STATISTICS CON-
PILED ON NEW
CASTLE FARMS
First Report From Agricul-
tural Census

Statistics compiled to date by w.
T. Edgar, of Granogue, graduate
of Delaware College in charge of
the agricultural census recently
taken by students of Delaware Col
lege, at the request of the Food
Conservation Committee appoint
ed by the Governor, disclose a
number of interesting facts. Re-
ports from the first four hundred
farms show, in many cases, suf-
ficient help to carry on the work of
the farms, provided the help re-
mains. The greater portion of
farm labor in Delaware comprises
colored persons and very few of
the farmers visited have made re-
QUESTION for students to assist in
farm work.
With the exception of three
farmers, as far as understood, not
more than five acres Of potatoes
will be raised on the four hundred
farms. Eight per cent Of the
farmers visited claim that cows
are paying good profit. Ninety
two per cent claim they are losing
money on their herds, due to the
advanced cost of commercial feed.
AS far as can be learned none
of the farmers need any supplies
of seeds, plants or fertilizers, nor
are they in need of lobor-saving
machinery. Very few cases have
been found where financial assist
ance is needed to produce nor
NAL or increased crop.
In rural New Castle County very
few silos were found. On these
farms the productiveness was
found to be greater than on farms
where feed was stored in barns or
in stacks.
Not many farmers could tell the
usual ration they feed to their
dairy cows, nor what the average
yield of milk per cow is each day.
The hog question seems to be
one that is perplexing the farmer,
due to the good prices which are
offered for young pigs, and very
few of them will increase their
herds. In the past three years
very little disease has been MOTTO
ed among the herds of swine in
this community.
The diseases among the crops
during the past year have been
hardly noticeable. In some cases
smut has been found in the wheat,
but is is believed that by chemical
treatment, is has been eliminated
There are only a few poultry
farmers in New Castle County
Farmers wives are the poultry
keepers and few poultry diseases
are to be found. The greatest dan.
ger of the poultry in this neighbor.
hood is from thieves.
Tomatoes will be planted by very
few farmers, the prices offered not
being considered enough to cover
the cost of labor and fertilizer
Farmers claim they can realize
more revenue per acre by planting
wheat or corn. Of hay and alfalfa
there will be a normal acreage
Soy beans and cows peas will MOI
be up to normal.
Rotation crops are being insist
ed on by the landlords Of the var
ious farms, the tenant being allow
ed only to raise enough truck t.
supply his own family. Most o.
the farms in New Castle County
are tenanted, and the tenants arr

SILVER WAS HIGHER
SINCE CIVIL WAR

II sometimes Is stated that the
present price of silver is the highest
since the Civil war, but this is not
the case. The Mining and Scientific
Press OF September Is lit should be
noted that silver has increased in
price since) says on this subject:
Silver Is nearing the dollar mark.
The latest quotation-96B cents per
ounce-is the highest since the Civil
war, as has been asserted by careless
commentators.
During that war the price was fair
ly steady at about $1.34 and 1t was not
until 1885 that 1t fell below the dollar,
rislng subsequently as high as $l.2l
In 1890, when the purchase of 100000
ounces per month so long as the
price did not exceed S1.2929 per
ounce.
THE repeal OF that act and the clos
ing OF the Indian minis started a de-
baele that eliminated on July 20, 1915,
when the price reached 1857 cents.
During the 20 years preceding 1916
the price average So cents and in 1916
it was 65.7S. Between the low figure
OF two years ago and the present
quotation there is an advance of SO
cents or slightly more than leo pei
cent.
Even the recent high quotation does
not reflect the whole advance, for
premium of as much as AZ per cen
has been paid, at Toronto. on pur
chases OF the metal. Here, in Sar
Francisco, a premium OF 5 cents pei
ounce has been paid on purchase
for export to China.
This condition Of the market i
due to causes that are recognized. No
only has the production decreased, Blu
n growing demand has been create
by the war. Twenty years ago tn
worlds production of silver was 1856
C00,OOO ounces. of which the Unite
States contributed 58.5O0,000 ounce
and Mexico 41.4OO.OCe. In 1916 tn
worlds total was 172.4C0.oCO ounces
