KENT FARMERS THREATEN TO
STOP GROWING WHEAT At LOSS
RECEIVING $1.OO BUSHEL WHEN
THEY SHOULD BE GETTING S1.5O
Many are Beginning to Feel They Can.
Use Their Land In Cultivation of
Other Crops More Profitable

Kent county farmers were greatly
retarded in their wheat threshing dur
ing the past week by rain. The wealth
er situation combined with the labor
shortage is making harvest time
worrying period for the average farm
er. The trouble will not end with the
threshing, however, because when the
farmer offers his wheat for sale, he
will be given an average of ninety
seven cents per bushel for it and when
he checks up on his crop, he will find
that the operation of raising wheat
has caused him a large loss. While
some farmers may hold their wheat
for higher prices, the average farmer
can not do this as he needs the money
to settle his debts. In many instances
the borrowing capacity of the farm
ers has become exhausted. That some
Of the farmers will stop growing
wheat is indicated by their investiga-
ton of other crops grown on the
Peninsula. The vegetable crops rails
ed on the lower part of the Eastern
Shore have been attracting attention
in this county. For the past two years
several Kent county farmers made a
speciality of raising potatoes and
found it very profitable. That inter
est in this direction is increasing is
shown from a recent visit of a group
of local farmers to the Virginia po-
tato section where a study of meth

growers are also experiencing some
trouble with the help situation. They
are finding a shortage Of experienced
help and are using beginners. This
is causing them some trouble as the
newcomers in some instances picked
the trees too close for the early fruit
with the result that a large amount
of understood fruit was refused at the
packing houses and shipping points.

DAIRY FARMING DOWN STATE
One Hundred and Three Farmers Con-
tract to Sell Milk Through Association

As a result of the farm manage
ment survey of the -Rehoboth
and Nassau communities, taken last
December by the Extension Depart
ment of the University of Delaware,
much interest has been aroused by the
farmers in the eastern part of Sus-
sex county in dairying. Six commun-
ity meetings have been held recently
by County Agent MollOy C. Vaughn
of Sussex county as well as some COM
mittee meetings with the Interstate
Milk Producers Association of Phil
adelphia. One hundred and three
farmers have joined the association
and signed contracts to sell their milk
through the association from ATS COWS
which they propose to maintain. A.
ID. Allebach, president of the Inter
state Milk Producers Association, ex-
presses the belief that with this num-
Der of members he will not have any
trouble in getting one of the Philadel-
phia milk dealers to open up a re-
ceiving and cooling station at some
point centrally located in the Lewes
territory. Farmers in the eastern
part of the county are very much en-
Unused over the possibilities of get
ting an outlet for milk from that sec
ton, and a drive for additional MEM
bers is still under way with the hope
that it will reach five hundred farm
ers. If the plans now under way ma
terialize as they are expected to do,
Sussex county within a few months is
going to be one of the leading dairy
sections on the Delmarvia Peninsula.
