Long-They Learn Quickly.


Long-They Learn Quickly.
1t is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public, but you can't keep it
up very long. They are sure to find
you out; and every time a man is
fooled another sl<eptic is made. We
are naturally skeptical when reading
a published statement by some stran-
ger residing in a far-away place, but
the circumstances are entirely differ
ent when home Endorsement is pre-
scented. The testimony of local citi-
zens renders deceit impossible. 1t is
so easy for you to investigate. Read

Rain NOT GENERAL NJ iI|!I
Late Report Shows That Drouth
Prevails in Greater Part
of State.
CROPS OF ALL KINDS SUFFERING
Northwestern Part Alone Aniicted
With Too Much MOis-
ture.

The weather during the past week
has generally been moderately warm,
and. except for occasional local
showers, dry and favorable for farm
work. In the southern part of the
state crops are beginning to suffer on
account of the continued dry wealth
er. though showers in some localities
relieved the drouth- somewhat. In
the northern and central districts
the absence of rain has not been in
furious to growing crops. Wheat har-
vest is completed and the threshing
is well advanced. The average yield
is good but ii is generally better in
the central district than elsewhere.
Rye is generally a good crop. Dat
harvest is practically completed in
the central and southern districts,
and is generally well advanced in the
northern district. There has been
considerable loss of oats by lodging
in the northern and central districts,
but Notwithstanding this loss the
Weld will be fair to good. In the
southern district the yield is some
what less than in the northern and
central districts. Corn continues TO
do well in the northern and central
districts.
Drouth I'm South.
Over a large part of the southern
district. however, the need of rain
begins to be felt. In few localities
the crop appears TO have been in
iured considerably by the drouth.
The average condition of the crop
throughout the state, however, is
good. 1t is generally in tassel and
in many localities ears have formed.
Broom corn continues promising.
Haying is practically completed in
the central and southern districts,
and is well advanced in the northern
district. The crop is generally fair
to very good. and that which was put
up under favorable weather of the
past week is generally in better con-
dition than that put up previously.
Pastures Generally Good.
Pastures are becoming poor in
parts of the southern district as II
result of the dry weather, but over
the rest of the state they are gen
rally in good condition. Stock peas
are promising. Gardens are generally
in good condition, but in parts of
the southern district they need rain.
Potatoes promise n large crop. but
in many localities they are rotting
badly. The apple crop prospects
have changed but little. varying from
very poor in some localities to good
in others. In few localities the
peach crop is good. but it is generally
very poor. Pears are good crop in
some localities. The average pros
pect for small fruits is fair.

THE CRAB INDUSTRY.
It Will be benefited by the Artificial
Matching Process.

II VIII be benefited by the Artificial
Hatching Process.
wicomico, Nd. News.
Now that the artificial propagation
of fish of all kinds has been so success
full and has been tho means of greatly
increasing tho supply of this delicious
food, the United States Fish Commits
sion is considering plans for Matching
crabs artiticially, and it is believed
that it can be done successfully. The
eggs, which are about one fifteenth the
size of tho Holsters egg, hatch readily
when they are placed in tho glass jars
fitted with siphon arrangement sup
plying sea water. The microscope shows
tho fry to be u curious looking creature,
sort Of cross between a flea and
mosquito. He begins very soon to shed
his shell skin, and to add legs and the
rest of his physical paraphernalia, but
the shedding goes on constantly; IN
| fact, it may be said accurately that the
crab grows by shedding, which docs not
cease until he has become a veritablo
old-timer. That he lives to a ripe old
age is indicated by the fact that speci-
mons are sometimes taken to which are
attached full grown barnacles and
oysters

be the means of keeping up the supply
Of this delicacy and would BIO great
boon to an industry that is expanding
year by year in Wicomico and many
other counties in this State. A few
years ago the catching of crabs was
carried on to very limited extent in
this county, but now there are large
packinghouses which put up millions
of crabs annually.
The Grabbing industry is second only
to the oyster industry, and there is nc
doubt but that the artificial Matching,
if successful, will be a big help to the
business. Some idea Of the immensely
of the business may be gained when il
is known that the town of Cristiele
