water to escape from both the up
per and lower ponds. Owing to the
heavy rainfall during the past sew.
eral weeks the ponds have received
much water from the interior
swamp lands and it was necessary
to turn 1t into the Broadkiln river
in order to save the dams.
Trout fishermen at Broadkiln
Beach are catching large quantities
of these fish. There are several
large seins fished here and dealers
from Wilmington and the interior
towns are being supplied. Many
hardheads are also being taken. The
trout are of large size and the ped
dlers are having no trouble in dis
posing of them to Milton housewives.
In few weeks many farmers will
visit this resort and salt bushels of
trout for the family use during the
coming winter
Some of the cottages at Broadkiln
Beach are being renovated for the
opening of the season, on Memorial
Day. This resort is growing in pop
ularity steadily because of the fine
bathing and hook and line fishing
afforded.
Land for the planting of lima
beans for the factories is being pre-
pared for the first crop. which will
be planted about the middle of June
From that time until the middle of
July successive crops will be plant
ed. This is done in order that the
factories may handle the crop
steadily instead of being rushed in
a shorter season. with the result
that the beans packed are green
and tender. The pea crop was plant
ed late owing to cold weather dur
ing February, the usual time of
planting, and this crop will be a few
days later than usual. They are
looking fine and growing rapidly.
