It's charming stanzas are tender in

fine poetry truthfully expressed in the

Whether or not the author Ike thot

Our FARMERS THE STATE FAIR AND THE wAt

OJiR FARMERS THE STATE FAIR AND THE WAn
IT HE men Of this country have failed II In the
time Of need. It's farmers regarded by many
persons as the most dependable class it has.
President Wilson's message 10 them Thursday is
causing much discussion them because he
with hand that they produce and better crops
and with the other takes away their help.
Many farmers In Delaware have been sadly crippled
by the demands the draft and the munitions factories
and many who years gone by have directed the
work OF their farms only have been obliged because Of
labor shortage to and do the actual work them
selves Few Of them grumble however, but those who
know the inevitable result Of this sweeping clearance Of
farm labor wonder Just how the more end better crops
slogan can be heraded with success
In the beginning Of the war; the Canadian government
took away Canada's young farmers then demanded Of
those left behind that they produce crops The result
that after frutess season the more prominent
OF these farmers appeared before Parliament laid the
question before 10 and stated In emphatic terms the hand
caps Then it that the Canadian government took
heed and brought back from the front such as
could carry the work Of cattle and horse breeding
well the tllng Of the soil.
The question arising in the minds OF The in
this community who know by real and personal experi-
enco just what Canada did and Is doing now Is, "Nl
this Government cripple It's forces add TO It's expenses
and then be compelled TO recall who have been
enorated by the lighting and hardship and return them
10 their necessary occupations united for per-
haps TO do the thing which President Wilson asks. and
this world war?
In line with the Governments policy a request which
came during the past week TO the Delaware state Fair
asking that space be allotted for exhibit OF food
servation methods and agricultural interests. Such a
plan discussed for time last year but owing to the
great volume Of work required OF the Department Of
Agriculture the plan dropped much to the chasrin
Of the director Of the work Washington. There has
been lull in the activities Of the plan, however and
these exhibits TO be installed n all Of the larger fairs
The Department OF Agriculture frankly confesses that
the fairs the most important OF contact with all
classes farmers and realizes than ever the i'm
portance warning sounded by Or p. Orr Director
General Of the Canadian Exposition at Toronto at the
outset Of the war that the fairs the only factors
which reach all classes and thai they should be
regarded as a part Of the machine The Delaware
state Fair ready to the Government In any
way It can but II h is to do so. Delaware farms must
not be stripped fur her Of their help but to the
trary, be renamed properly that the farmers
do the things the Government wishes them to do, not
only with respect 20 the general situation but also
with respect to making each State fair For,
after ALL the Of state fair is dependent upon
the farmer.
