UNCLE TED'S
BEDTIME STORIES

The letter containing copy for the
Uncle Ted communication for printing
this week, reached this Office with one
"blank" sheet of paper, which should
have been the first and main part of
the weekly letter, the other sheet of
copy contained the ollowing-which
we suppose was the last part of an
interesting letter told to the young
folks, on the recent reduction in rail-
road labor salaries, and the recent re-
duction in freight rates, the result of
the new schedule which went into ef-
feet on order of the Railroad Commits
sion of Washington. The closing
part, and the only part of the letter
to reach this Office with any writing
on it, is printed as follows:
Increased traffic should come natur-
ally. 1t is interesting to note that this
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission came within a week of
the decision made by the Railroad La
Dor Board which reduces the wages
of all classes of railway employees
except those working on trains. When
Milford chronicle., 1922-06-23

summed up, these reductions mean
just this to the railroads: Their in
come through freight reductions has
been cut $24O,0OO,0 900 and their ex-
penses through the reduction of wages
have been cut only $15O,OOO,OOO. You
can see from this that there is a diff
ference of $90,O00,00O which is a loss
to the railroads and which they will
have to make up, as said before, by
more traffic and economies on other
things.
"The executives of the lines in the
Northwest say that the rate cut will
mean a decline of $50,000,000 a year
in their revenue but there is a bright
side to the situation in that part of the
country. The farmers and manufac-
turers and jobbeTs will profit greatly
by the lowered rates so that in the
end the loss in earnings feared by the
roads should be Offset by the better
ed conditions of the farmers and man.
The crops prospects in the
are fine this year and a
large crop should help bring greater
traffic and more earnings for every
body.
"The Commission naturally hoped
that these reductions would improve
business conditions in general. The
should mean more busi-
ness, more shipping and perhaps more
revenue to the roads. 1t remains to be
seen whether the reduction in freight

has been formed for Pennsylvania and
Delaware recently. Great attention is
being given to the question of pro-
Viding means for marketing the cat
tie in the form of baby beef; that is,
beef at one year of age. The farm
ers of Delaware should be interested
in this movement and, in order to en-
courage it, shall be glad to offer on
behalf of the Buck and Doe Run Val
ley Farms, the services of Hereford
bulls for breeding purposes to respon-
sible farmers, without charge, for a
period of one year. This offer applies
to one farmer in each vicinity, and if
you will be knid enough to make it
public through the columns of your
newspaper, it may help in bringing
about interest in the raising of beef
cattle, which so many of us desire.
You may be the judge Of placing the
bulls.
Government statistics show that
there are already a few sections in the
East where beef cattle are being rails
ed advantageously, but in order to
win the market in the East the local
cattle must be of the weight and age
preferred. Herefords offer the best
opportunity of attaining these, in my
opinion. In many places locally rails /
ed beef has the preference. This is
notably so in New York City, which is
the largest and most discriminating
market in this country. Figures show
that there is a difference there of
from fifty cents to one dollar hun
dred pounds on beef of the same
grade, the premium being paid on
Milford chronicle., 1922-06-23

In view of the fact that there is a
large market for beef cattle in Della
ware, and especially in Wilmington,
there is an organized effort being
made by growers of Hereford Cattle,
to have the breed produced in large
numbers, so as to make a market not
only for Delaware markets, but to
help supply the always unsupplied de-
mand for the best grades of beef cat
tie in Philadelphia.
This question of growing cattle as
a business to take the place of ami
mails which are now brought from the
western part of the United States, to
supply even the meat markets of Mil
ford and rural Delaware, has been
commented upon several times in the
columns of the Milford Chronicle. AS
a result of this comment the cOmmun-
icatiOn printed below was last week
received from Macmillan Hopes,
Treasurer of the Buck & Doe Run
Valley Farms, where purebred Here
fords are a specialty-their post Office
address being, "P. o. Box 831, Will
mington, Delaware"
The free use of thoroughbred bull
of the Hereford breed is offered to all
growers and farmers, for one year
in each community or section where
it will be located. This is a splendid
opportunity to get started in growing
large beef cattle, which will bring
greater cash returns to the farmer
than other breeds of cattle.
One of the main features, is the
marketing of the young stock in the
form of "baby beef" at one year old, !

that killed nearby.
"Since we therefore have the mar
ket, a preference for locally killed
beef, and natural advantages for COM
peting economically with the West, it
seems that we should take full ad-
vantage of these facts and begin baby
beef raising seriously. AS I said be-
fore, movements are now on to pro-
vide for cooperative shipping and
selling, and these will be. perfected
and made more and more efficient as
beef raising increases. Certainly
there is no phase of farming in the
East that holds out better rewards
than a well laid out and persistent
program of beef raising.

Treasurer"
If the Milford Grange, or any other
grange organization with an active de-
sire to better the general conditions
of farmers generally, will take I'D this
proposition, we will be glad to assist
them to bring about the practical
working of the enterprise. Appoint
some man like Major w. e. Lank, DR..
Evans G. Roberts, or any other ener-
getic person in the vicinity of Milford
to take the matter up with Mr.. Max
MILAN Hopes, Treasurer Of the COM
pany in Wilmington direct; or to act
with the Milford Chronicle in the eff
fort, and it will be solved for this vi
cinity. Then Rehoboth Grange, or
Henlopen Grange at Lewes, can make
splendid success of this work, by ap-
pointing an active person to write di-
rect, or work with other oranges or
organizations Of farmers to get the
use of the thoroughbred bulls for one
year-absolutely free of cost, other
than the care and feed of the animal.
Anything that is helpful and benef-
cial to all the people, certainly is the
right thing for any person to work
and bring about.
The Milford Chronicle will render
all the support possible in publicity
for this effort to get better beef cattle
started in Delaware, by growing a
large breed of cattle, to supply the
great demand, which now has to go to
the west to get supplies of beef for
even our own local people. Let's stop

iversity and the public schools in our
State. Those friendly relations have
been reflected in many ways, much to
the delight Of friends of higher educa-
tion. There was noteworthy evidence
of it, for instance, at the annual meet
ing Of the Alumni Association of the
Newark High School on Saturday
night. That organization voted a $1OO
scholarship at the University of Della
ware to that Newark High School
senior, boy or girl, who has made the
best showing during the four years
that will close in June, 1928. In ad-
dition, the Alumni Association decid-
ed to get behind the $175,000 bond is
sue which will defray part of the ex-
pense of providing for Newark a new
high school building, which, in natur-
al course, will serve as a feeder for
the University of Delaware.
Wouldn't it be fine thing for the
public and for the university if each
alumni association of each high school
in Delaware would establish such a
scholarship?
Wouldn't it be a fine thing to slim
ulate high school student activity and
efficiency?
The Newark Alumni Association has
set the pace. 1t should be taken up at
once by the associations of the other
schools.

If there be one thing above all
others that the University of Delaware
needs and should have, it is ardent
home support.
There is no man or woman who is
in such strtitened circumstances that
he or she cannot do something of a
beneficial nature for DelaWare's chief
educational institution.
1t needs something more than mon
ey. 1t needs public goodwill and good
wishesAthe spoken word of apprecia-
tiOn, here, there and everywhere,
from Claymont> on the north to Selby-
vile on the south and from the Della
ware river and bay on the east to the
Maryland State line on the west.
1t needs Delaware boys and Della
ware girls in eVer-increasing num-
bers.
1t needs liberal treatment at the
hands of the Delaware Legislature
that it may carry out its benefcent
enterprises.
1t needs an atmosphere surcharged
with public sympathy and helpfulness.
If DR.. Walter Hullihen, the presi-
dent, is to handle the administrative
affairs of the university successfully,
he must have that atmosphere, and if
Arthur G. Wilkinson, the business ad-
ministrator, is to handle the financial
affairs successfully, he, too, must have
it. Without it, they cannot be expected
to produce the results they are cap
able of producing and which they
should have an opportunity to pro-
duce.

when the animal is then as large-if
proper attention has been given in its
food and care, as the scrub class of
cattle now grown, ever reach after
years of feeding.
So that all may understand just
what the proposal means-and it is
made without any strings to it for the
benefit of the farmers, who want to
get more money from their farms by
the production of cattle, we print Mr..
Hopes letter addressed to the Editor
of the Milford Chronicle, in full. It is
direct from the Delaware Land & De-
Velopment Company, who are making
a philanthropic effort to help farmers
by getting them to improve their stock
by using thoroughbred bulls, to pro-
duce cattle which can be turned into
beef at one year Old-instead of keep
ing the animal for three or more years
and then marketing it at weight no
greater than the thoroughbred animal
is at one year. The letter follows:
Wilmington, Delaware.
"June IA, 1922.
Editor, Milford Chronicle,
milford, Del.
"Sir:-
"Your recent editorial on the raising
of beef cattle brings to the fore a
question that ought to be of great i'm
portance to our farmers of Delaware,
and also to farmers generally in the
Eastern States. For many years there
has been a growing conviction that
the raising of beef cattle in this part
of the country, properly stimulated
and directed, would give the most sat
isfactory returns. Over two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars are annu-
ally spent for western beef in the
Eastern States, and this in view of the
fact that specialists show us that cat
tie can be raised in many parts of
this section of the country as cheaply
per acre as in the West. Studies made
of the question within the past few
years also show that there are many
regions where the raising of beef cat
tie will fit better into the economical
management Of the farm than dairy
cattle, and that by following a well
laid out plan, satisfactory returns can
be had in few years.
"At the present time there is in
creased activity among Hereford cat
tie men. Associations for the stimula-
tion Of this class of beef cattle al |
ready established in the East are more |
active than ever; new association

In the larger body he felt the masses would re- ceive better representation.

 At a recent meeting Of the charter revision committee, Councilman D. l. Nair expressed himself as personally in favor of reducing the number oi councilmen.
 Lawyer Elias T. Ringrose. a fifth ward councilman, expressed himself as favoring the idea and announced that he is willing to relinquish his seat to see the change made possible.
 Councilman Howard $. Hart of the first ward heartily endorses the move, lie asserted. He favored such a change when the charter revision committee was holding sessions last year.
 Councilman Maxwell s. Porter thought the idea a good one. He is one of the third ward members.
 Councilman F. s. Caldwell, also from the third ward, thought such a movement would be in the direction of improvement. but felt the best change would be in the form of adopting the city manager plan.
  the third ward favored a reduction in the municipal strength Of the govern ing body.
 The transaction Of more business 7 in less time was one of the benefits that would accrue in the adoption of the new plan, Councilman c. Adrian Carlson of the fourth ward felt. He favors its adoption.
 A board of aldermen would be the substitute favored by Alderman George H. Wells of the fifth ward. He has been consistent advocate of smaller council for several years. He finds that in committee work more is accomplished with smaller num- bers and he feels the same would hold true of the council.
 Expressing a belief that half the members of the council are nearly asleep before council meetings are over. Alderman Peter J. Pajewski of the fifth ward favored a reduction since it would tend to bring about the transaction of more business with less talk and waste of time.
 Cut down the number of courril members and you'll find that the men will knuckle down to business bet. ter" Councilman Walter Falk of the second ward advised.
