Delaware's farm picture is show

prepared by the Delaware State

Based on figures supplied by its

that total gross income for the

mark when cash receipts for farm
came to $107, 100000.
This is based on study of the
income for the first six months of
1856 which were very promising
and we'll ahead of the same period
in 1855.
Cash receipts from January to
May 81, 1856, were almost $4,000

able Sussex COP. chairman adds,

Highway Dept.
Battled Big
Sussex Storm
La st " e e k
Campaign To Battle Ele-
ments Although Hasti-
ly Organized Did A
Good Job In Protecting
Property.

The tidewater section of Sussex
County has been the scene of nu-
merous battles with the water ele-
ments down through the years but
IL is doubtful if any of them will
equal the campaign hurriedly or
ganized and conducted by the State
Highway Department last week.
Much has been written and
spoken in praise of the work of
the Highway Department in this
emergency but ii is doubtful if
sufficient words can be found to
praise this work in a manner that
1t should be.
However, as a result of these
efforts, the beach front cottages at
Lewes Beach were saved from pos
sible destruction and the highway
along the ocean, from Dewey
Beach south, continues in opera
tion.
IL was late Wednesday night
when George III. Tunison, Division
Engineer in Sussex County for the
Highway Department, determined
the possible damage that might
happen along the Lewes Beach
front and he swung into action.
BY 10:30 D. m. that night, Mr..
Tunison had some maintenance
forces at work on Lewes Beach.
As time progressed and the con-
ditions became worse, more men
and equipment were rushed to the
scene.
To use the words of a bystander,
"The Highway Department pulled
out all of the stops to prevent dam
age from that storm, and that is
exactly what happened.
