WRECK ON THE
DELAWARE RAILROAD

On May 10, a train of freight
cars ran off the drawbridge at
Laurel. The anniversary of that
wreck was marked by an exactly
similar accident at the drawbridge
over the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal about two miles south Of
Kirkwood. Monday evening a
heavily ladened north bound freight
train, No. 20, was making rapid
time in an endeavor to reach Kirk
wood and clear south bound pas
senger train, No. 81, due there at
7.31. At 7.20 when it was too dark
to see a red flag, and yet not dark
enough for red lantern to show
at its best, Tuchston, the engineer,
saw the danger signal within half
a mile of the draw. He blew for
brakes, but it is slightly down
grade at that part of the road.
Somehow" he said, ''the brakes
didn't hold. She slowed up, but not
in time. told the fireman to jump.
l stayed aboard myself until with

slowly the engine went over" Pas
senger train No. 81, passed Kirk
wood and ran to within 300 feet of
the draw. She was stopped by the
danger signal, and picking up the
conductor, backed to Kirkwood,
and wired news of the wreck to
Clayton. The passengers had to
wait until the track could be clear
ed and the draw worked They got
off from Kirkwood about 2 o'clock
Tuesday morning. When the
freight train rushed into the open
draw, six canal barges were going
through. Three had passed. The en-
gine and wrecked cars piled up on
the fourth which was loaded with
roal In the cabin of the fifth
barge, which was within a few feet
of the one sunk by the wreck, We're

Though there were no lives lost,

SMALL PUMPKIN
TO BE TESTED
New Variety Is Just Large
Enough for One Pie; Ready
For Harvest Early
FLAVOR NOT IMPAIRED

A small pumpkin, large enough
for just one pie, has ben developed
at the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture field station at Cheyenne,
Wyoming. Called Early Cheyenne,
the new pumpkin is only two to
four inches in length and from five
to seven inches in diameter ac-
cording to w. H. Phillips of the
Department of Horticulture in the
University of Delaware's School Of
Agriculture, who is planning to
test the new pumpkin variety in
Delaware.
The Department of Agriculture
workers have tested the Early
Cheyenne in pies and report that
Smyrna times., 1940-05-23

in flavor and other characteristic
it is equal to the popular CONNER
cial variety, New England Pie
from which it originated. In trial
plots at the Wyoming station
Early Cheyenne was ready for har-
vest one to two weeks before the
earliest strain of New England Pie
and from two to three weeks be-
fore an early strain of Connection
Field, another popular pie variety
One of the main reasons for de-
velopment of the new, smaller
pumpkin is the practice followed
by many homemaker of cutting
an ordinary sized pumpkin, using
only part of it for pie, then find
ing that the remainder of the
pumpkin goes stale when an at
tempt is made to save it. Some
homemakers have canned the IN
used parts of the pumpkins but
this means good bit Of trouble
unless food-preserving equipment
is already being used at the time
the pumpkins are cut.
Early Cheyenne is a heavy bear
er. Tests at the U. S. Department
of Agriculture station showed that
Early Cheyenne averaged about
nine fruits to vine; commercial
New England Pie, about five
fruits; and Connecticut Field
about three fruits. In storage
Early Cheyenne keeps about as
well as the other two varieties.
Mr.. Phillips says that the Depart
ment of Agriculture has released
Early Cheyenne seed in small
quantities to commercial dealers.

ket gardeners is not available.
