The yield of corn in Delaware was never
larger than the crop just harvested, and not
for many years has there been so much in
terest manifested in the corn market as at the
present time, and 81 cents for corn, which
is the market price tO-day,wa an undreamed
ofthing "a few months ago. With corn still
on the rise, the Delaware farmers naturally
feel very much encouraged, but how much
higher the market will go is a matter Ofmere
conjecture. Published reports to the effect
that the ruling prices point to dollar corn, is
not looked upon with any degree of conf
dence, and some of the local buyers who are
well informed on the condition ofthe mar
ket, advise the farmers to sell while they can
get sixty cents bushel Considerable corn
has been sold in Clayton and SMYRNA, but not
so active the past week for the reason that
manv of the farmers are not ready to sell. On
the other hand some are holding their pro-
duct for a better market, with the hope that
it might eventually reach the dollar mark
At Cheswold, six miles south of Smyrna, it
has been many years since they mad so active
corn market as they are having now, and
perhaps never so many buyers. Sixty cents
is the price paid for new Command lots of far
mers are moving their crop at this price.
Dealers have been perplexed, however, be
cause of the scarcity of cars The grain is
well dried out and grades well. c. W. Hazel,
one of Cheswold's largest growers, procured
last spring 10 bushels of Dent" new vari-
ETY. of yellow corn for seed, of which there has
been a great deal of favorable comment, both
as to its yield as well as grade. Mr.. HAZEL
will have apprOximating 1000 bushels of it
from 20 acres. He has preserved some ears
measuring II 10 inches in length. His who e
crop from more THAI 100 acres is over 5000
bushels.
The corn yield this year is the smallest re-
corded by the Agricultural Department since
1894. The total crop amounts only to $50 .OOO.-
600 bushels, against l,3S5,O0OOOO last year.
