FARMERS RICHEST SAYS SILVER
Gray Silver Addresses New Castle
Farm Bureau, Gives Hopeful Outlook

Gray Silver Addresses New Castle
Farm Bureau, Gives Hopeful Outlook
Several hundred farmers turned out
at Augustine Beach Thursday. Aug.
10th for the Annual picnic of the New
Castle County Farm Bureau. The
main feature of the program was an
address by Gray Silver who heads the
Legislative Department of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation. In his
address he stated that what the farm
ers needed was voice in legislation
and to meet this need they had found
the American Farm Bureau. Some of
the bills which have been passed by
Congress are the Capper Volstead Bill
which legalizes the cooperative mar
keting of farm products, the Packer
Bill which gave the live stock pro-
ducers the right to look into the
methods of marketing live stock. This
bill alone has saved the live stock pro-
ducers of the country over eighty
times the cost of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. 1t took two years
and four months to get the Inter-
mediate Credits and Warehouse Bill
thru Congress. This bill makes it
possible for the cotton, tobacco and
wheat growers to store their products
in warehouses and to borrow money
on their products by means of ware
house receipts with a reasonable rate
of interest (51afO. Before this bill,
the rate had ranged from to u per
cent. with the banker, merchant, fer
tilizer dealer or anyone who held their
notes having the privilege of closing
in on the farmer at any time and
forcing his products upon the mar
ket. In summing up his speech, Gray
Silver stated that the farmers are the
richest people in the world in valua-
tion of property, totaling over eighty
| 800 billion dollars, the railroads are
| second with twenty (20) billion but
the farmers are far from the rich
est in income because they are not as
thoroughly organized as other indus
tries and do not follow their organiza-
tions nearly as well. Dean McCue
spoke of the conditions of the Della
ware farmers as being better in a
way because of the tractor, automO-
bile and shorter hours on the farms
Mr.. John D. Reynolds, of Middletowr
gave a short talk on the benefits Of
the feed pool and Mr. Roland c
Handy of the Delaware Branch of the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange
outlined the pool plan and reported {
total of $4,000 tons ordered thru the
Exchange and that Delaware showed
a total of 5000 tons. To move this
feed to Delaware points it will require
a train load of thirty 500 to fort!
(4O). cars each month from Septem
Der to February inclusive. At th'
meeting of the Executive Committee
of the State Farm Bureau the follow
ing men were appointed as represen
tatives to the National Dairy Congress
at Washington, October End, Philadel

BIRD SONGS ON THE PIANO
Interesting Experiments Conducted by
Eastern Woman Give Rise to I'M
mense Possibilities.

Bird songs may become basic themes
for more music than folk songs. This
IS the prediction of Mrs. H. H. A.
Beach, composer who has been max.
ing experiments along this line at
Peterborough, N. H. Mrs. Beach's
explanation of her theory and her ex.
periments is unique and interesting.
MY studio at Peterborough was
surrounded on three sides by beautiful
birch trees, the front facing a wide
view Of the valley and mountains. In
the deep woods nearby the hermit
thrushes sang all day long, so close to
me that l could nOtate their songs and
even amuse myself by initiating them
on the piano and having them answer.
sThe songs were so very lovely and sc
cOnsOnant with our scales that l
could weave them into piano pieces as
easily as 1 could have used folk songs.
It was a labor of love, indeed, and
only hope that have succeeded in CIV
ing at least slight impression Of their
exquisite rhythm and melodic beauty"
If bird song can be Incorporated
successfully into plano music thus,
there is an infinite field of beauty and
variety from which the themes may
be drawn. 1t is to be hoped that Mrs.
Beach and her fellOw-artists will 60 on
with their work. Jazz will never en-
tirely rule the musical universe while
this sort Of delicate artistry is being
carried On.-FrOm the Brockton

NEW PORT DEPOSIT RAILROAD

to Include Two Bridges

to Include Two Bridges
The Susquehanna Power Company,
which proposes to construct a dam
across the Susquehanna river near
ConOwingO, Nd, is preparing to re-
build Is miles of railroad track OPP
Grated by the Columbia 'and Port De-
posit Railroad, a branch of the Penn
sylvania system. The company re-
Gently had engineers visit this terri
tory to obtain estimates of the con-
struction of the new road. The work
will present a difficult engineering
problem. Almost the entire Is miles
must be blasted out of solid rock. In
addition to the bed for the relocation
of the road, at least two bridges
about 500 feet long will be built.
Building the new track and removing
the old track to the new bed will cost
more than $3,0OO,O0O. The plan is to
begin at Port Deposit and work north
ward to about Haines, Pa. This, it is
said, will elevate the track at its
highest point to 40 feet above the old
roadbed and will put it beyond danger
point of being flooded by the back
water when the proposed dam is con-
structed.

"Comenius. that great educator of

uoEs AWAY WITH THE HISS
Recent Invention Also Captures Har-
4 mopifs Which Hitherto Have
3sen Completely Lost.

4 new USE has been found for the
remarkable device which photographs
sound ON motion picture film and then
reproduces the sound from the film.
&c. A. Hoxie, the Inventor, has now
devised pickup or microphone. using
the principle Of the pallophotophone
reproducer.
The mlcrophone is the link between
the artist or instrument in the studio
and the electrical circuit; 1t converts
or transforms the variations Of tone
into corresponding variations Of cur
rent. Micr0phones now In general use
are constructed on the principle Of the
telephone transmitter in which the
compression or expansion OF granular
carbon Affects the electric current.
In the pnllophotophone pickup n
very sensitive diaphragm Is set vibrat-
Ing by sound The movement Of the
diaphragm Is communicated to Il mir
ror three slxty-fourths of an incl;
square A strong light strikes the
dancing mirror. which reflects the light
variation in the beam of light, caused
by the vibration OF the mirror, varies
the effect on the light cell and thus
produces corresponding variation in
the electric circuit Ampltication is
then obtained In the ordinary way by
means Of pllotrans.
= The new pickup eliminates the hiss
which accompanies the use of the Ordi-
nary microphone; 1t is more sensitive
and responds more readily and accu-
rately to sound waves. capturing har-
monies which would ordinarily be lost.

New York's zoo seems to he the
first one to get cow for exhibition

COW was presented by the Dairymen's
league.
So, now, no longer will city children
entertain vague idea that milk as
they know 1t originates somehow In a
bottle or a tin can. The American
animal that generates milk will be
right before their eyes. and. no doubt,
at fixed times Of day she will be
MIXED in the presence of large and
deeply Interested Juvenile audiences.
In st. Louis 1t was found that there
We're large numbers OF children that
had never seen sheep, a somewhat
smaller number that. had never behehl
pig. and a very considerable per-
centage to whom COW was only ia
picture.
A cow Is. of course. as appropriate
in a ZOO as a bear. and ours. like
