One OF the major ObJectlVeS
of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association says the
Wilmington Every Evening,
''has been to help the agricul-
tural interests on the penin-
sula, not only by causing the
adoption of improved meth
DDS of farming, but also III
the matter of marketing.
Now, in the third year of the
associations existence, evi-
dence is forthcoming that the
campaign in this behalf is
proving successful. Because
of the use Of improved agri-
cultural methods better re-
suits are being obtained as to
the quality of some of the
products, while the associa-
tion's marketing plan has
helped those who have adopt
ed it.
"In some of the largest
markets the associations in
sigma, showing that its pack
ing plan has been adopted by
the shipper using it, is re-
garded as a guarantee Of
grade both as to contents and
packing. 1t has been found,
also, that in many instances
where this insignia is carried
the commodities have com
manded top prices. Through
this means our peninsula is
becoming recognized, to
greater extent than ever be-
fore, as a producer Of the bet
ter grade of food articles de-
rived from the soil.
Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, although very close to
the metropolitan district, are
finding keen competition from
other parts Of the country.
Our territory has suffered
some in the past because Of
the improved methods Of
marketing adopted by grow
ers in distant states. Now
that our people are on a par
with these competitors in the
matter of handling-as well
as growing-their output, the
advantage is swinging our
way, because of our proXim-
ity to the buyer and the sys-
tematic and businesslike man
ner in which we are dealing
with him.
"a trifling increase in cost
may be necessary in doing
some of the things requisite
to reach the high standard of
quality and in following the
systematic packing and mar.
keting plan advocated, but the
evidence at hand shows that
it is worth while. Inferior
stock indifferently packed and
marketed, must take it's
chances with similar offerings
from other localities, and,nat-
urally, will give way to that
which has the greater appeal.
What is worth doing at all is
worth doing well-in farming
as well as in any other line of
activity"

ing Presidents Future Intentions,

carted to the storage warehouse in the
south of Northampton.
Law Offices Being RempdeIed
Northampton has looked with in
terest upon general remodeling of
the five-room suite of offices occupied
by Attorney Hemenway. While the
Presidents former partner declares
stoutly' that it has no significance as
far as the President is concerned
Northampton is hopeful that it has.
Mr.. Hemenway stands ready to renew
his partnership with Calvin Coolidge,
put is quite frank in saying he does not
look 1or SO fortunate a turn in the
events of the future.
The activities in the Office have ex-
panded considerably since Mr.. Coolidge
left the firm, but the Presidents law
library still reposes in the customary
cases at the ONCE.
The street windows and the glass
panel on the door affQrding entry to
the entire suite st4ll bears the names
OF Calvin Coolidge and Ralph w. Hem
enway, Attorneys at Law, although
somewhat Scared by time.
Hopes for Supreme Court Post.
Judge Henry p. Field, who supervised
the preliminary law study of the Presi-
dent, is hopeful that his earlier protege
in the law viii be offered place on
the bench of the United States Su-
preme Court. He is positive that the
Coolidge training and personal fitness
make him an admirable candidate"
for this high place of dignity and trust
To the elderly judge this would be
fitting reward for the years of serv-
ice given to the country as a faithful
servant of the nation.
The judge is given the initial credit
for Coolidge's interest in political af-
fairs. He, according to recollections of
Northampton, was mayor of the city
when Calvin Coolidge and Ernest Hardy
entered the Office of the firm of John
C.. Hammond and Judge Field. Both
lawyers were active participants in the
affairs of the city and county and this
influence has, according to those who
knew the President in his youth, had as
much to do with the shaping of his
early career as any

Mayor to Greet Arrival.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge will be hailed

prominent citizens Unless the hour
is an untimely one he will not escape
a turnout of commanding proportions
of the citizenry. The city is keyed up
for the event.
Although the speeches and the ban

CATTLE FEEDERS DAY

Should the Minnesota farmer feed
molasses to fattening cattle? 1t so,
how much should be fed? How should
it be fed? These question will be
answered by the results secured in the
feeding of six lots of steers expert
mentally by the animal husbandy de-
partment at University Farm the past
winter.
"The question 70 feeding molasses
to fattening cattle confronts practic-
ally every cattle feeder in Minneso-
ta," says w. H. Peters, chief of the
animal husbandry division. Here is
chance to see some cattle that have
been fattened on the standard ration
of corn, alfalfa hay, and protein sup
plement without receiving molasses;
some that have been fed corn, alfalfa
hay and molasses without the protein
supplement; some that have been fed
both molasses and a protein supple
ment, and some that have been self
fed all the molasses they would eat"
In addition to reporting the results
of the cattle fattening trial, several
problems Of Importance in the rails
ing and marketing of beef cattle will
be discussed. Everyone interested
is invited to be present at the live
stock pavilion, University Farm, ST..
