the past, and every thing IS being gotten
in readiness for the approach of the berry
season which will he on within the next
four weeks barring setbacks. The acreage
in lower Delaware this season is greater

sold his field of about seven acres for
more than $4,000, while farmer in Days
boro district got about 81, 600 from five
