THE EXTENT OF THE oRoP-THE PROSPECTS OF
THE GROWERS.
The Smyrna Times says to form an idea OF the
extent OF the strawberry crop one has but to Visit
our railway stations. 1t partakes more or the
magnitude of the peach shipments. 80 large has
II grown. Two years ago carload per day from
Brenford, then our only shipping point. was 9
wonder to our citizens, and last year car load
per day from Brenford and Clayton respectively
was a still greater surprise but on Monday last
three carloads were sent from Brentord, four
from Clayton, and three from the Md. u Del. road,
making ten cars from this locality alone. Three
trains, one of as. one of ~, and one Of ~ cars,
passed up the road that day. Yesterday the
shipments were not so heavy. We make these
comparative statements to give our readers some
IDEA of the increase of the crop each year.
The growers are somewhat blue at the re-
suits and the outlook The price ranges from
10 to Is cents per at. IN New York, which IS low;
while the continued drought and the dreaded
glut are all the time adding to tho anxiety. I'm
less rain comes shortly the fruit will dcy up and
not be worth shipping. It takes about cts per
qt to pay actual shipping expenses-plcking,
freight and commission.

,L,r,c,.rI.,ic. Of Ruali.h Women

English women are very thorough and pactical
domestic managers. They surpass our women
in this respect. They are more steady, regular
and Systematic. This ia due partly to the So
cal conditions. They are less variable in energy
and feeling and the fixed circumstances OF their
life give them fixed habits. They go on With the
WORK and in the surroundings to which they
were born. They do what they always have seen
done. and In the way they have always seen II
done, Az there are no experiments to be
made there are few chances for mistakes.
