The good news that Maryland had
voted last week for the constitutional
prohibition amendme ent is received by
temperance forces in Delaware with
Joy. There is no doubt had the Del
aware Legislature been in session,
this state would have been the first
to ratlfy but unless Governor Town
send calls an extra session, this i'm
portant question will have to wait
over. States one by one are joining

What about that special session of
the Legislature? If we are to have
a farm labor law we shall need it in
another month. " says the Dover
Index: "The farmers organizations
have asked for it, but perhaps some
employing industries and a class of
politicians who cater to the element
that might be affected, do not want
it. Delaware farmers are facing a
serious condition. Sufficient help to
cultivate and harvest this years crops
is not in sight. However patriotic a
farmer may be, he can do but one
mans work. At present prices the
farmer who lacks patriotism is selfish
enough to make him want to grow all
he can. Half of the farm labor that
can be empoyei is Inefficient. This
class. will not work more than half of
the time and exact wages and condi-
tions that cannot be paid and met.
How the labor that has gone away is
to be induced to return is up to the
farmers. The Nation needs all that
can be grown on the land and no man
who can work should be allowed tC
loaf or waste his time IN some useles:
occupation. Men who are able should
also be required to put in full time.
1t maysnot meet all our requirement.
as to farm labor, but farmers whC
know what they are talking about in

should try it. in our present dir
