 III ly to another Yankee inyen-
 ton, the Holland" submarine boat, and five of them are now build ing for the English navy. Other Flu ropean nations have spent millions in experimenting with various spe- cies of submarine boats, with prac- tically no success. Each was desir- ous of perfecting a boat that would be their own, but England had no scruples along this line. She wanted the newest and best that was known in naval warfare, but she waited for others to do the expensive expert menting. After it had been done she looked over each of the boats pro- duced by European inventors, and then took the Holland" from this side of the Atlantic.
 Under the heading of submarine boats, the English admiralty report says:
 "Ffve of the type invented by Holland have been ordered. the first of which should be delivered next autumn. What the future value of these boats may be in naval warfare can only be matter of conjecture. Experiments with these boats will assist the admiralty in assessing their true value. The question of their employ ment must be studied in all its develop ments, and their mechanism carefully watched in this country"

privations they suffered. During the civil war he rose to be an officer, re- ceiving two brevets, as well as con gressional medal of honor for a com spicuously gallant act in a battle in which he commanded his regiment.

 In the Spanish-American war Gen. Schwan led the forces that compelled the expulsion of the Spanish troops from the city of Mayaguez, Porto Rico. Gen. Miles said in his official report: Great credit is due the troops who composed and the gem eral who commanded the expedition, for we'll sustained and vigorous ac- ton in the face of most trying con ditions."
 In accordance with request from Gen. Otis by cable, Gen. Schwan start ed, June 20, 1898, for the Philippines. Here he commanded two important expeditions. Concerning the first of these, which operated in northern Ca vite, in 1898, the late Gen. Lawton, commanding the First division of the Eight army corps, officially reported: T desire particularly to commend to favorable notice and consideration Gen.

TOmOtO Growing From A Growers
Standpoint.
To FELLOW FARMERS OF KENT AM
SUSSEX COUNTIES.

To FELLOW FARMERS OF KENT AND
SUSSEX COUNTIES.
Dear Sirs: We have been made vic.
TINS and tools by some Of those engaged
in canning, until the point of forbear-
a ice has been reached and change
must be made in our relations with this
class of men; and largely with those
VINO have been honest and paid their
just obligations, must we assume a
different attitude.
The farmer now is up against a serious
problem with the Gamers, who now in
vite US to come forward and sign con.
tracts promising to give us $500 per
ton for tomatoes. You must also agree
not to sell tomatoes to anyone other
than the Gamer you contract with
You must stand with wagon and team
half the day and night waiting to I'M
load the tomatoes. You must wait for
months before getting paid for all this
work. while the Gamer has the use of
your money, and then if the Gamers
make too or three thousand dollars, or
As much as they think they should,
you may be given few cents more per
tOn-that may be given more, " is very
vague and unsatisfying to the farmer.
Farmers let us get together.
Are we behOlden to the Gamers of
tomatoes; or, are they dependent on us
When we are offered the privilege of
growing tomatoes at s. % per ton, let
us say, NO. CO raise them yourself,
for we can not make more than wages
at $500 per ton We are they who
must say what we shall have for our
labor, and not the Gamer.
Men and brethen, it is high time, we
took our stand on this question, and as
a working farmer implore you not to
throw your labor away. Let us work
that families and ourselves may get fair
pay. If few grow without thinking
now they may come out, that is injuring
themselves by loss of profit on their
llbor, and preventing fair living prices
being paid to those who would grow
under those conditions; but who will
MT grow simply at cost Of production
The Gamers cannot compel YOU to
grow them; neither can they grow them
themselves. If they cannot make a
profit at S6 90 per ton. let them close up
the canneries, and the markets will
soon be clear of surplus canned goods
We can raise corn and other produce
and live just as well, without growing
tomatoes, as we can at growing them
for $500 per ton. We can't come out
whole at this price, so why should you
be as ed to loose? Let all of us stop
right here, ana any man signing con
tracts at s. 90 is a traitor to the farmers
interests.
How many of you work in the dews
of early morning, and the blazing hot
sun, assisted by your sons, and often
daug hters to produce this crop, which
you are now asked to grow without any
profit, aud possible loss? Do you
like the situation?
l ask you to join with me and cease
to grow tomatoes until a fair price is
paid. You will do your fellow man a
favor and no one any harm.

Milford chronicle., 1901-02-08

AT Bridgeville, Harry Cannon. the
Gamer, is contracting with farmers to
grow tomatoes at $500 per ton. Thi,
is on his own statement made last week.
and as this has become general infor-
nation, the farmers in other parts OF
Sussex county would like to understand
why Mr.. Cannon can pay six dollars
per ton, while in almost every other
part of Delaware five dollars per ton il
offered to growers. The Gamers must
not be expected to operate at a loss; and
if they cannot figure profit at $500
per ton, they certainly can not be ex
pected to pay that amount. On the
other banda farmer can not afford to
grow tomatoes at S. 90 per ton, so be
will not work for a prospective loss
or at least, just sufficient to pay the
cost of production This is a vexed
question for farmers and Gamers to
solve; both need profit on their work
and how to get it is the question A
lecture on tomato growing delivered by
an expert in Grange Hall last week, as
serts that profitable tomato growing at
S. 90 per ton necessitated a yield of ten
tons to the acre; or $4,000 per acre. The
average yield per acre of recent years is
not much over six tons per acre. so ac
cording to this experts statement, SIC
per ton is the profitable figure for the
present average This is, of course, q
prohibitory price for Gamers to pay ,anC
the only solution for growing at all thi,
? season is the plan offered by local can
ners; via, to pay $500 per ton sure, anC
if prices for canned goods justify, Sc on
| will be paid. This is conditioned in tn,
i, cOntract-so we are informed; but ten
. ant farmers are shy of the plan.
