Havoc in Sussex County,
Threatening All Crops.

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Seaford, Aug. The intense heat
in this section during the past few days
has done considerable damage TO all
growing crops, and 1t is again feared that
unless rain falls in the next fe/ days and
the temperature comes down, that the
crops vii be ruined beyond recovery.
Tomatoes, which are about to ripen
in the fields. are blistering and many
acres are being damaged daily. About
two weeks ago the same kind of weather
prevailed In this section, and had not
rain fallen all the crops would have been
ruined. Corn also is IN bad condition
and some OF the blades are turning yell
low, which is bad sign. Many OF the
growers report that the corn will not
be the best this year, as the ears are not
making as they should.
All other truck and vegetable crops are
showing signs of the heat, and the leaves
are withering and curling. Even grass
m some sections is dying and 1t is feared
some of the pastures will be ruined.
Tho millponds in this section which
we're able 10 operate q few days ago, due

water, are again unable to continue opera

ae feed for cattle IN this section, as nearly

The heat also has had effect on stock
and poultry in this section and some of
the cattle are suffering greatly. In one
case, an entire brood of young turkeys
was overcome by the heat and died.
