TOMATO MART
Thousands of Baskets Being
Shipped Daily by Trucks
to n. ]. Markets
ONE YIELD BRINGS $1,000

The tomato season around Smyr-
ma and vicinity has practically end
ed, the canneries being also closed.
There were fewer tomatoes this
season in this vicinity than there
has been for number of years,
owing to the heavy rains. Prices
have been ranging from % to 40
cents per basket. Down the state
thousands of baskets of tomatoes
are being shipped daily from Fred
erica, central shipping point for
many growers of the Milford sec
ton. Buyers at Frederica have
been purchasing tomatoes and
shipping them by trucks to New
Jersey markets. One Gay last week
a buyer at this point shipped 4,400
baskets by truck and had that
many more stacked for shipment.
1t is said that prices have been
ranging from 27 cents to A cents
for a 5-S bushel basket, according
to the quality of the tomatoes.
Quite a number of loads have
brought the top figure. While there
has seemingly been a large crop of
tomatoes the yield has not been
general. Some farmers have had
bumper crops while their neighbors
have had poor ones. Those who
have had fairly good yields have
made some money. It is reported
that one farmer has picked over
81 900 worth from his farm. The
packing plants at Milford are not
canning tomatoes this year, but
are devoting their plants to beans.
Factories in nearby towns however,
are packing tomatoes, some on
contract prices and some buying on
the open market. Many truckers
are picking up tomatoes through
the country and carrying them to
market for farmers.

SEE GOOD SHAD SEASON, 1885
Shad Season of 1884 i'm Delaware
River Best For Past Ten Years

Shad Season of 1884 in Delaware
River Best For Past Ten Years
While it is a long time until next
shad season in the Delaware River,
reports from parties who have been
fishing in the upper Delaware
around Delaware Water Gap, indi-
cate that next shad season should
be a good one. It is said that more
young Shad have been seen floating
on the surface of the water dead
this season than for many years
and that the shallow water above
the Gap has been thick with young
shad ever since spawning season.
The dead shad are those which
have been killed by other fish. Per-
sons who have been fishing recent
ly in the upper Delaware where the
shad spawn, trying their luck for
bass and pike, say that the fishing
for these species of fish is poorer
there this season than for long
time The reason advanced is that
the bass and pike are eating SC
many of the young shad that they
will not take the hook as they or
dinarily do there. The shad season
of 1884 in the Delaware River was
the best for the past ten years.

ed and elated that almost forgot
to join in. / doubt if that old
building ever rang out with greater

the repeal of the 18th Amendment

Is a great undertaking to down this
demon and it will never be done
entirely while time lasts. But, for
