THE WHEAT PROBLEM

The following address was pre-
pared by Alexander Legge, chairman,
Federal Farm Board, for delivery on
July 8, at 1910 p. m, from Station
WRC in Washington over the Nation
al BrOadcasting Company's chain of
radio stations:
You have just heard Secretary
Hyde give a brief summary of the
world wheat situation. 1t is not one
that offers hope for improvement OF
return to the American wheat grow
er in the near future if he continues
to produce so much wheat that the
price for all his crop is determined
by the part he must sell in the world
market. We of the Farm Board have
given this situation much thought
and consideration and it is our judg-
ment that there is only one sure way
for the farmers of this country to
meet it satisfactorily. My comments
will be confined to a suggestion of
how best to deal with the wheat sit
uatiOn.
Comments coming to the Board
from various sections of the country
indicate that there are still a con-
siderable number of persons who are
laboring under the delusiOn that
through some mysterious process,
the surpluses of agricultural COM
modities, no matter how large, can
be disposed of abroad without inter-
ferring with that portion of the COM
modify that is consumed in the do
nestle market All information we
have on the subject tends to dis
credit the possibility of any such So
lutiO nalong this line.
On wheat, practically every i'm
porting country in the world, except
one, already has passed definite leg
| islation restricting impoTtations and
in some instances absolutely barring
tfhe importation of wheat at any
price level lower than the price that
commodity is bringing in the country
! from which it is exported. In other
words, they have gone so far as to
say formally that action of this kind
is dumping" and pretty nearly every
country in the world has regulations
prohibiting this being done. OF this
we cannot complain as our own
country has a very similar law COW
ering the same proposition. Under
our tariff law American producers
are protected so that when farmers
of another country are paid bonus
by their own Government on an ex-
ported farm product, our duty on
| that particular commodity is auto
matically increased by the amount
of the bonus. Therefore, in seeking
solution of the wheat surplus prob
lem, it is my judgment that we might
as well abandon any theory which
contemplates selling abroad at prices
lower than those currently prevail
ing in this country.

VACATION DAYS

Millions of people look forward to
their summer vacations as period
of unbounded joy that will compens
safe them for all the labors and
troubles of the year. But it takes
the right kind of personality to make
these dreams come true. Some folks
who look forward so eagerly to' this
rest time, become very grOuchy
when it comes. If they travel by
automobile, they kick about the
rough roads and poor food along the
way. If they go by train, they find
fault with delays. "
Something is always wrong. 1t
takes some philosophy to get useful
results out of a vacation. A good
many of these tourists would really
be better off to stay at home. They
are SO bound to their ordinary home
comforts, that they are unhappy if
they miss them. ""A.;-'t -
They can't expect things just the
same as they had them at home,
where all their personal tastes are
considered and provided for. When
they go on a journey, they have to
take the things that are offered in a
wholesale way. 1t is very costly
business running summer resort
places. If perfect service is provid-
ed, it is apt to be more costly than
the average person cares to pay for
To get real enjoyment out of a va
cation trip, people need to have some
tolerance. When they storm at a
hotel table because they have to wait
five minutes too long for their din
ner, or because the meat is under
done or the pudding cooked too
much, they are simply wasting their
breath, and spelling their outing. d"
Their minds should be so full of
the scenic beauty they have observ-
ed, the wonders of nature spread be-
fore them, the fascination of seeing
what people are doing in other
states, cities, and countries, that
they lose all desire to crab. They
should reflect that even if the serv-
ice is the worst conceivable, it is a
hundred times better than the con-
ditions the pioneer ancestors had to
get along with in their day,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

If child wakes up too early or
sleeps fitfully during the night, per-
haps his supper has not provided
quite enough nourishment to carry
him through to the breakfast hour.
Make sure that the last meal of the
day provides some milk, bread and
butter, a vegetable and possibly a
fruit, such as scrapped baked ap-
pie.

BURY THE BEAN BEETLES

Bean plants in eastern fields where
the Mexican bean beetle has been
troublesome should be plowed under
as soon as the crop is picked. Thou
sands of eggs, larvae, pupae, and
newly emerged adults can be de-
stroyed in this way. Covering the
plant remains and insects with few
inches of soil will destroy them. The
fall crop of beans should be planted
as late as possible. The beetle does
not ordinarily reproduce as rapidly
in late August and September as in
spring and early summer.

Milford, Friday, July IS, 1880

MILFORD HAS LOST within re-
cent years several citizens who were
instrumental in starting an era OF
history for this town and commun-
itv which caused prosperity for
business, as we'll as for a higher
standard of civic morals. George H.
ualps death, following that of JOS
eph E. Holland in a brief space OF
time, removes factors that have
stood behind law and order, as well
as directing public affairs through
large business interests. Their loss
coupled with that of William G. Alb
bott, of the ship building industry, is
a hard blow to the business circles
Of Milford. They spent their lives
in building up modern business
methods, which educated the people
of the town and surrounding dis
tricts, as to the value of commun-
ity interests through successful bus
mess. Each man took active part in
church affairs and Christian govern
ment Each man stood for the best
edncation for all children through
our public school system, that 1t is
nOssible to attain. Each man stood
for moral enforcement of law and
the improvement of living cOndi-
tions for all the people. The blow
has been unexpected, although these
men were growing aged, and their
interests were growing to be advis-
ory as the days passed. There are
Young men to step into the ranks
and carry one in all the channels in
business, in public service and in
financial affairs. There are living
men who are as fully alive to pro-
gress for government and business
affairs. as those who have gone.
There are men and women in Mil
ford who will do their full part in
carrying on the prosperity of Mil
ford as it is today, into the future
through service in the church, in the
nublic service and developing to
greater heighth the business poll
cies which have made Milford and
its surrounding communities pros
perous and content. Let all honor
be rendered to those who have gone,
but for the sake of their memory,
and the future of our community
and it's affairs, let those who take
their place, establish higher stan
dard if it be possible, in all of that
which they were identified with.

The store of Winfield Wright at
North Walnut and Front Street has
been repainted and an asbestos roof
placed on it this week, which helps
to protect against fire. The old
wooden shops and business stands
adjoining the Wright store and Wat
son Block, are the only fire hazard
on the west side of North Walnut
street, and the only hideous disfig-
urement in the way of sheds over
the sidewalk. 1t is up to the Town
Council to clean up and complete the
improvements that Council and the
Light and Water Commission is max
ing, in the way of modern street
lighting for the business part of Mil
ford. Trim the trees that now OBJ
struct the lighting of the streets and
sidewalks with dropping limbs and
dense foliage, that is the duty of the
Town Council.

SoS
OUR OWN STATE

There are many of our people who
have been all over the country, and
have travelled extensively in for
eign lands, who have meyer visited
many of the most famous and noted
scenes in their own state. The story
of the settlement of Delaware is a
tale of romance and adventure. The
scenes where the early pioneers
struggled against difficulties and
dangers. is a record of marvellous
achievement. We should know bet
ter the famous scenes of this early
struggle. The marvellous beauty
spots of our own state should be
better known. -.
Our industrial development is
modern marvel. We should visit its
farms and factories and cities and
observe the new ideas there worked
out. We have enough to occupy sew
eral summer vacations just touring
around our own state.
.. %e@
THIS CONGRESS has handled
some very big questions. 1t has not
merely performed the enormous task
of revising the tariff, but it has at
tempted to solve the problem of farm
relief which has vexed the country
for ten years, and it has liberalized
the treatment given to the war vet
erans. Much of this legislation is
experimental, and people will have
to wait and see how it works. The
verdict upon it's labors will be rem
dered by time, which, searches out
faults and mistakes with relentless
eye, but which rewards all honest
and sincere attempts to promote the
country's welfare.

WHAT A BANK MAN SAYS

The American Bankers Magazine
recently said: mo business in any
town should allow newspaper pub
iished in it's town to go without its
name and business being mentioned
somewhere in it's columns"
If all OF most of the business and
professional men of community
should decide that this would be a
GOOD policy, what would be the re-
suit? Many things would happen.
The newspaper columns would give
the impression that the place was
such a live business center that more
trade would come in. The home
newspaper would improve and print
many more features, which would
draw attention to the town. Such
general advertising would be a won
derful move for business progress.
IF PEOPLE want distant friends
to remember them, they have to
write to them. So if business con-
Germs want people remember them.
and visit their stores, they have to
recall their existence to these people
BY advertising in newspapers.

ATTRACTIVE MODERN HOMES

Every time anyone builds an at
tractive new house, and most new
houses are attractive, something is
done to make community more
pleasing to people. If the citizens
of town want to see their home
place develop, they need in most
cases to set aside some portion of
their savings and capital to erect
new dwellings,.
New homes, put up with all the re-
cent improvements, seem so very at
tractive to people, that lot of them
want to move in right off when they
see such a house. When town has
plenty of such new homes, it is a
aid toward the growth Of
that community.

THE STAY AT. HOMES

While a multitude of the people
enjoy so much within a short dis
tance of home are just as jolly. The
housewives are happy to pack some
good eataBles in well filled lunch
baskets, and eat meal in some
scene of beauty The men who play
picnic baseball, and run around
bases as if they were boys again,
have just as good time as if they
were travelling in foreign lands.
Pleasure comes not so much from
the things we see. as from the things
we do. The automobile ride which
you take with your friends and
neighbors, enlivened by jolly talk,
is just as. pleasant as jaunt' many
miles away. One can have mighty
good summer right here in Delaware.

WANT TO BAN
 OREGON CLANS

Legislation to bar Oregon clans from Washington markets during the states closed season is suggested by Charles R. Pol lock, supervisor of fisheries for the state of Washington. The le- gislation if enacted would de- prive Oregon clam dealers of a market. This is a proposed re- medy for "bootlegged" Washing ton clans during the closed season by representing them to be imported from Oregon.
 The clam dealers of Alaska should watch this bit of legis- lation and see to it that the Alaska product is not barred by this same legislation. It will do no little hurt to the Alaska pro- duct if allowed to pass unquali- tied.

Nine or More Plants
 VII De Closed

From Ketchikan comes re port that probably nine can neries in Southeastern Alaska will he closed during the 193' season. Others may close owino to the financial distress now facing them and for the poor 71arket for this years products
 It is being reported in Ketchi kan that the Northwestern Fish cries Company will close down +hree of it's plants in this Divi- sion; the Libby. McNeil and Lib Dy company will close three of it's plants and the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation (Skinner Company will close down three of it's plants in the First Di- vision. To operate these can 1eries with the market glutted with salmon would be most fool hardy and really invitation for further financial distress than has been evident this year a. mong the canners.

Deportation War to be Waged on Criminal Aliens

Secretary Doaks has the i'm migration authorities scrutiniz- ing the history and records oI some of the country's notorious gangsters in an effort to see if they could be deported. He de- clared that criminals in Chica- go, New York and other large cities were under close scrutiny. He further added that if there were any change in the policy toward deporting aliens while he was secretary would be enforc- ing present laws more rigidly. He figured that about 1000 were being sent out of the country each month.

LUMBER FROM SAWDUST

Down in New Orleans recent iy, synthetic lumber process was explained before the American Institute of Chemical Engineers by Robert H. Boehm of Laurel, Miss. It consists of shooting sawdust and clipped wood from guns"
 Waste material is packed into cannonlike cylinders about 20 inches in diameter and 5 feet in length. A steam pressure of about 1000 pounds per square inch is applied for few seconds. The hydraulic valves are opened, causing a violent explosion which shoots from the mouth of the gun a mass of long fibers. The fbers are compressed into synthetic lumber and insulation boards.
