it because il was candlcmaS Day. or
what is commonly known rs Ground
Hog Day. According to folklore if III"
ground hog came oUt Sunday and saw
his shadow. he went back ana will re-

weeks there will be severe wintYy wealth

did not see his shadow. he remained ont

Seven hundred farmers of Delaware
and Eastern Shore of Maryland met ut
Bridgcvillc. Del, on Saturday. to discuss
the peach basket question. The railroad
companies are trying to do away with
shelving peach cars and to force the far
mcr TO ship in carriers. Commission men
mt Providence. Scranton. Boston and Al
bany refuse Delaware peaches put up in
carriers. rs was shown by letters read
ut this meeting. \ delegation went to
Dover on Thursday and consulted with
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
and if the company refuses to Shelvc cars
so fruit can be shipped in ixc.cighth
baskets, farmers will pull out their or
chalIs next rail- and grow peas and toma-
toes instead. AS there would be no sale
for them in carriers. there will be no
more peaches grown there. The railroad
depends on the peach crop and it will be
the heaviest loser if it refuses to shclvc
cars this year. The crop so far never
looked better.
