In terrific pain all the time; 1 could

down as / could not get my breath;
not only walked the floor but
walked the streets at night, and was
so weak the cold sweat would roll
down my face. My daughter had
heard so much about your Plant
Juice that she got a bottle for me.

FARM LOSSES
REACH MILLIONS
Total For State Put at
$6,5OO,OOO by Agricultural
Board Secretary
HIGH FREIGHT RATES
ROUNDLY SCORED

According to estimates by a num-
Der Of well known farmers. the loss
from the drought of last week in
Delaware may total $4,000, 900.
Although this figure is considered
high by many, few doubts are ex-
pressed but that the amount viii be
fully half the sum named.
According to Professor Wesley
Webb, secretary Of the State Board
of Agriculture. there will be a S3.-
100000 loss on fruits. $500, 900
loss on wheat. S1.0OO.OOO loss on to-
matoes, and $1.OOO,OOO loss on po-
tatoes To these losses must be
added the great deficiency expected
in corn, and berry loss. grapes and
general shortage OF all kinds.
Coupled with these losses, not a
cannery in tho state will open its
doors this season, with the excep-
tion of three small ones on limited
acreage. in Blackbird. Smyrna and
Dover. AS a result there will be
no work for pickers. drivers. basket
and package makers.
In New Castle county, the farm
er's outlook while not encouraging,
is not shorn OF all hope. The farm
er here is retrenching. ourtailing ex-
| penses, and while he will receive lit
tie. If anything. for his labor, he
/ will probably earn a subsistent in
come.
1t is asserted there have been
more foreclosures OF farm mortgages
in Kent county Of late than ever be-
fore in the country's history.
The hot weather killed tomatoes
damaged ,rheat and affected other
vegetables. while the hail which fell
some weeks ago killed much of the
fruit There are particularly no
fruits except a few apples. There
may be a few peaches, it is said, but
the number will be nothing com
pared to normal years.
Though the farmers do not say sa
it is reported that a considerable
number of them suffered heavy losses
by holding their products Some
it is asserted, held out for high
prices on their potatoes of last sea
son. and were compelled to sell
them at a very low figure or give
them away. other grangers also are
said refused to sell their wheat for
as high as s2.S0 a bushel, and are
still holding il, although the price
now Is much below that figure.
On top of these losses came the
losses due to the drought.
Condemnation of excessive railway
freight charges was voiced in nc
unmistakable manner at a special
meeting of the New Castle Farm
Bureau. Saturday in the United States
Engineer Building. The report OF
the proceedings will be forwarded
verbatum TO the meetings which be
gan today in Washington Of th'
joint commission of agricultural in
quiry appointed by Congress to in
vestigate the cause of the presen
instability of the farming industry
Reports giving a general summar,
of the situation were read by Lee
Hoffecker, OF Bear; ]. D. Reynolds
OF Townsend; ]. T. Shallcross, o.
Middletown, and II. G. Milliken, oi
Porter. In the opinion of the speak
ers, freight rates were In the great
est measure responsible for most o.
the difficulties confronting the far
mer today Only the credit extended
by and the liberal attitude of loca
banks, they declared, had enabled
farmers TO tide over the crisis.

uncle Harry, what is THIS marine
shipping problem that I see men
toned in the news almost every
day? ?" asked Jimmy. "Have we too
many ships or not enough ?"
''Wen. It certainly is not the prob
lem of not enough ships" replied
Uncle Harry "As a matter Of fact,
under present-day conditions. we
have more American ships than we
know what to do with"
What do you mean when you
say 'present-day' conditioner" asked
Joe.
II refer to the comparatively small
amount Of foreign trade" said Uncle
Harry LAS you know, our coun-
try has been going through an in
dustrial depression for several
months. and that means that the
United States is not manufacturing
for expert anything like a normal
amount of goods On the other
hand. the leading manufacturing
countries Of Europe-notably Eng
land and Germany-are stin suffer-
ing from the effects OF the War, and
strikes and other industrial disor-
dors.
Surplus OF War-Built Ships.
'The general result is that the
nations of the world are not raising
or manufacturing food supplies or
articles in the large quantities that
they were before the war. In strik-
ing contrast with these facts, our
country finds itself with more ships
than we have ever had. In other
words, the United States Is we'll sup
piled with vessels in which to larry
on a very extensive foreign trade,
but the trade itself doesn't exist
''Of this greatly increased num-
ber OF American ships several hun
dred are owned by the United States
Government These vessels were
! constructed during the war in gov
ernment shipyards OF in private
! yards for the Government While
many OF the ships we're used in
transporting troops and war supplies
MANY of them were not finished until
after the war ended. You see, no
one know when the war would stop
and our government was compelled
10 go on planning and building ships
as fast as possible in order that we
might be prepared to ship more and
more soldiers to Europe and greater
and greater quantities of supplies.
'eWhen peace came, and after
peace came the worldwide business
and industrial depression with the
result that Uncle Sam finds that he
has on his hands hundreds OF ships
Trying 20 Solve the Problem
"A number Of plans have beer
suggested for solving this problem
but none of them has as yet proved
satisfactory.
ITO keep the ships in good repair
is costing millions Of dollars ever1
year. If they are sold, they viii
not bring the prices that It cost L
construct them because they weri
built or contracted for during thu
period when wartime prices wer'
in effect. Some people want th'
