A Great Farmer Henry Yerker of Delaware Spans 1000 Acres

Henry Yerker owns about 1000 acres near Moorton Delaware with 500 acres of peach trees planted 22 feet apart. A good crop could yield 100000 baskets and he produced about 3000 gallons of peach brandy last season. He also farms 400 to 500 acres with wheat yielding 40 bushels per acre and plans twenty acres of asparagus next season. He believes the Peninsula will become the garden of the continent. Yerker, German by birth, started glue manufacture in Philadelphia and used the by products to enrich his land.
