Fruit.
Reports regarding apples are somewhat
conflicting. Considerable complaint Is
heard that the fruit is falling ana rotting
badly. Much nice fruit is found IN Wash
ington county. Peaches are beginning TO
ripen and few are being marketed. In
Washington county the crop in the noun
tain sections above an altitude OF 500 feet
is good. In Carroll county peaches are
yielding better than was expected and
some fine fruit Is being gathered. In Sus-
sox county. Delaware a good crop Of fair
quality Is being marketed. Considerable
rotting rs reported and is thought 20 be
due TO the prevalence Of wet. cloudy
weather. Piums are yielding well in
north-centrai Maryland. Bartlett pears
are said to be small, but OF good quality.
Some shipments are being made. but re-
ports Indicate only a fair yield.

Tomatoes are quite plentiful the vines
are thrifty, and the fruit mostly Of good
quality Some fields are bhghting badly
In Hartford ana Talbot counties. In Tai

ware reports Indicate that the vines are
not fruiHng well. In Dorchester county
the canneries were started and operated
