The tomato season closed in this
section last week, when the Atlantic
Canning Company of RehObOth Beach
closed down their plant. A. F. Ander-
son, our local Gamer, closed his plant
week before last. The tomato crop
this year was a failure for nearly all
the farmers; while some very few |
realized a fair crop. 1t is said that
some of the farmers didn't realize 100 |
baskets to the acre. The reason for the
short crop largely is laid to the fact
that we had so much rain fall.
