CHANGERS OPPOSE
THE ROAD GRAFT

'In brief. a college farm controlled
by a board unfriendly to agriculture
becomes a.. disgrace to a State, for it
serves no useful purpose along educa-
tional lines and involves startling ex-
penditures.
'Such is the condition in a neigh
boring State to-day The college farm.
although less than 100 acres in area,
involved the institution in $4,000 out
lay prior to 1883. Thereafter and prior
to 1896 a deficit Of $4,000 was incurred,
Then the farm was placed absolutely
under private control. all produce go
II ngto the individual. and all equip
ment placed at his disposal without
charge on the one condition that nc
further demands Of any kind should be
made by the arm interest on the in
stitution.
This arrangement went into force
in 1896 and remains IN force to-day to
the satisfaction Of all concerned. OF
the total area of 100 acres 16 per cent
is placed at the disposal Of the college
and Of the station for purposes Of in
structiOn and experimentation. But In

$4,000 annually. six or seven students

They Favor an Investigation
Of and the Reorganization
Of Delaware College
STATE MASTERS VIEWS

Hervey Walker, master Of the State
Z Grange Of Delaware, authorizes the
following Statements:
First. That a report from Dover to
the effect that the grange advocates
the bonding Of the State for $4,000 TO
purchase farm for Delaware College,
is incorrect.
Second. That the legislative COM
mittee of the grange did urge last
Monday a favorable report on the Con-
well bill, to reorganize the board Of
trustees OF the college, and on the
Richardson bill TO investigate Deia"
ware College. There is now no reason
why this latter measure should not be
adopted at once. the trustees Of the
college having also asked for it, through
Chief Justice Lore, president of the
board.
The grange committee. on Monday
last. took no part whatever ian the
movement to bond the county for road
building. Any measure that must be
failroaded in order to win viii not re-
telve favorable consideration from this
organization.

resolution unanimously adopted last
December at the quarterly meeting Of
the grange in Smyrna having been sent
