THIS YEARS SMALL PEACH CROP.

Practically Nome IN the Upper Part of tho
Poninsula-Iiow TO Deal With Trees Al
fected bv the yelipTs.
Tho peach crop is lighter this season
than for many years, according to New
York fruit dealers. In Delaware and
what is known as the Eastern Shore, in
Maryland, the crop has suffered most.
In New Castle and Kent counties,
the growers say the peach industry is
almost run out, owing to the yellows, q
contagious disease of the peach tree.
On the Eastern Shore Of Maryland,
in Cecil county, also in Kent county
and upper Queen Anne's the crop Is
damaged and the trees permanently
injured. In these three counties few
orchards only have good crops, but the
lower counties are tolerably clear OF
yellows up to this time. There will
not be more than an eighth of the
usual crop in oil the territory named,
and consequently the farmers are get
ting double the usual price for the
fruit. The crop in New Jersey is light,
partly because of the severe winter.
The spring drouth caused the fruit to
drop badly.
The disease called the yellows has
been known to peach growers for 100
years, nrst appearing IN tnlS country
in Pennsylvania, and then travelling
southwark. ut has only travelled 100
miles in us many years, said q we'll
known peach-grower. THE only
| proper way to deal with the trees
affected by it is to take them up and
burn them root and branch. This all
enterprising and intelligent farmers do
as soon as the disease develops. By
using this method many farmers have
| not lost more than one or two trees to
the 1000 in 10 years. In addition to
being damaged by the yellows, the
crop has been diminished by the multi
| plication of the curculio. The farmers,
since peach raising has been less profit
able, have been turning their attention
more to pear-raising and to small fruit.
In a few years pears will largely super
sede peaches. "

SHOWERS OF THE "QUEER"
Counterfeit half Dollars Passed at Oak
Orchard and In Its Vicinity.
AFL0AT IN LARGE QUANTITIES
No Clue to the Manufacturer of
the Coins.
GOOD IMITATION OF GENUINE ARTICLE

Counterfeiters are operating in Della
ware. Whether the spurious coin is
being manufactured here is not known,
but u great deal of 1T is in circulation
in the lower part OF the State, and as
it first made its appearance there 1t is
suspected that there is or has been a
bogus money plant in operation in one
of the lower counties Of this State or in
one of the Eastern Shore counties Of
Maryland.
The counterfeit money first made its
appearance, so far rs is known, in the
shape of half-dollars, at Oak Orchard,
a beach resort on Indian River Bay,
last Thursday, when ut least $50 worth
are known to have been passed before
their value was asoertained.
Last Thursday was Big Thursday
at Oak Orchard, and on that day nearly
everybody living in Sussex county who
could make it convenient to spend the
day there was on hand, as were also
hundreds of people from other parts of
the State and Pennsylvania, Maryland
and New Jersey. The attendance was
estimated at at least 5000, and as a
result much money was spent. Before
tho end of the day the discovery was
made that some Of the money which
was in circulation was counterfeit and
some of those who had received the
bogus coin began an investigation on
their own account, but they were un-
able to detect the source from which it
came and those who received it had no
redress.
Many people received some of the
money, Henry Phillips, owner of the
place, who conducted confectionery
stand, finding at the end of the day
that he had taken in $50 worth, while
Thomas Galloway, who had peanut
stand was the recipient of four of the
pieces. Many other people there were
also victimized.
Since it became known that counter
felt money was circulated so extensively
at Oak Orchard it has developed that
similar money was passed at several
places down the State where camp
meetings were held ard it is altogether
likely that within the last three weeks
several thousand dollars in counterfeit
lf.dollars were passed upon unsus-
pecting people.
The coin is said to be a good imita-
tion of the genuine article and very
few people could detect it's character II
they were not looking for counterfeits.
Some of the people who have been
duped by the counterfeiters are OF the
opinion that the money came from one
OF the northern cities, probably Phila-
delphia. while others believe it was
manufactured somewhere on the PENN
sula and that the plant was closed and
carried away before an effort was made
to put the money in circulation. 1t is
safe to say, however, that the guilty
parties are not now in the State and it
is doubtful whether they will ever be
located, although an investigation will
BIO instituted at once by government
agents. t'
