A Crop that did not do i reU last year —
What will it do this ? The lower County
titlnlcs of trying something else—Few
letters of Information.
Tiie farmer as lie sits upon his porch and
pull's the smoke from the long reed stem of
his pipe, has reason for pensive express
ion when he gazes upon the peach orchard
spread out before him. It is not barren in
its prospects, but yet it Is not fruitful ; it is
just in that state to make the owner feel
gloomy when he notices the scarcity of bear
ing upon the branches, and at the same
time throw him into a spirit of self gratula
tiou when he runs over biB bank account at
a single glance of meutal calculation, and
reckons up what the peach crop of last year
caused him to loose. There the picking, the
shipping and the sleepless nights count
ing up the prolits, to find out in the end
that the debit side of bis book was nearly
as large as the credit. If he had not touched
pearlies that year lie would have been infi
nitely better eff, and yel there is infatuation
about raising the fruit, that is inresistible,
and the lessons of one year avail nothing in
profit tor another.
The farmers in the lower counties say that
the peach crop is too much like that of the
strawberry to be account hereafter, unless
some few drop out of it. They-say that
peach growitig has become too general for
money to be easily made. Many have al
ready begun to tire of it, and occasionally
we hear the aDuual grunt coming up on the
winds from the lower sections that ruin and
disaster stares the peach growers in the face.
It is not so bad in reality, but is discourage
ing, and the culture may be abandoned to
some extent:
The Seaford Citizen realizes that the far
mers of that county are wasting time look
ing alter the peaches and says the sooner it
is abandoned to a reasonable extent, the
quicker will the majority of the farmers
study their own interests. It speaks as fol
lows :
"We believe the farmers of Sussex county
are beginning to realize that their stupend
ous peach speculation is a failure. The
meagre crop of this year, with the ruinously
low prices the fruit will command, will but
augment their |<burdcn
them just where they commenced; and as
a result of this, next season, if we are to
give credence to the expressions of opinoln
among our farmers, the soil of old Sussex
will be rich in corn and wheat. They have
followed the ignus fatmus a long time, but
have finally paused on the very brink of fi
nancial destruction, to contemplate the
wreck behind. The loss to most of those
who embarked in this mad speculation has
been enormous, and it is the decay of hope's
foundation that forces them into a confes
sion that, buying peach trees was an unpro
fitable investment. We have good land in
this county, admirably adapted to the grow
ing of all cereal crops, while there is a vast
territory of 'bottom land' which could be
profitably utilized, Our farmers are ener
getic and industrious, but it seems strange
that they will waste both time and labor in
raising unremunerative crops. Diversified
farming is the only panacea for the evil.
"Small farms well tilled" will bring more
money to the faruto-than the thousands of
peach trees he plants."
It is believed another force has diminish
ed the prospects of a large paach crop,
more certainly than tliatof man could. The
backwardness of the season, worked serious
damages In the fruit prospects, and the
trees suffered blighting consequences. This
it is believed will tend to regulate the mar
ket, and give those who have been fortunate
with their trees a better price for fruit than
that obtained last year. But this will only
be for one year, aud the farmers are of. im
pression that if those of their calling do not
go more into diversified crops, they wilj
find themselves ultimately bankrupted.
It is Impossible to tell now even by esti
mation from the appearance of the trees
What the full crop will be. Earlier in the
season it was estimated that the crop would
reach a million and ahalf baskets, but since
then; the weather has been much milder,
and more contributive to peach growth.
There is every reason to believe that the
market will be amply supplied, but not over
burtheDed, and those who make shipments
will be better paid for their time and trouble
than they were last year.
From Seaford, Mr. George W. Nicholson
writes to The Herald, and states that he
cannot give a very favorable report of the
peacli prospects iu that section. "And
yet," he continues, "I can hear of a few on
garden trees, and in some young orchards
favorably located contiguous to water, but
these will not amount to over five thousand
baskets for the entire county. I was in
Dorchester county, Maryland, not long
since, and heard of no orchard there entirely
bare of fruit. The ordinary freight trains,
or market ears will be ample to transport
all the peaches raised betweon Seaford and
Cambridge and between Seaford and Far
mington. ' There will be no chartered cars
in this neighborhood."
From Georgetown, Sussex county, Mr.
Charles C. Stockley writes The Herald ;
"Tiie peaches in this county have been de
stroyed, with the exception of the natural
fruit. We had the prospect of a fourth of
a crop of Hales until early in May, when
they were nearly all killed. We expect au
excellent crop of apples and pears."
The estimate placed upon the crops in
Delaware is nothing like what they were
last year, and in the whole will not be so
f reat as to glut the market like It did then.
bis is a matter more for gratulation than
regret. And we are rather of tiie opinion that
the farmer who sits upou his porch and
views a limited bearing of peaches upon his
trees is much better off than he was last
year when he saw them bending down be
neath the weight, aud his spirits bending
down proportionally under the t.ie losses he
sustained by their msrketable failure.

The Y. M. C. A. of this city have

the week and hold a series of interesting
services known as a conference. Brother
H. P. Adams, of Baltimore, it to be iti
charge and will be assisted by Richard C.
Morse, L. P. Rowland and several others,
well known as interesting and instructive
speakers. Meetings will be held day and
evening, commencing on Thursday evening,
this week,and continuing until Sunday even

tendered their aid, and nearly all of the
churches will be occupied by one orjmore of
the services. It is hoped that the public
will evince a live interest in the affair as It
promises to be the most entertaining of any
thing yet given under the auspices of the
association here.
All of the exercise* are open to the pub*
lie, and the topics to be discussed, together
with the addresses promised, would lead us
to suppose that the exercises would prove
highly attractive to all clasaes of Christian
workers. The Conference will open with a
mass meeting at the First Presbyterian
Church, on Thursday evening, at eight
o'clock, with addresses by H. P. Adams,
Esq., and others.
