The Peach Season Closed.

With the SmOck variety the season
partically closed this week. The Sal
way, Picketts, Bilyeu's and other late
varieties have been an utter failure
throughout the county. A few weeks
ago the orchards that promised thou
sands of baskets of the varieties named
will not yield a single basket of mar
ketable fruit They have all rotted up
on the trees. This, with the failure to
properly mature of other varieties, re-
duces the crop in Kent far below the
estimates made before the opening Of
the season. The causes for this can
only be surmised. The general Opin-
ion is that the heavy dews and hot
suns III connection with the severe
drouth which followed the excessive
rains of the early summer did the dam
age. Taken altogether the season has
been q very unsatisfactory one to most
of the growers in Kent, more from the
fact that the financial results are so far
below their expectations and the bright
promise of the opening season. Some
growers will not realize enough from
their sales to pay the expense of pick
ing and marketing. One Of the last
shipments OF large grower was seven
hundred baskets of Smock to Baltimore
which netted four and a-half cents per
basket, to say nothing of the cost of
picking and baskets. These results
have had tendency to discourage
those who have planted out extensive
orchards within the past year or Two
and others who have arranged or are
arranging to do the same in the near
future. Immense numbers of young
trees will be coming into bearing in a
year or two not only in Kent but in all
other sections of this peninsula, on the
Western Shore, i'll New Jersey, Virginia
and in the Western States, and our
growers are questioning whether this
extensive cultivation Of the peach will
not render the crop nOn-paying one
in the near future.-Kent Ne1Cs.
