KENT FARM BUREAU TO MEET

The Executive Committee of the
Farm Bureau met Monday morning in
the Farm Bureau Office to decide upon
some of the important questions which
are confronting the farmers at pres
ent. The newspaper statement that
the Army and Navy will not permit
Gamers to pay over $21 a ton for
tomatoes this year has caused consid-
cradle excitement in Farm Bureau
centers. The County Agent has not
received any official statement as to
the details of this matter but ex-
poets full information soon. The ex-
ecutive committee has decided to call
a special meeting Of all Kent COun-
ty Farm Bureau members, both men
and women, on Friday, March Is, in
Dover
In the morning a member of the
Food Administration, if he can be Sc
cured. will meet with the Farm Bur
eau to explain the price setting of
tomatoes, and also hear the farmers
side of the question We hope that
the matter of tomato prices can be
satisfactorily adjusted, because the
Country needs the tomatoes, but feel
that at $2l a ton the acreage planted
will be materially decreased, as farm
ers will grow corn or some other more
profitable crop instead of tomatoes.
Our great need at present is to win
the war and it is extremely unfor-
tunate that anything should occur
right at this time which will cut down
food production in the least Let us
as tomato growers not give way to
hysteria, but rather in the proper man
ner do what we can to correct any
injustice put upon US. Mistakes made
can often be righted. Let every Kent
County tomato grower come to the
meeting and learn the facts of the
case. The meeting will be held in one
of the Dover theatres so there will be
seating capacity for all.
In the afternoon DR.. AlOnzO Taylor,
one of Americas most able speakers,
will address both men and women on
Food Conservation. This will be a
wonderful chance for Kent County to
hear this subject presented by one
who is not only an eloquent speaker
but also well acquainted will all
phases OF this important topic. The
women of the Farm Bureau are to be
congratulated for their progress along
all lines of Importance, not only to
their own homes but also to the coun-
try's need. and in securing so able a
speaker for the coming meeting. This
will be the first county meeting where
the women are TO take a definite part
and it is expected that the attendance
will be limited only by the capacity
Of the house.
The tractor demonstration will take
place between April IL and 16 and will
be interesting to all who are contem-
plating buying tractors as most of
the best makes of tractors in the cOun- |
try will be represented in a three-days |
tractor meet.
On Monday drainage engineer W. |
Y. Hall from Washington inspected the 1
Culbreth ditch from Hazlettville to |
Mud Hill to make recommendations |
for widening and deepening the ditch |
to afford better drainage. Thounsands |
Of dollars worth of crops were lost |
last year due to poor drainage in
this section.

MILFORD GRANGE

The meeting on last Saturday was
a busy one There were several
postponed items of bushes to be
brought up and decided upon, and
considerable new business was dis
cussed.
The program was miscellaneous,
the most absorbing topic being the
question Of obtaining feed for the
spring. Marketing problems were also
discussed. The general opinion seems
that poultry growers must be assur-
ed Of feed, and also of more stable
prices and better protection in ship
ping their products before it will pay
them to consider enlarging their fiocks
to any great extent.
Various reasons have been given
by dealers as to the reason for the
present conditions. but the whole mat
ter is to be brought to the attention
of the Food Administration soon, when
it is hoped that some plan for relief
will be put into effect.
On Saturday, March 9th, by request
Of the Grange. Mr.. A. B. Peet will give
a talk on what he considers to be the
most profitable crops for the farmers
Of this vicinity to raise this year. This
talk will be followed by general dis
cussion.
March 10th will be given over to a
st. Patrick's Day entertainment, the
committee in charge being Messrs.
Willis Hammond. Wilbur Pierce and
Sonfard Truitt
