Will Inquire into Cost
of Macadamizing

Surfacing of principal streets in
Grangeville has been so successfui

low expenditure, compared with estl-
mates of the cost of the work, that
city officials, members of the Com
mercial club and taxpayers are CIV

ment program to cover practically all
streets in the city.
Double Work at One Cost
By expenditure of proceeds of the
S15. 900 bond issue for surfacing
GrangevilIe streets, the city has been
able. through efficient management by
10. It. Lingo, superintendent of con
struction, to surface twice the mum

Want North and South Highway
Routed Through Business District

would pass through the business
section of Grangeville, and leave
town by way of State street.
Mr.. Oxley said that, If it is the
unanimous sentiment of the peO-
pie of Grangeville that the route
be changed, officials would see
what could be done about adopt
ing the new route. The federal
government, however, makes the
final decision on the route to be
followed by federal aid highways,
and if change is made, it must
be authorized by the federal au-
thorities.
Mr.. Oxley explained that, in
leaving town by the State street
route, it would be necessary to
construct IL miles more road
than by leaving at the old brew
cry. Besides the additional mile
age, the obstacle of a railroad
crossing would be encountered
which 1t would be necessary to
overcome.

Grape Growers
Hope to Organize

Grape growers of Delaware, after
several attempts, are on the way to
stlll better success by forming an or
ganization. Through the activity of
tarm agents and ambitious grape
growers, there are several farmers of
Kent county who favor such an or
ganlzation and within the next few
weeks the idea may be put into ex-
ecution
The idea back of the organization of
Grape Growers Association is to
promote the selling end of the grape
business. 1t has been suggested that
the association when formed, should
employ Delaware man who is ex-
perlenced in the commission business
10 act as sales agent for the assOcia-
llon. This sales agent would be super
Vlsed and checked up by a committee
OF three members of the association,
whose duties would be to keep close
Watch ON grape prices and see that
thelr agent was getting the most for
thelr product. The agent and commit
lee would receive the cooperation of
the Bureau of Markets, of Dover and
with such a combination better prices
and more advantageous sales for Del
aware grapes, it is believed, would be
obtained.
AT the present time there are 1900 |
acres planted in grapes in Kent coun-
" which appears to be the center for
grape growing. Of this acreage 700
lcres bore fruit last year. Some of the
Milford chronicle., 1924-06-13

remaining acres will be added to this
total this year. 1t requires three
years for a grape vine to bear after it
is planted.
Last season grapes brought a. very
fair return for the money and work
invested The year before they did
still better, but like every other kind
of fruit and produce there is no as
surance as to what prices they will
bring nor how large the crop may be.
Then there are the pests and prob
lens that confront every grape grow
er to be considered that may cause
the crop to be a loss.

Markets is working in close cooper

asking his resignation were hardly
warranted by the facts" The letter

products in this country the industry
has expanded to the point where gross
domestic production in terms of whole
milk slightly exceeds gross domestic
consumption, the survey says Al
though 100000 pounds net of but
ter and 64,000,000 pounds of cheese
were imported during 1923 stocks of
condensed milk and other products
more than equivalent to these imports
were piled up in this country. Judging
from the number of COWS on farms
there will be further increase in do
nestle production in 1924. Foreign
surplus production likewise is steadily
increasing This competition, coupled
with the already heavy production in
this country and the possibility that
consumer demand may not be indeh-
nitely maintained at levels predicated
upon great industrial prosperity, sug-
gests the necessity for conservatism as
to further expansion in dairy produc-
ton, the department OF agriculture
warns.
Labor, machinery and fertilizer sup
plies seem to be sufficient to meet the
demands of farmers for the present
year, the survey concludes. In all parts
of the country wages OF farm labor
were higher in 1923 than in either 1921
or 1922, and at the present are slightly
higher than year ago. The average
wages per month without board in
1928 was $47, which compares with
SAP in 1922, $43 i'll 1921 and $50 for
the pre-war year, 1918 Many farmers
have decided that it will be better to
rearrange the farming program SO as
to reduce hired help to a minimum,
and the demand for labor is consider
ably less than last year
Prices of Fertilizers.
Fertilizer prices were more nearly
in line with pre-war prices in both
1922 and 1923 than either the wages
of farm labor or the prices of most
farm machines, it is stated in the re-
port. For the country as a whole an
acre of crops would purchase about
90 per cent as much fertilizer in 1922
as in 1914. The replies to an inquiry
of February IS, sent to several thous-
and farmers in the south, show an in
tention to use a somewhat greater
amount of fertilizer than was used in
1928.

Forty billion cups Of coffee, requir-
ing 1,O00000,O00 pounds of coffee
beans and 4O,O00,000,000 ounces of
cream-the equivalent of l2,500,000,000
pounds of milk or one-eighth of the
total production of the country-are
consumed annually in the United
States. it is estimated Approximately
Fl 0O0O00OO0 cups of tea, requiring
85,000000 pounds Of tea leaves and TO-
100000 ounces Of cream, make up
the tea consumption.
In addition to their heavy depend

added, the coffee and tea drinkers also
consume in their beverages 800,000,000
pounds of sugar year, or one-tenth
of the quantity consumed for all pur-
poses in the United States.
