FARM BUREAU
TO HOLD ANNUAL
MEETING TUESDAY
Will Discuss Advisability Of
Joining American
Federation

"The Farm Bureau is now
stronger and is in a better posi-
ton to serve the agricultural in
terests of the county than at any
time since it's organization" said
Frank Yearsley, President of the
New Castle County Farm Bureau
when discussing the coming an
nual meeting, which will be held
at Wilmington, Tuesday, Novem-
ber 80, beginning at 11.30 o'clock.
Every state in the union, with
the exception of six, of which
Delaware is one, is now member
of the American Federation of
Farm Bureaus. This great organ
ization has raised funds and has
appointed committees comprising
the best brains of the country to
investigate and recommend amends
for the following pertinent
problems; the marketing of grain,
the marketing of dairy pro-
ducts and the market for canned
goods. Already an effective or
ganization has been perfected in
several states governing the sale
of livestock from which the farm
ers are reaping results. The ques-
tion whether Delaware will be-
come a member of this organiza-
tion and receive the prestige and
influence of a national agricul-
tural association with a member
ship reaching from coast to
coast, in solving her problems,
will be one of the pertinent sub
jects before this meeting.
The New Castle County Farm
Bureau in a period of three years
has evolved from an organization
of $50 individual members to one
of 600 families or approximately
1900 members. The Farm Bureau
is built on the needs Of the indi-
vidual farmers and it's purpose is
to serve the individual farmer
through the influence of it's or
ganization. The Farm Bureau is
an organization "of the people, by
the people and for the people"

lowed TO A
PUMPKIN PIE"

A pumpkin pie is luscious thing
'Twould tickle Lucullus' palate.
What bard would not of it's ex-
cellence sing?
And who wouldn't give it a
ballot?
1t is succulent gold and sunshine
mixed
A dish for the gods when properly
fixed
A wedge of it, please, and I'll split
my face!
Now hand me another-I'll run
you race!-
Hates off to the pumpkin pie!
A yellow globe in field of maize,
Some milk from the cows that
low o;
An egg or two that the speckled
hen lays,
And snow-white flour for the
dough o;
A pinch of this and trifle of
that
You never can tell what the cook
is at
l wish that l knew how the trick
is done;
l don't-but l know that under the
sun
There's naught beats pumpkin
pie!
Pm glad that l live in the world
to the vest
Don't tell me of Greece and it's
glory;
l want none of Already, Isles of
the Blest,
And other spots famous in
story!
The fruits of the South and the
fruits of the East
Could never, no, never, produce
such a feast
AS that which we eat meath Ohio
skies
When the pumpkin is yellow and
right for pies
Our glorious pumpkin pie!

EVERY NATION
HAS SOME FORM OF
THANKSGIVING
Fundamental Principle a Gus.
tom from Time I'M
memorial

Thanksgiving day is made up
from parts of celebrations of that
day by other peoples. The time is
taken from one, the feast from
another, and the gathering to-
gether of the people from still an
other. Long before the white race
came to this country the Indians
held festal day during this sea-
son of the year. They had a great
feast of roasted deer and bear,
boiled corn and stewed pumpkin,
and the women and warriors par
took of it on equality. The feast
was kept up far into the night,
and was followed by a dance of
the braves, keeping time to the
songs sung by the dusky maids of
the forests.
Thanksgiving also owes some
thing to the religious rites of an
cient nations. The oldest of these
is the Jewish feast of the taber-
nacles, with it's magnificent fes-
tivities. The festival occurred an
nually, at the end of the harvest
season, and continued for eight
days. Sometimes it was held as
early as the 25th of September,
but never later than the goth of
October. 1t was the feast of the
"ingathering" of the harvest of
all the fruits, the corn, the wine,
and the oil. The labors of the
field were then over for the year,
and the feast was an occasion of
joyousness and gladness to the
people. At this season the nation
assembled in Jerusalem, where
they lived in booths for seven
days. Impressive ceremonies and
professions took place each day,
and at night the court of the
temple was illuminated by lamps
and fiambeaux. At the end of
seven days joy the booths were
dismantled and the people cele-
brated an eighth day of solemn
rest.
The glory of the great Hebrew
festival has long since passed
away, but the fundamental prin-
ciple-that everyone should re-
joice in the fruits of the harvest,
together with the whole people of
the land "before the Lord"-has
entered into the harvest observ-
ances of Christian lands.
