BAD PEA CROP
Gamers and Growers are DisappOit-
ed This Year

The packing of peas was practically
concluded in lower Delaware last
week, the season proving to be very
disappointing one, both for the can
ner and for the grower. When the
peas were sowed it was estimated
that one of the largest packs in the
history of lower Delaware would re-
suit, but the pea louse and lack Of
rain at the needed time played havoc
with the crop.
One large canning firm near Sea-
ford had predicted that its pack this
year would be 10000 cases whereas
the bad crop resulted in their pack
ing only about 5000 cases. The other
Gamers of down-State had about the
same results.
Reports have it now that the out
look for the packers Of tomatoes is
not very promising. Many Of the
farmers have had to replant their
fields, condition said to prevail with
farmers throughout the peninsula.

GIVEN SCARE

Two little girls had narrow escape
from injury last Wednesday when
they fell from the cherry tree at
Delaware avenue and South College
avenue.
The youngsters had climbed the
tree to pick cherries when large
limb broke off and they both came
tumbling to the ground. The children
were not hurt but they were badly
frightened and it is probable that it
will be long time before they climb
a tree again.
