Condemned as unfit for service
between Love Point and Baltimore,
the ferry boat philadelphia" which
was on its way to New York, con
voyed by the tug Chelsea, put into
port here on Monday with a badly
leaking boiler. The crew of 80 MEM
bers was abrOard and some of them
left here after the vessel docked,
for New York. The ferry boat left
Baltimore on Saturday at which

With the harvesting of salt marsh
hay now at its height in Sussex
farmers of this section are
reporting forty per cent increase
in production over previous years.
due, they believe, to the laying OF
ditches through the marshes by the
control workers connected
with the CCC camps at Lewes and
Beach. Areas that in for
ner years produced little or no hay.
Iue to scalding and stagnatiOn OF
standing water, have this season
yielded heavily. according to Off
,ials of the Delaware Mosquito Con-
rol Commission. These results are
contrary to the original belief of
many farmers who refused permts-
zion last fall for the ditching of
heir marshes on the grounds that
he ebb and flow of salt water in the
litches would kill the hay. Others
,bjected to the ditching in the con-
ention that it would kill the hay.
till others objected to the ditching
N the contention that it would in ;
erfere with the passage of having ,
Implements and of wagons taking
way the hay. These former obJec- G
ors now state that the bitches do !
ot interfert with moving and rak-
ng, but that due to the greater firm g
ess of the marshes, they are able {
D drive auto trucks thereon and
pad the hay directly on them. \
