MORE THAN LEADERSHIP
w. c. COSTELLO
Manager

At a time when most Americans are
II looking around hopefully for lead
er who can lead their country through
its perpleXing maze of difficulties, it is
interesting to find Governor Wilbur
Cross of Connecticut reminding US that
even the discovery of such leader won't
necessarily solve the problem.
Writing in the autumn number Of the
Yale Review, Governor Cross remarks:
If We have learned anything from the
war experience, it should be that lead
erShlp Is not enough 4 citizen of
democracy such as ours cannot with a
clear conscience delegate his authority
to the expert in times Of prosperity and
hide behind him in times of trouble. The
present period of adversely will have its
uses if 1t recalls people in all walks of
life to the elementary rights and duties
OF citizenship
That paragraph goes straight to the
roots of a good many Of the troubles of
the present moment.
For number of years we have been
content to put ourselves in the hands of
others. We have fondly trusted that
these others were wiser than we, but we
haven't worried about it greatly.
The nation at large used to take its
politics seriously. 1t used to get excited
about the trends in business and econo-
mics. 1t was jealous of its rights. The
country store, where farmers gathered
around the cracker box to settle the af-
fairs of the nation, wasn't quite as fun
ny an institution as we like to pretend.
Recently we suffered a change. We
let politicians run governmental affairs
about as they pleased, asking only that
they didn't worry Us over them. We were
too busy to bother about developments
in finance and industry, leaving all such
things to the square, -jawed men in the
front office. We gave up a measure Of
our old independence, and asked only to
be led in something approXimating the
right direction.
Now we are getting precisely what we
asked for Corruption in city affairs,
inefficiency in state capitals, mounting
federal deficit, industrial stagnation,
unemployment we refused to worry
about any of them until times got hard.
Good leadership, of course, is needed
But it isn't enough by itself
Governor Cross is dead right in point
ing out thai the rank and file in demo-
cracy have got to think for themselves.

OUR SMALL COLLEGES

(OMETIME in the next few years the
- nation will have decide more or less
finally what it intends to do about its
small colleges.
At present there are scores of them
little Institutions, in many cases in which
an enrolment of 200 students is usual.
Some of these colleges are very fine
places others are distinctly mediocre;
nearly all of them are finding it hard
to keep above water financially, and un-
less new support is Forthcoming many
will have to close their doors.
President Joseph E. Rowe of Clark
son College the other day remarked that
the situation Of the small college is not
unlike that in which the rural church re-
Gently found itself.
"A large number of poorly supported
churches in any community, in my opin-
ion, will not be so good an influence as
few that are well supported and well
attended, he said. The same argu-
ment applies to colleges
Dir. Rowe points out that in one west
ern state a single church denomination
supports five colleges. All are poverty
stricken, and several probably will have
to go out Of existence in the near future;
but if this leads the parent denomina-
tion to concentrate its efforts on one or
two colleges, it will be far from cal
amity.
The small college movement" he adds,
will produce most desirable results if
only it succeeds in diminishing the num-
Der of inefficient and low-grade small in
stitutions of learning"
This is sound sense. Fewer colleges,
and better ones; that, very likely, is
what we are coming to. Yet the thin
ning-out process will be rather hard to
watch.
A world of sentiment attaches itself
to the small college 1t is as typically
American as anything in existence. For
generations it has given tone to the
life of countless communities. Through
its doors have gone thousands upon
thousand of earnest, aspiring youngsters
from farm and village and city. Some
of them emerged really educated, and
some of them got only smattering of
education; but all came out little bit
better than they went in, and they have
been a profound influence in American
life
Probably we shall do well to cut down
the number of our colleges. But as the
weak ones dies they deserve a parting
salute. They have done great deal Tor
the nation.

INCREASE EFFORTS TO PROMOTE Use
OF DAIRY PRODUCTS IN this VALLEY

most of the cities require much
more daily.
Dairymen arc gratified to know
that butter consumption throughout
the state is picking up. During
August shipments of butter into the
Los Angeles market were 6000 900
pounds greater than for the same
month last year. and receipts in San
Francisco increased 10000 pounds
for that month In addition to this
increase in consumption cold stor-
age holdings of butter were reduced
about 60 per cent during the year,
which indicated that much of the
surplus butter in storage was eth
er sold or consumed.
The dairy condition is very much
improved. Within the last few
months increases in butterfat pri-
ces were augmented with later in
creases and the percentage of pro-
fits is still greater, due to the still
lower prices OF feed. The general
condition Of the dairy industry is
decidedly superior to most other
branches of agriculture, according
to the staff of the Ell Centro Cham
Der, and declines which have been
noted in prices have been small in
comparison with the reductions in
prices of feed grains bought by the
dairymen.
II is estimated that one pound
of butterfat will purchase about A
pounds of feed grains. on the basis
of September prices this year. while
in the pre-war period one pound of
butterfat would purchase only q
pounds Of feed grains, this rela-
tionship holding approximately, for
several years.
The more favorable condition this
year is due to the fact that while
butterfat prices have gone down to
about the pre-war level, grain phi
ces have gone tar below pre-war
levels. Such a relationship never
has lasted long in the past, how
ever. the favorable condition re-
sulting in heavier feeding, which
tended to increase butterfat produc-
ton, reduced the price of butterfat
and raised the price Of feed In
addition, the relative stability Of
milk consumption this year has pre-
Dented price declines of any such
proportions as have affected many
other farm products. such as wheat
or cotton.

UNCLE wIGGmY's TALL HAT

Uncle Wiggily could not be called

In fact, in one part of England,
at a school called Eaton, even little
rabbit boys wear tall, silk hats just
like the rabbit gentlemen and yet
no one calls them proud. The little
rabbit boys at Eaton have worn
these tall, silk hats for many years.
And as I have worn my silk hat

this one day as he hoped past a

PRE-BLOSSOM GRAPE SPRAY
Necessary for Control of Grape
Berry Moth and Other Insects

The necessity for applying the
pre-blossom spray at the period of
the vine growth when about 10 per
cent of the blossoms are out for
the control of the grape berry
moth and other insects, in addition
to serving as further protection
against black rot and all associat-
ed diseases, has ben called to the
attention of all grape growers in
Kent county by means of spray
notes which have been mailed this
week from the Office of county
agent Russell E. Wilson, who has
been conducting this vineyard
spray service for the past several
years in cooperation with DR.. T.F.
Manns, plant pathologist and soil
bacteriologist, and DR.. l.. A.
Stearns, entomologist, of the Della
ware experiment station. For this
application the growers have been
advised to use the 6-12-100 formula
for Bordeaux mixture, which con-
sists Of 6 pounds of bluestone and
IL pounds Of lime to 100 gallons of
water, to which also should be add
ed A pounds of powdered arsenate
of lead and 1 pint of fish oil as a
spreader for the spray mixture.
This spray should be followed with
another application Of the same
materials, which is known as the
after-blossom spray, just as soon
as the vines have passed the bios
soming stage as an additional pro-
lection against black rot and relat-
ed diseases, and such insect pests
as the berry-moth, leaf-folder, root
worm and Sose bug. Following the
after-blossom period, the next ap-
plication which is termed the 10
day spray calls for the use of the
same materials, and it should go
on just before the grapes touch
each other in the clusters, or when
they are about the size of garden
peas. If leaf-hoppers should be
prevalent at the time either of
these sprays are being applied, the
growers should add / pint Of nico-
tine sulphate (Black Leaf 40) to
each 100 gallons of spray solution.
In order to secure a satisfactory
control of these grape diseases and
insects it is very essential that the
vines and clusters be thoroughly
covered with spray material, and
this is true especially with refer
ence to the pre-blossom application
which is regarded as one of the
most important sprays during the
season.
