Plan Berry Harvest
Directors OF the Washington
Farmers Products Control Board,
Inc, discussed berry harvests for
the coming season at this weeks
meeting.
General opinion was that the
harvest on sour varieties of red
rsspberries should begin about the
middle of June with Cuthberts
coming q few days later. This,
however, In based on favorable
weather conditions. 1t was point
ed out by one member who has
raised berries for 35 years, that
there IL always q chance Of frost
until late May. Ali members were
agreed that there will be no
bumper crop this year. This Is
due TO the fact that many fields
show canes which have not fully
and that due to poor
prices during the past seasons
some fields have been taken out.
Prices are still problematical
with all sorts Of offers being made
by buyers and many growers re-

HORSE SHOW TO
BE HELD IN MAY
New Trophies and Events to
Lend Attraction to Whining
ton Show on May %, "a, 25
HELD ON ROOD ESTATE

Horse shows will be quite the
pleasure place this season, for with
the many scheduled, Wilmington's
committee have favored the ex-
hibitors to proceeding shows on the
summer circuit by advancing their
dates to May %, "a, 25. This
seasons well filled program has
turned the scenic Rood estate
Meadows on the Brandywine" into
an air of anticipation for the three
day meet. Elaborate plans have
been formulated, which are sure to
lend an attraction to the many ex-
hibitors, particularly with the in
clusion of new events on the itin-
erary Of this all Hunter and Jump
er Show. Competition is to be
rough going for this year Will
mington offers so Hunter, and
Jumper classes with trophies, and
prize money totaling $4,000. This
includes the top class of the show,
the $1,000 Hunter Stakes, with an
all time low entry fee of $25.00.
The usual $500 Open Jumper stakes
will again be on the schedule, with
the new $3.50 Working Hunter
stakes class which promises to be
very popular. Another event which
is an entirely new innovation to the
horse show world is the Owner
Breeder" class open only to horses
owned and exhibited by their breed
ers, and devoted to one year olds,
and up. Three, and four year olds
will jump three feet six inches,
while older entries must jump four
feet. The appearance Of this class
in the Wilmington prize list is the
result of John Garvan Cavanugh's
interest in such owners. Although
from New York City, he has select
ed the Wilmington Horse Show as
the most appropriate event al
which to introduce his class, anC
has offered a Challenge Trophy fol
the winner. Social affairs in con-
junction with the show have beer

ed that if the program is carried
out it will place Delaware AMONG
the foremost states in the care of
handicapped children. Some hand
icapped children, said DR.. Wallin
can be restored to normal and some
can be greatly improved. There
are others who are very little i'm

special work remains entirely IN

said that many handicapped chill
dren possess special abilities, which
if developed can help them support

CHILD BENEFIT
DRIVE URGED
DIR. ]. E. w. Wallin, State Ed
ucation Director, Tells Need
of System to Aid Youths
ADDRESS 600 TEACHERS

Educational work among handi-
capped children should be quad
rupled in Delaware, DR.. j. E. w.
Wallin, state director of special ed
ucation, said at the annual meeting
of the Ne wCastle County Educa
ton Association in the Alexis 1. du-
Pont School. The meeting was at
tended by about 600 teachers from
all rural schools of New Castle
County. There are now 92S chill
dren receiving that special care,
DR.. Wallin said, and there are prob
ably 1000 children in this state
handicapped to the extent that
their cases merit special attention.
If the State Board of Education
has not sufficient funds to carry
out this program it should request
additional money from the State
Legislature, DR.. Wallin said.
Among the needs for this program,
DR.. Wallin listed travelling teachers
to do special work in small schools,
special equipment for teaching par
TALLY sighted children and partially
deaf children, and 20 to 25 cen
ters outside Wilmington in which
special work can be done. DR.. Wal
lin recommended that the State

ers, sneak thieves, gangsters or just
plain thugs. They present no dis
turbing parallel with the innermost
thoughts of the reformers, so they
get medical attention. good food,
occupational therapy and lots of
attention.
The plain truth, according to Mr..
Harrington, is that the average per-
son has many of the potentialities
of the inmates of those places of
horror, insane asylums. The ones
who stay out are the ones who are
lucky enough to possess safety
valves that don't get stuck, or
enough mental or spiritual strength
to avoid becoming too unbalanced.
If a man or woman or child is
stricken with physical illness, the
usual reaction is to instantly try to
obtain medical aid to correct the ILL
ness; if a man or woman or child is
stricken with mental illness, in a
great many cases the answer is con-
finement. In other words, stick them
out of sight until they die. Science
has advanced amazingly in the
treatment of mental disorders, in
effecting complete cures of mental
illnesses. Yet the institutions where
these cures should be made have a
harder, much harder fight to obtain
one dollar for every three to five
spent in the prisons.

STATE SEES ANNUAL ECLIPSE
VIII Not Occur Again Until 1894;
Greater TOtality in Lower State

Delaware was treated to solar
spectacle a few minutes after 5 p.
m. Sunday when the sun staged a
blackout known to science as the
annual eclipse. In northern Della
ware the eclipse was between go
and SO per cent complete with the
lower state witnessing a 20 to 79
per cent totality. The word "an-
nular" comes from the Latin word
annulus" meaning ring" and
even in the best spot to witness the
eclipse across the southern part
of the country from Florida to the
West Coast-the sun will throw a
ring Of fire around the moon. Sun
day was the last chance to see this
daytime phenomenon until 1894,
the next time it occurs in the Unit
ed States. Important cities in the
150-mile wide central zone of this
eclipse We're San Antonio, Austin
and Houston, Tex, Baton Rouge
and New Orleans, La, and Talla-
hassee and Jacksonville, Fla. The
ring Of fire lasted from four to six
minutes, an unusually long period
for any kind of solar eclipse.

FERTILIZER SUPPLIES
ASSURED DESPITE WAR

In contrast to the acute shortage
of fertilizer materials suffered at
the beginning Of the last European
war, the present purchasing season
for fertilizer finds the country pre-
pared with adequate supplies for
this years crops.
"At the beginning of the last
World War an immediate deficiency
of nitrogen carriers occurred. J"
said Charles J. Brand, Executive
Secretary and Treasurer of The
National Fertilizer Association.
There was an almost total absence
of potash. Although there was
plenty Of phosphate rock, there was
shortage Of sulphuric acid needed
to make superphosphate.
"When war disrupted shipping
from 1914 to 1918, nitrogen mate
rials for fertilizer became scarce.
as we We're once bound to Chile
for nitrates," said Mr.. Brand. "To-
day, we not only have adequate
shipping service from Chile, but
our country is the third largest pro
ducer of synthetic nitrogen in the
world, and the largest producer Of
ammonium sulphate. The shortage
of sulphuric acid during the last
war was due to the heavy require
ments of munition manufacturers
for processing their goods. I'm
proved methods Of munition makers
no longer require sulphuric acid.
This leaves an adequate supply for
use in making superphosphate.
"In 1914 we were entirely de-
pendent upon Germany for potash.
Today, we produce at home over
so per cent of the potash we use
and have sufficient reserves to care
for our entire needs. In addition
to this, French, German, Palestin-
ian, and Spanish potash are avail
able"
Prices farmers pay for fertilizer
are now lower than before the
World War; prices they pay for all
commodities average 229o higher.

ELEMENTS of design, even when
II used in opposite directions. can
often be brought together harmoni-
ously and effectively, and in good
taste, too. William Pahlmann
demonstrates this quite aptly in the
new rooms at Lord & Taylor, Fifth
Avenue, in which marbleized fabrics
set new notes in decoration.
Using a photograph of a foot
board of an early 10Th century bed
as the design of the wallpaper, a
sitting room-boudoir idea developed
from this simple but very elegant
effect of gold and white striped
walls. The scheme, a Beidermeier
setting, started with settee and
a pair of chairs, Louis XIV period,
in a darkish green color. A Bess-
arabian carpet found its place. Pink
was added to the ceiling of the
room and also in two small leather
chairs. A round, low puff in green
velvet, accentuated gaiety in the
room; and finally, fine old mantel,
tiny gilt tables from Chinese porce-
lain placques. good Victorian man
tel ornaments gave an unstilted
glow to this unusual setting.
In a background of marbleized
effect, Pahlmann sets his dining
room. In rather gay end amusing
fashion, he uses old chairs up
holstered in heavy marbleized
