+ the Retail Grocery Clerks Union,

Of the Retail Grocery Clerks Union,
called at the District building this after
noon to borrow pure food inspector.
Mr.. Riggles said he proposes to accom-
pany the inspector to certain establish
ments next Sunday morning and call his
attention to foodstuffs. particularly "fresh
meats that are not fresh,'' and vegetables
in various stages of "defunctness" that
are sold to people of the poorer classes.
He was armed with copy of the pure
food law when he called upon the Dis
trict Commissioners today. They have
taken his proposition under advisement.
Business Agent Riggles says he pro-
poses to demonstrate that on Sundays
when the inspectors are not on duty
certain INSCRIPTIONS dealers work of on
their customers much meat and vegetables
that are unsound, thereby causing sick
ness. He says his union is backing him
in the movement with ultimate purpose Of
having the stores closed on Sundays as
tight as Jersey clans.

WORST DRY SPELL IN YEARS

WILMINGTON, Del, July 14.-lf the
drought which has prevailed for montn
continues the tomato crop in Maryland,
Delaware and New Jersey will be reduced
more than one-half from the yield of last
year. This serious state Of affairs was
learned at a meeting here of the Tristate
Packers Association. which comprises
three fourths Of all the packers in these
three states. The meeting was held
primarily to ascertain the comparative
acreage of tomatoes. The acreage con-
tracted for is the same as last year. Inc
serious drouth occupied nearly all Of the
discussion.
The total tomato pack of the members
of the association last year was 7,JOO,0VO
cases. If the existing drouth 10 soon
broken the crop may be normal, but If 1t
continues, as is feared. the yield Will be
lessened one-half or more.
The meeting adjourned until August ~.
when another session will be held here
to learn actual crop conditions. This Will
be at the opening of the canning season.
Fields Burning Up.
PERUVIAN, Md, July 14.-Harford
county farmers who have been praying
for rain felt sure that they would get at
least part of Sunday evenings storm,
but their hopes were shattered. A light
shower fell about $40 o'clock, but it did
the crops no good. 1t has been eight
weeks since a rain of any consequence
has fallen, and the crops are burning up.
The pasture fields are dry and hard, and
the farmers are feeding their cattle on
grain. The situation in Hartford county
is most serious. and unless rain comes
shortly the wells will go dry. 1t is the
worst dry spell recalled in ten years.
Late corn is shriveling up and the roots
of timothy fields are dead.
Severely Hurt by Drouth.
CENTERVIIALE. Nd. July 1.-The
shower which fell Sunday night broke
drouth that has held this section for
twenty-eight days. The rain. although
thing had shown the effects of the drouth,
and many small farmers will be forced to
sell out this fall.
The wheat crop was a dismal failure
nowhere moro than half crop, and in
some places the yield was only Six bush
els to the acre-not enough to pay for
planting and harvesting The pasture is
destroyed. Only few farmers saved hay.
Early corn, which is about two-thirds
Of the crop Of the county, looks bad The
corn has gone to tassel without having
formed the shoot, and grain men say the
ear that forms now will not mature
properly. Late corn is not hurt so badly.
The tomato crop is also greatly injured
dwarfed and thousands of blossoms have
withered and dropped from the vines. The
tomato-canning industry In the county
will be crippled.
