TOWNSEND
Heavy Rains of Friday Do Much Good
to Parched Crops


to Parched Crops
Townsend, July 19.-Heavy rains
on Friday did much to restore the
crops in New Castle county to nor
malcy after a drought which was
causing the crops to be cut in half, the
corn and lima bean crops being hit the
worst. For two hour there was a
steady downpour of rain and while
several washouts occurred no serious
damage was reported.
Tomatoes are selling at 25 cents a
quart and the buyers cannot get
enough at that price at Townsend.
The crop is the largest one for years
and growers are having a good sea-
son.
The funeral of Mrs. Deakyne, held
at the home of her son, Harry Dea-
kyne, last week was largely attended.
Interment in town cemetery.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Burge, Townsend, is the
mother of ten children, all living,
thirty-nine grandchildren and twenty
three great grandchildren. Nine of
her children are married, one son be-
ing single. Mrs. Burge left England
in April, 1865, and is now 81 years of
age. She is in good health and spends
much of her time visiting her many

BLACKblRD
Hay Crop Short, Farmers Are Look
ing to Other PrOvender


ing to Other PrOvender
Blackbird, July 13-Continued dry
weather has ruined much of the hay
grown in this locality, reducing the
crop considerably. Clover and timo-
thy ripened too quickly and before it
had got its growth. Grass sown in
the late spring for next years hay
and pasture has been burned. Some
farmers are short of future hay and
will sow a large acreage of rye to be
utilized as pasture during the open
periods next winter. Others are hous-
ing wheat straw, said to contain con-
siderable fine grass. If they are able
to get this straw in their buildings be-
fore it gets spoiled they will be able
to conserve in the use of hay.
While the supply of hay is short the
quality appears to be exceptionally
good and those who have hay for sale
are asking $40 ton loaded from the
fields. This is considered high fol
green hay, the price fora number OF
years having been So ton.
Those who have oats are selling
them from the fields in the sheaf to
be used as hay and grain. A ready
sale is found at cents a sheaf. Some
will store their oats in the sheaf anC
use them to feed dairy cattle during
the winter instead of silo feed, which
is expected to be very scarce as tn,
result of the drought.
