PROMISING CROP PROSPECTS

Barring unexpected contingencies, this
country will have an ample supply oil
bread making material this year, includ.
ing substantial amount of grain and
-four for sale to the hungry nations
abroad.
That, in brief, is the meaning of the
government crop report for May, which
has been published, and indicates that
the condition OF winter wheat is better by
some six per cent. than was the case on
the same date in 1907. Last years yield
was fair, both in quantity and quality,
and one result has been that the Western
farmers have felt the stress of hard times
far less than muItitudes of people in other
parts Of the country, while the purchases
they have been able to make have aided
signally in keeping industrial and COM
mercial conditions from becoming any
worse.
A "bumper" crop such as that of 1906
Is perhaps not to be expected, for the
amount of wheat raised that season broke
all previous records. But if the figures of
the Department of Agriculture are approx
imately reliable there should be a hand
some return to some millions of farm
ers this fall; and this is reasonably sure
to make its influence felt in the centres of
manufacture and trade.

TO GIVE COUNTRY BOY A CHANCE

The State Board of Education will
probably at it's June meeting take some
action toward making new recommends.
tion to the coming Legislature. One
provision of the present school law gives
150 children-and that number only-in
New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, an
appropriation of SIS year to pay their
tuition in high school if there be no
high school facilities in the district where
the child lives. The quota is always full
to overaowing and some are naturally left
outside which causes irate fathers to aver
that their sons have no chances. MANY
Of the high schools are glad to get these
bright country scholars with the addi-
tional SIS of State money, but Wilmington
High School with its additional equip
ment and higher-paid teachers, asked $40
for each outsider. There is some talk
among the educators of raising the limit
if there can be any possibility OF obtaining
an increased appropriation.

where he has been attending the confer.
ence of governors looking to the conser-
walton Of the resources of the country.
The governor was much impressed with

cuasion, and is OF the opinion that much
ultimate good will result from the con-
ference.
"The conference was great success, +"
said Governor Lea Saturday evening,
land the subjects considered were re-
garded as Of grave Importance by those in
attendance. Il is deep subject, and was
ably discussed in number OF papers,
which dealt with many phases of the
country's resources. This conference will
create much public interest all over the
country, especially through the various
governors Of the States, who will take the
subject up in their own way, and | be-
iieve great benefit to each State and the
country at large will be the result. !"

KEPT ITS PLEDGES

"The axiom, Nothing sue
ceeds like success, applies with
particular force to the Republi'
can situation in Delaware. The
Republican party has been sue
cessful because it has kept its
pledges with the people, and it
will continue to meet with sue.
cess for the reason that it will
carry out its policies of progress
sion to the letter. When a speci-
fic plank is inserted in a plat.
form in a State or county conven-
ton, it means just what it says
and the recommendation thus
made is generally carried out.
Instance after instance along this
line could be cited were it neces.
sary.
whenever any set of men op-
pose such a happy condition, it
can be set down that they are not
Republicans at heart and that
they are angry because some
friend or friends, has not been
chosen to some Office or been
elected to some post of honor to
which he aspired. The fact that
this individual Or these individ.
uals, was outvoted at the polls,
that the majority of the voters of
a district disagreed with him,
counts for naught. He was
simply defeated, and, not being
able to lead, she will not play"
There are one or two cases of
this character in lower Delaware
just now, but, luckily for the real
Republicans of the State, they
are in an absolutely hopeless mi
nority. State Sentinel.
