Take the parts books necessary

some two million parts for the

All told, the so parts books and

Polly Drurnnond At
Del. Park Tomorrow
Rich Race Carries A Purse OF
$20,0OO.OO

If you are familiar with your
American history, you'll know how
Delaware Parks stakes feature the
coming Saturday-the $4,000 Polly
Drummond-got its name.
Like all headline races at the
Stanton track, the Polly Drum
mond, a five and a half furlong
speed test for 2-year-old fillies, is
appropriately named. Located a
few miles from Delaware Park is
Polly Drummond Hill, one of the
highest points in the first state. 1t
honors the memory of the colonial
patriot. She kept an inn at the
hill which was an underground
station and meeting place for pa
triots- hence the Polly Drummond
Stakes.
With that brief history lesson
taken care of, it might be well to
get on the subject of the race it
self. It will be the 23rd running
of the stake-one of five during the
55-day meeting for juveniles, and
the second restricted to young fill
lies. Three of these dashes for
youngsters in their first year OF
racing were doubled in purse mon
ey this season-the Polly Drum
mond, and two scheduled later; the
$4,000 Christiana, for colts and
geIdings on July 4, and the equally
endowed Dover, open to both sexes,
on closing day, July 30. That final
program will be headed, Of course,
by the worlds richest race for
older fillies and mares, the $150.00O
Delaware Handicap, climax OF the
quarter-million dollar Distaff Big
Three series.
Among the likely choices for the
Polly Drummond is a .'flapper fly

told of their experience in helping
their mother care for the broilers
in the pioneering effort. A daugh-
ter, Mrs. Jean Steele Bunting of
Bishopville, Maryland, cut the Off
cial ribbon.
David Steele, who still lives on
the home farm and who still is a
broiler grower, told of feeding ear
1y broiIer flocks from pail and
wheelbarrOw He contrasted this
method with today's automatic
bulk feeding system that have tax
en- much of the drudgery out OF
poultry feeding. Steele said it took
his mother Is weeks to produce
broiler weighing 315 pounds. To-
day he sends much higher quality
birds to market weighing 4 pounds
in 10 weeks. Research and good
management deserve the credit for
this amazing increase" he said.

coined the Festival visitors to Sell

guests including Mrs. Bunting and
the Steels. Webb Cassell of Sal
