BERRY PRICES SLUMP,
PICKING IS SUSPENDED

GEORGETOWN. Del. June s.-The
picking season in this section
Of Sussex county is nearing the end and
only the later varieties are now being
gathered for marketing. Notwithstand-
ing the high prices paid for the first OF
the season, farmers say the financial re-
turns have been disappointing
Many farmers in this section have
stopped picking, finding that the prices
do not warrant employing pickers. Many
Of the largest growers have thrown oren
their fields to the townspeople and are
allowing them TO have all the berries
they want for the trouble OF picking
them. while the growers in the districts
further off are allowing the berries to
lie in the fields and rot, before they
will take the trouble and undergo the
expense Of having them picked.

handsome monogram.
In the same line of useful gifts q

bands and silk markers are once more
fashionable, and these are easily made
fourth of a yard of ribbon not more
than four inches wide may be used
for the hat band. A coat marker
can be made with less than an eighth
of a yard of ribbon about six inches

embroidering these letters should be
padded or the papier mache molds
used.

town brought large stones to the grave and
walled it in. making an Enclosure about six feet
wide and 10 feet long Dozens of empty gin
bottles were brought and placed all around the
grave-a very common custom on this coast. The
mound then leveled down and the entire
Enclosure covered with stones and wet sand. At
the head they placed couple of small ivory
tusks. rice bowl containing Wobeh's silver ring
and some kOa nuts. two pitchers and a small
brass kettle. Across these was laid an unsheath-
