MARYLAND AND DELAWARE CROPS
REPORT OF THE U. S. AGRICULTU-
RAJ DEPARTMENT FOR THE
LAST WEEK IN APRIL.

LAST WEEK IN APRlL.
The report of the United States De
partment of Agriculture for April con-
tains the following of the last week OF
that month:
The past week has been wet, cold
and cloudy in the Maryland and Della
ware section. The noteworthy weather
features were those that prevailed on
the 2Sth (ThWsday), when tempera-
lures went to 80 degrees or slightly
above, and a general snowfall occurred.
The cold period lasted through Friday,
but since then temperatures have risen
rapidly toward the normal, and the
closing days of the week were mild and
pleasant. High winds did slight dam
age in the Eastern counties, and hail
was reported from Wicomico, Caroline
and Dorchester counties, and Sussex
county, Delaware.
Farm work was retarded during this
week, and crop growth made but very
little progress. Some slight damage
was done to young growing gardens in
Delaware. Wheat and grass, however,
were improved upon the whole and
are IN very excellent condition. Pas
turage is good Oats are generally in
good condition. Early planted pota-
toes are coming up, and the later va
rieties are being planted. Corn ground
is being rapidly put in condition for
planting, and some corn has been
| planted. More would have been plant
ed, had not the weather and condition
Of the ground been unfavorable
Strawberries and fruit trees are gen
orally in bloom, and the peach and
pear trees are in full leaf in the east
ern counties. Pear trees are unusually
full OF blossoms. Apple trees are In
| full and abundant bloom The reports
| genraliy show that the peach outlook
was not injured by the low tempera-
ture and snow of the past week; il
the mluntain sections they are very
kpromiEing. Tomato seed has been gon
4erally sown, and are coming up nicely
I Peas are looking well. Tobacco plant
fare plentiful and in fine condition
preparations for transplanting are il

THE SEASON
And Some Of lis More Strongly Marked
Characteristics Pumpkins
Plenty

This year is noted for a number of
remarkable things, ID agricultural
lines. The rains were seldom before
SO cop'ous or so well distributed
the season, and as con
sequence fall pasture is finer than 1t
has been known before IN years and
years. This will result in the defer
ring of the commencement OF the use
of any dry feed for stock until much
later in the season. and will save the
farmers in the agar gate thousands o.
dollars. Another remarkable ihing
about the season, and that results from
the same cause, Is the abundance
OF the foliage. This lnsures
a beautiful autumn when
the haze begins to settle and tn" colors
begin to get on the trees, and the
whole country will be as gorgeous a. q
millions of times as rich and lovely as
the painting the rapid artists IN oil
execute while you wait" The lawns
will be beautiful longer than usual,
and when the leaves fall there will be-
more and bigger bontires, and as re-
suit more fun for the children, big and
little. But best of all there is such q
crop Gas well as there having
been such a melon crop!) as was never
known before. The season was Just
right for them, and Hallowe'e n ian
terms, TO say nothing of pumpkin pies,
will be plentier than usual this year.
Ii has been the sort Of season to lead
up naturally to glorious thanksg'v-
ing.

Now, when the leaves are turning
gay and the nights are growing
longer; when grapes have reached
their primes. prime and Onions, aye,
grow stronger; when frosty breezes
make US dig for winter coats and
hoods, Ills sweet TO hear the black

Before the sun has set at eve their
shadows dot the ground in lines from
north, south, east and west; and
everywhere around their noisy ciatter
can be heard roaring like winter floods,
as home they HE themselves st night
to roost in Westeott's woods.
At earliest dawn, soon as the east
turns white with coming day. again
you hear the chattering roar as thou
sands fly away in scattering clouds to
distant fields to seek their various
foods, with which their crops are laden
when they fly to Westcott's woods.
For years and years those birds have
come TO REQ t in that self same place.
and not a person lives nearby but
those birds know his face; and mer-
chants watch this s ign and ne'er get
out their winter goods until the black
birds come in flocks to root IN West

In an official statement made the
other day it was shown that in each
year since 1892 there has been an
annual increase of about 80 per cent.
in production of tin plate In the United
States, and that since that time there
has been steady fall in impor,ations,
until those of 1898 were but about
one-fourth of the average annual i'm
portations prior to the date at which
the manufacture of this article in the
United States began. The decrease in
the amount of money sent out OF ta"
country in the purchase of tin plate .
even more strongly marked than that
relating to the importations. The
value of the tin plate imported in 1889
was 81 ,222 ,653, while that for 1898
was but $500, l4S, being but about
one-sixth of the amount sent out of
the country for this purpose in 1889.

On the acquisition question the New
York Republicans in their platform
adopted at Saratoga yesterday ex-
pressed themselves as follows:
I'VE realize that when the necessi
ties OF war compelled our nation to de-
stroy Spanish authority in the Antilles
and in the Philippines, We assumed
solemn duties and obligations, alike to
the people Of the islands we conquered
and to tho civilized world. We can
not turn these islands back to Spain.
We cannot leave them, unarmed for
defense and untried in statecraft, to
the horrors of domestic strife or to
partition among European powers.
We have assumed the respons ibiliiies
of victory, and wherever our flag has
gone there the liberty, the humanity
and the civilization W hich that flag en-
bodies and represents must remain and
abide forever"

Autumn Chances.

There is grief among the councilmen
and grief among the boys; there is
sorrow where there once was smiling
glainess; for some changes always
come with the falling of the leaf that

When the days grow short apace
and the nights come stretching out,
when the scent of pumpkin pies re-
minds of heaven, then the council
meeting time falls ha'f an hour back
and until next spring the hours
changed to seven.
But the grief that fills the boy is for
q1ite different cause; he's got used
to chasing home before it's late; but
with Saturday this week he must hus-
tie harder still, for the curfew begins
to ring at eight.
