IN ten years there has been no
parallel to the present blackberry
and raspberry season for Delaware
growers. Early i'll the season the
prospect for fruit was never better
but the scorching heat for ten days
injured green fruit OH the vines,
and that weather being succeeded
by warm, humid atmosphere, caused
the berries to carry bad and go or
the market in poor condition. The
berry crop of 1901 is not notable
for large profits.

Mr. Mills Of the Delaware rail
road, has estimated that a crop of
over two millions of baskets of
peaches, will be shipped from this
Peninsula this season. His figures
are compiled from estimates given
by agents of the railroad from the
various stations, and are probably
approximate only. We have no
ticed that partial crops Of peaches,
generally fall below the estimate
while i'll seasons when full crops
prevail, the estimates are always
exceeded. This season looks like
a profitable one for growers; but
all depends upon the weather after
all. Should conditions like those
of July prevail, peaches will not
carry we'll and will be of1ess valve;
but if dry moderately warm weather
should predomiEate, peach grower.

IT is right that the fruit exhibit

WHEAT threshing has developed
the fact, that in Delaware the yield
is below what was expected; but
still an average crop. Too much

In the banks of our forest trees are
contained multitude of latent buds,
which are developed and grow under
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in remark
able degree, and often, when the other
parts are killed down by frost, the
property of pushing out these latent
buds into growth preserves the life of
the plant. These buds, having once
begun to grow, adhere TO the woody
layer at their base and push out their
points through the back toward the
light.
The buds then unfold and develop
leaves, which elaborate the sap carried
up the small shoot. Once elaborated 1t
descends by the bark, when it reaches
the base or inner bark. Here it is ar
rested, so to speak, and deposited be-
tween the outside and inner layer of
bark, as can be learned on examining
specimens on the trees in the woods
almost anywhere.

and shod hoof and levy upon every

BEE AND HIVE.

Ing all frames full
Set the hive little above the ground
to admit of circulation of air.
From o'clock a. m. to o'clock p. m.

ing with bees.
Procure new blood In the apiary. In
breeding is as Objectionable with bees
as with live stock.
1t is necessary to unite all weak col
onies that will be unable to build up
into strong stocks.
Care should be taken to save all
young brood and the brood combs of
those containing brood.
On account of it being the only ma
-teriel that can be dopendad upon to
stay pine is the best material for hives.
Combs should not be left in empty
hives about the apiary. That is the
worst place they can be left, as moths
are always to be found near the bees
and are sure to infest the combs.
One advantage in closed end frames
Is that hive full of combs may be
handled as though it were single
piece instead of collection of loose
pieces, thus saving work, worry and
time.
Ii the bees cannot conveniently enter
the hives during the sudden changes of
cool weather, quite number will be
lost; hence care should be taken to
have the entrances arranged so that the
bees can enter readily.

4 Case Where Naval Cadets Turned
Discipline Into a Joke.


Among other good stories told by
Cyrus Townsend Brady In his under
Tops'ls and Tents" published by Scrib-
ners, is this:
1t is related that a large number Of
naval cadets were negligent in follow.
ing the service in the chapel, which was
after the ritual of the Episcopal
church. An incautious officer in charge
on Sunday morning made little ad-
dress to the church party on the sub
ject, saying he supposed that some Of
them erred through ignorance, but II
they would observe him carefully and
do as he did-in military parlance, fol-
low the motions Of the commanding Of
f1cer-they would not go wrong.
Word was passed quietly through the
battalion. They marched into the
church. The officer in charge took his
place in the front pew, settled himself
in his seat and calmly blew his nose.
Three hundred noses were blown ST.
multaneously with vehemence that
was startling. The officer looked around
and blushed violently in great surprise.
Three hundred heads followed the mo-
tons Of the commanding officer" Six
hundred cheeks violently tried to blush,
a hard thing to for midshipman to do,
and so on through the service.
The man could not stir without in
slant imitation. He finally confined
himself strictly to the prescribed rit-
ual Of the service, looking neither to
the right nor to the left, not daring to
raise finger or breathe out of the or
binary course. This enterprise also
was startling success.
The cadets received other instructions
later in the day from furious officer
who sternly resented their innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not
and that he had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on a differ
ent plane from saying his prayers. 1t
was huge joke everywhere.

HASTY REBUKE.

The need of careful investigation of
statements made by people even in
court has been exemplified in the case
of Naihe. This man when on the point
of being sentenced by the judge of the
Circuit court. pleaded through his at
torney that he had been already five
months in Jail and that for four months
of that time he had been compelled to
work with convicts in prison garb. The
sentence imposed was one hours i'm
prisonment, and a strong rebuke was
given by the court to Warden Henry
for a scandalous proceeding, with an
additional back handler at the executive
which could allow such things to take
place.
Whether the statement of Naihe had
any effect upon the sentence of course
it is impossible to say. The court said
it felt under no obligations to make any
explanations, and that it was guided
by what lights it had. The court is
strictly within it's rights and no one
can expect 1t to be guided by self-illu-
mination of the prophetic kind.
But one can reasonably ask, when
man makes a statement such as Naihe
did, why the court should have taken
it for granted that it was correct, and
Immediately use it as peg upon which
to hang TRADE against the executive.
1t would have been easy for the court
to have had Warden Henry summoned
and the matter verified. AS it turned
out, the man had been put to work at
odd Jobs at his own request, as he was
tired Of doing nothing, and the work
gave him his necessary exeFcise. He
never was dressed in prison garb, and
he did not work along side convicts.
All this was laid before the court, yes
terday morning. And the court had to
acknowledge that it had made an error
of judgment. All of us are liable to
this.
What The Star objects to is the readi-
ness with which the court accepts
charges against executive officers of the
government. The charge was not sus-
tanned, but the rebuke against Warden
Henry had gone forth, and though il
may be softened by the subsequent re-
marks, for one person who read the ex.
PLANTATION there were probabI twenty
who read the rebuke and the attack up.
on the executive generally. The hasty
word, rashly spoken, flies much further
than the word which is meant to coun.
teract it. The words of a court carry
peculiar weight, and doing so should be
guarded. They should not be based up.
on the irresponsible statement of a pri.
soner, whose object is to mitigate his
sentence if possible, and who certainly
seems to have succeeded in this in
stance.
