CHEswoLD, August 1.-THE heavy
rains of Sunday has added more dis
couragement to tomato growers, they
fear further damage to the crop by the |
already too much moisture. They |
think now that there will be a repeti
ton of last years high prices and
thereby another pull with the contrac-
tor and Gamer. We were told to-day
the growers in this immediate vicinity
generally have good record for llv-
ing up to their contracts.
It was business to-day as we looked
little way down the line to see the
string of teams unloading upon cars
the various fruits. One car was load
ed with cantaloupes for Jersey City,
besides q quantity for Philadelphia
and the local markets. With our buy
ers and others it is strange to note the
difference in flavor and quality of this
fruit grown upon different qualities of
land which seems to suit it. Or possi-
! bly the season has no small part in this
line. But which ever it will be it will
likely be known by analysis some day
soon. The "Bill of Georgia" variety
of peach grown by Joseph Mcdaniel,
brought So cents per basket which
topped little all prices for this fruit
to-day. From to cars were shipped.
Our cannery men are very busy
getting ready for the tomato pack.
Tomatoes, however, ripen slowly and
come in only in small quantities, which
stop at the stores to be dealt out in
small quantities. With good weather
it is thought the middle of this week
will find them coming in in larger
quantities.
John Morgan is putting some i'm
provements on his farm three miles
west of Cheswold. He is now giving
it coat of paint.
From present indications there will
be rush for Ocean City and Reho
both next Thursday. Most of on
