FARMERS in this part of Delaware
have been cashing in on their grain
crop of 1916, and for ten days the
roads leading to Milford we're well
filed with wagons loaded with either
wheat or corn, destined for shipment
via cars to the city markets. All OF
last week while the roads were frozen
and it was good hauling. this condi-
tion prr vailed, and on Thursday more
than two hundred two-hOrse wagon
loads of grain came to Milford. The
railroad company was unable to sup
plv the cars and about forty Of the
wagons had to be unlOaded at the
storage bins in the phosphate factory
along the Mispillion. More than ten
thousand bushels Of grain were re-
ceived in Milford that day, and about
one-third OF this was corn, for which
one dollar per bushel had been paid,
and the balance was wheat, which sold
for 81. rs per bushel. The grain farm
ers thaYe been greatly benefited by the
high prices of grain. which is largely
the result of the European war; but
the fruit growers have not had the
same experience, and the outlook for
the coming season is not such as to
bring a hilarious state of feelings.
With the steady drawing of labor from
the farms to the railroads and mu-
milton factories, the fruit grower IS
getting anxious as to the labor sup
ply for 1917.

ONE of the evidences that the peo-
ple of Sussex County made no mistake
in changing from their old, incompe-
tent method of county government TO
the new laws which have created
three commissioner form of govern
ments.is the action of the new ofnclals
in establishing practical business
rules for conducting business. Under
the old wasteful system OF sixty years
and more duration, action was upon
the principle that the public be damn
ed. and members of the Levy Court
took care Of their own interests as
individuals. Orders for payment OF
work or supplies done for the county
were left in the order book, and could
only be secured by personal receipt
for the same, which resulted in sheav-
es of orders remaining filed out and
attached to the stubs in the order
books used by the Clerk of the Peace.
This practice has been stopped, and
now after an order is authorized by
the Levy Court Commissioners, it is
via U. S. mail to the in
diyidual in whose favor it is made out,
and the order is as good as a check
and can be deposited in the bank the
same as a draft, for collection. This
is business methods applied to public
affairs. If an individual has supplied
for the county and the bill
has been ordered paid by the Levy
Court, it is very proper that the order
for the money should be sent to the
one furnishing the service, the same
as a railroad, or an individual makes
of liabilities.

GOVERNOR John G. Townsend, Jr.,
has been vested with the responsible
ity of steering the ship Of state for
the next four years, and the people Of
Delaware need have but little anxiety
but that he will uphold the splendid
record of his predecessor. Delaware
is indeed fortunate in selecting her
governors, and the deep Christian
character, combined with the business
ability and experience which John G
Townsend, Jr., brings to the Office,
assures us that the finances, and the
civil government, will be maintained
upon a high moral and effective plane.
In his inaugural address Governor
Townsend was clear cut in defining
his attitude upon all the high lights
of government. Especially was he
strong in his urgent appeal for the
public schools, for real highways and
the question of the prohibiting of
shipment of liquor into districts
where the sale is prohibited, and we
believe that before the end of the pres
ent legislative session, measures to
meet the demands of all these ques-
tiOns will become laws. The inaug-
uration last Tuesday was picture to
long linger in the memory Of those
who were fortunate enough to be in
the Dover Opera House, and as the
new Governor delivered his address,
the waves of applause which rolled
over the auditorium, at the mention
Of subjects on which the people feel
deeply, left no question but that the
great majority of all the people was
with his statement as to what John
9. Townsend, Jr., as Governor Of
Delaware, stands for.
