STATE PUMPKIN CROP
LARGEST IN YEARS

The pumpkin crop throughout
lower Delaware is reported to be
the largest IN many years and those
desiring pies made from pumpkins
from Sussex county fields for the
Thanksgiving holidays should moi
find ii difficult to get them. Large
acreages. it is stated. have been
grown throughout the western sec
tion of the county for canning
plants. located at Bridgeville and
Rehoboth.
Forty and fifty years ago it was
customary for farmers to set out 4
few hills for home use. Then they
would often grow a cart load. and
have pumpkin pie from the fall un-
til the following spring. Even in
those days the women would can
them so that they might have a sup
ply on hand in case company should
drop in ON them. With it already
cooked, it was not much trouble for
them to prepare pies for their
guests.
Within the past 20 years many
acres have been grown throughout
the county for canning purposes.
