GLENDALE

Hot suns and heavy rainfall have
caused the corn crop TO ripen rapidly
and farmers are hard pressed to Sc
cure labor to cut and shock the corn,
while the dense clouds of mosquitoes
make life miserable for the laborers.
The price for saving fodder this year
in this vicinity is fixed at S4 per day.
and labor is very Independent about
working under the conditions. This
is about the last real crop-saving job
the farmers will have, and those who
labor will do well to take advantage
of the opportunity to add to their sup
ply of cash for the Winter.
The tomato crop is practically a

A daily occurrence during the fruit

On Friday last a touring car enroute
for Rehoboth, occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Cannon. from Baltimore, drove
into our yard looking for fruit and
for the family use. We
loaded their car with watermelons,
tomatoes, sweet cider,
and they departed happy. As they
left, car from Camden, n. j., came
in for melons. While that was here,
another car from Dover came in and
loaded with melons. We might have
waited twenty years for strangers to
have come to our place like these had
not the boulevard made this kind of
travel possible We opposed the
of the splendid concrete road
before it was built-but now we see
he error of our opposition. Can it
be possible that other questions will
turn out to be blessings in the fu-
.ure?
