Farmers To The Front Figures From
Dairy Industry

In our search for notes on the bust
ness in and around Newark, the reve-
nue. from milk shows some interest
ing figures. OF course a good part OF
the milk produced around Newark goes
to Wilmington in the form of butter
and again it is difficult to get any more
than an approximate estimate of the
amount of milk shipped
In reply to letter to Abbott's Dair-
les, we receive this information:
From August 10th to September
18th, we paid the patrons of our New
ark creamery for milk S334oI4
During the year Of 1909 we paid the
total sum of $IS,o6S.73."
The average shipment from the B.
u .. for September was 80 cans of 40
quarts each, daily, amounting to near
500 for that month.
Mr.. Gallaher, speaking of the yearly
average, said he thought from 20 to Is
cans gould be a conservative estimate
This would make a yearly revenue of
SIo.ooo to $I4,ooo.
With Lumbrock, Harmony and Old
Station shipping on an average of IS
to 20 cans. an amount of $1,000 more
can be added
SO according to conservative figures
it can be seen that approximately $4o,-
ooo year is being distributed in this
vicinity for milk alone. One prom-
nent farmer said from observation, he
could safely say that the butter carried
to Wilmington by farmers of this sec
ton would bring up our dairy industry
to 100000 proposition.
Whether his calculation is right or
not, it will be plainly seen that the
dairy as side issue among our farm
ers is OF no mean proportions.
What is needed now is improved
stock and improved methods of feed
ing ard caring for same, and another
year will show still greater increase.
Note 1t will be seen that no ac-
count has been taken of milk sold by
local retail dealers.

Saturday Nights Local Option Meeting

Robert G. Houston, editor of the
Sussex Republican, addressed the
meeting on Main street last Saturday
night. Mr.. Houston gave straight
from the shoulder talk. He dealt with
facts which to fair-llinded listeners
could not fail to impress. He referred
to the Court records, business men
and the banks of Sussex to refute the
claim that prohibition harms business.
The court records show lawlessness to
have been less; affidavts OF the busi-
ness men for license in every case
show an increase, one firm which car
red stock of $1,000 last year, now
reprting $1,000 worth, the banks show
large increase in deposits
Mr. Houston did not attribute all
this as an argument in favor of the
dries, but it certainly is conclusive
proof that 1t does not hurt business.
Seaford was mentioned as strik-
ing example of the effect OF this law.
Many stores and houses which were
previously vacant are now occupied
and new houses are going UP to meet
the demand.
He appealed to Newark as the CEN
ter OF Delaware College, Sussex does
not take kindly to ridding the home OF
saloons, only to send their boys to
college town which upholds them.
Many are sending their sons where
the safeguards are stronger.
Mr. Houston declared there is not
man in Delaware, outside OF those di-
rectly interested that has defended
High License No man of prominence
can be hired to uphold this. He closed
with a challenge to honest men OF in
luence. who, if convinced that license
is right must defend and contend for
that right.
