return, a high mark for several years.
In defining the weather as cratic,
County Agent Brown pointed out
that excessive early rains, followed
by hot dry weather had affected all
crops. The outlook was gloomy UNI
til early in June, he continued, when
rains relieved the situation. Since
then, series Of short dry periods
have been punctuated by sufficient
rain to make the summer an excel
lent growing period.
The sole effect of the erratic wea-
Their, he said, was to slightly curtail
the volume Of truck crops and to
greatly lengthen the seasons.
Red and crimson clover, strawber-
ries and peas and beans suffered the
greatest losses in volume, according
to reports county farmers submitted
to the county agent. Red clover had
a 66 per cent volume loss, snap beans
were so to go per cent off, and peas
were so to 55 per cent below normal.
Strawberries were cut from 80 to SO
per cent, and sweet potatoes will be
about 20 per cent lower than normal.
Cantaloupes and cucumbers, the two
money crops" have suffered losses
of 20 and 10 per cent respectively,
more than offset by prices far above
average.

negro dry cleaner of Seaford, DEL,
picked up a Federal Reserve Bank
Gold Certificate of $4,000 denomi-
nation recently and for a few short
hours experienced the delirious thrill
of believing himself a man of real
wealth.
The note was lying on High Street
between Manning's Pharmacy and the
Wheatlef Hardware Company.
"Shorty" took the note several days
after finding it to the bank, and was
advised that it was series that had
been cancelled, and it's presence In
Seaford is somewhat of mystery.
Federal Reserve authorities, when ad-
vised of the find, wrote Cottman and
told him that some time ago, fire
in one of their buildings in Wash
ington had destroyed number of the
notes of similar series to the one
found, and they believe that in some
way, some person found one of the
notes that strayed from the fire, and
lost it in Seaford.
"Shorty" said that he wasn't at
all excited when he made the find,
and that during the course of the sew
eral days that it was laying in the
shop awaiting word as to it's true
value, it was accidentally swept out
with some refuse, and it was only by
luck that he recovered it.
