Delaware Peaches a Failure

n Delaware peaches and Delaware
grapes will be minus quantity this
year and what has been looked forward
to by our fruit culturists as paying
crop, will have to be passed up with re-
gret Of both growers and consumers.
The late spring freeze and the prolong-
ed drought have about finished all
prospects of a crop. Speaking of
peaches, Wilmington commission
merchant returned last week from a
trip through the orchards Of the State,
and he was unable to find single or
chard which will produce as much as q
basket of peaches. He personally in
spected Is of what are normally the
most prolific producers of fine fruit.
Not one of them will have any peaches
for sale this year. One especially strik-
ing instance was an orchard to whose
owner last year was paid more than
$25O0. This year the. orchard owner
offered the whole product of his trees
for SIS, and admitted that the commits
sion merchant would probably lose
money if he accepted the offer.

pointed to investigate the cause of the
present agricultural situation.
