FARMERS AND TAXATION.

G ONE farmers, or alleged farmers, seem pos
- sessed Of the idea that the Farmers Insti-
tute OF this county should be devoted solely to the
discussion of potato bugs and the condition Of
cows hoofs Therefore, they object to considera-
ton at farmers institutes of the question OF taxa
ton, which, of course, at this time involves the
discussion of the taxation commission which is
to recommend revenue laws for the State. The
men OF this idea, at the Stanton meeting, en-
deavored, and successfully, too, to choke off
any proper consideration of the taxation question
THE JOURNAL has pointed out that the
grangers of the State and the real working farm
ers have about lone representative on this tax
commission, and Mr. Dilworth declares that they
are doubtful where he stands. Surely, if farm
ers' institute is to be of any value whatever It
should consider matters of such grave importance
to the farmers taxation. There is no question,
unless it be railroad freight rates and service that
can be of more moment to the Delaware farmers
than this topic of taxation. But, according to the
wiseacres, the farmers should keep quiet and not
let the commissioners know that the agricultural
element in the State is alive to the importance of
the work cut out for the State Tax Commission.
The taxation commission is hearing the views
OF the brewers and the representatives of the spe-
cial interests, and no doubt the commissioners
would be only too glad TO get the ideas of farmers
expressed at their meetings and elsewhere

OF the Otto Gas Engine Company, two OF the

lin other words certain officials did not treat the
Otto people with the courtesy that would be eX-
pected by a new and important industry that pro-
posed to locate in this city The Street and Sewer
Directors, at least a majority OF them, seemed
anxious, at the meeting on Tuesday, to replace
the streets upon the city map, asserting that the
Otto Company had not lived up to some sort of

The history OF the Otto Company and its pro-

FROM EXPERTS

dressed by Pr feSSOFS from
Experiment Station
Special 70 THE EVENING JOURNAL


GEORGETOWN. Jan. 2s--The Far
mers' Institute opened Tuesday after
noon with many prominent farmers Of
this county in attendance. The first
speaker was Or. NJ 7. Cook, patholo-
gist, Delaware Experiment Station,
who spoke on The Prevention of Plant
Diseases" DR.. Cook referred TO the
similarity between plant and animal
diseases, calling attention TO the in
crease In the number of destructive
ness of plant diseases and explained
why they increased both in number
and importance. DR.. Cook also called
attention to the various methods Of
combating these diseases which are
now in use and gave suggestions by
which they might be checked
Professor c. A. McCue, horticulturist,
Delaware Experiment Station, gave a
short talk on growing white potatoes.
The professor said that the potato
needs just as good a seed bed as the
wheat crop and the young plant should
have every opportunity to firmly estab-
lish itself in the soil at the beginning
OF the season. Special attention should
be given 10 the selection of the seed
potato and the farmers should use the
best potatoes that he can find in his
field for his seed.
He recommended arsenate Of lead as
a remedy for the potato bug.
During the evening session Profess
sor Mccue gave an interesting talk on
orchard management. He laid stress
upon the adaptibilityv OF Sussex county
for peaches and stated that he believed
that the county had a future in the
production Of apples.
In the evening, DR.. Cook took up
the discussion OF Mature study" He
called attention TO the tendency Of the
American teacher 10 introduce fads into
his work and explained how the rapid
progress IN our school system had been
due 20 this experimental method on
the part OF our teachers, how that each
OF these fads were tried out and the
valuable features became recognized
parts Of the teachers daily work. while
the unimportant and undesirable feat
ures were dropped. Common sense ma
ture study, he said, was gradually be-
coming a course in practical elemen-
tary agriculture Professor A. n.
Grantham, Agronomist of Delaware

periments al the experiment farm New

There is a reason fo- this. At long

Hence the reputation he has gained for
