Roughaqe For Cows.

The quality Of roughage that a COW
is fed will determine to some extent
the amount of concentrates that should
be allowed. For example, if roughage
Of good quality is given then the con
centrate allowance can be reduced.
Corn silage, together with alfalfa and
clover hay, can be raised on every
farm. These are as good roughages as
can be found, and their use will save
dairymen no small amount in the con-
centrate bill.

pEYRLOPING FARM MARKETsI

From the Dover State News.
Nothing can be Of more interest to
the people Of Delaware than the
development OF farm markets. When
we say that we believe IL is possible
for the producer TO get more for his
goods and for the same goods the
consumer would pay less at first
thought it would appear as if we were
stating an impossibility. We do say
this, however, and when we say it
we are proposing something which
we are convinced is perfectly prac-
ticable.
Last summer we told of something
which came directly urdcr our own
observation. Cantaloupes were sell
ing one day at Seaford fer one and
a half cents apiece. Tho same day
cantaloupes inferior in quality to
those sold at Seaford were being
served in the restaurants IN Whining
ton at twenty cents apiece. There is
too much difference
There was an increase here be-
tween Seaford and Wilmington of
something like thirteen hundred per
cent. We do not undertake to say
that the difference Is often so en-
phatic as in this instance but we do
say that the difference between what
the consumer pays and what the pro-
ducer receives is always and all the
time too great Delaware bears a
relationship to the best markets IN
the world which should be and in a
measure is at this time the States
greatest asset.
We believe the Delaware farmer
is getting too little for his produce
and we are even willing to say also
that those who buy Delaware produce
are paying too much for IL. There
is a problem here and like all prob
lens this one can solve itself. Della

GOOD WORK SHOULD
BE COMMENDED

From the Salisbury News.
While the WicOmicO News is thor
Oughly Democratic in its politics il
has always been fair IN it's criticism
OF the opposite party. We believe in
recognizing worth and merit where
ever it is found and we take great
pleasure I'm adding our commendation
TO the work performed by the State
Roads Commission in Maryland, not
"ithstanding a majority Of this Com
mission are Republicans.
We do not remember in cur experi-
ence in public affairs, where the work
of a Commission has been more high
ly commended by all classes Of citi-
zens than has the work of this Com
mission. Tie Chairman OF the Board,
Hon. A. E. Weller is a man of dis
tinctively high ideals and can be truly
said to have served his State we'll.
Being man of large business ex-
perience he has devoted this expert
ence in the management OF the af-
fairs of the State Roads Commission
to such an extent as to make Mary
land stand out prominently among
all the other States of the Union in
the matter of high-class road con-
structiOn. The work Of tie contrac-
tors under the watchful eye of Mr.
Weller and his associates on the
Commission has been done in the
most systematic and thorough man
ner and we believe the State has Sc
cured value received for every dollar
spent for road work under this Com
mission.
Governor GoldsborOugh can be
congratulated on having served his
State particularly well ia the selec-
tion of these gentlemen ard especially
in the selection Of Mr Weller as
Chairman of the Board. Under this
efficient management the State high
ways are being built with the utmost
dispatch and in the best possible
manner, and will soon he completed

other.

That the German movement is actual

the front that there are thousands OF
dead and wounded Germans in the ter

as steadily advancing, although very
slowly.
