Kent County Pomona Grange held
its annual spring meeting in Felton's
commodiOus and attractive Grange
Hall, Thursday, April 9Th. Miss Cow,
of Trophy Grange, welcomed the Wis
iting Changers in few happily chos-
en- words-the address being respond
ed to by Mr.. Clements, of Capital
Grange. After reports of the several
Oranges were given and the Usual rOu-
tine business was transacted, the
members were invited to the dining
room where all sorts of good things
to eat were served.
During the afternoon session, COun-
ty Agent Wilson talked on subjects of
interest to the county, and former
Agent Pence gave his views on some
of the farmers problems and the way
out. Miss Katharine Wood Kent
County Extension Worker, gave an
interesting talk to the sisters on
Home Economics, giving them valu
able hints and showing the relation
ship that exists between education,
usefulness and happiness. Interspers-
ed with the days proceedings was
music by Capital and Milford Oranges
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
A vote of thanks was extended to TrO-
ply Grange for its hospitality. Mil
ford Grange, as usual, was well repre-
sented at the meeting. The committee
on resolutions presented the following
resolutions, which, after lively discus
sions were adopted by the Pomona
Grange:
Of
bers devoted to special interests, have
long been known to exist in the Unit
ed States Senate, it was only when
such a group was found to favor fair
play to agriculture that it was de-
nounced as a bloc.
And Whereas, The agricultural IN
terests do not seek any unfair advan-
tage in legislation or otherwise, but
need in Congress, especially the Sen
ate, Representative who will stand
at all times for giving agriculture the
same recognition and protection that
is accorded, any other interest.
And Whereas, the Eastern States,
though as deeply interested as the
West and the South, has no Senator
in Congress who seems to recognize
the needs at this time of the farmers
and who has the courage to fight for
their rights.
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved,
That we favor sending to Congress
Senators who know the needs of agri-
culture as well as other interests and
who have the courage to fight for fair
play to farmers so that all interests
in Delaware may be represented.
Be 1t Resolved, That we believe the
detection of violatOrs of Automobile
light law should be the work of the
Highway Police, and, further the en-
plOyment of two officers at an linnec-
essary expense with the attendant eX-
pense of the omnipresent automobile
that has grown to be a prequesite to
any one rendering the State any SER
vice is useless waste of public money,
the best answer to which can be given
in November.
Whereas, The dearth of Potash dur
ing the war has depleated the soil of
this essential element of plant food
And Whereas, There is an abundant
supply in Alsace Lorraine now prOvi-
ience of France, which nation is anX-
ous to pay its Indebtedness 10 us.
therefore, be II h6SOlN6u, IL udL JuS 4
proposed prohibitive duty of twenty
Five Dollars per ton is a colossal and /.
mprudent effort to serve special in
terests to the detriment of agricul-
.ural and the national treasury.
Whereas, There are so many sources /
Of fertilizer ingredients that have no .
agricultural value.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That we
'avor branding fertilizer bags with
he source from which the plant food
S derived.
Whereas, One of the most serious
langers that threatens this country is
he growing feeling that laws are not
worthy of respect and obedience, and
Whereas, The efforts that are being
made by many of our daily papers to
'idicule and cast discredit upon the
prohibition law are having a serious
fleet upon the morals of our coun-
ry.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That it is
,ur duty as good citizens and patrons
# husbandry to inculcate in all ways
aspect and obedience for law and
uthority and to use all of our int1u-
noes to counteract the wet prOpagan-
la of the lawless class.
