An expert in peach culture surveys Maryland and Delaware crops from Wyoming to Frederica. He notes a mostly good peach crop near Milford, Georgetown, Bridgeville and Laurel, with few peaches west of the railroad and a severe drop from Clayton south. Yellows disease is down due to milder winters, while rain-damaged fruit and reduced yields plague berries and wheat in Caroline and Worcester counties. Reports include flooding between Laurel and Seaford, severe storms in Snow Hill area, and local obituaries and marriages.
