kent COUNTY FARM
BUREAU met MONDAY
At Dover To Discuss Some of the Im.
mediate Needs Of the Orga-
RizatiOn.

The executive committee of the
Kent County Farm Bureau met on
Monday at Dover to discuss some OF
/ the immediate needs of the organiza-
tion.
In every section OF the county there
IS an increasing interest to determine
what the Kent County tomato growers
should be willing 10 accept as a con-
| tract price for tomatoes this year.
The farmers as a whole are willing to
go the limit in producing crops this
year but desire some assurance that
they will get a square deal and be
able to realize some profit under the
present conditions of scarcity and
nigh cost Of labor and of all materials
the farmer must buy. The Farm Blu
reau has decided to carefully inYes-
tigate the cost of tomato production
IN Kent County and then the farmers
will be in a better position to know
at what price they should contract for
and still realize a profit.
Mr.. Harry Clark of Kenton. Mr.. Ben
Moor of Dover and Mr.. Jefferson Coo
per OF Cheswold we're appointed as a
committee which with Prof. McCue
will carefully investigate the produc-
ton cost from every angle.
On Tuesday, Feb. 18th, a County
wide meeting will be held in Dover to
hear the report of the committee and
take definite steps concerning tomato
prices for this season. Let everyone
who has any figures on the cost Of to-
mato production present them to the
committee or bring them to the meet
ing.
At the last meeting Governor Town |
send stated he desired to cooperate |
IN every way in solving the labor situ-
alton IN Delaware and stated also that |
4 number Of patriotic individuals were
willing to equip tractors and plow and
harrow for the farmers at a reason
able rate if a sufficient number ex-
pressed their desire for this work.
labor saving machinery such as corn
larvesters and corn huskers will be
much needed this fall and will not
'nly relieve the labor shortage but
ilso help to cut down production
osts. Action on this matter must be
AIKEN Immediately and will be con
idered at the Feb. 18th meeting.
PREVIOUS to the meeting each com
nunity chairman will be asked to
arefully investigate the demands for
he use OF tractor in his section and I
eport to County Agent Zimmerley.
.rangements are being made for a
ig tractor demonstration early in !
pril in which many tractors will be {
epresented
