BALL TO RETIRE.
Senator Says He Cannot Continue as
County Chairman

Al the meeting Of the Republican
County Committee, at the Young Mems
Republican Club, on Saturday, Senator
l.. II. Ball announced his intention Of re-
firing from the chairmanship, when the
committee elects officers this year, and
that that was the last meeting he ex-
pected TO attend as chairman. He has held
the office 26 years.
The commtTee arranged for holding
next Saturdays primaries. The tickets
are to go to the printer tomorrow, which
will allow all day today for any candidates
to withdraw their names.
Some city members discussed the ques-
tion OF whether city committeeman should
be elected from each election district or
from wards in Wilmington, and IT was left
to the city committee to determine. In
the past the committeeman have been
elected from the wards at large, but it in
claimed by some Republicans that this
method is unfair For instance, il was
pointed out that about 40 names for COM
mitteemen have been filed in one ward,
while only IA committeeman are to be
elected. Under the old plan several COM
mitteernen could come from one election
district and serve in other districts. The
city committee will decide whether to
provide for electing committeeman from
each election district or from the wards
at-lauge at meeting tonight.

of property, but making no provis ion as to
who should be the Judge in this matter
Ii seemed TO be an ,lnvarranted reflection
upon the present board
In opposing House bill 81, providing
that railroads should provide drinking
water in each car, it was felt that the mat
ter had better be left to the railroads
themselves, believing that no such legis-
lation was necessary to compel the rail-
roads to provide for the comfort of their
passengers. The present regulation under
which drinking water was removed from
Administration for which the officers of
the local roads were not responsible.
In opposing House bill 90, relative to
demurrage to be paid by common car
rier for delay in transportation or delivery
Of personal property, the board felt that
it would be impossible to locate the cause
and responsibility for the delay and would
simply add an unenforceable law to our
statute books, and that the act is so
ambiguous that it would be impossible to
interpret it.
In otnosIng House bill %, providing for
a lien on t1otors, etc, for supplies furnish
td, the board of directors felt that tins bill
simply urovidts means whereby the State
will be made collecting agency for deal
els In automobile supplies and should hc
opp, scd on that ground.
Its opposition 10 House bill 40, an act
to regulate motor vehicles, was due TO the
fact that the provisions proposed in this
act arc already n law Of the State, hence il
was unnecessary To further burden our

TOMATO SITUATION.
Not Profitable Unless Average Production
Per Acre is Raised

The tomato situation in Delaware this
year, say the experts at the experiment
station at Delaware College needs care
ful thought.
II the average tonnage Of fruit grown
per acre is not raised'the industry will no
longer prove profitable for the majority
of growers and the canning industry will
at the least be seriously crippled 1t IS
also possible that the tomato canneries
might be forced to seek new locations for
their operations. For the canneries to
leave this state would be a real catastrophe
to the agricultural interests of the State
The interests of the tomato growers and
the tomato Gamer are closely bound to-
gether and what ever Injuries one will
injure the other The present situation
calls for team work by everybody con-
ccrned in the tomato industry
The real cause of the present crisis
in the tomato industry Is that the cost
of production of the raw product is too
high The reason Of this is the low Weld
per acre. The remedy is TO increase the
tonnage weld per acre and thus cut down
the cost OF production per ton.
