WE have many laws on the statutes o.
Delaware, which are not observed or any
attempt to enforce them is made by the
legal authorities. This is equally true
as to the ordinances of the towns, and
we submit the fact, that this condition
of affairs in some instances, is working
out situation which helps to defeat the
enforcement of any good law. The laws
regulating the speed of vehicles and auto
mobiles on the highways and through
the towns, are simply ridiculous. The
legal limit on the rural roads is twenty
miles per hour, and on most Of the roads
in Kent and Sussex Counties this is the
limit to comfortable riding; but there
are exceptions where good gravel or clay
roads make a speed of twenty-five or even
more miles per hour as safe and comfor-
table to the automobile rider, as the
lower rate of speed. In many Of the
towns ordinances have been passed which
conflict with the state laws regulating
the movement of auotos. Some of the
towns limit the speed to six miles per
hour, and many of them have eight miles
as the maximum. a person walking at
a fair rate of speed covers about four
miles per hour, and the average horse
will travel without being hurried at
from eight to ten miles per hour. Then
in towns where there are are no improved
streets, or paving, the sand and uneven
grades make it impossible to operate an
automobile and keep it moving at six
miles per hour. In the town of Milton /
the grades and sand would stall major 1
ity Of the automobiles now in use at SIX /
miles per hour Then why should the /
towns pass ordinances which can not be
observed? Why not pass acts or laws
which conform to the state laws regulat-
ing the movement of motor vehicles, and
then enforce these laws If some one
who can afford the time and expense of
fighting these unfair laws, viii take a
case to the courts, we fully believe that
a ruling will be established which will
the towns of Delaware to con-
form to the laws of the state so far
IS automobiles are concerned.

MARYLAND STATE GRANGE MEET
Enthusiastic Crowd oil Farmers and
Families Present.

| An enthusiastic crowd of farmers
and their families, TO the number OF
500, gathered at Colchester, Nd,
August s, from Ill parts OF the State
\ for the summer meeting or the Mary
land State Grange. State Master, y.
John Black, delivered the welcoming
address, declaring il to b. the purpose
OF the Grange to work for the i'm
provement OF the country community,
and that it would do it, share in solv-
| ing the market problem, which they
we're about to discuss.
L- B. Flohr of the Office of Markets,
VI. :. Department Of Agriculture, dis
cussed the relation OF the parcels post
to the marketing OF farm products and
it, bearing on the cost or living prob
lem He said, We cannot do without
the function of the middleman, but W.
should reduce their number and use
every channel that opens TO " for
getting the producer and consumer in
contact. There seems to BE- "a mutual
distrust between them that must BE-
overcome. A. his share the producer
must supply high grade product at
fair price to hi consumer customer
if he ID to hold his confidence and
steady patronage"
Dr- y. III. Patterson, President of the
Maryland Agricultural College, the
next speaker, made strong address
on the need of cooperation and profit
sharing in the home Tiff you are un-
fair to your sons and daughters" he
said, ''in sharing with them the profits
as well a. the work of the farm and
home, you cannot expect them to CO
operate in good faith with their neigh
bOrs Oh trust them in marketing and
selling their produce. Neither should
cooperation b. attempted in a whole
sale manner. let two farmers in a
grange Or neighborhood cooperate
successfully together in marketing or
delivering their milk Oh any other
farm produce. and others will soon
Join them. Tn securing practical &C
operation in the marketing OF farm
products, nothing succeeds like a sue
cessful example to point to. Until
such an example il To To- found in
each neighborhood, little progress will
b. made in the solution OF the prob
lem for that community
Dr. Patterson stated further, The
Agricultural College should have ID
department equipped To study this
keting OF farm products, and lend its
aid in solving II a. It IL doing with the
problem or greater production OF
Maryland farms
Dr. Augustus Stabler, State Demon
stration Agent, spoke on the forming
or a cooperative producers assOcia-
tion- The things H. considered g.
sential To its success were 90 equality
OF vote, the Limitation or interests Oh
shares, and the diversion Of profits &C
cording to patronage Either the in-
dividual farmer Oh hi organization,
he said, should make "a study OF
marketing Iii products, and follow
them To their final consumer ID that
he will know better how to prepare
them md what price he should get
for them
The sentiment prevailed among
those attending the meeting that thu
oranges should lead in solving thu
problem OF marketing and the cost of
living On the part Oft the Maryland
producer as its especial work.
