Crop conditions in this section have
not been as profitable in many in
stances as they should be- This was
due to the freeze of last May which
was harmful TO strawberries and peas.
As a result, the strawberry crop was
small, except in the vicinity of Selby-
vile. The freeze interfered with the
pea canning industry and the pack
was very small this year. The total
'rop will be about 0ne-fourth of the
Usual amount Of peas
The white potato crop in some Sec
ions was small, and In other districts
he yield was above normal, which
zept the prices up to normal. What
proved 10 be a new venture for ponin-
iula formers. was the culture of sweet
potatoes. and while Delaware sweets
10 not command the prices Of those OF
New Jersey, the crop is fully fifty
per cent. larger than before As
result of this, In some cases the grow
ars have erected storage houses for
sweet potatoes
Wheat and hay crops were about [
normal and the prices prevailing arc A
about the same as those OF the pre- I
viOus year. Sweet corn suffered and I,
despite the fact that the acreage was I
even larger than before, the pack was
smaller.
In speaking of the fruit crop of the b
Peninsula. Mr.. Williams said that ap- h
pies and peaches were failure. OK L
cept In some isolated cases where the h
peach crop was large. as at Harri-
sons nurseries. at Berlin Md. and /
near Dover. The apple crop was (
small in some places in the lower /
section of the state, apples are being /
sold by the quart, something un- ,
heard OF before.
The canning industry was hit a
hard blow by firms outside the state /
coming in and buying the crops from /
the farmers direct. despite the fact /
that farmers had contracts with local /
Gamers. This worked q hardship. /
as the Gamers had contracted for
tomatoes at 50 ton. whereas the out /
side firms paid as high as $50 a ton
When the large yield came on the !
Gamers we're able to secure the prod
uct. but the sale Of the canned goods
has fallen off and in some cases those
who have been compelled to sell have
done so at a loss The oyster indus
try is good and the tongers and catch
ers as well as the dealers are re-
ceiving good prices for their prod
ucts.

from various quarters that the bill
