More mortgages have been paid of
in Delaware during the past year by
farmers than in ted Previous years.
Woodslde, Dec. 2l.-Farmers of
Delaware have been fairly prosperous
this year, 1t is true, however, that
part Of their prosperity is because Of
short crops elsewhere In the United
States. The same conditions are not
likely to follow next year andit is
wise to think of their work in that
light. Farmers recognize that In their
business competition is very strong
what they have not realized as they
ought is the fact that they must
study the situation, not only from
a1ocal stand point but from a world
wide view. In the past it has been
considered that the farmers of our
land not only fed all other classes but
because oftheir sturdy common sense
helped to mould the politics of state
and probably dictated as did no other
class, what the laws should be. II
now they have lost that position no
one is more to blame than themselves.
The number and the amount Of
property they hold entities them to
more influences To obtain it they
have only to use the means already
,Organized--tO wit.
The Farmers. Institute and the
Grange they must lay one side all
selfish motions and work fora common
object.
The Institute, as it has been con-
Quoted measures to the value of the
smaller colleges Of the land, as the
brain, the experience, and the judge
ment of the successful men of affairs,
Is to be had for the listening. Farther
men of science who make life study
Of the soil, insect depredations, fun
gus troubles, etc, relating to econo-
my. in farming are ready and anxious
to tell what they know.
The National Government is aiding
as never government did before to
solve questions that every practical
farmer has had to face and many
times have caused large losses. These
aids are free to all farmers. The
Grange, the greatest aid of all to the
farmer is not free in that sense. The
patrons of husbandry are however
ready to welcome every honest, up
right farmer to their ranks.
Secrets, enough to protect them
selves they must have, and they have
no more. The Grange is emphatical-
ly by the farmer, of the farmer and
for the farmer. 1t is one of the
strongest organizations in the land,
differed and maned! by noble menand
women who are working to promote
the welfare of mankind. The Insti-
tute officers in their Co., for the en-
suing year have just been elected and
valuable winter work mapped out.
Hockessin, Dec. 2l.-Farm work is
more backward than has been known
for years. There Is yet some corn to
husk and IS per cent Of the farmers
have fodder out.
