Reports From Delaware and Eastern
Shore Counties for the Past Week.
Weather and crop reports from Della
ware and Eastern Shore counties for
The week ended September 10Th, as fur
nished the Maryland State Weather Ser
vice, are as follows;
GREENSBORO, CAROLINE CouNTY.-
The much needed rain came on Tues
day night. The weather has been favor
able for all kinds of farm work, but
more rain is needed to prepare fallow
ground for seeding wheat Fodder
about saved in good condition and farm
work well advanced. A. y. Roe.
DENTON, CAROLINE CoUNrY.-The
rain on Tuesday and Wednesday night
was much needed, and helped late toma-
toes; but there was not enough to en-
able the farmers to finish their blowing
for wheat. Late pasture was also bene-
fitted by il. 1t is now dry and warm.
Farmers are busy getting corn land
ready for seeding, which will begin next
week. +, 9, RAMsDEII.
EAsToN, TALBOT COUNTY light
rains of the past week have been insult
ticient to put the soil in condition for
properly preparing for wheat seeding
Many acres, intended for fallow, will go
implanted. G. w. MINNIcK.
CAMBRIDGE, DORCHESTER County,
The weather for the past seven days has
been all that could be desired for gen
eral farm work, although not enough
rain fell to plow heavy land. Many
farmers are preparing their fallow
ground expecting to seed about the last
of the month. Nights very cool with
heavy dews. CHARLES S. JACKSON.
CoRNERsvILLE, DORCHESTER CouN-
TY.-We had another cool, dry week.
Nice shower, last Tuesday, made the fall
low ground work we'll, but not enough
rain fell to break up that which was not
fallowed. Fodder nearly all saved, and
corn being cut preparatory to seeding
wheat on the same ground. About two
thirds OF tull crop of corn.
j. NJ. BECKwITH.
SALISBURY, WIcoMICo CoUNTY.-The
copious rain which fell last Tuesday was
refreshing to the growing crops, being
the longest rain in Wicomico for six
months; there not having fallen one inch
of rain, atany one time since April, be-
fore last Tuesday. Fallow blowing is
all the rage now, and in few days
wheat seeding will be in full blast
LEMuEL MALONE.
BARRON GREEK SPRINGS, WIcoMrco
CoUNTY.-The past week has been a
continuation Of the past, l. e., no rain,
cool nights, and hot suns that have been
favorable to fodder saving but against
all crops, especially the seeding of tur-
nips and clover. Many deferred the
sowing lest the hot suns would prevent
the termination of the seed. Corn shows
very irregular in yield on land appar-
emily the same and cultivated alike.
Nothing but gathering can settle the
amount grown.
ALBERT Il. ACwoRTH.
MILFORD, KENT COUNTY, Della
WHARF.-The showers of Tuesday after
noon and Wednesday have been great
benefit to maturing crops, and have, to
some extent, enabled farmers to plow.
We need much more rain.
j. Y. FoULK.
KrRKwooD, New CASTLE County,
DELAWARE We had two rains during
the past week, which caused many
farmers to start blowing, although it is
yet too dry. Corn is being harvested,
and crop is good in some places, while
in others it is very poor.
