Cropping System whIsh Rsvoiutionizss
Old Methods-what is Likely to Take
the Place OF the Dethronsd Peach.
CHEsTERTowN, Feb. 2e The Stll
Pond Farmers Club, at ita last meeting.
proposed n change Of the cropping sys-
TEN, which, II introduced, will revolu.
tionize old methods.
Vast numbers OF peach trees have been
dug up this winter because OF the In.
roads OF the yellows. the peach crops
uncertainty and the poor prices that
result whenever full crop Is produced.
As a natural result Of this report came
a discussion Of the kinds Of fruit which
will probably take the place OF the de.
throned peach.
The all absorbing topic Of tomatoes
naturally drifted upon the attention Of
the farmers, and the subject Of the best
method for growing tomato plants was
discussed.
The advisabilIty Of raising cornheld
beans was discussed, but II was deter
mined that though In New York from
thirty TO forty bushels could be raised
per acre. not half the Iquantity oould be
raised In Kent, and the crop was de-
clared poorly suited to Kent. Lima
beans we're considered more profitable.
Mr.. Shallcross stated that oucumbers
for pickline would bring 10 cents per
hundred, and II would be possible for
the members Of the club TO dispose OF
the product OF 100 acres. This crop will
be Investigated, and the probabilities
are that an acreage OF cucumbers never
before dreamed Of In Kent county will
be the result.
The committee, consisting Of q mum.
ber Of the most practical aud extensive
fruit.groweTs OF the coanty, appointed
to make list Of the kinds and varieties
Of fruits best adapted to the needs Of
the Kent county grower, made the follow
ing report;
Strawberries Wilson's Albany, Sharp
less. Bubach No. 0, Crescent
Black aspberriea-Souhegan.
Red Raspberries-Ou Turner.
Blackberries--Ea Harvest, Wilson's
Early.
GooseberrIes Hebron, Downing.
Cherrles-Early Richmond.
Grapes-Niagara, Concord.
Apples-Early Sweet Bough, Red Astra-
chan, Early Ripe. Maiden Blush, Folly

IN THE CITY MARKETS.

Eatablss Are I'm Good Condition and
Low in Price e-COnsequsntIy the Farmer
IL Out sf Countenance.
The markets In various parts Of the
city were we'll filled this morning, owing
no doubt, 10 the fine weather Farmers
are somewhat out Of countenance over
the lew prices Of vegetables az compared
with this season Of last year. when cold
snap carried prices up by making 1t hard
20 keep a stock in good condition.
In poultry the prices average about
the same, chickens selling at from 80 to
so cents and large turkey bringing about
$780,:
Fresh country butter is lower by 10
cents per pound this year that 1t WAS
last. Then It sold at 35 and 40 cents per
pound. The farmers say that the use Of
creamery butter and oleomargarine is
responsible for tho fall in piices.
There are styles and fads In fruit, as
in other things. Last year the banana
iourished, this year it's the orange.
They are not only plentiful and cheap,
but Of splendid quality.
A box Of $50 oranges will bring $i75.
while one containing l75 sells for $2.OO
and s. 25. The man who cries "cheepa
banans" sells them at from 10 to 20 cents
per dozen.
Shad have made their appearance in
the markets and are bringing 65 cents
for buck shad, while large roe shAd
sells at $l.25.
The rush Of Delaware fishermen for
down the bay does not take place until
the latter part of March, when the Al
rival Of "fresh Delaware shad" will bring
out the ash peddler with his horn and
brszen lungs and prices will take a
/ tumble.
Oysters are plentiful and cheap, not
withstanding the oyster war which wages
so hotly between the Maryland and vlr-
ginia dredgers and which the croaker
predicted would place oysters cut Of the
reach of the poor nau. Instead Of this
condition Of things. the workman Is car
rying oysters In his dinner pail during
/ the Lenten season.

WAR ON GAMBLING MACHINES.
Their Establishments to Remove Them
at Once in order TO Avoid Trouble.

Orders TO All Persons Having Them In
Their Embellishments to Remove Them
at Once in Order TO Avoid Trouble.
Chief of Police Dolsn has issued orders
to the police officers to notify the pro-
prietors of places where slot machines Of
the gambling order are to be found to re-
move them at once.
The chief has been considering the
matter for some time and laid the matter
before City Solicitor Elliott, who gave
the opinion that under the law Of the
state the machines In which there is only
a chance of winning, or where a person
dropped In a coin in expectation Of get.
ting a premium, were violations, and
that the men having such machines in
their possession and operating them were
violating chapter 454, volume 2 Of the
Laws of Delaware, which reads:
THAT IL any person or persons shall
keep or exhibit gaming table, faro bank.
sweat cloth, roulette table or other device
under any denomination, at which cards,
dice or any other game of chance is
played for money or other things of
value or shall be partner or concerned
in or interested in the keeping or exhib-
iting such table, bank, sweat cloth or
other device, he, she or they shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined
not less than 800 nor more than 81, 900,
and in default OF the payment thereof,
shall bs imprisoned for term of not
less than one month or more than twelve
months
The decision does not affect the weigh
ing and boot backing machines or the
nickle-in the slot phonograph
City Solicitor Elliott this morning
said that he was acting under the in
struction and by the permission Of At
torney General Nicholson in regard tC
these machines. Theicraze for them seem'
to have struck che city instantly. NJ
attention was paid to them as Ions
as cigars were the only pr re, bui
when money was put in them as al
inducement, the attention of the attor
ney- y-general was called to the fact, ant
after a consultation between Messrs
Nicholson, Giles and Elliott, 1t was
decided to instruct Chief Of Police Dollar
to warn all persons having the machines
in their establishments to remove then
at once. Failure to do this will result
in their arrest ard prosecution.
