BOWERS

A more OppOrtune time seldom oc-
Cured for the transplanting of plants
and especially tomato plants than has
occurred since Friday of last week
when the much needed rain came, and
more especially with those who had
tomato acreages to transplant
There had been but comparatively
few of the growers in this section that
had set their crops before the rain
came but on Saturday following there
were tens of thousands of plants trans
planted and the cloudy, favorable
.weather that followed was all that
could be desired by the growers. Other
plants of various kinds have been
properly transplanted and farmers and
truckers are much relieved of that
work.
The fishing season with haul
seines, so far as the large seines are
concerned, is about over, and taken
altogether it has been a poor one at
this shore, so far as the amount of
fish caught Had it not been for the
unprecedented prices obtained for the
fish that have been caught the fish
season at this point would have been
complete failure. However, the
erably with the fishermen and those
who had invested in the business. The
small seines that are used for sum-

not afford to pay the prices that the
fish would bring direct from the boats.
But such is fact and can not be avoid

experienced fishermen that a poor fish
season usually follows a mild winter
and the adage has surely made good
this year.
The hotels here were filled to their
capacity this weekend. A part of the
guests expect to remain some time,
others only for the weekend but the
majority are inclined to fishing with
hook and line in the bay. The splen-
did catches of late with hook and line
are bringing the old anglers here who
know the opportunities offered for
their success and sport, beside many
strangers who have never visited this
place before. 1t is a notable occur
renee that We see so many automo-
biles from the near counties in Penn
syllgs;.isiia as Iar up as Lancaster, also
many from New Jersey and the East
ern Shore of Maryland and Virginia.
This place is becoming noted for such
sport and the accessibilities and the
facilities offered are always at hand
for their accommodation.
