THE STATE LIBRARY COMMISSION
Statement of Librarian


The librarian presents the report Of
the state Travelling Libraries OF Della
ware for the year 1906
During the year four new libraries Of
forty volumes each were added to the
collection. making a total Of ffty-six
Travelling Libraries. These small IL
braries have been loaned TO schools.
Sunday schools, associations and
oranges throughout the State. and the
demand for them has been and is at
the present time greater than the sup
ply. The Libraries were circulated one
hundred and nineteen times and they
were distributed i'm the three counties
as follows: Thirty-eight were sent TO
New Castle. fifty-four I'm Kent and
twenty seven i'm Sussex. The circula-
ton OF books was fully 11,942--it is not
always possible TO give the exact num-
her as occasionally new borrower
fails 10 keep a record OF the books
loaned while the library is in his care.
During the year not more than six
inexpensive books were lost, but a large
number OF old and worn volumes were
replaced by new ones. The commission
also supplied fve OF the womens clubs
i'm the state with books for their study
classes and assistance was rendered to
number Of teachers who were pur-
suing a special course Of study. There
is a growing demand from both schools
and clubs for books. and the outlook for
the work for the coming year is most
gratifying.

"Tbe scrapers are held up tightly

Of the scrapers and up through blocks

This year the farmers would MOI
plant peas because Of the price
Well timothy bay is already quoted
at $22 per ton, and as the hay croT
Of the West is q failure, we shall
probably see the highest price paid
for hay that we have witnessed in
years, and the same is true Of corn.
1t is admitted that with peas at So
per bushel, pea hay can be sowD,
grown and gathered for 81 per ton.
And if our planters had plenty Of
peas, they would not only have had
a cheap crop Of hay; but they would
have been sure Of a fine cotton crop
on that land the year following.
The entire situation may be sum-
med up as follows:
The planter has lost his energy
and force in these regions. He
does not do what his common sense
tells him he ought to do. And it
will take only a few more years at
the present rate to put him out Of
business.
The last remark made by Profess
sor Fox is fairly Illuminating
ANY system Of cotton growing in
the Delta which leaves out of con-
sideration a three-year rotation Of
cow-peas, is bound to be a failure
in the long run.
