MILFORD GRANGE

Last Saturday was such an un-
pleasant day that the attendance at
Grange was small, but a very inter-
esting session %=as eninved BY those
present. Reports of recent Farm Bu-
reau meetings were given by those
who had attended them. The speak
ers emphasized the thought that the
Grange and the Farm Bureau, work.
ing as they do along the same lines,
should by mutual sympathy. and CO.
operation, work together for the COM
mon good
The program next Saturday will be
one of special interest at this time, be-
ing discussion on the proposed new
Drainage Law. A. B. Peet, DR.. r. K.
Stephenson, Messrs. Dill, Farber,
Lemex, Hammond and others will
speak on points considered. Mrs. Lewis
will present another topic of present

give Just for fun" feature.
Saturday evening the Grange plans
to have social gathering at the hall,

tion for the new Master. All MEM
bers and their families are invited to
come and enjoy the music, games and
refreshments and to enter into the

UNCLE SAM INQUIsITIvE

Government agents have visited all
Caroline County. Md. packing plants
the past two weeks and have made a
thorough inspection OF the books Of
each with a view of getting at the ex-
ira cost of production during 1918.
This action on the part of the Gov
ernment is construed as possible in
tention for regulating the price for
selling during 1919, and consequently
the price of raw stock If this con-
lecture be true, the high price Of to-
matoes during the past season will be
impossible this year.
The Government agents were very
thorough in their examination, and a
pretty accurate basis of production
was arrived at. though in every fac
tory in the county the price for to-
matOes varied from so cents up. AS
the canned goods industry is most vi
tally important there would seem to
be little doubt but that an approximate
price for such products may be estab-
lished
At any rate, but few, if any, Caroline
Gamers are willing to contract at this
time and the interest NOW shown by
the Government in the canning busi-
ness naturally renders all packers
additionally more unwilling to con-
tract. Those Caroline farmers who
are anticipating so cent rate for to-
matoes this year will be sadly disap-
pointed if present indications mean
nything.-Caroline Sun.

TOMATO GROWERS To
ORGANIZE FOR SEASON
Desire to Establish Prices Before They
Plant the Crop Of This
Year

At a meeting of the tomato growers
of Kent county at Dover on Tuesday
II was decided to take immediate steps
to cooperate with the growers OF
Maryland and New Jersey in an effort
to obtain definite information from the
packers as to what price growers may
expect TO receive from their crops this
year.
The meeting was presided over by
F. NJ. Soper, president OF the Kent
County Farm Bureau, who explained
that he had been requested by the
Maryland Growers Association to send
delegation from Kent county to a
meeting of growers and Gamers to be
held at Hurlock this week. 1t was
decided to send more than one dele
gate and President Soper, Robert
Greenlie of FELTON, and County Agent
A. d. Cobb were named.
The growers also asked that the
Farm Bureau take immediate steps to
call a general meeting of the tomato
growers of Kent county to discuss the
matter of forming local growers as
sociations, to cooperate with the sim
liar associations in Maryland and New
Jersey. The growers made in plain
that it was not their desire to antag-
onize the Gamers. but rather to CO.
operate with them in bringing about
conditions to stabilize the market.
The new members Of the Kent Coun-
ty Farm Bureau Executive Committee
met in Dover Monday. A report on
the Federal government sale of nitrate
Of soda to farmers at cost was given
by County Agent A. d. Cobb, showing
that local farmers were again order
ing nitrate through the Farm Bureau.
President F. NJ. Soper appointed
Harry 3. Clark of Kenton, E. H. Dom
ovan of Smyrna. W. V. Cosden and
Mrs. X. L. Cowgirl of Dover and Mrs.
Theodore Cavender of Cheswold to
serve on a committee to cooperate
with similar committees from New
Castle and Sussex counties, to look
after the interests of the Farm Bu-
reau movement before the present
General Assembly.
Requests from tomato growers in
several parts of the county asking that
steps be taken 10 cooperate with the
growers in New Jersey and Maryland
in organizing to protect rne1r interests
were considered and the committee
decided TO arrange for a general meet
ing of the tomato growers to outline
plans for the coming season.

U. S. INCOME TAX

The big income tax drive of 1919 is
now under way and every preparation
is being made to handle the largest
collection in its history. Il am not
waiting for the final passage of the
new revenue bill by Congress-" said
Collector Joshua W. Miles. nor for
the new regulations and blank forms
to be issued. To get this big tax in
and get it accurate and complete
urge that we all begin now. The in
come tax obligations imposed by the
old laws, as well as the measure now
in Congress. consist of two distinct
operations. One is to file return or
statement of all items of income and
items Of deductions allowable by law,
and to do this within the period nam
ed in the law. The other is to pay
the tax, if any is due.
Neither of these obligations can be
met without careful review of in
come and expenditure for the tax year.
That is the big job right now and that
is why ! say the income tax drive is
already under way. Everywhere the
pencil is busy. The old year is done;
all its fruits are CLEANED, and every
person who Jared well or earned a
good competence must analyze his own
case in cold figures.
When the new bill is enacted into
law / will have the proper return
forms distributed throughout the dis
trict and everybody will be informed
of the date when the sworn return
must be filed. 1t is my plan to send
my men out to central locations and
to have them travel through the dis
trict aiding taxpayers in the prepara-
tion of the returns and in deciding
doubtful points. We will go right to
the people with the income tax, and
with the cooperation which the public
can give the government men. the re-
turns will be filed by everybody who
comes under the laws provisions, the
right taxes will be paid and the dis
trict will have done its full patriotic
duty toward the governn ent's support
Meanwhile, let NE say again, there is
no need of delaying the preparation of
figures. Anything that Congress does
now will not effect the amount of
persons earnings for 1918 Let us
avoid the belated throwing together of
figures that may hit or miss. Guesses
cannot be accepted as the basis of
taxation. It is clearly the duty of
every person to compile correct fig
ures and ascertain whether his income
for 1918 was sufficient to make neces-
sary sworn return"

THE PARCEL POST To
BRING US GOOD ROADS
Chief Engineer Upham, of Highway
Commission, Tells Of Plans Of
Government

The proposition to increase by a
hundred-fold the parcel post business
of the country and to establish and ex-
tend the mOtor-post system through
utilization of thousands of government
motor trucks returning from abroad,
are a few of the plans now being
worked upon by the experts in the post
Office department. all looking to the
eventual improvement Of highways.
not only throughout the country, but
also in Delaware, through the revenue
derived.
The fact that this work is now go
ing on in Washington under the direct
supervision of James Blakslee, Fourth
Assistant POstmast General. was re-
vealed this week by Charles NJ. Up
ham. the chief engineer of the Della
ware Highway Commission.
Mr.. Upham also told for the first
time the conditions on road building
as he met them in Chicago. when he.
as Delawares representative, attended
the first Highway Congress to be held
in the United States, at which repre-
sentatives from forty-fOur States and
nine from Canada we're on the floor.
These sessions, held in the Congress
Hotel. under the auspices of the Amer
lean Association of State Highway Of
ficials and also the Highway Industries
Association, and for nearly a week in
tense conferences were held, informal
and otherwise, on the real issue before
the congress, the Endorsement of a Fed
eral Highway System and recommend
ing the appropriation of $500.000.O00
for the construction and maintenance
by the Federal government of an in
terstate road system.
Mr.. Blakslee said efforts are being
made to so organize and inaugurate
the Motor Truck Parcel Post trans
portation that the thousands of trucks
now with the troops abroad, when
brought back to this country can be
utilized in this new proposition, there
by making greater parcel post sys-
TEN and at the same time make room
for the employment of thousands of
soldiers.
