The Middletown base ball club went
down to defeat at the hands Of the Dover
club on Saturday afternoon. The visitors
had a htrong nine, Downs being very
effective and swift with his curves. With

two other players from distance. With
the exception Of one bad inning, the
third, when six men Tailed, the contest
was exciting and close. 1t was hard
game for the locals to lose, and was q
great disappointment to the home club.
The score by innings:

FARMERS SECRET SOCIETY

After making q study Of the way Of
farmers in their busy seasons of the year,
we have concluded that none OF the se-
cret societies, with all their professions Of
brotherly love, plus secret signs and grips.
are equal to the brotherly love that exists
between farm neighbOrs. When Jones iu
in gripe, Smith and his neighbors 20
down aud help Jones, and they do il
wish Q will. And IL is the same when
Smith needs help with his work. The
farmers appear to have among themselves
something that men ell over the world,
men in every walk of life, ought to have
but have not. We refer TO that feeling
OF comradeship with one another. In
other words, it is the farmers secret
society that is not secret.

DELAWAhE,s FRUIT CROP
Heavy Shipments of Apples
and Peaches

Il
The RaiIrosd Company reports that ~
| to Monday Of this week, 10 has shipped
2SS, ,OSS large baskets Of apples known ai
ssyen.eighths. The company moved in
one day last week, besides those sent By
boat. l2. .26S large baskets. AZ the grow
era received from forty-6ve to 81 per
basket for these apples, some idea Of the
cash flowing can be CompFehended.
Young apple trees everywhere seem to
have begun to beaE. Compared with
1909. the totals are surprising. In 1909,
on July 18th, for instance, the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad handled only l,S96 baskets,
ia 1910, same day. the farmers shipped
ont u. .26s baskets. In 1909 the total to
July 18th, was only 10, ,736 baskets; while
in 1910, same day, the shipments reached
295, 800 baskets.
The shipment Of peaches hSs increased,
although yet very early in the season,
until the total Monday over the railroad
was 1880. This does not count the
shousands Of baskets being shipped 20
Philadelphia by boat. That Delaware ip
10 have q peach crop this year is evi.
denced from the fact that the Pennsyl.
vania Railroads total shipments at this
time last year showed but SSs baskets.
About 1900 baskets of peaches were
shipped last Saturday, while on Friday
the total by rail was S,lSS. The Della.
ware peaches this year are juicy and full
of favor, whether small or large. Plums
are becoming a gigantic branch of the
fruit industry in Delaware. Thus far this |
season, 62O,S7O pounds Of plums repre-.
sents the total Consignments over the |
road, and the season is still
on, with thousands Of baskets Of this
fruit also being shipped by river boats
and packets.
