SUSSEX MAY CUT
TOMATO GROWING

GEORGETOWN. Del, Sept i3.-
Whether the peninsula, said TO be the
greatest tomato-growing section in the
country, Will ever grow as much as
half Of the present crop again, is a
serious question. For the FIRST time In
It's history twice the usual acreage. has
been planted and picked, and the re-
suit has been peculiar. Some have
made money, while many have lost.
Yesterday was a fair sample OF the
oddities Of the years tomato market.
when the price fluctuated within ten
hours from sixty cents a basket to
fourteen cents. The shortage Of cans.
the poor quality OF the late crop and
the heavy overprOduction combined TO
bring about this condition. Hundreds
Of farmers are plowing up their to-
matO fields for winter wheat. and hun
dreds more assert they win never grow
another tomato.
Prices during the season have ranged
from ten cents a basket 10 Sis5 but
with a fair average Of about forty
cents. a price that ought TO show
profit TO the growers.

Of the enemy forces were hurled in

The first German guard division
yesterday suffered a most severe
beating at Grivesnes. At 1920 o'clock
in the morning the guards attacked
with the greatest fury and after hours
of the closest lighting they succeeded
in getting footing in the village.
Two hours later the guards were
elected pell-mell by a magnificent
counter attack at the point Of the
bayonet.
This was not the end, however. the
Germans came back again time after
time preceded by a heavy artillery
barrage. In the grounds of the
Griyesnes castle the F'renchmen went
to meet them and fought them back
with bayonets and rifle butts, maxi

grilling fire from automatic rifles,
mounted on armored motor cars.

up many groups of prisoners which
had become isolated from the main
bodies during the receding move
