it is much more prevalent in those

from famine, and thousands have
died from starvation. IL is quite
likely, therefore, that they have snf-

from the conditions in which il was

IN THE INTEREST OF FARM LABOR.
House Passes the Senate immigration Bill
For the Protection of Farmers.

When the Senate immigration bill
came before the House for final action
yesterday Mr.. Rose objected to it on
the ground that he did not think the
state of Delaware should approp riate
money for any such purposes. Mr..
Warren took exceptions and said that
it was now almost impossible for far
mers to get the required help in fruit
and harvest seasons. He appealed to
Mr.. Rose by saying that within a short
time, unless something was done to
remedy the difficulty in getting help,
peaches, apples, etc, would rot on the
ground for the want of men to care
for them. Mr.. Warren became very
earnest and quoted bit of rhyme re-
hting to the farmers. A vote was
then taken and the bill was passed
unanimously. Representative Rose
explained that he had been won over
by Mr.. Warren.
