The recent report from the Weekly
partment of Agriculture recommends
that potatoes being used for hog feed
should have the sprouts removed be-
fore they are fed TO the hogs. 1t is
claimed that the sprouts are danger
Gus for feeding livestock. No i'll ere
suits have been had locally so far as
is known from feeding potatoes with
sprouts. However. II may be well to
watch this matter closely and guard
against any unnecessary loss that may
result from feeding potato sprouts.

Divided pastures for hogs should
be provided in all cases. Do not allow
the alfalfa to grow up but keep it
chopped down, thereby inducing young
growth to start which is the ideal con-

The farmers of Smyrna Clayton and
vicinities are showing much anxiety
over the brought and the torrid hot
sun which under a temperature of "a
to 95 degrees is baking vegetation
up. Unless rain cornes soon the corn
crop will not amount to much as
nearly all the early crop Of sweet corn
is burned badly and it is not expected
that any of the growers will receive
more than one quarter of what was
expected. Late corn is not hurt much
vet, but it is feared it will be as there
is no prospect for any kind of a storm.
The cantaloupe crop is not promising
as many blossoms are falling from the
vines which are drying up fast. The
peach crop is far better than was at
first expected. The steamer Frederick
was loaded at her dock in Frederice
on Monday and it is said there was
taken on at that place more than 5000
baskets of the finest fruit seen ir
Kent county for a number of years.
Most of the fruit came from arOunC
Magnolia, Barkers' Landing and Eel
ton. One thing was noticeable-nOn'
of the growers would sell to th'
spectators always found at any land
ing where the boat stops. The grow
ers took their own risk and went t.
market with their fruit where the.
sell it on the pier in Philadelphia
They save what they have to pay tn
commission men, and have no report
of shortage of baskets. Hot weathe
