PRICE OF CORN HUSEING HITS
MIDDLETOWN FARMERS HARD
CORN GROWERS OVER IN NEW
CASTLE PAYING 12c PER BUSHEL
Corn Growers Up State Are Facing
a Serious Loss Because of the
Expense of Harvesting Crop

Plumbers and bricklayers have been
displayed as high price artists in Del
aware and the lowly corn shucker
threatens to usurp their throne for
the price asked this year is go cents
per barrel or IL cents per bushel,
price, which no farmer even in his
Nightmares had ever thought of be-
fore. The workers are well organized
and the pirce is almost standard.
Farmers are facing a severe financial
loss on the crop this year which may
result in the elimination of what is
their main source of money for taxes
and winter feed. The price Of husk-
ing with the high cost of materials,
makes corn one of the most expensive
crops on the farm, and which prob
ably will result in growers planting
less corn and growing other crops for
feeding purposes if the high wage
price is not reduced. Just what will
be the financial condition of the av-
erage tenant farmer in Delaware at
the end of the year is problematical,
not only because of the serious condi-
ton confronting them with their corn
crop, but because the tomato crop has
proven almost a complete failure The
profits derived from other crops are
by no means sufficient to enable the
average tenant to make both ends
meet for the year.
There are no evidences in Delaware
of the prosperity so much discussed at
the present and unless conditions i'm
prove greatly during the coming year
there will be more than one mortgage
placed to help the farmers fight an
uphill financial battle.
This is strikingly evidenced by the
decrease in the bank balances as COM
pared with last year, which show
about 100000 less on deposit for the
quarter ended September 20 than last
year.
The main reason for their condition
is the failure Of the asparagus and
tomato crops, which usually produce
large revenues.
It is believed by bankers that al
most the entire profits derived from
a fine wheat yield will be consumed in
meeting the expenses Of the year, and
with no money accruing from the corn
crop, the situation is not at all en-
couraging.

Educators Give Junior
Red Cross High Praise

Growing recognition by leading ed
ucators al over the world has been an
achievement of the Junior Red Cross
In the last fiscal year.
Included In those which have taken

World Federation Of Education Asso-
Citations at Edinburgh, Scotland, In
1875, the Department Of Supertnten'
dence Of the National Dducatjon As
ISOLATION, at Washington, 1875, and
the National Education Association
In Philadelphia. June, 1926. Various
State educational bodies have CON
firmed this approval. the report adds.
As a phase of their work, the Jun
iors have developed contacts through
exchange of correspondence, with
similar Junior organizations In vir.
tualiy every part Of the world, and
through the development Of this me-
dium many leaders sea better
chance for world peace in future.
An especially notable development
of Junior organization has occurred

LOSING PORKERs BY CHOLERA
Worst Breakout in Years Plays Havoc
With Herds in Lower Delaware

The worst outbreak Of hog cholera
the State has experienced in many
years has been ravaging porkers in
lower Delaware. Sussex county farm
ers have been the heaviest sufferers.
In some instances hogs that have
been inoculated with hog cholera
serum have died, but, according to
officials of the State Board of Agri-
culture the serum is not always eff
fective. It is stated that an average
of per cent of the porkers inoculat-
ed suffer from the disease. AS a re-
suit Of this outbreak of cholera, the
demand for the free serum which the
State Board supplies has been very
heavy, and it is expected that the fund
for the purchase of this serum will be
exhausted within a month unless the
disease is checked speedily. At the
next session of the legislature the
State Board will ask for fresh appro-
priations in order to aid the farmers
in their fight against hog cholera.
One Of the most valuable features
of the State Board Of Agriculture is
the chemical laboratory established
six years ago. The use of this labor
atory has become pretty general and
the number of its patrons has increas-
ed steadily. The last General Assem-
bly, appropriated $4,000 a year for
the maintenance of the laboratory, but
through fees collected from manufac-
turers of fertilizers and other articles
used in agriculture, the laboratory the
past year has collected $4,000, making
the actual cost to the State of the
laboratory but ST00.

Old Idea OUerruIed

The old maxim that silence gives
consent" is not accepted by English
Jaw, under a recent ruling of the
court of criminal appeals in England.
4 prisoner, accused of receiving stolen
goods, had remained silent when asked
whether guilty or not guilty, and his
silence was taken as plea of guilty.
He was sentenced by the lower courts
TO FIVE years Of penal servitude. But
the court of appeals ruled that his
silence was not adequate evidence of
plea Of guilty by the prisoner. and
discharged the convicted man.
