Crops Around Ellendale

looking uue.
Some fields of tomatoes are IN
fine condition, while others not so
good. The price which the fruit Is
selling for should gladden. the hearts
of farmers. The price the past
week was 40 to AZ cents, tive-elghts
basket.
The recent rains have done won
ders for the soy bean crop. Fields
which looked about parched up, are
now struggling into existence once
more and will give the farmer more
than they expected.
Sweet potatoes are coming alohs'
Some growers are selling Few
while the price is high-sOOn they
will be plentiful and win yield the
farmers some compensation for MS
work.
The late potato crop is maturing
and bids fair to be ample for all
needs. Take the potato away from
a farmers home and you have struck
him a heavy blow. A potato stew
mixed with a few onions is . wei
come dish at all times.
The small lima beans being grown
for the factories are showing up
GOOD in some places, especially IN
Slaughter Neck, we notice some
very handsome fields. This is the
money making crop for the farmer
Watermelons and cantaloupes
will soon be a thing of the past for
this year.
Peaches are growing less daily
and apples seem to be plentiful Ill
some orchards.
Farmers are busy getting their
ground in condition for the so"lns
of scarlet clover seed.
Thieves still ply their trade near
Ellendale. Thieves seem to be aDie
to purloin chickens or other gOous
without fear or hinderance. rms
has been going on for long time'
and does seem that with the strong
police force the State now has some
thing should be done to stop TINS
constant pilfering and bring the
guilty ones to face the law, ana 10
answer for their misdeeds. Ihe
whining post, is still in existence
nerhapg a dozen or two of ''hugging
Susan" might be beneficial with
strong sentence in the Workhouse,
might in a measure cure some OIL
our people of their thieving propen-
stiles.
d. H. Reed of E., had a large
flock of hens and pullets. Ihey
were choice stock, one night last
week some miscreant robbed his hen
house and took the best of his hock'
Mr.. Reed is waiting patiently win
his old blunderbuss, loaded with b:
r. shot for the next visit of the thleI
or thieves and the reception Whlch
he or they will receive will be any
thing but pleasant.
A farmer near her had picked SIX
baskets of tomatoes and also hau
eight empty baskets left over. Some
thief during one night last week
took the six filled baskets, and also
the eight empty baskets, and went
over into his neighbor's patch ana
filled them and carted all away
Just such pilfering as this IS go
ing on at all times. No one seems
TO care or in anyway help to rOun1
up the miscreants,s so they come ahu
take what they want and depart
again with no one to lift a hand TO
aid in their capture.
We often wonder if the people OF
Fllendale and vicinity will ever
wake up-or will they continue to
allow the thieves to purlOin their
belongings. Get busy with a un1ted
effort on the part of the citizens, the
nest of thieves now existing VIII
soon find themselves behind the
bars of some jail.
The Carnival at Milford.
The Carlisle Fire Company is ad-
vertising extensively a Carnival
which they will hold at Milford,
commencing on September 5th and
continuing until September 18th in
elusive.
This year this company will add
more attractions and make things
more pleasant for all those who at
tend.
The people of Glendale owe much
to the Carlisle Fire Company of MIL
ford. They have never failed to
come to the aid of those who have
needed their service, either in the
town or vicinity. We hope the peo-
ple of Ellendale will attend this car
nival and help them in every posi-
BILE way to make the undertaking
success.
No one can tell how soon we may
need the services of this Company
again.
