Strawberry Crop Almost
4 Complete Failure
With the strawberry crop rapidly
maturing throughout Sussex county
growers report it will be almost (
total failure because of the late April
frosts, the heavy hail storm on April
20 and an insect which they call
clippers" cutting the stems from /
the vines. The insects in many sec
tions. have caused more damage
than the frosts and the hail. In the
area. growers have suf-
fered from all three, but, it is re-
Dorted. that the insects have done
the most damage. Throughout the
central section of lower Delaware
many of the growers have plowcd
under their fields. Some hope is held
out that the late crop will be better
than the early one.
