MOI So Prolific Here as Down The
Lower Par, OF The Peninsula
AS soon as this unseasonablv cold
weather is gone and warm weather
sets in, the strawberry crop will be
on. The prospect is very promising
for this section. Of late years how
ever, strawberry culture has not been
as extensively entered into in unner
Kent as in the lower part of the
Peninsula. Farmers find if moro
profitable to use their land for.
tomatoes and other crops. DESPITE
this fact there will be a considerable
crop in this section and Steamer
Brady is preparing to handle the out
put as well as the railroad line. In
Sussex, strawberry culture is entered
into as one of the most reliable and
staple crops. 1t puts thousands of
dollars in circulation and is making
some of the larger growers independ-
ent. Representative Oliver Newton

fortune in a single year by discover
ing a method of adapting unused land
