THE FARNiERs are responsible for the
poor grade of peas packed in 1917, by
reason Of their failure to cut the peas
when matured ready for canning. The
farmer has lost money by so doing, be-
cause the peas after getting hard"
loose weight, and the Gamers pay for
weight only. Many loads of peas which
have stood for one or more days waiting
to be threshed, were so hard, that they
would have grown if planted in the
ground. Such peas are only fit for use
in the soup factories where they are
ground for that purpose. Lhe grade of
the peas packed in 1917 is far below the
grade of former years because of this re-
fusal of the growers to cut the peas
earlier. This will resultin less demand
for canned peas next year, and make
lower prices which will come back to the
grower later as a result.

The strawberry crop here this year
has been one of the largest SeIbyville
has ever known. During the entire
season last year there were 7O6 cars
shipped from here, while 20 cars was
the largest shipped in any one day.
This year the largest one day ship
ment has been 70 cars, while SIS
cars have been shipped out already
and the season is not over by a week
or ten days. All indications are that
this will be the largest crop that Sell
byville has ever handled. "Uncle
Sam" got his man on the job here to
issue daily reports to the growers and
buyers. showing The amount Of daily
shipments and to what cities the ber
ries are distributed and the prices
paid. So if Selbyville increases her
yield OF berries. and there is every
indication that she will, Uncle Sam
will know and give her credit for do
ing her bit for the national need.
Everyone is very busy at this time.
All berry growers and buyers have
every available man, woman and
child they can employ handling from
until night. The ice plant.
the factory, the railroad station, the

GOVERNOR TOWNSEND is right in de-
manding that the State Of Delaware shall
be represented in this greatest of all
wars, with a full regiment. Without
such unit, the State of Delaware will
loose its identity in the military history of
states Of the Union, and its men be serv-
ing under and with the military units of
either another state, or be absorbed into
the Regular Army of the United States.
There has been an earnest demand for
the formation of regiment in Delaware
from those who have pride in her military
record. In the Revolutionary War in
the war of 1872, in the Mexican War; in
the War Of Rebellion and in the Spanish.
American War, Delaware has page Of
history which has been a pride for all
Delawarians, and to fail to continue this
record in the greatest epoch of all time,
the Governor very properly looks upon
as a great crime against the State of Del
awrre. This situation has been the re-
suit of mistaken policy of the past few
years which dominated the military
affairs Of Delaware; but, that is now past,
and Governor Townsend will leave no
effort untried to restore Delaware to her
own once more. He has been in Wash
ington this week wo1 king with with the Sena
tors and Congressman from Delaware,
to get the War Department TO arrange
for the acceptance of full regiment
from Delaware. It is as certain as that
day follows night, that enough men from
Delaware will be called to service in the /
army, and they should be, and they can /
be if the effort is made, be formed into |
the First Delaware Regiment in the war /
with Germany. All success to Governor
Townsend in his effort for the honor and .
integrity of Delaware's military history.

THERE SEEMS to be a general belief in
United States that in some mysterious
way the Army and Navy will be victorious
and that the submarine boats will be
wiped off the earth and that we are not
directly interested in the actual work of
conducting the war. We confess that we
have no such belief or illusions. For all
practical purposes, the German army is
victorious and has accomplished the pur-
poses which the military genius of
that country had planned. The war
today is being fought upon other soil
than that of Germany, and the devasta-
ton and horrors of war are staged on
other soil than lhat OF Germany. The
coal mines of France and the harbors of
Belgium supply the German army with
its needs while the lands of these two
countries are the battlefelds. The whole
of Germany is devoted to furnishing
supplies for the people and their armies
in the field. No, the entrance of the
United States into the great war, will
not accomplish the defeat of Germany in
any spectacular campaign, and we will
have to experience the horrors Of war as
our allies have experienced them, before |
victory and peace comes to the warning
nations,
Milford chronicle., 1917-06-22

IT IS RIGHT for us to believe and have
confidence in the valor and strength Of
the United States in all forms of finance
and military effort, but, as matter OF
fact, are we at present in the attitude OF
sanguine dreamers, and fail to consid -r
the powers of offense which other nations
have and will put into force against our
army and navy after it is organized to is
highest stage. The average man and
woman of the United States in some
vague way believes that this country can
and will, whip the world-but how that
event is to be accomplished, their dreams
have as yet failed to make the plans
clear. Money will not win battles alone
and it will require the patience. the
strength and the suffering of hardship by
our soldiers, and curtailment of our
privileges as everyday citizens, as well
as money to bring about a peace which
will be with credit to the United States,
and prevent the repetition of the great
war in which we with the balance of the
civilized world, are engaged, to save and
firmly establish democratic government
in all countries. and preserve the freedom
of the United States, with equal rights
for all countries on the high seas.
This subject has been discussed by
Spencer Churchill, and pre-
sented so clearly that all who have
looked into the situation, must under
stand the seriously critical condition in
which we are placed, and the necessity
hat strong hands must direct the policy
If this Government, and at the same
ime credit the enemy with ability to
protect his own country. This war will

must elapse between the commencing
