LEWES.

Captain Black, of the Engineering De
partment at Washington, was in Lewes
last week looking over the proposed ex-
tension of the Breakwater to the shore.
He recommended and favored piles of
stone separated BY a small space instead
of the solid breakwater. He said that
Congress will not grant sum sifficient
to build a solid breakwater to the shore
and if the stone piles are not sufficient
then Lewes can get an appropriation
large enough to build the solid break
water.

THE conditions in the towns of lower

THE conditions in the towns of lower
Delaware are rapidly approaching the
point when radical steps will have to be
taken to control the shipments of liquor
into this territory. There are many men
and women who have shipped to them
gallons of liquor each week, labelled
for personal use, which certainly
could not be consumed by dozen people.
The fact that the rse of liquor is being
abused, is evident by the increasing fre-
quency that men are seen upon the streets
of Milford at night in a semi-drunken
condition If the police arrest all cases
of this kind, and fines are imposed, the
town will at least be enriched by the
fines collected.

Prof. Linfie1d Talks to Manv
Fallon County Farmers

Prof. F. B. Linfeld, Director

On the subject of co-operation
and combination of farmers. he
said that the farmers is the on1v
class OF business men that buv
at retail prices and sell at WHOLE
sale prices. Farmers should CO.
operate and combine in purchas-
ing the leading commodities and
IN selling their products. Thus
working as a unit farmers can
get advantages they cannot 9TH
erWlse obtain. This does not nec-
essarlly mean to ignore local
merchants, but it does mean to
buy as a unit in larger quantities
and sell in the same way. Prof.
Lln1leld had much to say on farm
management that was very nrac-
tlcal.
tie asked how much fall calves
would bring on the market in the
fall. A rancher said they would
bring $35 and the second fall $50.
tie then asked if it was a good
practise to keep calves until full
~ grown or even until three years
Old. We inferred that the speak
er thought that it would be econ.
ofoy to turn calves off at $50 and
keep tie COWS.
Prof, Linheld said that he had
tabulated the data gathered from
fifty farms in the Gallatin VALLEY.
These farms are all in the same
township, and soil and external
factors are very uniform through
out. The better rs farms gave
an average labor income of ST.
365. 81 while the poorer 25 farms
gave 1851. 80 less than nothing in
labor income, According TO these
figures the average farmer is
making $5O2 per year in addition
TO the products the farm furnish
es toward his living. Over one
third of the farmers are not maxi
ing interest on their investment.
