
cese. The vote was therefore a
high compliment to the Reverend
Professor. Rev. William B. Cor

leo, and who knew Prof. Benton
