FARM LEADERS who have been
pointing to Governor Smith as the
Moses to lead the agriculturists into
the promised land, are more than
little worried over the latest demon
strations in the Democratic camp.
It may be that Mr.. Raskob, of the
General Motors Company, who has
been made chairman of the Smith
committee has a heart full and over
flowing with sympathy for the farm
ers of the country, but his environ
ment does not sustain that thought.
Mr.. Raskob is of the hard pave
ments, and his only knowledge of
farm problems has been gathered in
Wall Street, where he has been play
ing with bulls and bears.
The suggestion that Owen D.
Young, of the General Electric Com
pany is the Smith choice for COVER
nor of New York also brings another
man into the picture whose know
ledge of canyons is confined to those
in downtown New York, created by
the high buildings, and whose farm
ing activities are of the Park Ave
nue. window box variety. The Demo-
Gratis in this case, after weeping
over the plight of the farmer, must
be congratulated on their courage
or bravado in their selection of ex-
perts on city movements, even while
they are trying to dry the farm
tears.

A BEAUTIFUL CREAPE MYRTLE

"A BEAUTIFUL ChEAIE W IhIAE
In the many beautiful yards and
gardens about the homes of Milford,
there are many handsome sights,
but one of the most striking of
them all, has been the large crepe
myrtle bush in the handsome
grounds about the John Mulholland
apartments, on North Walnut street,
which for three weeks has been a
picture in color and beauty for all
who pass to look upon with pleas
ure; and hundreds have paused to
view the sight, especially in the lat
ter two weeks. The bush itself is
not only beautiful but it has beau
tiful setting. 1t is well proper
toned circle with an oval top fall
ing nearly to the ground, with the
highest point about II feet and a
diameter of Is feet, while the beau
tiful small green leaves shared
about half of the surface with the
delicate pink crepe myrtle blooms
forming cones about ten inches long.
At present the seed is forming and
the delicate pink and lacelike flow
ers are dropping, while the honey
bees probe for the honey amidst the
sweetness. Central Delaware is
about the northern limit for this
Towering tree or bush, to survive
the colds of winter weather. The
crepe myrtle is in two distinct va
rieties, the pink and the deep red.
The pink variety blooms about three
weeks earlier than the red in most
localities. 1t is a beautiful flower
ing tree, where it can survive the
winters, and this particular plant
Mr.. Mulholland protects from the
cold and storms, with the sudden
of temperature; each win
ter he has coarse corn fodder set
about the bush, leaving the top
open, and this seems to afford the
protection needed to keep it from
winter-killing. This tree has been
a source of pleasure to hundreds
during it's blooming season and in
deed is a beautiful picture in a
beautiful setting.

THE FARM PROBLEM has been
written down at the top of the
column of Mr.. Hoover's memoranda
and already he has given very con-
siderable amount of time to gather
ing the views of those who are able
to speak with authority on this
matter. While it is true he has not
boldly promised the farmers as did
Governor Smith that if elected he
would move at once with or without
the consent of Congress, instead he
has been working to stabilize con-
gressional sentiment, so something
actual and effective can be done.
The situation will call for the best
that is in him, but there is no worry
that he will not be equal to it. His
farm knowledge is real and genuine
and he has long been known to hold
to the opinion that an adjustment
can only be secured if the people
of the country as whole go to it
unitedly in man fashion. That is
what he is doing.

THOUSANDS of people in Della
ware are contemplating "going into
business" They are sick Of work.
ing for someone else, and they want
to strike out for themselves. This is
a commendable ambition. But it
needs to be accompanied by judg-
ment.
A lot of these people seem to think
the business world is full of money
waiting for peope to pick up. 1t is
full of money, more so than ever be-
fore, but it takes a lot of things, in
GLIDING much experience and COM
petence, to know how to get hold OF
it.
Business success is not an easy
soft snap, or a tired mans job. 1t
is something within the reach Of al
most anyone of good intelligence,
who is willing to work hard and
thoroughly learn the business in
which he is engaged. But before he
risks his own money or is given
loans by his friends, he needs to
work at that business, and know its
ms and out very thoroughly. If he
lacks this experience, he is likely to
make mistakes that will cost him
heavily.
If a person has an ambition to
run a retail store, he should take a
job as a clerk, and study the selling
end from every angle. He should
never forget that one of the best
factors in success is advertising.
Then he will need to know the buy
ing end equally well, and he needs
to know thoroughly the merchandise
which he is handling. With these
forms of experience, and with a will
ingness to work for his living, he
stands a chance.

RANCHER HAS
fine ORCHARD
OF PECAN TREES

Imperial Valley is about to hav,
another industry, in the form OF
pecans, which are ripcning in the
ore hard Of r. j. Tubb in the Verde
district, three and one half miles
northwest of Bonds Corner
This information will no doubt
come as n surprise to many, as here.
tofore the belief existed that pecans
would not thrive in any section of
the country except the south. Tubt
has 30 acres of trees which will
bear for the first time this wear
These trees were about two wears
old when planted, and have been
in the ground five years. The crop
this year will be very light, about
ton being harvested, but next year
n harvest of about 80 pounds per
tree is expected.
Tubb went into the pecan busi-
ness more in the nature of an cx-
pertinent, but has learned that with
plenty of work and constant attcn.
tlon il may become decidedly
profitable venture. He has &c
additional acres, which were planted
recently, and it is believed he has
the largest pecan orchard in Cali
fornia. Specimens from his trees
measure two inches long and two
and one half inches in circumference,
which is declared to be an unusual
size.
Seedlings Raised
AS a side issue he raises seedlings,
having close to $4,000 seedlings at
the present. He finds his market
fer these on the coast and to a
smaller degree in the valley. These
seedlings will be budded during their
second year with choice buds, and
hopes of strong trees are held by
Tubb, who is experimenting in this
field of production.
Tubb has 700 trees on 80 acres,
which averages around % trees to
the acre. Trees are planted ~ feet
apart as they grow to quite large
size. AS the trees become older
their production increases, Welding
as high as 1000 pounds at u years
of age. This yield, however, il. TAX
en- from plots where only II trees
have been allowed to the acre.
Tubb planted other crops between
the trees, without Injury to them,
which nettcd him some revenue dur
ing the years Of productivity.
According to Frank Beysrhlag
assistant county farm advisor. mum
crous problems are TO be considered
before entering into this field
namely, deep, soft soil free of
water table and alkali. Much ex-
pertinent is needed before the in.
dustry can be established in the
valley, according to Bcyschlag, as it
is necessary to find out which vari-
ETY. thrivcs in the climate and soil
The industry has been quite firmly
established in the Yuma district.
