grown and most of the fodder save
to the satisfaction of those who groN
corn. With heavy rainfall the far

ably be sown in the same approx

prospects for a good crop of swee
potatoes, farmers have no grea

not different from other states and
has people of this same class, who
break the laws, resist arrest and de-
stroy property of those who incur
their animosity. That they often
escape the clutches of the police
and the legal machinery provided for
protection of the people, is the re-
suit of individual cowardice and gen
eral dislike to start prosecutions of
criminals, that exists to an extent
that is hardly comprehensive. More
individual respect for law and its
enforcement is needed.

A DRIVE through Delaware and
the counties of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, reveals the fact, that the
crop of tomatoes grown this season
is remarkable ior quantity and quail
ity of the crop now being harvested
and put into cans, or worked up into
catsup in the scores of canneries
scattered over the entire peninsula.
This condition appears to be general
in other states where the tomato is
grown as a crop for canning pur-
poses. For many weeks the growers
proclaimed that the acreage was
small. because the dry weather pre-
vented setting of plants Then the
blight was announced as killing a
large part of the acreage that was
set out. Then again the dry weather
was reported as reducing the out
look for a tomato crop to that of
almost failure. At ripening season
it was found that unusually large
quantities of early tomatoes were
filing the city markets and later, the
canneries which depended upon
buying the tomatoes in open mar
ket, found a plentiful supply near
at hand in all sections where toma-
toes were grown. The fields OF Sus-
sex, Dorchester, Talbot and Kent
counties have been red with ripe to-
matoes covering the fields in which
they were grown, while the factor
les have been filled to their capacity
in every section. The price has
been low on the open market, even
where they could be sold to buyers
in quantity, but those who contract
ed with the Gamers, will have no
cause for complaint at the end of
the season, for the yield will be far
above that of recent years.

TO THE PEOPLE of Delaware the
fact that a strike by coal miners in
the coal fields of Pennsylvania is on,
there has not as yet came the first
because many of those
who burn hard coal have already
laid in their supply for the coming
winter. When the first frost and
cold weather arrives, then will be
an awakening to the fact, that fuel
of some kind must be provided for
the winter months. There is at pres
ent plenty of anthracite coal mined
to run the country for several ;
while the bituminous coal ]
fields can supply unlimited quanti-
ties for years to come, regardless as
to whether the anthracite miners 4
work or not. Here in Delaware the
air-tight stove is the medium for
burning wood which grows on al
most every farm and il can be used ;
to very good satisfaction by all. In (
all probability though, those who are
fond of announcing, that what was ]
good enough for their fathers, is (
plenty good enough for them and
heir children, will be the first to
hoard coal; those birds are gener-
Ally selfish and it is best to have ]
ioubt about the truth of any state s
nent made even by the most reliable t
# that class. Most of them want all
he comforts of the home, including
-el1 warmed rooms and halls in the l
inter. In the meantime the miners q
re idle. to the extent of more than I
50 900 men, while over 10000 rail- {
Dad men are out of work because
