THE BALTIMORE AND DELTA RAILRoAD.--Mr.
j. &. Wrenshall, an eminent and well known en-
gncer of Baltimore, has been examining the line
of the Baltimore and Delta Railway Company
with Mr.. S. q. Boyd, the general Agent of the
Company, the past week He is very much
pleased with the location of the road and is of
the opinion that it will supply Il want that has
been long felt by the section Of the country
through which ii passes. 1t is said that Mr..
Wrenshall is viewing the road in the interests
of capitalists. The needed stimulus to the road
now is for people to pay up their subscriptions
promptly. SO far the company has not gone in
debt, they have met every obligation promptly
and have ample means to continue their work if
people will only pay up. Every dollar laid out
has been spent judiciously and with economy
and it is the purpose of the officers to continue
the same right scrutiny into their contracts and
bargains until the road is completed. But the
great want is money to finish the road and put
it in running order, and subscribers must pay

Rain Fall in ,JuIy.

Until the 18th of the month very little rain had
fallen; in all about 2 of an inch. This, with the
excessive heat, had brought about n drouth as
severe as that of May. On the afternoon of the
18th, in about 40 minutes, there fell 245 inches of
rain, one of the most violent showers lever noted,
IL not the most so.
About half-past one on the morning of the Goth
a shower commenced, which continuing about
three hours, gave 4.02 inches of rain. This was a
terrific shower with vivid and destructive light
ming, and awful thunder The deptho of rain was
greater than in any shower since August 9TH 1872.
be observed that the shower of the 18th, of 40
minutes duration, gave proportionatcly a much
greater depth. The same rate would in three hours
have given more than eleven inches. The roads

PREPARATIONS FOR AN Ice CRoP.-The large
consumption and high prices of ice in the city
of Baltimore have attracted increased attention
to the Susquchanna river as a source of supply.
While the crop there fails about one year out of
three, when the ice docs form sufficiently hard to
be worked, enough can generally be saved to
keep down the price within reasonable limits
and at profit to the dealer Accordingly extern
sivc preparations are being made along the Sus-
quehanna river, in the neighborhood of Hayre de
Grace, for storing the crop which 1t is believed
will be made next winter.
Mr.. John w. Mccoy, of Baltimore, is about
to erect two large ice houses, on Virdin's Wharf,
Perryvillc. Each one will be $50 feet long, 40
feet wide, and 80 feet to the square. Messrs.
Oler u Co. are improving their ice houses,
and Messrs. Frederick Il Son are also about to
erect new ice houses. These, in addition to the
ice houses already along the river bank, will
give the facilities for storing an immense guam
tity of ice, sufficient, one would think, to keep
the city perfectly cool during the hottest sum-
mer.

as to give him Senator BayarD new and
stronger light upon the subject. Such words

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The wheat crop of this
county is being rapidly threshed, and we are
gratifled TO learn that as general thing it is
turning out better than was anticipated. The
yield, however, will not be up to the average
per acre. greater amount of land was seeded
last fall 80 that the total yield of the county
will probably be nearly as much as 1t was last
year.
The largest yield of wheat of which we have
any report this year, is that of Judge Waters,
on his farm at Thomas's Run. From twenty
five acres he has raised 1000 bushels of Fultz
wheat, or 40 bushels to the acre.

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.--Mr. X. b. Mccoy
and other farmers in the neighborhood of Broad
Creek are experimenting again this year in rails
| ing sugar beets. Mr.. Mccoy has shown us two
beets from his patch of two acres. One of them
weighed two and a-half pounds and the other one
pound The larger beet was grown on portion
of the patch where the plants were two feet
| apart; the other where they were eight inches
apart each way. Mr.. Mccoy thinks the latter
distance Is the proper one to secure The largest
yield and best beets. He furnishes the follow
ing estimate in relation to the cultivation of
beets for sugar:
1.-THE beets should be planted eight inches apart
each way. OF course this will require hand cul-
ture, but the cost of cultvating an acre will not
exceed S25. The distance named will allow O.
square inches for each beet There are 6, 272, $40
square inches In one acre, which would give
$500 beets to the acre. With q suitable season
and proper cultivation the beets can be made to
| weigh one pound and ahalf each. The produce
of one acre would therefore be l47 0l5 lbs. or 65
tons per acre. The price offered by the Will
mington Sugaf Beet Company, for the beets de-
livered on the cars, is IS per ton. Thus each
| acre could be made to yield the sum of 1926"
The profit of beet culture, Mr.. Mccoy says,
depends upon the proximity of the grower to a
to embark in the business unless he can haul at
least two loads day Mr.. Mccoy expects to
raise at least 90 tons to the acre, but he thinks
his crop has not been planted thick enough on
the ground. He recommends the sowing of a
sufficient amount of seed to ensure stand of
beets eight inches apart. The varieties grown
by him this year are white Silcsia and purple
sugar. The seed were imported by the Patent
Office from Germany, and are recommended as
the best. Besides Mr.. Mccoy, Messrs. Robert
Love and James Whiteford, of Broad Creek. have
each planted small crops, by way of experiment.
Several farmers in the neighborhood of Hayre de
Grace, including Messrs. j. Henry Greenway and
Ney Carroll, have also crops ofsugar beets under
cultivation. The latter planted four acres
The difficulty in the way of success is the ex-
pensc of getting the beets to the factories, the
nearest one being that at Wilmington, Del. 1t
is believed that the results this year will demon
strate that the business will pay, and 1t is
thought that capital can be raised to establish a
beet sugar factory at Havre de Grace. The lands
about IIavre de Grace and through the Neck, in
the lower part of Hartford, are admirably adapted
to growing large crops of beets of the highest
sugarproducing qualities, and with the advan-
tage of proximity to the railroad leading to
Havre de Grace, n factory there could be abund-
antly supplied with the raw material. 1.-THE es-
innate made by Mr.. Mccoy can be even approx
mated beet sugar culture would appear to OFFER
in the Necks, at least, more remuneratlye results
than corn.
