week, which is reported to have been
the hottest time we have had in the
past six years. This has been very

compels them to reset many of them.
Plants are not very plentiful around
this vicinity and it is hoped that
they will be able to secure them.

Bathing has been very popular
here among the residents and the
visitors during theepast week on ac-
count Of the warm weather. One
can always get cooled Off when they
touch that cool water in the Della
ware Bay here, as it is most re-
freshing and makes one feel sever
al years younger after taking a dip
in there, especially late in the after
noon, as the sun is getting low and
hasn't so much power.
Owing to the draught which has
prevailed here for the past two
weeks with extremely hot weather
for several days, the farmers are
alarmed about their early truck and
different crops, especially the wheat
crop will be cut short. None of the
farmers have set out any tomato
for the canneries yet, except in a
few instances, and they have all
died on account Of the hot sun and
no rain. Their tomato plants are get
ting too large to set out unless it
rains soon so that they may put
them out. w. J. Warren has rented
a farm near Rehoboth and expects
to put in 70 acres of tomatoes. This
is the largest patch Of tomatoes ever
heard of in this section of the coun-
try. Farmers who are interested in
the milk station at Nassau are also
badly in need of rain for their pas
ture fields and the grass and clover
are drying up.
