The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits stated that the five large packers have been pro6teerng and that they have monopoly of the market These conclusions if fair and just are matters of serious not only to those engaged in the packing business but to every other citizen of country. The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement that the packers have monopoly is unsup- ported by the facts.
 The packers mentioned in the report stand ready prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
 The business is of the largest American industries Any citizen who would fsmiarize himself with its details must be prepared for large totals.
 The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers $14O,000,OO0 for the three war years. This sum is compared with $1sOOOoOO as the average annual rrot for the three years before the war; making appear that the profit $121 100000 greater than the prewar profit
 i5 compares three-year profit with oneyear pro6t-a sanifesy unfair method of comparison It only
 i21cadig, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made mistake in the figures themselves
 The aggregate three-year profit of $140000,000 was earned sales of four and half billion dollars about three each dollar of sales-or fraction of cent per pound of product
 Packers profits are negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit
 Furhermore-and this is very important < nall portion of this profit has been paid in diydends. The balance has been put back into the businesses had be, you realize when you consider the problems the packers have had to sove-and solve quiclly-durng these years.
 To conduct this business in times with higher costs and the necessity of paying two three times the former prices for live stock has required the of two three times the ordinary of working capital The additional profit

 If you business you will appreciate the signih. of these facts you unacquanted with business, talk this matter with business acquaintance with your banker sayand ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with those of any other large industry at the present time.
 No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade z ,. on in support of the that the large packers have monopoly. The Commissions report shows the large number and importance of other packers.
 The packers mentioned in the satetnent stand ready to prove to any fair minded person that they in keen competition with each other and that they have no power to manipulate prices.
 If this they would not dare to make this positive statement.
 Furthermore government figures show that the five large packers mentioned in the report for only about one-thrd of the meat business of the country. They wish possible to interest you in the details of their business Of how, for instance they can sell dressed beef for less than the of the live animal owing to utilization of byproducts and of the wonderful story of the methods of distribution throughout this broad land as well as in other countries. ...
 The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating with each other to the extent of together presenting this public statement.
 They have been able do big job for your government in its time of need they have met all time demands promptly and completely and they willing to trust their to the faTmindedness of the American people with the facts before them

SILO-ALFALFA CAMPAIGN.
To Take Place in New Castle County the
Week Of July 8.

The executive committee of the New
Castle County Farm Bureau has set
aside the week of July to II, inclusive,
for the New Castle county silo and
alfalfa campaign The slogan during this
campaign will be 100 more slos for New
Castle county Due to the increasing cost
OF producing milk, the executive commit
tee has devised this campaign with the
intention of inducing the farmers of the
county to produce more dairy feed on the
farm and thus cut in half the feed bill at
the mill. When commercial feeds are cost
ing from S55 TO $40 per ton and steadily
increasing in cost, it would seem highly
practical to substitute these 80 far as
possible with home grown feeds
Scientists and practical farmers tell us
that one-third of the feeding value of the
corn crop is in the stock As the fodder is
generally handled in the pound, only a
small portion Of the stock is consumed
Furthermore, one of the great advantages
of silage is as succ,ilencc and n condition
er When fed as dry fodder this value is
lost entirely.
The growing of alfalfa is no longer an
experiment. When given attention, al
falia is a highly profitable crop for New
Castle county. There is no hay crop that
will Weld the tonnage and the nutrients
as will alfalfa. Silage and alfalfa is a
combination that goes long way in feed
ing the dairy herd.
During the week Of July tn IL meet
ings will be held in all parts of the county
The dairy and the soils and crops com
munitv committeeman of the Farm Bureau
have scheduled meetings at Townsend
Middletown, Mt Pleasant, kirkwood,
Newark, Newport, Hockessln and Tai
ieyviIle The meetings will be held at
milk stations and on farms having -ilos
A special speaker from Washington will
address all Of these meetings Several
members of the County Farm Bureau will
be present, as well as County Agent Lead

SAME OLD EGGS.
Continued from page !

That same old pig-feeding threat we
heard last year-why, how how'd ye do,
stranger; we haven't seen you for long
while; since since, let's see--oh, yes,
since about the time there was talk oi
putting potatoes on the market at fair and
reasonable prices and before the puissant
Mir Harrington of Dover put criInp IN
YOU with honest spuds at honest tgures.
Well, we're sorry, but there's nothing
stirring in YOUR line today. and it's case,
SO far AS YOU are concerned, of that pre-
sently popular song about the old gray
mare not being what she used to was. In
other words, lot of these eggs will be led
to the pigs, if things go as they ought to go:
Having gotten over the excitement OF
introducing the king-bee of all prohteers,
we II yet down to brass tacks on this egg
proposition
In the first place, there is no earthly
reason for such a figure at this tune ol
wear other than that the farmer wants the
money, which is something OF chronic
condition of his. 1t 5 the same old farmer,
the same old gouge and the same old eggs.
In the second place, the public will he
very foolish to pay the price. There arc
simply scores OF stores, IN hing street and
elsewhere. and dealers who are selling
eggs every bit as good at from ten to
twelve cents dozen cheaper. Even the
verv highest of them are selling at As
cents. and that is fancy price. Why,
then buy from the curb marketcer?
Time and again, market observers have
pointed this out to housewives and very,
very many Of them have taken the advice
To heart. And the more who follow that
lead will be wiser in the ways of the mar
ket and heavier III purse
The fact that 81 cents n dozen Is no.
thing but rapacious extortlon Is proved by
the fact that stores far undersell the farm
or prohteer. They have to pay rent,
lighting and telephone expenses and other
overhead charges, including that of help.
And yet they sell eggs just as good again,
Ne say. lllst rs good as the farmer.
There is only one answer the farmer ls
getting the producer 5 profit, the commits
SION mans and the retailer &, and some
thing tn boot And II that ism extortlOn
then Kaiser William Is an archangel and n
minister OF grace and wouldn't harm
flea
Here's another fact. Down in Milford,
YOU can get eggs right from the hennery-
almost stolen from the mother hen. ono
might say for 32 cents q dozen, rcgI-
mcnts Of en- and the Milford folks think
that the sellers nave been taking lessons in
proft-gathering from Wiimlngton's curb
market when they pay that figure. Is IL
cents q good profit on b? II 50, Milford
eggs could be sold here at A cents and
actually double profit rcaped by the
Milford men
Anybody with the proverbial half an
eve can see what this 55-cent egg situation
is leading to nothing short of dollar or
-s-quarter eggs by Christmas.
They tried 1t last year and failed because
the public wouldnt stand IT. The same
dose repeated this year ought to do a lot of
work mslde's the farmers
heads.

Spanish Influenza is Prevalent
Among Germans All Along
Their Lines.

London, June ~. Influenza is now
epidemic all along the German front,
according 20 advices received from the
Dutch frontier, and the prevalence Of
this ailment is said 10 bc hampcring the
prepa rations for offensive operations.
The proportion of men sent to hos
pitfalls on account Of influenza has risen
rapidly in all the German units in the
last few days, and special hospitals are
being established in tho rear areas dealing
solely with this disease
Thus far only the more serious eases
have been sent to the hospitals, but the
German army doctors say that, unless
even the light cases are removed from the
units, il will be difficult TO prevent further
spread Of the epidemic.
The disease prevalent IN the German
Army is reported to be Of tho new Span
ish type, which recently broke out in
Berlin and other German cities, and Is
presumed TO have been brought 10 the
trenches by men returning from leave.
In the German critics the disease has
been very hard TO deal with owing to the
shortage of doctors and the conditions
of undernutrition among the city popu-
lations.
