Leadership Lonely

There are, in any burdensome
enterprise, a hundred who will
take the praise after the completed
work for one who will assume the
responsibility Of its initiation.
Every one wants to be identified
with a success; few care to lead at
first what may prove forlorn hope
because of the possible ambuscade
of failure.
The man who takes the response
bility must with equanmity endure
having his motives and even his
character assailed by those whom
his rebuke has brought to open
shame. He must hold his peace
and his temper when he is plllor-
led for what was no fault in his
plan or his execution. Of course,
the others think they are just as
fit as he to do his work. The diff
ference is that, against envy and
calumny and perfdy, he has prov
ed his capacity, and in crises he
was tried and not found wanting.

The above was the statement
made by one of Delaware's most
prominent men. Due to his posi-
ton. we must refrain from publish
ing his name, yet it comes as a
pleasing compliment based and
backed up by facts.
Efficient officers, crack shots, sol
dierly appearance and department
always interested, are phrases
heard from reports Of every en-
campment where Company + plays
a part.
All this is interesting and we all
take our share of credit. Yet in
very fact, do we give our company
the support deserved and the praise
given them by strangers?
Newark has reason to be proud
of this company and can support
it in a very material sort of way.
1t is not amiss to admit we have
not given this according to deserts.
We are proud of the company on
the recent hike. BY the way, Del
aware is, we understand, the first
state to try out this endurance test.
The outcome has caused no little
surprise to regular army officers.
1t must be remembered that Com
pany E led the march, setting the
pace. 1t is pertinent, also, to say
that it was more than satisfactory
to the rest of the Regiment.

Those acquainted with condi-

Those acquainted with condl-
tions here as compared with other
sections of the peninsula claim that
the tomato grown here is much
better product than that grown In
the more sandy soils. The yield per
acre is as large if not larger than
in most sections. 1t is hoped that
the business relations between the
growers and manufacturer will be
such as to guarantee heavy output
next year. Farmers should look up
the subject Of fertilizers and crop
rotation and acquaint themselves
with the best methods. A bulletin
on Tomato Culture by Professor
McCue was issued last year by the
State Experiment Station which
gives some very definite and prac-
tical information on this crop. This
bulletin has met with great favor
among many Of the big growers
down State and is well worth SER
ious study by those interested. 1t
is not scientific investigation but
real practical treatise based on
experiments and experience thru
out the State-just the kind the
business farmer wants,
We believe if the farmers can
make good that the Ritter firm
will give them fine market. 1t is
another opportunity-shall we take
full advantage of it?
We should like to say to those in
charge of this new industry that
the crop this year will in no wise
be a sample Of the general stand
ard. The drought early in the
season is the worst experienced
here for years and will no doubt
cut the crop short. They will, how
ever, find the quality good and we
hope they will make plans to handle
a heavy crop another year.

AETNA

Newark has the best fire fighting
equipment of any town on the
Peninsula. That is a strong state
ment but it is a fact. No company
in Wilmington has an apparatus
superior to ours. We have the as
surance, always, that in case Of fire
that our equipment is the best that
can be secured. This satisfaction
can never be fully sensed until
some calamity overtakes us.
While the citizens have helped
Loyalty in securing such apparatus,
it must be admitted that the major
credit belongs to that part of the
citizenship so effectively organized
as the Aetna Fire Company. While
in actual fact, it is a private cor
poration, it's every activity has been
to the public interest in a very
material sort of way. Had this body
of men held these Carnivals for a
new building, for quarters better
adapted for social intercourse, their
energies while approved, could not
have held the interests and made
the demands for support as is the
case under the present policy. The
men are rendering no small service
which should meet with more than
ordinary support.
Some claim the engine and COM
pany should be supported by tax
alton. While this arrangement is
sound in a way, it must readily be
seen that with such provision
Newark would not have the protec-
ton it now has at its command.
The Carnival Committee hopes
this year to clear the debt against
the engine. While the citizens have
been generously loyal heretofore,
and while the demands on the tax
payers have been heavy during the
past year, all are asked for one
more generous and cooperative
support. Let evry citizen pull his
best pound and thus express ap-
probation for the work these men
have done-looking to our interest.
Remember, whel needed, this
engine and these men are at your
service. Hip them to make that
service effective.

Poultry Industry In Delaware

Few people, apparently, are
aware of the extent Of the poultry
industry in Delaware. According
to the last census, the Delaware
polltry products in 1000, a.-vss-s-
ed to $1,S00,000. Since that time
there has been rapid develop
ment of commercial poultry grow
ing, poultry having increased on
the farms and in the towns, and a
considerable number of large COM
mercial plants have been establish
ed. such as that of the Grier Bro
theirs. at Milford; Oliver A. New
ton, at Bridgeville, and that OF
Speakman, at Smyrna. 1t is safe
to say that the poultry products
that will be sold from Delaware
during 1914 will amount to $4,000,
900. The corn crop is the most
valuable of any single crop in Del
aware and is usually worth around
! $3,000,000. The wheat crop totals
about 100000. All dairy pro-
ducts amount to $1,0OO,0O0. All
crops in a favorable year may
amount to 10000, 900.
The only special attention that
has been given the poultry indus
try by the State has been given in
lectures and discussions at the
Farmers Institutes These lee
lures have been inspiring and in
structive and have greatly stimu-
lated the industry. A poultry de-
partment at Delaware Experiment
Station is now greatly needed and
would prove of untold value to the
State. Connecticut with no greater
rural population than Delaware
sells annually near1y $4,O0O,0OO
worth of poultry and poultry pro
ducts, Maine between $5,0OO,O0O
and $6,000,000 These states have
been fortunate in having given
poultry a very prominent place in
Experiment Station work. Probab-
ly the industry is better organized
in those states, or at any rate the
poultry people have co-operated in
enhancing the quality of their pro-
ducts and in getting better prices
in the market. There is much
work to do in this line in Della
ware. Arrangements are now un-
der way by which poultry depart
ment will be established at Newark,
and the international egg-laying
competition will be connected with
| if.

FARMERS OPPORTUNITY

The article concerning the plans
o. the Ritter Conserve Company,
given in last weeks issue of The
Post has created considerable in
terest among farmers in this vicin-
ity. We fell sure the company can
safely rely on big acreage of to-
matoes here next season. With a
big company such as the Ritter
concern, capable Of handling a
large acreage, the tomatoes will be-
come one Of the money crops Of
the section. Farmers around here
have long felt the need for such a
factory.
