trade in early potatoes from Cuba
and Bermuda is reported, the i'm
ports in the last three seasons hav-
ing averaged 1O,843,00O pounds, or
about $4,000 bushels per year.
There can be little question that
additional protection is needed by
the growers Of our southern states
who come in competition with these
products Of peon labor. They need
protection just as the western farm
ers, stock raisers and dairy men
need protection, and just as the Am
erican worker in the factories of the
East and Middle West need protec-
ton from cheap foreign labor.
The failure Of Congress to enact a
tariff bill has hurt not only the man
ufacturers of the East but the far
mers and workers in every section
of the country. It is to be hoped that
when the regular session gets fully
under way and the skies are cleared,
a proper protective tariff measure
can be placed on the statute books
in a reasonable length of time. Sure
ly this action will be beneficial TO
the people in every section of the
country.

Protection For Garden Crops

A great many people have doubt
less been wondering about the re-
vival of interest in the protective
tariff in some of the southern states.
It has been evident Of course LOT
years that Louisiana was interested
in a tariff on sugar, and it became
evident also a few years ago when
the cotton mills began to move
south that the time was coming
when states like North Carolina
would need protection as much as IL
is needed by Massachusetts. But
there has of late been a great ue-
mand from growers in Florida, Tex

DELAWARE HAS 753
MILES IMPROVED ROADS
Engineer Mack Says Highway Con-
tracts In 1929 TOtaled $1,S51,7Sl

During the past year the State
Highway Department awarded q
road contracts, 8 bridge contracts
and two building contracts for a To-
tai cost of 351,7S1.SS, OF winch
s1.179,1OO, was for the construction
of highways. These figures are CIV
on in the annual report of w. W.
Mack. chief engineer Of the depart
nent which has been submitted 10
Governor Buck and which was also
made to the State Highway COM
mission at meeting in Dover.
The report shows that 61.4S miles
of road was completed during tne
wear ve making an improved good roau
system in the State Of 75S ml!es
which is about 20 per cent OF the
entire road mileage Of the State.
one of the most important OF the
recommendations made by Engineer
Macl, in his report is the construc-
tion of a road to connect the Phila-
delphia pike via Forty-thlrd street
tn Miller Road in Brandyw1ne Hun
dred to relieve the congestion OF
traffic on North Market street. Gov
ernor Buck while chief engineer
made the same recommendation IN
1927 but at that time the necessary
rights of way were not available
Int Mr.. Mack says the rights OF way
can now be secured.
Another important recommends
+ion is the relocation of the social
ed Lincoln Highway through Mar
shallton. If this recommendation
which has also been previously
made should be carried out it would
do away with several troublesome
curves in Marshallton.
Mr. Mack submits a list Of roads
in each county and recommends that
those improved during 1880 be Sc
lected from this list.
The engineer points out in his re-
hort some of the important work
tbat was completed during 1929
which includes the dual highway
from State Road to st. Georges, the
approaches and new bridges at
Farnhurst, the new bridge at New
mort and some very important ex-
0er10ental WOTh IueC was VA A@SN ~
in building lateral roads,
There was considerable expendl-
lures during the year for sucn
things as rights of ways and COM
pleting old contracts in addition to
the amounts given above.
Mr.. Mack points out that the state
now receives $685., 1925, annually from
the federal government for road
construction and that should the bill
now in Congress become a law Del
aware would receive $S45,OOO add1-
tional annually from this source.
In the report Mr.. Mack commends
the work Of the state highway po-
lice. the highway department force
and states the department is fortu-
nate in having tie benefit of the
knowledge and experience Of Cover
nor Buck in road building.
There is under construction, and
will be completed early in 1880, an
overhead counterweight, rolling leaf
bascule bridge over the Mispilllon
River near Milford. This will be a
mart of the Milford Cutoff, which
will be put under construction early
in the year.
