The real dirt farmer regrets that
tendency. This country raises a sur
plus of farm products in most lines
The farmers prosperity, therefore, is
dependent largely on export demand.
The fewer workers engaged and the
lower production tend to stabilize
prices, and much of the gambling ell
ement is being removed from farm
operations.
Economists agree that a large pro-
portion of the suffering which the
farmers have undergone since 1920
has been due to inflated values of
farm lands. While values of those
lands now are rising, there is an alb
sence of imitation, which augurs well
for farm prosperity throughout this
year.
There is no doubt that the tide
which was sweeping millions of far
mers to the city has passed it's flood. |

their government, financial houses in
France, England and Germany, are

but of no political advantage to the

mineral may favorably influence the
American government in order to OBJ

STATES FIGHT FOR THEIR
RIGHTS

Among other forms of tax reduc-
ton, there is a strong movement for
repeal Of all federal estate and in
heritance taxes on the ground that
the states need all the revenue
which they yield.
A tax on capital or estates is only
justified by the necessities of war
and in times of peace should be
abolished as rapidly as possible.
The states are fighting for their
existence and their political rights
on the subject of taxation as con-
ceived by the founders of our gov
ernment.
This was shown in the refusal to
give Congress power to enact labor
laws and allow the states to provide
protection for children
and families in this field.
The movement of the states to as
sert their rights against double tax
alton in any form is a protest against
all new federal powers Of taxation.
In asserting their rights in this mat
.er in peace times, the states are
,nly saying that accumulated capital
hall not be dissipated and scattered
" federal interference.
By the same token, the states are
Webster's dictum that "the
9ower to tax is the power to de-
troy" and unless a check is placed
lpon Congress and the bureaus
which it creates, the state govern
nents will be reduced to unimport-

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The increase in the value of farm
products has not promoted any
movement "back to the farms" That
fact became evident on receipt of
dispatches from bankers and farm
loan men all over the United States.
According to the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards, optimism
has manifested itself among farmers.
Sales of farm lands have been fire.
quent, but these have been sales not
to city dwellers, but to farmers who
have seen a chance to improve their
basis of output at a reasonable cost.
Eighty-fve per cent of the farm
communities report sales of farm
property more active. But these sales
have not represented injection of
new capital, nor do they represent
speculation, as they did in 1920.
Prices in the older farm regions
have not shown material advance.
This is a most encouraging report
for the farmers, and, since the farm
buying power of the nation is ma
jor factor in industrial activity, for
the remainder of the American pop
ulation as we'll. Reports show that
about so per cent Of the bankers in
farm communities are favorably in
clined toward increased farm loans.
That attitude, however, is taken with
a string attached Bankers are in
sisting strenuously on variation of
crops. They demand that the farmer
to whom they loan money shall raise
a sufficient amount of foodstulfs to
supply himself and his family with
out recourse to outside markets.
There is no doubt that the farm
er's dollar is bigger and rounder
than it has been in some years, but
the value of that dollar for the pur-
chase of entertainment still is less
than that of the city dweller, despite
the improvement and popularity of
radio broadcasting. Translated into
industrial movement, that means
that the ordinary unskilled wage
Garner would rather work for 40
cents an hour, or less, in the larger
centers, where he and his family
can go to the movies, have free en-
tertainment, than to work on the
farm, where the net returns for his
labor may be higher, but where the
for spending that re-
turn enjoyably is less.

NEW CENTURY CLUB

The regular weekly session of the
club was called to order on Monday
afternoon by Mrs. R. c. Hall. After
the reading of the minutes by Mrs.
Robert Griffith and the disposal of
some minor business, the meeting
was turned into a delightful sewing
party, members having been previ-
ously notified to bring their work
with them. While some diligently
piled the needle others graciously
entertained them with music, poetry
and guessing games. Mrs. J. L. Pratt
read paper prepared by herself on
Food Values" which showed care
full thought and research work.
Miss Marguerite Locates in a very
pleasing manner rendered a piano
solo, "Revreie," by Wettach. Mrs.
Wesley Heebner, with Miss Edna
Barker, at the piano, sang the beau
tiful serenade, with the Breath of
Roses" by Harvey Hale Pike.
Mrs. Thomas Davis read "The
of the Club" in verse, writ
ten in a rather whimsical and hui
morous mood by Mrs. Frank Rick
ards.
Mrs. E. J. Lewis read the 'Mak-
ings of Man"
The club hostess, Mrs. o. D. Ack-
erman and her assistants, served !
hot tea and an abundance of delic- |
ious sandwiches.

founded and splendidly-noused work
in Laurel, he should have a full and
binding understanding relative to
what his working tools are to be at

ministration, this reformatory for

ed and equipped, the big reputation
he has built up in Laurel as an ed
ucator soon will be wrecked, and he
will have someone at this end of the

just as someone now is endeavoring

PRICE FIXING by government
regulation was an utter failure from
the farmers standpoint, as absurd as
fixing a uniform leg or waist meas
ure for farmers pants. Preferential
farm loans in a country protesting
equality, are doubtful blessings. The
theory that "He who steals for you
will also steal from you," bobs up
every time any man gets a special !
favor. What the farmer most wants
is industrial peace, there is no war
in his own field-the wars are car
ried on somewhere else, and he is
the goat. Political nostrums without
count have been proposed for farm
relief by self-appointed expert
Noseses without any real farm man
date; mostly they were mere clever
tries for public notoriety or public
Jobs.
That does not say the farmer is
not interested in good legislation, on
he contrary, no one is more vitality ;
He needs better distribu- I
ion, but so, too, do the people who {
must eat farm products. He needs to
Know more about the advantages of /
diversified farming. Also he needs to
lpply more business-like methods to {
many farm operations. He is learn I

TO THOSE WHO KNOW Delaware
in the spring time the following
lines from the pen of George Carter,
who is editor of the Evening Journal,
in Wilmington, will recall to their
mind, a picture of beauty such as
few states in this or other countries,
produce in landscape effect. Here is
what George Carter says about this
nature study picture and every word
Of it is as true as gospel.
Between now and the post-frost
period, Jack Frost will be accused of
manifold crimes against growing
crops by down-Peninsula correspon-
dents. But, after all, it is a wise Del
marvia farmer and fruit grower who
figures up his profits in the Fall ra-
ther than in the Spring, because,
with Dame Nature, market conditions !
and middlemen to contend with, he |
has to run a gauntlet which would
dismay anyone except a man or a
woman welded deeply to the soil.

Making Money
Making Family Provisions

HHlS is addressed to the man who
gives so much of his time to max
ing money that he often forgets what
he is making it for. The accumu,ating of
money may not be providing for the future
of family.
A man has not made proper provision
for his family until he looks beyond his
own life and takes measures for the pro-
lection of those he may leave behind.
Otherwise, his property may be distrib-
uted to such persons and in such pro-
portions as would have been entirely con-
trary to his wishes, and under such diff
eulties as may cause loss to the estate.
Who will receive the property which
you leave : Are you willing to let that
be determined by the law of the State,
and permit the expense and sacrifice often
caused by the inAexibility of the law
Suppose your wife is inexperienced in
business affairs. would you be willing to
leave her or burden her with the invest
ment of funds upon which your family's
whole future might depend
