Fort Delaware
Society Officers
Renamed to Posts

The meticulous care will
which restoration work is goinl
forward at Fort Delaware wa!
reported recently at the eleven
th annual meeting of the For
Delaware Society, in Whining
ton.
c. Edward Duffy, chairman o.
the Delaware State Park Com
mission, in a prepared state
ment which was read by Com
missioner Robert N. Downs
paid tribute to State Park Su
perintendent Peter Geldof fol
the manner in which he has
proceeded with the work.
All officers of the Society
were reelected. They are Miles
L. Frederick, Wilmington, pres
ident; Colonel Donald L. Duttor
Newark, vice-president; Mrs
Allen G. Schiek, Claymont, Sec
retary; and Mrs. John Ray, Viii
mington, treasurer.
Members of the Board of Di.
rectors are w. Emerson Will
son, chairman; William Prank
Brigadier General Norman N
Lack, and William E. Craven
who replaced Miss Ruthanna
Hindes.
MIR. Duffy related how Mr.
Geldof planned to secure
pressed bricks to match exact
ly those of the hundred year
old Fort so tn at restoration
work would match perfectly.
Mr.. Geldof sought out official.
of the Wilmington Housing Au
thority, who were in the pro
cess of demolishing East side
residences, after he discovered
several of the homes contained
just the bricks he needed.
Not only did he find three
houses on East Sixth, Penn and
Lombard Streets, Wilmington,
but Mr.. Geldof assisted in the
demolition; had 1000 bricks
hauled to his staff headquarters
and cleaned; then had work
men repair fourteen chimneys at
the Fort from the roof up. They
now appear as in their original
state, Duffy reported.
Mr.. Geldof took further pains
by securing white sand in Ber-
lin, New Jersey, for the mortar.
The result, according to MIR.
Duffy, is a perfect match with
the original mortar.
,A Through his supervision, the
State Park Commission was able
to stretch $500 far enough to
repair the chimneys, the bar
racks roof, and the spouting,
and there's enough left to give
the roof three coats of paint
this spring." Mr.. Duffy declared.
He passed along his thanks
to contractors, Robert Haw-
thorne. Philadelphia; Elwood
Skinner, Wilmington; and ]. E.
Workman, Inc, for their coop
Grafton on the project.
I'VE were so pleased with
the results of the brick work
that the Park Commission has
authorized a stockpile of 5000
of them for future restoration
work." Duffy concluded.
The State Park Commission
chairman also promised Soci-
ETY. members that "if the Gen.
eral Assembly is kind to u.s.
further restoration work will be
undertaken during the centen-
nial years. One project on the
agenda is clearing the moat sur
rounding the Fort and having it
become operational again.
In his annual report, MIR. Fred
erick said a $500 contribution
had been received from Tide
water Oil Company in 1860 and
that he could report the same
sum would be forthcoming for
the Society this year as a part
of Tidewater's continuing COM
munity relations program. The
1875 members and friends in at
tendance applauded the an
nouncement.

beth Barrett Browning, containing many of

literary greats as Wordsworth, Brougham and
Sydney Smith.
Baskerville Bible in the Peal collection
has what is considered by experts to be the
finest title page in the English language
In line with his interest in gardening
Mr.. Peal has gathered several sets of books
on botany. Sowerby's English Botany" pub
liShed between 1890 and 1914, is illustrated by
hand-colored engravingS.
Curtis's Botanical Magazines, published
from 1887 to 1889, and Philip Miller'S Garden
Dictionary, issued in 1850, also are illustrated
by colored engravings Flora Londinensis,"
published from 1777 to 1898, lists wild plants
found in the vicinity of London, while "Flore
Des Series Et Des Jardins," book of hand
colored prints of French hothouse and garden
plants, was produced in France in l845.
All these botanical volumes, in addition to
the Browning notebook and other items from
his collections, will be on display today and
tomorrow at Woodburn during the annual
Northern Virginia Garden Tour
Mr.. Peal says he came into book collecting
because of the interest his family had in
books when he was growing up. His interest
in gardening came from his mother, who
probably inherited her love of plants from her
grandfather, a correspondent of the American
bOtanist John Bartram.
This ancestor migrated from Virginia to
Kentucky, where the town ofWingo was named
for him. His name was Jermyn j. Wingo, and
he carried on long correspondence with
Bartram and continued to work in American
botany after the latter'S death

Garden Tour With Books On the Side

wv HUGH PEAL is an avid collector of
we rare books for his library, plants for
his garden and experiences for the journal he
has been keeping since boyhoOd.
AtWoodburn, his country home in LOudoun
County, Va are many of his books, particularly
those dealing with botany, and all his plants
Other books are kept in New York, in his law
office and in his apartment at go Gramercy
place.
So interested is he in books that he would
like to stimulate the pleasures of book col
lecting in others And he has taken a novel
approach to this.
Each year at his old school, the University
of Kentucky, books are made available to stu
dents. Any student who wishes can obtain up
to six Volumes provided he will enter his
library in a national contest
These donations, Mr. Peal says usually
come from library / have bought for the
purpose, filled in with other books from my
own library and the libraries of my friends.
1t is way of getting young people interested
in book collecting"
In addition to these student gifts, Mr.. Peal
has made book donations to his alma mater
and to other universities Included in the
Kentucky grants have been several thousand
volumes of H. M. TomlinSon, volumes of his
torical French grammar and French memoirs.
Among Mr.. Peal's most interesting col
lections are those of Charles Lamb and Samuel
Taylor Coleridge. These are among the largest
private collections in the world. He also has
collections of Dickens, Browning, Thackeray,
Lord Chesterfield and Hardy.
In the Browning collection, an item of
uncommon interest is the notebook of Eliza

Alfalfa Varieties
Whether you wish to grow al
falfa for forage or for seed, O
have a wide range of choices
among the varieties recommend
ed for Montana. If you are look
ing for an alfalfa variety for for
&c production, you'll find that the
Grimm variety is a good one. 1t
Is recommended for hay produc-
ton because of its hardness,
quality and wide adaptation to
Montana soil and climatic condi-
tons. A variety that is not only
wlnter+hardy but also resistant to
drought is CoSSack. It's perform
ance is quite similar to Grimm.
Another good variety for forage
is Ladak and it is especially rec
commended for dryland conditions.
1t has been one of the highest
yielding variety on dryland where
only one cutting is usually OBJ
tanned.
Ranger is a newer variety that
is recommended for hay, seed and
pasture paintings. Since it is re-
Sistant TO bacterial wilt, stands
last quite a long while on wilt
infested soils. In yield, Ranger
does not measure UP TO other
recommended varieties.
For those who are interested in
producing alfalfa seed, there are

solely for this purpose in Mon

Prevent Chalky Concrete
Did you ever pour a concrete
slab and have the surface turn
out to be chalky? Engineers say
this is usually caused by either
too much water in the concrete
mix OF by too much troweling
and working of concrete in the
finishing process.
After the concrete has set it is,
of course, too late otsto
of course, too late to stop it from
chalking and you're left with a
dusty floor. However, Eric Will
son, Extension agricultural engi-
neer, says you can reduce the
chalking and in some cases stop
it completely by an application of
water glass. Mix one part of
water glass and four parts of
water and mop or paint it on the
floor. Let it dry about a week
and apply another coat. You'll
also find commercial sealers on
the market which reduce chalk
ing. If you use them, be sure to
follow the directions on the pack
age.
A Farm Safety Tip
Here's a suggestion from the
National Safety Council and the
USDA. Any tool on a farm can
be harmful. So before you get I'M
der way with your spring work,
make sure your machinery is in
safe working order. Hand tools
also need checking for loose han
dies, broken parts and other de-
fleets that might cause a mishap.
Advance planning pays off in both
efficiency and safety.
Food Facts
There is such a myriad of in
formation about foods available
today, it seems to be increasingly
difficult to separate fact from
fancy. However, the estimate of
the American Medical Association
that five hundred million dollars
are wasted annually on food fads
shows a real need for reliable in
formation.
Where can you get this informa-
ton? There r lots of reliable
sources. Publications from col
leges and universities and from
the United States Department of
Agriculture are based on Scien-
tific research, and provide up-to-
date reliable information. Your
doctor, health department, and
publications of the American
Medical Association can give you
the facts you need. If you are in
doubt about food information
