Damaged.
The shower OF last night did not re-
lieve the serious condition brought
about by the prolonged drought. The
dry spell is the most damaging expert
enced In many years. and il rain does
not fall within a few days the crops
will be entirely destroyed.
Already the vegetables have been
parched. the fruit dried up and the
wheat crop almost ruined.
Strawberries are about gone when
they should have lasted for almost
three weeks. Those that have been
gathered have been OF sickly. yellow
ish hue. not like the regular big lus-
cious berries generally grown In Della
ware
In the northern part OF the State the
farmers are very much exercised over
the hay. Even though n rain should
come today. there viii not be more
than half a crop and II a downpour
does not come within a short time
there viii be none to NOV.
Southern Delaware farmers whose
principal crop is corn. are in the
throes OF despair. Some have planted
the corn, but II lies dead in the ground,
not having moisture enough to sprout
A great many farmers have not plow-
ed their fields for corn, and will not do
so until rain comes. II the showers
/ do not arrive in a short time II will be
too late TO plant the crop and the fields
will remain idle.
Will Plant Glover.
Wheat. which was planted so extern
sively In New Castle county. is now in
bloom, and although badly stunted for
lack OF moisture, it Is necessary for a
rain TO come TO head the wheat up.
Several tillers, becoming disgusted and
realizing what n small crop they would

win plant clover and timothy 70 feed
their stock next winter, as there seems
nothing else win be had.
In speaking Of the condition I'm White
Clay Creek, William Clay said this
morning;
1--WE are in the midst OF one OF the
most disastrous droughts that has vis-
tied us in many years. Vegetation is
being literally parched in the ground.
A good. steady rain for twenty-four
hours will be necessary 10 the growing
crops 20 bring them anywhere near a
! yield A great many have already per-
ished and each day brings additional
losses TO the farmers.
MANY had intended TO have big to-
mato crops this year Some set them
out, but they have died. Others want
u to but are afraid II is already too late,
as they win be caught by the frost be-
fore enough can be gathered 20 make
the crop pay"
n Merchants Concerned.
Much concern is felt by merchants in
the lower counties. II is the custom
there TO lay in the biggest stock Of the
year just before the fruit crops and
depend upon them for their sales. Now
the stores are packed with merchan-
disc and no buyers, as the failure Of
the strawberry crop has prevented the
farmers from laying in their annual
stock Of groceries, provisions, and
clothing.
The drought is a serious blow to the
whole State and If a rainfall does not
come within a short while many fall
ures will be the result.

USING WESTERN CARS
Eastern Roads Make No Effort, Appar-
emily, to Send Cars Back.


L. c., Rains, general Minneapolis agent
of the Chicago Great Western, found a
lot of western freight cars east of Chi
cago, on his recent trip to Buffalo and
intervening points. He discovered on
the part Of eastern roads utter disregard
for the whereabouts of the freight cars
belonging to the Minneapolis Chicago
roads and to other western lines. AL
though the eastern companies are doing
their best to raise the freight blockade,
more traffic seems to be turned over to
them that they can possibly handle.
Mr. Rains said:
"One half of the cars now in the yards
at Buffalo and on the side tracks be-
tween Buffalo and Chicago, seem to be
cars belonging to western lines. Itfound
in many instances that when our cars
left Buffalo and. were loaded at destina-
tion they were loaded with coal for Chi
cago, and many times for other points
not on our line at ALL The eastern lines
appear to have no regard whatever about
what they do with our cars when they
once get hold of them. I learned; of sew
eral instances where coal was shipped
from Pennsylvania points in Great West
ern cars into Canada. These conditions
have placed the western roads in bad
shape because they have allowed many
OF their cars to so off their line at Chi
cago loaded with flour, in order to help
the millers out and the eastern lines have
invariably kept the cars for their own
use. We get 20 cents a day on cars that
are off our line for a certain length of
time, and then we get 30 cents a day.
ana by that arrangement we are losing
money right along, because if we had our
cars at home they could easily be earn
ing from So to SO per day by hauling
freight . --.....'.
