Movement to Can Tomatoes UupeeIed.

There is a movement to can the
tomatoes with skins on by simply cut
ting them in half, the sterlizing pro-
cess preserving the skins as we'll as the
tomato and the contract with so many
hands being thus avoided, but it is not
known how the public will receive this
innovation and the packers are, there
fore, hesitating about adopting it, even
though greater sanitary and safer re-
suits can be obtained. During the cold
days of May and June, the whole
tomato crop and business was in jeop-
ardy in Delaware. Damage was daily
done to the early vines but the plucky
farmers replanted and tried again. II
was early enough to "catch" the crop

WHEAT TURNING OUT MOST SATISFACTORY
N. F. WiIds Farm "Sunnyside'' Tenanted by
Denney Walker Yields 81 Bushels TO Acre.

Denney Walker Yields 81 Bushels TO Acre.
Farmers in this vicinity axe IN the
midst of their wheat threshing and the
Yields being attained are the most sat-
isfactory this vicinity has seen for
years. The yield has been large aud
the weather has been conducive to a
good, healthy growth. 1t is the opin-
ion of several that the average yield
will be about 25 bushels to the acre
around about Smyrna. Last year it
was only about IS. The farm of N. F.
Wilds, "Sunnyside," will probably
lead off with the largest yield. This
farm located near Brenford and ten
anted by Denney Walker, had 80 acres
in wheat and one field turned out SO
bushels to the acre and the other 20.
Wilson T. Cavender on the farm ten
anted' by VIM. Lewis Ford, gets 81
bushels to the acre. John E. Wilson
near Clayton, also gets 81 bushels to
acre. Some idea of how wheat is turn
ing may be had from the following re-
ports: Mrs. J. E. Carter 299 bushels to
the acre; Gilbert Pratt, 90, George
Thompson %; Harry Lower 26; @. P.
Gears 25; Frank Gootee ~; Harry

LOCAL GAMERS PREPARING
FOR LARGE TOMATO PACK
INDICATIONS POINT MOST FAVORABLE FOR
A HEAVY YIELD IN SMYRNA AND VICINITY

Season Will Be About Two Weeks Late and
Gamers Will Hardly Start Up Before the
Last Of August or First of September.
Local Gamers of Smyrna and vicinity
are getting their industries in readi-
ness for busy season packing tOma
toes. The prospect is most favorable
for one of the largest packs i'll years.
The acreage for tomatoes is consider
ably larger in this vicinity and the
weather conditions have been con-
ducive for healthy growth. The J.
II. Hotfecker Canning Company will
probably not start up before the last
week in August or first week in Sep
tember. Crops are much belated and
indications point to late season. The
Torsh Packing Company, of Smyrna
Landing will probably not start up un-
Ill the last of August. The Belmont
Hall Cannery, which under the man
agement of Cummins E. Speakman
will start up this year much enlarged
over its previous conditions, promises
to be one of the busy industries of this
section. The new factory which has
been equipped with new and up-to-
date machinery will more than
double its output this year. Mr..
Speakman puts up tomatoes whole and
unpeeled for the fancy trade. Bren-
ford, Kenton, Cheswold and Flemings
Landing will also fall in line when the
season opens with equal prospects of
having heavy packs.
