Farmers!
Those farmers in this section who
grew tomatoes for the canneries and
buyers, are about disguested with
that crop. The yield was good but
the prices received were the lowest
ever known here; as low as five
cents per basket was paid and
large majority of them have sold
for less than ten cents. 1t is a ques- |
tion whether local growers will !
plant this crop next year unless |
contracted for. This year the can
ners refused to contract with the |
growers and number took a
chance-and lost.

Good Corn Crop
The late planted corn crop is be-
ing cut and soon husking corn will
engage the attention of Broadkiln

ly the early planted, and the rains
of the past two weeks turned the
late planted corn into fair instead
of a short crop.

Beautiful Flow ers
Dahlias in the gardens in and
about Milton are beautiful, but the
display at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Guyer, on the Milton-Har-
beson road, is a riot of color and
with the numerous Gamma lilies
nearby are we'll worth seeing. While
on the subject of flowers we wish to
call attention to the flower plots at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Mason, at Harbeson. This is one of
the most improved garden plots be-
tween Milton and Rehoboth and re-
fleets credit upon Mrs. Mason's ar
tistic arrangement of flowers and
plants.
