DELAWARE PROMISES BEST
TOMATO CROP YET GROWN
BUSINESS TO HAVE THE MOST EXCITING
RUN OF ITS LIFE THIS SEASON.
Large Acreage Of Plants Set Out and the
Failure of Fruit Is Causing the Farmer
TO Give Il His Attention.

The tomato business is to have the
run of its life this season. 1t has just
developed that the largest number OF
tomato plants ever seen in this section
of Delaware and the lower part of the |
State. have been set out preparatory
to harvesting the largest crop that
Delaware's gardens have ever yielded.
Under any sort of favorable weather
from now until the latter part of next
month, the yield will be enormous and
will easily put the tomato as the chief
product of the Delaware peninsula.
Packing houses and miniature can
neries are being put in readiness in the
smaller towns and about the time that
farm work slackens these little indus
tries will provide work for the farm
ers' boys and idle hands, making the
tomato business doubly prOftably.
Kent county is going into the
fruit business with doubled diligence
since it became known among them
that the unfavorable spring weather
had only injured peaches and cherries.
The cherry crop proved failure,
while straw berries after the summing
ND. have turned out about 'half-and-
half. Raspberries, however, are fine,
and blackberries have excelled their
past history. Apple trees are abun'
dainty filled and the heaviest crol
known in years is now being harvest
ed, or almost ready for the husband
men.
The apple culture has been so care
J fully studied here of late that thi
fruit, both of early and winter apples
will soon rival Northern New Yorl

there are acres and acres of land here
abouts which they have been trying
