Townsend, Aug. s. The Fire
mems Carnival has been the mec-
ca of goodly crowds the past week
and number from Middletown,
Smyrna and towns on the Eastern
Shore have Joined in the carnival
spirit.
The extremely hot weather and
drought has played havoc with the
cucumber crop. The first ship
ments Of the cucumbers were of
good quality, but the heat made
the crop turn yellow and conse-
quently they were not in demand
by the picking establishments in
the various cities. Various places
where picking factories are locat-
ed secured the shipments, but the
chief point of the picking business
is Boston, where many carloads
were consigned three weeks ago
from the peninsula. Though the
serious condition of all vegetation
in this section was temporarily re-
lieved by two refreshing showers
last week, growing crops are still
suffering badly from record-break-
ing heat. With the pea crop a to-
tai failure and string beans yield
ing but thirty per cent, the price
of wheat being the lowest in years
and the estimated yield of sugar
corn being figured at thirty-five
per cent, tomatoes are the only
crop from which the farmers hope
to receive fair returns.
David Buckson was entertained
Saturday in honor of his birthday
at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Will
liam Spicer, near Blackbird. Re

dition of the road and that school
children were unable to reach

asked that the Levy Court consid-
er improving the road before win

What is the matter dur
ing the next season, with
muskrat farms being more OF
an industry in Delaware
Over in Maryland, the Every
Evening pertinently points
out, "the muskrat is regarded
as one of the most valued OF
Maryland's resources by the
State game and fish conserva-
tion head who appraises the
annual value of the pelts and
meat of the animals at more
than S2,5OO,OOO. The fur
bearing rodents are gaining
In numbers with great rapid
lty in spite of the trappers
who are on their trail three
months each Winter, and the
commissioner intimates that
there is much marsh and low
land which might be utilized
for the intensive propagation
of the rats.
Perhaps no other seasonal
vocation offers such large re-
wards as the trapping of
muskrats, and no other out
put of the rural lands meets
with such an active demand
in the markets as do the pelts
of the so-called "swamp rab-
bits" and there is an urge in
the statement of the Mary
land game chief which might
be extended to Delawareans.
1t suggests propagating the
muskrat more carefully and
scientifically than we do at
present.
''It is claimed that the rats
breed and mature quite as
well in captivity-away from
marshes-as they do in their
native lowlands. 1t may be
pointed out that this state
and its waste lands offer am
pie fields for such activities"
which for ten years or more
have assured larger net re-
turns than derived from any
other commodity raised in
farm districts"

Some Census Facts

Many interesting facts con- corning the growth of the Unit ed States may be drawn from the 1880 census figures, which show population of 122,729,- 615 for the AS states and Dist rict of Columbia. The coun- try's outlying possessions have approximately 15,000,000 ad- ditional persons.
 In percentage of gain, Calif- ornia leads all the states with an increase of GA per cent, Florida being second with 52 per cent. New York state showed the largest gain in act ual numbers, although its per- centage of increase was only 21.
 Montana is the only state to show loss amounting~to 2 per uetlt. But the gain of several other states was very small, Arkansas, Virginia, North Da- kota, New Hampshire, Maine, South Carolina, Iowa, Idaho Il d Vermont showing in- cerased population of only 5 per cent or less. The first five states in population remain as before, being in order New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Texas, but sixth place is now taken by California, which passed ahead of Michi- gan and Massachusetts. Ne vada remains the smallest state in population, with 90,559 ; Wyoming being next from the bottom with 224,693.
 It is estimated that 60 per cent of the entire population of the United States is now urban, that is, living in cities and towns of 2,500 or more In 1920 the urban population was only 51.4 per cent. This trend from country to city is perhaps the most significant fact disclosed by the 1880 census.

Interest. In Silver
 Situation Increasing

Press comment relative to the present depressed industrial and business situation discloses an ever widening view that the decline in the price of silver is primarily responsible for ex- isting conditions of industrial stagnation and unemployment. : Furthermore it is also appar- ent that economists and busi- ness experts are fast inclining to the view that remonitization of silver offers the only sound basis for restoration of indus trial prosperity. -
 Testimony given before the Senate subcommittee headed by Senator Pittman which has been engaged during recent days in holding hearings on the Pacific Coast regarding the causes of the decline in Or iental trade, almost unani- mously supported the view that the decline in the price of ; silver is the cause of our dimin- ishing exports to China, for the reason that the Chinese have become so impoverished by the. silver decline that they cannot purchase our goods. This testi- mony was offered by witness es not associated with the sil- yer industry, as it was the pol icy of Senator Pittmann and his associates on the committee not to take testimony from those connected with the silver industry, owing to their desire to avoid accusations that the committees investigation was in the interest of silver.
 By far the greater part of the testimony appeared to indicate a view that the best solution of the China situation is for the United States and other count ries to loan large amounts of silver to China for the purpose of stabilizing the present Nat ionalist government and bring about the ultimate justification of China.
 However, the view is ex- pressed in other quarters that
Hyder weekly herald., 1930-09-13

action of such character would be merely palliative and the actual world remonitization of silver presents the only means of permanently restoring the purchasing power of the Ori- entail countries, Mexico and South American states.
 Supporting the remonitiza~ ton view, the Republican state convention of Idaho recently adopted a resolution calling for worldwide remonitization of the white metal and declar- ing that such action is necess- ary to restore stability in inter national finance.
 Newspapers of Spokane have been for some time inSistent in demanding international re- form of of the monetary situ- ation and lately have been joined by the Vancouver Sun. Salt Lake Tribune and other journals. The Tribune recently declared that the gold stand ard "enslaVes Il e entire world"
 The Sun, in a double-column front page editorial, not only favored the remonitization of silver butalso uttered a signif- icant warning by declaring ::
 If the pound sterling is not 10 go the way of the French
 ranc, the German mark, and the Russian ruble, there is inn mediate need, there is urgent need, for our international bankers and so-called world leaders to prove themselves worthy of their responsibili- ties"
 The Sun also published an Illuminating article on the sill yer question by P. A. O,Farrell, noted publicist, in which he de- clared that the scuttling of sil- yer by England and Germany in 1872 combined with the slump in gold and the debacle in silver destroyed the money and purchasing power of three fourths of the people of the earth and that the greatest economic crisis of history is here as a result.
