ing the cut wheat to sprout, which
means its ruin.
This condition is prevailing all
through the State and will mean a loss
OF hundreds Of thousands OF dollars
20 farmers. II will bring disaster to
those farmers who raise wheat only,
and do not go in for varied crops.
One wheat grower at State Road to-
day estimates his loss already at $1,000,
his entire crop having started to sprout.
Wheat is not the only crop being af-
fected by the rain. According to in
formation obtained from farmers to-
day. potatoes in the ground have be-
come soggy and are beginning 10 rot,
and peaches and plums also are begin
ming to show signs Of decay. If this
condition continues it may mean the
destruction Of the promising peNch
crop.
In the vineyards Of Kent county the
rot is beginning to appear and the
yield may be greatly reduced II not
killed unless the cloudbursts cease
soon.
Greater damage may be caused. too,
should the rain be followed by a blist-
ering hot spell that would dry up the
water-soaked fruit and vegetables, par
ticularly tomatoes.

FOR
COPS NOT FEASIBLE.
Could Not be Adopted With
Present Quota, Says
Chief Black
NOT ENOUGH MEN
TO COVER CITY NOW

Asserting. that the adoption OF the
three platoon system for policemen in
Wilmington at this time is a
physical impossibility, Chief OF Po-
lice Black today explained that
ne had considered such a plan for
the department years ago, but had
found that u was notN feasible The
principal objection TO the scheme, he
said is because at the present time
the city is not getting the protection
it should have because of the vacancies
now existing, coupled with the fact
that the vacation season is on. As a
result OF these conditions there are
officers who never see a partner-Ofilcer
on their district throughout the night.
which is wrong, according to Chief
Black, who contends that at night two
officers should travel each beat to-
gether.
The three platoon plan, which is ad-
vocated by some Of the patrolmen, is
used in large cities. but the men in
such cases, while on street duty eight
hours, are required to spend eight
hours in the police stations as reserve
officers.
Those officers who oppose any change
in Wilmington contend that The plan
under which they work calls for a lit
Tie less than nine hours daily, and
when they are i'll they are paid, where
as in other places the men receive no
pay while Off duty
Another feature which shows that an
eigh-hour force in Wilmington would
not work with the present department
recruited TO its Giil quota is that Phila-
delphia and elsewhere where the eight
hour shifts are employed the street
men patrol beats instead OF districts
and are not ca.fel on TO investigate
robberies. etc. These beats embrace
but four city blocks Whie a district
in Wilmington includes on extensive
area such as Fourth and Eighth streets
and Market to Madison streets.
1t was also said that before the
"swngs" could be placed in
operation it would require an addi-
tional expenditure Of $4,000 to pay
officers to be stationed ri the police
in addition 90 the greah
number Of stceet men who would be
