stopped his car within one length of

Licking VALLEY Courier,
Dear Gentlemen:
AS the contest for Democratic party
honors in Morgan County draws to a
close / beg to express the hope that it
leaves no fraternal wounds. Many
worthy asprants, no doubt will go
down to defeat; but the lesson of our
school days said try again"
have seen one of your distinguished
Democrats, on two occasions withdraw
himself from the arena for the sake of
party harmony. l admire the loyalty
he showed to his party; and am sure
that opponents appreciate the motive
that prompted his actions. | believe
the Democrats of this county will re-
member him and 'the bread that he
cast upon the waters will not return
unto him void"
When the result of the primary is
known I hope they will all be willing
, to bury the tomahawk and extend to
each other the right hand of fellowship
and be ready to 60 out against the
"Philistines."
Very ruly,
P. NJ. Benton.

TRUSTEES REGRET Mr..
COYNE:'S RETIREMENT
Adopt Resolutions Extolling
His Services While Member
of Workhouse Board.

Trustees Of the New Castle County
Workhouae held a meeting yesterday
afternoon at the prison and adopted
resolutions expressing their regret
nj the retirement Of William Coyne
who last week resigned as a member
of the board because the press Of
personal business prevented him from
giving as much time as he desired to
the workhouse affairs. The reso-
lutions set forth the value Of Mr.
Coyne's services during the compare
lively brief period he served on the
board and that It was the sentiment
of the other trustees that the tnsti-
tuition was losing the services Of n
very capable and efficient man
Warden Plummer stated today that
Mr.. Coyne's leaving lis very great
personal loss 20 him because Of their
close personal associations for a mum
ber of years. Mr.. Coyne's successor
has not been named by the state
Judges and 10 date there has been no
mention Of any possible candidates for
the office.
The contract for supplying the prison
with coal for next winter was not con
sidered at yesterdays meeting. This
matter probably. will be taken np at

PAYING CROPS NOW BIG
PROBLEM FOR FARMERS
Must Display More Interest in
Securing information as to
Basic Cost Factors.

One problem of production now facing
the farmer, according 10 the Extension
Service News, just issued by the nRri-
cultural department, University OF Dela-
ware. is that of growing n crop which
will nav the cost OF the labor put into
il, plus the other charges Of fertilizer,
manure. seeds. taxes, etc More interest
must bc displayed ia securing informa-
tion AS to these basic cost factors men
toned above, such as the hours Of man
and horse labor, bushels OF seed tons oi
manure and pounds Of fertilizer required,
as they huctuate much lesa than mons
costs from. wear TO year and they provide
more satisfactory data for the ANALYSIS
of farm management problems than costs
rpportcd in dollars and c0nts
Another thing TO be kept IN mind in
selecting crops for rotation and for
profit. il is pointed out, is thst Of com
petition with each other for labor Il is
shown. for instance, on general farms
in Delaware producing a large propor-
tion of their grain crops Of com and
wheat, these two enter ihto drect com
petition for labor at what seeding tlme
which followc corn cutting and plowlnp
Of tho corn stuhhle for wheat \ greater
amount OF MAN anu HtfIfst i1lpi - -
quired at this period Of the year than u
almost any other part Of the season.
Records taken from tweaty five farms
in Delaware show that II required thf''
times the manlabor 10 grow and harvest
corn in Delaware and Maryland ihan Il
takes IN the average of five western
States. The horse labor required ID thc
East does not appear to be much greater
In comparing with the average IN five
western States IN the labor require.
mentS To produce and harvest an acre 81
corn II is shown that IT costs $40 morf
per acre 10 do the same work IN thif
State. Whether the extra value Of the
corn stover, which is shocked and
stacked, over that OF the west which i
harvested and pasturcd on the standing
stalk, will make up this difference, Is
the practical question for the Delaware
farmers TO decide, the Service News
states.
