Delaware Crop
Statistician Reports
Fruits and Berries are Hardest Hit
Grains Were Also Harmed
by Belated Frosts

Belated frosts and freezes were the
dominant features in the Delaware
crop situation during April. Fruits,
berries and early truck bore the brunt
of the fitful weather, though the win
ter grains and the grasses did not go
unscathed. According to statement
issued recently to the press by John
S. Dennee, Delaware crop statistician
for the United States Bureau of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates, a five per
cent decline (93 to 88) in the wheat
prospect resulted; but May 1 found
the condition of wheat quite in line
with the 10-year average of condition
for that date. Barring anything but
average variations from now on, the
ll7OOO acres ought to produce an
proximately 100000 bushels. Final
estimate for 1921 was 1,3OO,O
bushels. Average production for the
5-year period G917-2D was 1885,
900 bushels. Approximately 2 per
cent of the area sown last fall will not
be harvested.
Rye is 80 per cent of normal and
is wholly up to the 10-year average of
condition for May 1. Ninety per cent
suggests a per acre yield of 14.4
bushels and a probable production of
$4,000 bushels, assuming average con-
dltions to prevail thereafter. Produc-
tlon last year was $4,000 bushels !:
two years ago $4,000; and three years
ago $4,000.
The hay prospect was dimmed dur
ing the closing days of April by be-
lated frosts and freezes. Eighty-six
per cent was the condition of meadow
lands on May L; also the 1O-year
average. The expected hay acreage
in 1922 is about $4,000 acres (74,O0O
tame and 1000 wild). May 1 condi-
tlon suggests a probable production
of approximately $4,000 tons, COM
pared with $4,000 last year, and 1O6,-
600 two years ago..
Stocks of hay on farms on May 1
are estlmated as lO,OOO tons ola per
cent of crop, against $4,000 tons
(15 per cent? a year ago.
Pastures e(83 per cent) are slightly
better than the 10-year average for
May l, but leave much to be desired.
The weather has been too cool and
locally too dry.
Flowing 10 per cent completed
against II year ago, and 63 per cent
the 1O-year average for May 1.
Sowing and planting is reported 80
per cent done, against SO per cent the
average accomplished during the past
ten years.
Farmers say that live stock
throughout Delaware is in good to
very good condition of normal health
fulness; Horses SO per cent, cattle
95, sheep SO, and swine 90.

The summary suit at the right,

sleeves, is evidently Chinese In
spiration, with embroidery of silk In
a motif that Is repeated on the
straight blouse, which is made ex-
pressly for the suit in a vivid, con-
trasting color. 1t tells little of rivals
in its own class, but entices us to
investigate for ourselves among suits
that will repay and charm us.
In the matter of becomingness the
widely varied styles in formal suits
are great advantage and every
woman may look for a type that seems
as If made especially for her. If she
doesn't find Il among the numerous
two-piece models she will run across
1t somewhere in the collections of
other "tailleurs." Every woman
should possess plain, utility suit and
the next most useful article in her
wardrobe is dressier suit.

G TREET clothes, or 'tailor-mades, +"
~ have become SO diversified in style
that they must be classified as two
piece suits, three.piece suits, cape
suits, coat-frocls, one-piece dresses,
and no one knows what next Each
Of these divisions has it's own story,
but that of the two-piece suit COM
pels most attention; none of the 9TH
ers has the same widespread follow
ing.
The story of the two-piece tailor
made is long and interesting. It be-
gins with plain utility suits for
street or country or travel, and ends
with formal suits, that draw style in
spiration from many sources, and go
their independent way wherever they
will. An example of each of these is
shown here, and that Of the utility
suit at the left is typical of nearly
all such suits, Willie that of the cos
tune suit at the right speaks for It,
self alone. Twee1s and h0espuns
in the spring styles have not
eclipsed the twills, tricotines, coverts
and serges that are always with us,
but they have managed to occupy a
good part of the horizon. They were
introduced early, in many new, spring
time colors, and they made an in
slant success. They are made with
plain skirts and long, smartly tailored
coats, without adornment, other than

THE hearts of the bride, her maids
! and milliners are all set a-fut-
ter when the momentous question of
headwear for her attendants comes
up. They all know that the success
Of beautiful pageant depends upon
its GROWING glory, and each maid
pPays for a becoming hat-one that
will do all that hat can do for fair
faces. The genius of milliners CLOVIS
In the creation of lovely things for
great occasions that call for the pic
turesque and leave their fancy un-
hampered. They revel in airy ma
terials, graceful shapes, beautiful
colors and make the most Of such
opportunities.
In the group of hats shown here,
maids will find cause for rejoicing.
They reveal the fine hand Of the artist
who knows how to take advantage Of
the mode and manipulate 1t to suit
the occasion, and to insure becoming
ness. They are a flattering lot and
include the beloved lace hat and a
brown malines model which fashion
smiles upon. When this years brides
maids hat is not in a pale color or
