PEACH SHIPMENTS NOW

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, July 1.-THE abun-
dance OF apples being harvested in Kent
county and in anticipation OF a large
crop, Notwithstanding the predictions
that the late frosts had killed many,
preparations are being made to handle
this years fruit crop by steamboat as
well as railroad transportation.
After consultation between the own
ers Of the steamboat City of Dover and
other parties interested in the fruit
shipping of the present season. it was
decided to place the steamer City of
Dover on the route of last year, between
Dover and Philadelphia. starting at the
Lebanon wharf, on next Tuesday, July
Is. This boat will make stops at Bar
ker's Landing and Bowers Beach and
possibly at some smaller towns along
the Delaware river. The boat has been
overhauled and an experienced crew of
men will be placed in charge of her for
the summers work.
The early apple shipments continue in
central Kent county. said shipments

the large size. True the crop will be
short and the shipments of the past
week have shown the results of the
frosts. The shipments last year of early
apples up to the same time this year
were 50,792 baskets Last weeks ship
ments showed but 1864 baskets. These
shipments include only those shipped
over the Delaware railroad.
Peaches are being shipped in small
quantities at the present time and true
to the prophecy of the large peach
growers in central Kent county, the
crop will be far in advance of last year
Thus far but 232 baskets have been
shipped in comparison TO III shipped last
year up TO the same time.
Potatoes which were supposed to have
been very badly injured late this spring
are showing increased yields over last
year The shipments over the Delaware
railroad up TO this time last year were
1905 barrels while up TO the present
time there have been shipped 1850 bar
rels
The wheat crop will possibly be the
crop that will suffer most because OF
mould caused by the heavy rains the
two days after the cutting this year.
