FARMERS DISCUSS TOMATOES

Merits of Contracting.

CheswoId Changers at Dover Argue on
Merits of Contracting.
The farmers of Kent County are
apparently evenly divided over next
years tomato operations. Capitol
Grange of Dover entertained Ches-
wold Grange OIL Saturday and had a
big turnout of farmers from all over
central Kent. Cheswold Grange took
to Dover nearly forty grangers, all
good speakers and with something to
talk about. The growing and market
ing of tomatoes was the subject
marked for addresses and discussion
during the day. and after the Capital
Grange speakers had made their
addresses opening up the subject,
Worthy Master E. A. Evans, OF KEN
County Grange and Master Savin, oi
Cbeswold Grange, led the discussion
The meeting soon became evenly
divided on the subject of contracting
with the canners-the non-contractor'
arguing that when tomatoes got oeloV
living prices it was direct loss u
harvest and deliver them. The con
clusion was reached, however, ina
some movement should be starte'
that would effectually enable tn
farmers to set the prices of product
rather than 'take what you can ge
and be happy, and that they shoui
be more concerted in the determine
tion to stand for their rights.

In the House.

The house met Monday with the
best intention in the world to get down
to business, but resolution amand-
ing the house rules so the speaker
could not entertain a motion for the
house to accept an invitation to visit
any place at any time occasioned a
debate of an hour and half.
The resolution was signed by Mob
lay and Currey and, after being read,
wa sreferred to the committee on
rules.
Shortly afterward Chairman Fitz-
hugh of the committee sent up re-
port that the resolution be not adopt
ed.
Mobley offered as an amendment to
the committee report that the report
be repjected and the resolution adopt
ed.
Mabley spoke at length in support Of
the resolution. He said that he had
10 criticism to make OF the house
or of the three magnificent cities Wis
tied by the members of the house, but
he pleaded that too much time was be
ing wasted in taking these trips in the
face of the large volume of business
important TO the state that should be
transacted. He mentioned especially
the pending tax laws and the antitrust
legislation lie took a shot at the
commercial secretaries and said that
he was aware that there was an organ
ization using the slogan Fewer laws
and better laws" and that it was the
same crowd, PRACTICAL. that figured
in a former campaign when the slogan
was Turn Texas loose" He hoped
the amendment would be adopted and
the house stay In Austin and work in
stead of making trips over the state.
Fuller opposed the amendment and
favored the minority report. He spoke
of the hard working until midnight,
and he thought these trips were bene-
fetal and restful and enabled the
house to do better work. He thought
the legislature was able to decide for
itself whether it should take these
trips or not.
