1t will be well to decorate the
graves of our parents, brothers, sis
ters or other relatives on DecOra-

Perhaps the veil will be lifted anC
those who now have a home in the
Golden City may be looking this
way. Who knows?
Crops Around Ellendale
The peach, pear, apple and cherry
crop around this section seems to
promise an abundant output the
present season. The trees are full of
fruit and if nothing interferes with
the maturing there will be a full
crop and plenty for everybody.
The strawberry fields look very
promising. While some of the early
blooms, We're killed, the later blooms
seem to have made berries which
will be late getting on the market.
About June the first win see the
first berries gathered.
The blackberry crop is coming
along line. The recent rains bids
fair to make this one Of.. the main
crops of money makers to those far
mers who grow them.
The fields Of corn which have
been planted are up and growing.
: he later or low ground crop will
be planted sometime in June.
Tie acrea5a which has bean put
ia asparagus looks as fine as The
writer has eVe' seen. The prices are
very low, hardly paying for Tie eV-
pensc of cutting and shipping It.
This was once money making
crop for the farmer, but the market
has been oVerstocked this year. Too
much was raised.
Crimson clover is fine and will
soon be ready for the mower.
Wheat and rye fields are looking
fine. Some rye fields have made eX-
ira growth this year and will yield
an abundant crop.
Farmers are hesitating about set
ting out tomato plants. If there is
not something. done to prevent our
markets being flooded with cheap
foreign goods the farmers of Deia-
ware will have 10 retire from the
of raising tomatoes entire
ly.
Early potatoes are now coming
at a rapid rate. Those who
planted early, the frost nipped them.
1t now seems we would have plenty
potatoes to eat and some to spare
to put upon the market and in this
way the farmer can put a few extra
dollars in their pockets.
The town people who nave gar
dens are now enjoying radishes and
greens, home grown; peas, beans,
lettuce, onions and beets will soon |
mature and then there will COM
mence that way of living which only
those who reside in the country can
enjoy.
We can say to our city friends,
come here and see what nature can
do in the way of air and those
things of body building capacity |
which will give new life to those
whose whole existence has been |
spent in the confines of some city.
Redden Letter
What has become of the cOrre-
spondent who. used to write for the
Chronicle and telling, the news |
which happened in and around Red

The writer is always interested in;

'hicken Thieves Around
Chicken thieves have again been
lying their trade around Glendale
nd elsewhere. Some people in and
round town have lost some chick

hicken houses partly broken into

A watch is being kept for those

We should think the wholesale
up of chicken thieves in G
her parts of the county would be
