DIR. RHOADS VIEWS
new YORK FARMING

Dear Editor
Owing TO the want of a typewriter
for use in the short note / sent you,
Won mistook the work Stock, for
stack. The New York farmers stook
their wheat in stocks some OF whlch
are over thirty feet long, and nave
thirty or forty sheaves in them. None
of the stocks have any caps on them.
An other peculiarity, they always
set ND their stocks so that they run
north and south. This is invariable
no matter how the lands lies, and
enable the sun to shine a half day on
each side of the stock. Remember,
the stocks are not capped, ana that
they never have spoiled wheat from
sprouting.
New York wheat, I am ashamed 10
tell. produces from forty to forty-hve
bushels per acre When they asked
me how much our land produced per
acre. / told them we cleared up to
hundred and fifty dollars an acre on
peas, and forgot about the wheat.
The northern New York farmers
grow corn only for silos. They do not
feed corn to their horses, COWS or
hogs. They tell me barley fattens
hogs better than corn and makes fir
m,r meat. They feed their working
horses on barley and oats mixed.
/ was struck with the large fields
of barley nearly ready to cut When
seen in the fields it is whiter than
rye. It will be seen by close examlna-
tion that it is not so much unlike
wheat. The beard is twice as long,
and the general appearance OF the
fields is a creamy whiteness, which
seemed strange to me. The heads al
so look quite LIKE wheat, but some
times have only one grain where
wheat has three, so that the number
of grains per head run from twenty
to fifty; and, consequently, barley
production per acre is about twenty
to twenty-five bushels per acre. Bar /
ley is sOwn in the spring, about the |
fifteenth of May, just a week after
oats are sown, so that they do not get
in the way of each other in harvest |
time.
On every farm there are from twen-
ty to forty cows. Since the war some |
Of the farmers are not milking their !
cows. but are making a business of /
buying up newborn calves, and turn I
ing them in with the COWS, and at /
six or eight weeks they sell the calves
for veal, and thus they get the man
ure and save the expense of milking
and marketing the milk.
Every stable is full of horses and
every barn yard is full of manure.
Large fields of alfalfa is grown on
every farm, which is hauled direct
from the fields to the alfalfa mills,
where it is ground into chicken and
hog feed How long before Milford
will have such a mill?
A small bunch of barley may be
seen at this Office by those who are
interested.

fact that should be in mind that Samuel Gompers
son has been very endery cared for by the Democratic
administration it into power At the present
time he is chief clerk Department of Labor with
alarv of 81 500 per year Perhaps that is of the
reasons why his notorious father is such saunch Dem

eenered on the welfare of the laborng man regardless
of partisan politics. the elder GOmpers is one OF the most
steadas supporters that Mr. Wilson ever had MOI since

THERE IS A campaign of propaganda going on thru
the wilmington papers which has for its object ncreas
ing the representation of the City OF Wilmington in the
LEGISLATURE of Delaware according to population This
is an old story and the history of the aim oil All
large cities where the question has been brought up IN
state Legislatures is settled fact that the ursan
or rural sections of any State can not permit domina
ton of commemorative interests by any city or COM
bnaton of city interests The Constitutional Convention
Of Delaware in 1897 gave to Wilmington increased repre-
senation in the Senate and in the House of Representa-
tives of the Delaware Legislature which was only falr
to the people OF Wilmington Under the old system they
had not fair representation either body We believe
that we voice sentiment of the great majority oil all
the people rural Delaware when we say that here
must be no change the present plan of representation
in the legislature Wilmington until better argu-
ents and real necessities arise for the welfare OF the
people OF all of Delaware. Wilmington is only part
of the state and population at least seventyve per

Chairman Shipping Board Declares Coal Prices are
 Outrageous
(Assoeiated Prsss Leased Wi,s)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. - Aid of the Interstate Commerce Commission to obtain bunker coal for government merchant craft at reasonable prices was sought today by Chairman Ben son of the shipping board who con- ferred with Chairman Clark and Com missioners Aitchison and Potter.
 The government now is paying from SIS to S20 ton at Atlantic and gulf ports which Admiral Benson said was "outrag geous." Assignment of cars to carry coal for the ships would enable to board to cut it's coal bill at least 50 per cent, he added.
 Figuring coal at the mines at s4 ton and adding $22O a ton for trans portation and dumping charges, Chair man Benson said. "soebody must be getting the difference The problem | is serious, he declared, and not ono of supply but of price. which should he lowered for both government ant private vessels.

BIG OIL PROSPECTS
 IN SOUTH AMERICA

South America, especially Bolivia, is opening up as the promised land of oil supply. Geologists say the country is full of petroleum beds.
 The first step toward developing the region has been taken by William Braden, an American engineer, who has taken an option on 5,397,S75 acres of oil land in southeastern Bolivia. This, in addition to other oil sources in Venezuela, Peru and other sections of northern South America now in process of development, is expected to increase the importation of oil by the United States to an extent that would insure long future supply
 The United States is drawing heav- fly on imports now, although it's own fields could alone meet the de- mestic demand for from 10 to 15 years even if no new deposits were discov- cred.
 / Nearly 12,OOO,OOO gallons of gaso- line were imported during the first third of 1920, although the exports were heavier. Nevertheless. due to increased domestic production over consumption, there is a gradually in creasing reserve stock in the country

NATIONAL PARK ROAD

The master highway connecting g the principal national parks of the west will be officially opened on August 9.
 It is the longest continuous auto mobile highway in the world, stretch ing around in practically a circle for some 45OO miles. The highway will make the tour of the national parks one of the most splendid trips in the country. Heretofore there were many disconcerting factors that kept the tourists away. such as confusion in choosing the proper roads and delays through detours.

TRUNK HIGHWAYS ARE DUE,
 SAYSA. A. A. CHAIRMAN

Trunk highways, like trunk rail road lines, will be the inevitable re- suit of the in creasing use of motor vehicles by the people of the United States. This is the opinion of A. C.. Batchelder, executive chairman of the American Automobile Association.
 Already plans for an extensive cross-cOuntry road system is engaging the attention of congress, through in troduction of bill by Senator Town send of Michigan, providing for a na- tional highway system that, in his own words, would form the backbone of the main commercial arteries of the nation"
 Motor transportation his brought about the new countrywide demand for trunk highways" says Batchelder "The railroad systems must be sup plemented in various directions by the employment of the motor vehicle; where there isn't sufficient business to justify the expense of trackage, where it is a case of interoity com munlcdllOn WHICH cdllS .IOr uOOT-lO- door needs, and where extraordinary demands can be met specially and promptly.
 With some eight million motor car owners in the country, the day may not be far distant when every family will have it's own independent means of transport. Trips will be innumer- able, and since highways serve both commercial necessities and pleasura ble demands, it is assured that we shall ultimately obtain a federal sys tenn of trunk highways, supplemented by state systems connecting all parts of state, and finally the lesser trib utaries, extending into the country 1T all directions. in order that. the prod

Motor transportation is spreading so fast, the varous state highways commissions have their hands full to keep up with it, in maintaining suita- ble roads for the heavy traffic. There are already about 5000 motor truck lines recorded and in operation throughout the country, and several hundreds more uErecorded. Like the railroads in the 70's these lines prom ise to spread a network of motor high ways over the country.
