The cold spell of the past week
caused a rush in orders for coal and
the Clayton yards, like other places
are not receiving coal in sufficient
quantities to give their customers
what they want. Coal, as fast as it
arrives is being dealt out in limited
quantities to make it go around.
The record for the largest yield of
tomatoes this season in Kent county,
Md, is claimed by Ernest Briscoe, ten
ant on the Kelly farm, near Betterton.
He picked 100 tons from eight acres
or 5000 baskets for which he got ST.
200 an average of $3.50 per acre, an
exceedingly profitable crop compared
with wheat or corn.
