DFLAVARE'S PEACH CROP FAILS.

Dover Aug. 10 (speciaD.-The peach crop IN this
State this year IS a total failure There have been
in the last ten years some few thousand baskets
of peaches shipped from points along the Deia-
ware Railroad, but this year II five hundred pas
kets OF this fruit can be found, from the banks
of the Brandywine in Newcastle County TO the
sands OF Sussex. in the extreme southern'pat OF
the State it will be a fortunate thing. l. NJ NILS
of Clayton Del. the crop authority OF the Della
ware Railroad. states that he does not desire 70
predict trouble but his hopes for the future OF
peach growing in Delaware are not n the least
encouraging. . .
Mr Mills further states that his reasons are
supported by records that are interesting. Ihey
show that the peach industry has shifted from the
upper TO the lower part Of the State because OF
the change in climate and soil. and that the
peach belt is fast contracting Twenty years ago
New-Castie County. in which Wilmington and
Newcastle are situated was the centre OF the
peach belt Millions of baskets of the luscious
peach were shipped from the various points in
New-Castle County. The Wilmington markets
were choked with them. - .

Ross once owned miles OF orchards. and Laurel
and Delmar which are on the borders OF Mary
land with Milford. have the business, what
little remains Delaware's last peach crop was
in 1898 when 5000 600 baskets picked and
shipped The causes given for the failure OF the
neach crop here are the unfavorable changes Of
climate and the San Jose scale
