DROUTH HURTING CROPS
Rainfall Has Bean a Little More
Than a Third Of Normal.
Growth OF Garden Truck on Lone Isl.
and, In New Jersey and Sections
OF New York Retarded.

New York City.-The best varieties OF
strawberries cost the consumer just
about double the usual price at this
season of the year. The cause Is not
the Food Trust or gentlemen's agree
ment among strawberry growers. but
lack Of rain.
During the months Of March and
April there was more than the usual
precipitation of moisture. but during
May only 1.223 inches of rain fell. where
the normal standard called for BIS
inches During the first nine days OF
June only .l3 Of an inch Of rain has
fallen where the normal standard
called for 80 Of an inch.
This somewhat pr0tracted dry season
taken together with the cold days and
cooler nights has retarded the growth
OF all kinds Of garden truck in Long
Island. Staten Island. New Jersey aud
up the Hudson River. But II has fallen
the most heavily on the strawberry
crop. as In May and June Is the season
Of It's principal growth and ripening.
Maryland and Delaware have supplied
the local market with the greater part
OF the strawberry crop so far. When
1t came time for the New Jersey. Stat
en- Island. Long Island and up.river
berries. they were not forthcoming In
the usual quantities. So the commits
sion merchants put put up prices.
The dealers hear that the crop In
Northern New York State. known
among the dealers as the OswegOs. Is
also going to be short on account Of the
lack of rain.
Thus. while the Southern crop. be-
ginning with the Floridas in Febru-
ary and ending with the Delawares
and Marylands in May, has been OF
ordinary proportions. the Northern
crop Is decidedly short.
One dealer said that the shrinkage In
the crop would DE a good thing for the
growers. as the crop was usually so
large that the prices were ruinousiy
low. causing many New Jersey farm
ers to quit growing Strawberries. A
smaller crop with high prices would
be better for the farmers. this dealer
said.
Such early vegetables as radlshes.
asparagus and lettuce have also been
injured by the scarcity Of rain. Rad.
ishes are selling for double their usual
price. Asparagus will spindle up to
seed unless 1t has plenty Of water. so
the farmers have to supply water In
order to get any crop It oil.
The acreage Of potatoes in Long Isl.
and and New Jersey Is extraordinarily
large this year. and the crop has been
kept back for two or three weeks by
lack Of rain.
The injury TO the vegetable crop In
general cannot yet be said TO be seri-
GUS. hut continued cool weather and
no rain Is p!nching II more and more
each week. The farmers are hoping
and praying that the life.giving show
ers will come soon.

and Good Spirit Displayed.
Londor.-The War Office has been
notlfied by General Kitchener that the
disarmament OF the Beers is proceed
ing satisfactorily. and good spirit Is
displayed everywhere.
The following formalities are OBJ
served when General Botha. General
Dc Wet or any Of the Boer command
ants accompany the British officer who
ms been detailed to receive surrenders.
The Boer leader goes out to meet a
commando and returns at It's head. The
Beers who come In are generally
dressed In dilapidated clothing, but
nave a smart and soldierly bearing.
The Beers who are to surrender are as
scmbled and the Boer leader delivers
IN address to bis men. urging them
70 listen to the British officer who has
been detailed on this work.
The British officer then makes q
speech to the men Of the commando
IN which he informs them Of the ad.
mira tIon OF King Edward and the Brit
lsh nation for the gallant struggle
and the bravery Of their people and
promises that the British authorities
will do their utmost to help them re-
settle on their farms. A meal Is then
provided for the Beers. after which the
formal surrender occurs.
In many such instances the Beers
have cheered King Edward, and they
sometimes have expressed surprise that
90 army was sent out to receive their
surrenders. The Beers are allowed to
retain their horses and saddles, and
the majority Of them appear to be glad
that the war ls at an end. and that
they will now be able to join their
families. Among the men who sur.
rendered to the British authorities at
Balmoral. Cape Colony. were four
Americans, who Will be granted free
passage to Delagoa Bay.
The open letter Of the Boer leaders to
the burghers. In which peace Is an
bounced and In which the burghers are
.ounseled to loyal acquiescence. is an
eloquent and pathetic document In It
the leaders thank the burghers for their
noble sacrifices and express their sym
pathy for the bereaved. The letter cou.
cludes as follows:
"Now that there Is peace. and al
though 1t Is not peace such as we
longed for. yet let rs abide where God
has led rs. We can with clear con-
sciences declare that for two and q
half years our people have carried on
the struggle in a manner almost un-
known to history. Let us now grasp
each others hands. for another great
struggle lies before Us. q struggle Tor
the spiritual and racial prosperity and
welfare Of our people. Casting aside
all feelings Of bitterness. let Us learn
to forget and to forgive. so that the
deep wounds caused by this war may
be healed"
