THE MILITARY BURDEN.

~ HE New-Church Messenger, an able re-
i ligious paper Of which the Rev George
r.. Dole OF this CITY, is an editorial contributor,
has an excellent article in recent issue en-
titled, "The Eloquence of Figures. The ar
ticle points out the vast expense under which
the government labors in order to be prepared
for war
The figures are really appalling and are not
often thought Of The desire for peace. as the
Messenger SAYS is widely-expressed, but the
expenditures for war purposes are constantly
increasing. The cost to the United States dur
ing the year 1908 was more than SIIooooooo
for the army alone. and the last appropriation
for the navy was $I3o.ooo,ooo. During the
present year the cost OF the army and navy will
aggregate Ss28,ooo,ooo. If we had war, the
expense of such conflict could be estimated only
BY a most vivid imagination.
So far as it directly concerns productive ma
ton this expenditure is pure waste. All eN-
penses for keeping up a military equipment take
money from the Golfers of a nation without
giving ANYTHING in return In other words the
army and navy are consumers and not pro-
ducers.
1t is said that this expense is necessary be-
cause other nations have great equipments and
the United States must do the same. OF this
there can be no question, but the point IS that
under the present method of world politics ma
tions are burdened with tremendous expense
which could be hghtened if some comprehen-
sive scheme OF arbitration could be adopted.
No wonder that the advocates of arbitration
during the past few years have been aroused to

POTATOES.

II HERE is plenty of potato talk in the lower
l. counties OF Delaware. There is consider
able OF such talk in rural New Castle county.
Farmers are debating the question of produc-
ing potatoes on large scale. Many of the
farmers have gone into the culture heavily and
others have few acres planted in potatoes
Potatoes sufficient to meet the demand are not
raised in this country but must be imported.
Delaware should be able to raise as fine pota-
toes as any other region. Some farmers have
had good luck with them others report bad
luck
In considering the question of Delaware as a
potato growing community we meet the prob
lcm--that Of transportaton-rwhch has been
before us for so many years. There is complaint
OF the alleged high rates of transportation OF
potatoes.ANe wish that the Delaware Railroad
Company would examine this question. We
think Delaware could become very successful
in raising truck Of all kinds if the farmers would
get into that branch Of agriculture and if the
railroad company would heartily cooperate and
take hand in the development of Delaware as
a truck producing state
Men from the truck raising regions of New
Jersey tell of banks bulging with the money
returned from the sale of produce and there IS
hardly a Ierseyman-cannish as they are
who visits Delaware and sees our land bur
wonders why Delaware farmers have not gone
more extensively into truck raising as Della
laNare is so near the city markets
cussed this matter at its last session. It's con-
clusions are pertinent at present because OF the
stir over potatoes Mr.. Jenkins the secretary
OF the society, then said that the greatest burden
the vegetable growers of Delaware had to bear
was the burden of transportation
Mr. Jenkins pointed out that the average yield
of wheat in Kent county is fewer than eighteen
bushels; the average yield of potatoes is more
than $50 bushels to the acre. The average
amount of fertilizer used on an acre OF wheat
is 200 pounds and the average used on an acre
planted in potatoes is 1900 pounds. The freight
rate on hundred pounds of wheat from Dover
ia Philadelphia is { cents while the freight rate
on one hundred pounds of potatoes is II cents.
Mr. Jenkins figures it out that for each 100
acres OF potatoes grown in Kent county the rail-
road company receives $1,000 bushels OF pota-
toes and collects $3.50 and for each 100 acres
in wheat the railroad receives 1900 and col
lects SsA. The transportation charges thus show
a very wide difference. An encouragement to
the producing Of potatoes would be lower freight
rates The railroad company could make re-
ductions in their rates and should still be able
10 reap a handsome profit
