DEAN M'CUE Sees
AGRICULTURE AS A
COMPLEX INDUSTRY
The NOn-PrOgressive Farmer Is
Being Pushed To The Wall,
b He Says.
READY MARKET NEEDED
Delaware Man Spoke From Sta
tiOn WIZ In Warrington Last
Saturday.

Speaking at Washington Saturday
afternoon over the National Broad
casting System Dean Charles A. Nc.
Cue, of the School of Agriculture
University of Delaware, called atten-
tiOn to the endless tales about the
desperate straits in which agricul-
ture has found itself, and of opinions
expressed from time to time that ag-
riculture was on the up grade or that
it was on the down grade.
Dean McCue spoke on "The Indus
try Called Agriculture" during the
National Farm and Home hour. Many
Delawareans listened in on the
speech over WIZ. The dean is the
first Delawarean to give a radio talk
over this National hook-up.
Our ear drums have been assault
ed with arguments for and against
the McNary- -Haugen Bill, the deben-
ture export plan, the Federal Farm
Loan Board and in what not as
means of relief for agricultural in
dustry," he said.
Agriculture includes many in
dustries that may or may not have
very much in common except the
soil 1t includes such diverse indus
tries as growing beef and mutton
upon the ranges of the West and
producing cranberries upon bog
lands, in Wisconsin, Massachusetts,,
and New Jersey, growing oranges in
Southern California or narcissus
bulbs in Oregon, growing Christmas
trees in New England or raising
hogs in Indiana, growing cotton in
Texas or Georgia or hogs in Iowa
or Indiana. With this thought in
mind you can at once realize the
great complexity. as well the great
diversity of problems concerning
agriculture.
"If you were to make, for exam
pie, a study of the problems Of
leather industry, you would find it
child's play as compared to salts
factory study of the problems of ag-
riculture.
'In agriculture there are not only
many complex and diverse problems
but also many conflicting interests.
What is good for one group of farm
ers may be injurious to another. The
grower of wheat upon the great
plains of Nebraska has but little in
common with the onion grower in |
the lower Mississippi delta. When
for example the Federal Farm Board |
seeks to put the California grape |
grower upon his feet, it deals the
grape growers in my own State
blow upon their solar plexus. Putting
the hog grower of the corn belt upon
his feet may mean driving the swine
in other regions into the

EXPLAIN REQUIREMENTS
/. FOR FEDERAL AID
Farm Board VIII Deal Only With
CO-OperatiOns.

Mr.. Ralph G. Wilson, secretary Ot
the State Board of Agriculture, has
received a letter from Hon. James
C.. Stone, Vice-chairman of the Fed
eral Farm Board, Washington, D. c.
advising the requirements necessary
to obtain assistance from that or
ganization. AS both the individual
farmers and the representatives of
cooperative marketing associations
are interested in what they must do
in order to secure aid from the Fed
eral Farm Board, the letter is
quoted below:
Federal Farm Board,
Washington,
January 4, 1880.
Mr.. Ralph c. Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture,
Dover, Delaware.
Dear Mr.. Wilson:
You no doubt are being asked the
question every day by both individ-
ual farmers and representatives of
cooperative marketing associations
as to what they will have to do to
get aid or assistance from the Fed
eral Farm Board.
1t is impossible for the board to
deal direct with the individual farm
er. Under the terms of the Agricul-
tural Marketing Act, the board may,
with exceptions not here important,
lend only to cooperative associa-
tions which are qualified under the
Capper-Volstead Act of 1922.
To qualify under the CappeT-Vol-
stead Act, the cooperative must be
composed of persons engaged in the
production of agricultural products,
as farmers, planters, ranchmen,
dairymen, nut or fruit growers, act
ing together in associations, cOrpor-
ate or otherwise, with or without
capital stock, in collectively pro-
cessing, preparing for market, hand
ling and marketing in interstate and
foreign commerce, such products of
persons so engaged. Such associa-
tions may have marketing agencies
in common; such associations and
their members may make the neces-
sary contracts and agreements eff
fecting such purposes.
Under the provisions of the act,
such associations shall be
operated for the mutual benefit of
their members and conform to one
or both of the following require
ments:
"(D that no member of the asso-
citation is allowed more than one
vote because of the amount of stock
or membership capital he may own
therein; or
"(2) that the association does not |
pay dividends on stock or member
ship capital in excess of eight per |
cent per annum."
Another requirement of the act is |
that the association shall not deal |
in the products of non-members to |
IN amount greater in value than such
as are handled by it for members"
In order effectively to carry out |
The provisions of the act, the board |
has already assisted in the forma-
tion of several national co-operatives /
particular commodi-
ties. Others will be formed in the
future. If and when such national
co-operatives are formed, it is the
policy of the board to require that
Ill local, state or regional co-opera-
ives shall affiliate with the national
and receive the benefits of the Ag-
'icultural Marketing Act through
his national affiliation.
It is the desire of the board that

HANDY ANNOUNCES
CHANGE In METHOD
OF FILING INCOMES
Employers Or Firms Paying
Dividends Or Salaries Are
Affected.
DATE BEEN ADVANCED
Regular Income Tax Returns
Must Be 10 Before Saturday,
March 18th.

The following change in method of
employers or firms paying dividends
on fixed incomes was announced at
the office of the collector of internal
revenue, Federal Building, Ninth and
Shipley streets, in Wilmington.
AS a result of a recent decision of
the Treasury Department, Washing
ton, it was announced at the Inter
nal Revenue Department that in
making the returns for this years
income tax here, all persons making
payment to another person of a fixed
or determinable income of $1,500 or
more, also corporations paying divi-
dends to individuals of $500 or more
in any calendar year, to render a re-
turn thereof on form 1895 accom-
panied by form 1899 to Wallace
Handy, collector of internal revenue
for the Delaware district, instead of
to Robert H. Lucas, the commission
er Of internal revenue in Washing
ton, as was done last year.
The decision of the Treasury De-
partment also provides that such re-
turns shall be filed on or before Feb
ruary Is, instead of on or before
March Is of the following year, as
has been done previously.
Forms 1896 and 1899 referred to
above, are the forms which are to
be filled out by the employer or per-
son paying fixed incomes or divi-
dends, or corporations doing the
same. Formerly each one of these
forms filed by the employer or cor
pOration paying fixed incomes sent
to the Commissioner of Internal
office in Washington, but
this year, to facilitate collections and
also to make the check of collections
easier, the returns will be filed by
such employers and corporations to
the district concerned.
All the forms for the 1929 returns,
which, according to a previous an
were to have been sent
out today, were sent out Thursday
by order from Washington. These
forms were sent to each person who
paid an income last year.
Included with each form was a
notice of the change of the rate of
taxation, passed by Congress by a
Joint resolution reducing the rates
