few PEACHES;
MANY TOMATOES
This The Opinion Of Della
ware and Maryland
Growers
BIG ACREAGES IN EACH

A big crop Of tomatoes and a small
crop Of peaches are indicated for Dela-
ware this year. From present pros
poets, and with continued good wealth
er. the tomato crop will be the larg-
est in years and in every way very
satisfactory. on the other hand, not
more than one third TO two thirds of
a peach crop is in sight at present
and at this season the prospects of
this fruit can be accurately established.
There has been a big increase in the
acreage OF tomatoes this season. not
only in Delaware, but in both Mary
land and New Jersey. The increase in
the planting Of the crop in Maryland
and Delaware amounts to between IS
and 20 per cent as compared with
last year. Last year the crop of to-
matoes was below the average season
In Maryland. In consequence, the pack
of this vegetable was short and prices
for canned goods We're relatively high
the entire winter This season there
is every indication Of a big pack. Dur
ing the latter part of May and early
In June there was much concern re-
garding the outcome of the crop. Big
damage was done to the early vines,
but fortunately the damage occurred
at such a period as to permit replant-
ing While the crop this year will be
about two weeks late, Il will probably
be large For weeks past the weather
has been most favorable. Both growers
and packers are now hopeful that
frosts will not come until late in the
fall.
In discussing the condition Of the
peach crop, a Maryland grower said:
when it is stated that there is one
third TO two-thrds sof a peach crop
In Maryland it does not mean that por-
tion of the crop of former years, when
there were between 100000 and 100000
peach trees in this State About four
years ago the Government compelled
the clearing out of thousands OF peach
trees on tho peninsula owing to the
ravages of the diseases known as the
yellows and the San Jose scale. In the
case of the 'yelows' the leaves of the
trees turn from green to yellow. The
San Jose scale was brought to Mary
land by fresh peaches shipped here
from California in boxes. After the
orchards had been cut down in some
cases trees were replanted, but the ma
iority Of the farmers simply cleared the
space occupied by their former or
chards and devoted tho ground 70 truck
and small fruits Rhe peach crop has,
therefore, never been what it was be-
fore the ravages of the two diseases.
The mountain districts of Western
Maryland were not affected very ex-
tensively by either the yellows' or San
Jose scale" -aaf ttf

HOPE FOR SUCCESS
OF NEW HOSPITAL

Directors Of the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Society reviewed the
work of the society yesterday after
noon. They found the finances TO be
low, but enough money is in hand to
continue the work until fall when an
appeal will be made for public support
Of the institution.
The society is enthusiastic over its
work uD until this time. That such a
hospital was badly needed is admitted
by all and they are Of the opinion that
the public will see that the worthy
charity is maintained.
A visiting committee was appointed
as follows: Mrs. Dandy chairman:
Mrs. Penniwell and Mrs. Anderson.
Mrs. Penniwell was elected a member
Of the board Of directors to fill the

JUDGES CLASH

Federal Court Threatens to

AsHEvILLE. N. c.. July 2s-Unless
United States Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Edward T. Sanford. Rooseveit's
personal representative, succeeds in
his mission as a peacemaker, there
promises to be a clash to-day between
the Federal and state authorities Of
North Carolina.
Judge Pritchard has already dis
charged District Passenger Agent
Wood and Ticket Agent Wilson, of the
Southern Railroad. whom State Judge
Reynolds had previously sentenced TO
thirty days each in the chain gang for
selling tickets in violation Of the new
State 2 Ia cent rate law.
Will Enforce Sentence.
Judge Reynolds insists that he will
still enforce sentence, Judge Pritchard
says he will send him to Jail If he
does, and Governor Glenn has an
nounced he win protect Reynolds with
the militia If necessary.
Another possible source of trouble is
Judge Pritcharfs order prohibiting the
State authorities from proceeding with
more rate prosecutions. In defiance
of this order the prosecutors Of vari-
Gus counties are preparing counts as
rapidly as possible. Judge Pritchard
holds the law unconstitutional in that
il imposes penalties which would
bankrupt any railroad. and by enforc-
ing sentence without awaiting the re-
suit of a rehearing on appeal, denies
the defense the right Of hearing be-
fore the higher courts.
