To Advertise Products
another phase of the associa-

ortance is the publicity it will give

bout increasing our yield we must

n increased number of standardized

stablish by means of up-to-date {

Look To Future
"Here in Delaware we should f;
ok forward confidently to the 81
ne when our river, bay and beach ii
1ntages are developed and receive 81
cir share of the nations resort
d tourist business. We should
ok forward to the time when our -,
rye and oft times inadequately n
veloped farms are broken up and 4.
tiled by intelligent, progressive ~
each one tilling in ~,
lsively a comparatively small r
lct, thus bringing production to e,
2 maximum. We should look for g.
Lrd to the day when our canning al
Adjustments are multiplied, and h,
len our brands are nationally n
own and nationally established. Iv
2 should look forward to the time HI
len our strong marketing organ w
.tiOns are in position to guar n
tee fair prices to every producer. "a
J should look forward to the time Al
len our county, our state, our m
is recognized as a haven M,
the American worker of modest or
ans who seeks to liberate himself ~. r
m the grind of the big city fac nj
les and the congestion of Metro N, m
Titan fats and tenement build ~.
rs. Here in Delaware we can Oh
thfully say that with a few acres he
land there is included economi- to
liberty. "
And if in this endeavor we are
be presently successful, we must
llize that the three counties in Ia
laware are economically irrevo- pc
)ly joined with the eleven other cn
mites comprising the Eastern lie
0re territory of the states of &c
ryland and Virginia. M
