TOMATO CROP
IN MARYLAND
Market i'm Kent County, Mary
lald, Unsurpassed with Buy
ers Eager for Red Fruit
REPORT 9 TONS PER ACRE

1884 will be written as the great
est tomato year in the history of
Kent county, Md. While the yield
per acre as rule has been low, the
number of acres planted have been
unusually large and the total yield
will be nearly a million baskets.
The price has been very satisfac-
tory to the growers averaging 25
cents for the season. This means
that $25O,OOO has been paid the to-
mato farmers of this section most
of which has been earned by Kent
countians. This sum is only a
part of the money which comes to
the community. Scores of trucks
have been employed carrying
thousands of baskets of tomatoes
to Campbells in Camden, N. j., at
z cents per basket and other thous-
ands Of baskets to Phillips Bros, in
Cambridge, Md, at 5 cents each.
Then there are pickers and the
tomato crop, making it one of the
most valuable adjuncts of our
farming system. Baldwin's Can
merry at Chestertown closed Wed
nesday having bought on the mar
ket about 10000 baskets. Labor
from Baltimore was used mostly. A
17-year-old boy was taken quite
sick the last week OF his stay at
Chestertown and neglected to Be
treated for appendicitis. Upon his
arrival at the Baltimore hospital it
was too late to save him and he
died. Webster and Co., Rock Hall,
is still in operation using mostly
local help. He has bought on the
market more than 10000 baskets
and also contracted for some early
fruit at 20 cents. The Lynch Can
merry owned by Webster and Co.,
and managed by MrPoole, has en-
ployed all local help and packed
about 10000 baskets Hackett's
Cannery at Still Pond contracted
for small acreage at 18 cents and
has used about $4,000 baskets US
ing local labor mostly Some Mas
sey growers contracted at IL cents
for a Delaware cannery but were
promised a better price when the
final payment was made. Metcalfe
Bros. have bought for Campbell
and other Gamers. They think
their total shipment will amount to
300, 900 baskets. Kibler Bros. have
shipped their tomatoes by boat to
their destinations. They have not
added up the total but we would
judge their purchases would
amount to 100000 baskets, maybe
more. Capt William H. Cooper, at
the foot of High street, has been a
good buyer and estimates his ship
ments as high as 10000 baskets.
Among the growers with good
yields we. mention Howard Hada-
way, Albert Groves and Albert
Lewis, all near Fairlee. Mr.. Had
away has sold 9 tons per acre off
Is acres. Mr.. Lewis has shipped 9
tons per acre off of 20 acres and
still picking while Mr.. Groves also
will likely have over tons per
acre. A colored man near Chester
bridge realized S188 off two acres
while another got $50 off one-four-
tn an acre.

Autumn
By D. C. PEATTH.

JUST aS there iS one family OF
flowers which predominates over
all others In Autumn. the daisy or
aster family. so there Is one order Of
insects that reaches its elimination
in the Fall. biologists call it the
Orthoptera, and 1t numbers In its ranks

and the grasshopper. Oddly enough,
It does not include the cicadas, though
they, too. are partly autunnal. and

have spoken Of the cricket, the
grasshopper, the locust, but I should
have put them In the plural, for In
truth there are many kinds, and they
inhabit In Autumn all the dry habi-
tats. from the ragweed by the road
side to the tops Of the oaks and hick-
cries. The cricket which gets in your
house In Autumn Is usually the Penn
sylvania cricket, known by his loud
intermittent chirps. In many Ian
guages the cricket Is called the cri-
cri, and Of course our English word
is but variant upon 1t. One of our
strangest crickets around Washington
Is the greenhouse cricket, which has
spread here recently from the tropics,
and emits . shrill, persistent trill.
Under grass and fallen leaves, under
rocks and old boards dwells the Janus
cricket, which sings until December,
in 0 weak. iow-pitched trilling voice.
I am not sure that Gryllus domesti-
Gus, the cricket-on.the-hearth Of Eu-
ropean legend, Is not sometimes found
around Warrington, and Of mole
crickets we have abundance IN FAN.
So far Is I know the mole cricket Is
the only insect of which the male
makes himself . separate house purely
for the purpose, apparently, Of shell
ter, without the usual motive Of
Information, reproduction, incubation
or any other vital function. He lives
IN bachelor quarters.
This does not mean that he does
not interest himself In lady crickets.

one Of the most popular among the

Wherever 1t Is seen 1t Is usually

It might be worth while to take the

more than his opening bid. and cam
not force at any time.
The opening lead by East was the

q minor tenace because his normal

South. West won the trick with the

small club. North came up with

ond Of rspid thought, refused to win
the trick. He decided his partner
did not hold the queen Of clubs, and
hoped to create the impression In
the declArer's mind that the ace was
behind North,s probable holding Of
king-queen-sman. II North or West
led clubs again. East would get two
club tricks.
North, however, suspected what
was going On. He decided sioomily
that he was going 70 lose two clubs
and two hearts On the hand. There
was only one chance Of making the
contract-set up long diamond On
which to discard . losing club. And
n East hadn't been % bright, he
would have ret the contract before
North got that chance, By winning
with the ace Of clubs and returning

played back and trumped In de-
clarer's hand. At this point, North
had to run one more diamond and
