STRAWBERRIES At SELBYVILLE.
Selhvville. Del. Jul

Selbyvile, Del, July 6, 1915.
An article in the Union Republican
under date of July End, was so seriously
wrong that | am constrained to give
some figures. We do not wish to rob
Bridgeville of any of her glory, for we
respect Bridgevile enterprise, but the
article was headed "Bridgeville Still In
the Lead, D." which is an error. as | will
show
That article says that Bridgeville's
heaviest strawberry season was ATS cars
while this year they shipped 387 carloads.
Now Selbyville shipped this season 652
cars and used % cars at the preserving
plant here, making the 1915 crop here
675 carloads. Does that look like Bridge
Vile in the lead? The two gentlemen in
the Union Republican office are very
estimabe men but they failed to get the
facts.
Further regarding the Selbyville deal
the farmers during the year 1914 shipped
AIS cars. for which sales amounted to
s444. OOO 90. and the 1915 crop of 675 cars
only shows sales amounting to S337, 600:
And this money might be distributed
throughout the country somewhat as
follows: 81.
Pickers ....... STA, $50. 90
Crate manufacturers 43, ,47000 |
Fertilizer concerns $4,000. 90 |
Frrit brokers 15,0000 90 |
Crowers Net 153, 10000 |
1897, 500. 90 |
Now take these 675 cars at the aver
age of 23O crates per car and you have
155. $50 crates of 80 quarts each, or !
q, as. 600 quarts or about 397, 44O, 900 |

Of ice. or about 2, 500 tons. The freights
at Selbyville office alone, in and out, have
amounted to more than $35, 900 during |
the months of May and June.
Is Bridgeville still in the lead? No. |
We claim 10 have had more strawberries
here this year than any other single
shipping point in the world;

RURAL CREDIT AND
RURAL THRIFT

The South and the West and
the Northern agriculturalstate,
have much to learn in the way
of rural thrift from the New
England rural communities
The constant cry is easier cred
it for the farmer, but what the
farmer most needs is more
thrift. Some of the Southern
states are cursed with crop lien
laws which are holding back
the rural communities by allow
ing a man to mortgage his fu-
ture work and hopes and keep
him continually in debt instead
of allowing him to lay
something aside. 1t is an aston
fact that Massachusetts
has five timesmore savings bank
deposits than have tWelvesouth-
ern states. In Massachusetts
threre are $500, 1000 peopleand
$3.50, 600 of them have savings
bank deposits. IN three years
the savings banks in connection
with the public schools showed
I, 400, 600 deposits. Every school
in the rural communities ought
to have a course of thrift
talks, whereby the teacher
could lay before the scholars
the necessity of savings portion
of whatever money they might
earn. This money could be de-
posted in savings banks and,
later, when it has grown, could
be used to purchase good, safe
bonds paying three and one
half to five per cent interest.
The child's mind, as well as the
minds of those who are older.
should be impregnated with the
fact that it is notwhat one earns
that makes a competency for
old age, but what one lays a.
side.

the same is true of Turkey.
France, we may hope, is our
friend, and Italy seems to bear
no grudge against us, but Spain
has not yet forgotten '98.Japan
would like to have a bout with
us, and upon our own hemi-
sphere we are regarded with
feelings that range from un-
friendly indifference to actual
hatred.
There are many reasons for
this attitude of the nations to-
ward us. Some dislike usforone
thing and some for another, but
there is one emotion that infIu-
enees all of them, more or less.
and that is envy. The United
States is the richest nation on
the globe. Although we are but
9 per cent of the worlds popu-
lation it is estimated that we
have one-fourth of its wealth,
and we are continuing to accu-
mulate wealth in a way thatex-
cites the jealousy and the Gu
pidlty of other nations. To mag
Inc that under such circumstan-
ces, we can forever continue to
live IN splendid isolation" is a
very impractical one. The Unit
ed States must be prepaed to
protect its own. It must guard
Its treasures. When dislike and
envy unite it needs but a trifle
to create open hostility.-Globe

Nobody Loves Us!

We are inclined to think that
Mr.. Joseph H. Choate puts it a
little too strong when he says
that the United States is one of
the most hated nations in the
world today. It is unhappily true
that hatred is now the domin-
ant emotion in a large part of
the earth, and that some of it is
directed toward us. But hate is
a hard word, representing an
active passion, and we do not
believe it is the feeling with
which we are regarded by any
nation in general, although
there can be no doubtthat there
are many individuals who would
like mighty we'll to get at our
Threats. However, we have no
doubt that no nation is more
generally disliked than ours.
There is hearty dislike, and, in
truth. some hatred for usinGer-
because of our stand on
the submarine question and be-
cause of our sales of munitions
to the allies. The same feeling
exists in Austria. Great Britain
to say the least, has no love for
us. The mass of herpeople seem
to think we ought to have made
common cause with them, and
we ougt not to interfere intheir
blockade operations. Russia, of
ficially, has never liked us, and

SHALL ARKANSAS co
BACK TO COTTON

This is the question hundreds
of Thoughtful men are asking
now since the cotton and seed
prices have gone up. Of course
the temptation is great and if
cotton were to be planted next
week It is possible that many
would pillow up the fence cor
ners. But that would be foolish.
It only takes about so much cot
ton to supply the worlds need
and if the south were to go be-
yond the demand the price
would GO down and the farmer
would get less than it cost him
to raise it. The Farmers Union
and the business men of the
state are agreed that the farm
ers will lose money if they do
go back. Let all play safe and
raise a big garden and lots of
feed for stock and get more
stock and make the entire liv-
ing and own the cotton free
from mortgage when it goes to
the gin next fall.

| Archaeologists have come acros. speci-
mems Of iron in Egypt which have puz-
l zled them. Recently in opening some
graves in Nubia. the ancient Ethiopia.
an iron spearhead was found in good
condition. The grave dates from about
| 1900 B. C. and in any svent was long
before iron was known elsewhere.
| This spearhead was discovered by an
expedition OF the University museum,

ancient relics. 1t is now in the mu-
scum. and the astonishing thing is that
It is precisely like the spearheads made
by the natives in Africa today.
There are parts of Africa where the
iron ore looks like sand. Possibly tho
discovery OF iron came from building
fires on this sand. The natives now
know how 10 smelt the ore. and bars of
iron are the most approved currency
among the tribes.
The native village blacksmith IL an
important parsonage. He Is usually .
wanderer, like tho travelling tinker. but
there seems TO be a rather closely or
gained guild among them. The bel
lows are small and are worked gener-
ally by two men. They keep the fire
very hot. The smith often uses a stone
for an anvil. and his hammers are very
rude. Seeing these crude implements,
one would never suppose II possible to
accomplish much. but, they turn out

They work with considerable cers-
mony and are highly esteemed. Witch
craft enters into their ceremonies. and
the natives believe that only thus can
good work be accomplished.

village. All Join in. Dancing does not
seem to enervate the natives and ap-
parently takes the place of sleep.
