THE prospect for Milford saving
the boulevard route and having it
pass at the western edge of Milford,
is very promising now. General
DUPONT has directed that a new
survey be made from Georgetown
to the lakes of Milford, which will
make straight line for seventeen
miles, and miss most of the objec-
tors who were along the first line,
which went down the main high
way from Milford to Ellendale.
The engineers have been accom-
panied this week by large delega-
tion of business men, farmers and
land owners who see the great ad-
vantage of the road to this particu-
lar part of Delaware. Upwards of
sixty per cent of those who own
the land through which the new
survey passes, have signi6ed their
by signing up for the
right of way, and most of the 9TH

sideration, and will probably sign
up for the route in the next week.
This will be a wonderful benefit TO
this part of Sussex county, and it
IS almost certain that ninety per
cent or more will sign up after
over the matter. There

AFTER all the forebodings and
walls that the droughts of thee early
summer would result in famine. and
that the agriculturists of the Mary
land-Delaware peninsula would
face disaster generally, indications
now point TO fair results from the
efforts Of the farmers who resolutely
turned their attention to other crops
to supplant the loss sustained by
the failure Of the early money
bringing dependencies such as the
strawberry. the pea crop, the po-
tato crop and the hay, all of which
were very much shortened by the
prolonged drought of the spring
and early summer. Many have
planted literally of sweet potatoes,
while Others have enlarged the
acreage of tomatoes without pro-
test from the Gamers, and still 9TH
ers have tried side issues of other
crops for both money and proven
der for their stock. It IS difficult
to keep a real energetic farmer
crushed by misfortune resulting
from unfavorable seasons on this /
peninsula. The peach crop was
'hoit, but profitable to those who
lad the trees. The apple crop was
.lso a money winner to those who
lave cared for even the old trees,
While the young trees Of the mod
m varieties have brought fine
