HOT COMEBACK BY

The reply Of Premier Clemenceau
saya:
Gin your note you state that Ger
many while accepting in November,
1918, the obligation TO make repars-
tion,' did not understand such an &C.
.ceptance to mean acceptance Of her
responsibility waa Involved either for
the war or for the acts of the former
German government and that It Is only
possible to conceive Of such an obli-
cation II its origin and cause is the
responsibility of the author of the
damage. You add that the German
people would never have undertaken
a war OF aggression.
"Yet, IN the note from Secretary Of
state. Lansing of November S, 1918,
which you approve Of and advise In
favor Of your contention, it is stated
that the obligation to make Feparation
arises out Of fGermany's aggression BY

this country when they have not been
able TO count their time as a proper
charge in making up the cost of pro-
duction. We believe city people
should know that the average annual
labor income of the farmer, includ-
ing that of his wife and children as
shown by the last federal census
was only $31S.22. They should know
that owing to manipulation in adj
ministering the grades and standards
together with the damage done by
hot weather to the maturing crops,
the winter wheat producers are re-
ceiving as low as $1.15 per bushel

in other crops, labor enters in the
last analysis as the chief item of cost
ard city people should realize that
the effort that is being made by au-
thority of the government to restrict
or still further reduce the price at
the farm must inevitably lead to
denying the farmer living wages.

while we again express our approval
OF every reasonable effort to reduce
the cost of necessaries we wish also
to emphasize that care must be taken
to safeguard the farmers labor costs.
we at this time shall insist on a
change in the wheat standards so as
not to penalize every grower of
wheat. Hundreds of millions of
bushels of wheat have been shriveled
by extreme heat this season which
under the present grading and dis
count rules may not average the pro-
Queer $l.50 per bushel. Authorita-
tive investigators have found such
wheat to be of the highest milling
value and it is unthinkable that
farmers should sustain a loss of from
90 to rs cents per bushel by reason
of the arbitrary standards that have
been established. This wheat in
large measure will go into the pro-
dUction of the best patent flours and
he sold TO the consuming public at
prices based on No. l wheat. The
producers are thereby defrauded and
the consumers receive no benefit"

TOMATO GROWERS TO
FORM ASSOCIATION
Committee of II Will Report
on Thursday

Ihe formation of a Tomato
Growers Association, one of the
projects urged by the New Castle
County Farm Bureau is now as
sured and will doubtless be COM
pleted at meeting to be held in
Wolf Hall tomorrow as announced
elsewhere in this issue.
AT recentl meeting of the
Farm Bureau, a committee of 12
was appointed to make preliminary
plans. After careful consideration
of the subject and consultation
with members of similar associa-
tions from neighboring states, this
committee, consisting of Arthur
W. Rounds, chairman, Archie L.
Peel, secretary, Thomas Green, J.
l.. Holloway, Edwin Guthrie,
Emery Ewing, Paul Murray, Ar
thur G. Maxwell, John F. Richards,
Joseph Singer, Herman Cook, and
Enoch Slack, met at Ewing's store
on Thursday evening for a con-
ference. The members made very
encouraging reports and voted to
call a public meeting on Thursday
when tomato growers will have an
opportunity to join the association
It was decided to make the mem
bership dues just sufficient to
cover necessary expenses, the sum
of soc being decided upon.
The advantages of the associa,
tion were discussed by those pres.
ent. 1t was shown that better pro.
lection could be secured for the
growers, better terms secured from
the packers and in general a bet
ter market for the product and fol
the surplus which under pres
ent arrangement is in many case:
a loss to the grower. After the
county association is formed it i!
planned to call representative o.
the P. J. Ritter Co. into conference
with reference to next years con
tracts.
It is planned also after tn
formation of the county organiza
tion to communicate with Mary
land and New Jersey growers witt
a view to forming tri-state as
sociation.
