the best hay crop that can be pro-
duced, and also considering the
fact that the dry weather during
the past two years has materially
reuced the quantity of hay in this
country, there is every reason to
believe that alfalfa will remain a
paying crop for many years to
come. AS the recommended date
for seding alfalfa in this area is
during the last two weeks in Aug
ust, it is reasonable to assume that
practically all of the acreage for
this year has been seeded, and in
the event we should be favored
with suitable weather conditions
for its growth before winter ar
rives it is expected that next
spring will find Kent county with
several hundred additional acres of
this legume ready to be cut for
feed or sold as a cash crop. An
effort has been made by the coun-
ty agent in cooperation with the
local seed dealers to encourage the
farmers to use the Kansas-Ne-
braska or northwestern grown
seed, as demonstrations and field
observations in the past have
shown this strain of alfalfa to be
the best adapted to this section

the packers and growers"

If the great masses of the
farmers are going to get any
where, declares The Morning
News, "they will have to do
it through their own leader
ship and organizations. But
it is not easy to put so large
a body of individuals in mo-
ton as a concrete association.
"For instance, an article on
milk in New York shows that
the consumer is paying fifteen
cents a quart for milk, while
the farmers get between two
and three cents a quart for
milk. Why is this? Why
should there be so large a
margin between what the
consumer pays? An investi-
cation by a farm body show
ed that the milk could not be
produced for the figure men
toned.
'"The wide margin between
the producer and consumer is
common to most other prod
ucts Of the farmers. There
seems to be no sensible and
sane method Of distribution.
And there will not be so long
as certain forces look upon
the farmers as their legiti-
mate prey.
"a letter in one Of the In
dianapolis newspapers declar-
es that while the prices Of
farm products are lower than
for years things that the
farmer must buy have not
dropped much. The writer Of
the letter mentions specifical-
Wy farm machinery which, he
says, has not dropped in price.
"a peculiar thing about it
is that the chief Of one Of the
greatest manufacturing con
Germs Of farm machinery
headed the Farm Board,
though he has quit that body.
So far as we know there were
no suggestions Of reducing
the price Of farm machinery.

INCREASE IN ALFALFA
Year BY Year 1t is Becoming More
Profitable Crop With Farmers

Although it is too early at this
time Of the year to estimate the
total acreage that has been seeded
to alfalfa in Kent county this sum
mer, in all probability the survey
Of the total seed sales which will
be made within the next month by
county agent Russell p. Wilson
will indicate that several hundred
acres Of this legume have been
added to this county as the result
Of the continued increased interest
among the farmers in raising this
crop for hay purposes. A cam
paign for more and better alfalfa
on our Delaware farms has been
one Of the major projects in the
program of work Of the agricul-
tural extension service in each
county during the past four years,
for it Is the opinion Of extension
agents and leading farmers
throughout the state that greater
profits per acre may be realized
from alfalfa than from any other
crop. This is true especially un-
der the present agricultural con
ditions, and the future market
prices for the majority Of our
farm crops, with particular refer
ence to corn and wheat and many
of our fruits which are selling far
below the cost Of production. The
chief expense in growing alfalfa 5
incurre at the seeding period, but
after the crop has become we'll es-
! tablished the cost of producing
this hay in comparison with the
value received per acre is much
lower than that Of the major por-
tion of our other farm crops in
this section Of the country. These
facts have resulted in a strong
tendency for farmers in all parts
Of the United States to turn to al

Every Evening: "Six thous-
and acres of peach orchards
will be destroyed and put out
of commission in California
during the present Autumn
as a step toward the readjust-
ment of the law Of supply and
demand. The big Gamers of
the state are backing the
movement in the hope of ell
iminating the yearly problem
of oversupply. They have
taken the initiative in the
matter and are allowing the
orchardists a portion Of the
value Of peaches left unpicked
on the trees. This year, how
ever, the Gamers are further
uniting in the fight against
overstocked markets by also
allowing orchardists part Of
the value Of the trees to be
uprooted.
1T had ben planned to de-
stroy $4,000 acres Of peach

Summer reduced the yield and

'The experience Of the can

Golden State is not unlike
that Of our own early growers

correctly, however, after Del

the unfortunate handicap OF

VALUE OF COOPERATION

What cooperatives can do
for the farmer is well exeem-
plified by the Dairyman's
League Cooperative Associa-
ton, a pioneer in the far cas-
tern field
All activities of the Associa-
ton, according to F. HI. Sex
auer, it's president, center on
the idea of equitable returns to
its members, and assured and
protected markets. AS a result,
the volume of milk sold and
handled by the association dur
ing 1880, in spite of depression
and decreased consumption,
was well in excess of the pre-
vious year. The Associations
membership increased by sever
al thousand, bringing the total
to nearly $4,000. At the end
of ten years of operation the
Association has 239 plants,
handling a vast volume OF
dairy products.
The dairy industry, Mr..
Sexauer said, must look for
ward to lower prices for it's pro-
ducts for several years in the
furture. To meet this situation
there must be greater produc-
ing economy and cooperation
between three groups, the
cooperative, the independent
dairman and the distributor.
They must work together, I'M
selfishly, for the benefit Of the
industry as a whole if success
is to be achieved. The
banker, the minister, the teach
er, the merchant, everyone
with an interest in American
prosperity, must be affected,
for good or ill, by conditions
within the dairy industry.
What one cooperative hes
done and is doing, other cooper
atives in other localities can
do. Only through cooperation
can a stable market and a fair
price be assured. The Dairy
mems League, and similar enter.
prises, have pointed the way
that leads toward sound agri-
cultural development.

spontaneously. If a burnt odor
become noticeable, try to locate
the fire pocket which has form
ed somewhere within the NOV.
This can be done by boring into
the hay in different places with
a hollow steel rod or tube pro-
vided with a sharp cutting edge.
II a section of the tube is very
hot when removed and the core
of hay in it appears burned,
this indicates a fire pocket. In
case of a fire pocket, remove
the hay at once, but first pro-
vide fire extinguishing apparat-
us or water, as there is always
danger that the sudden admis-
sion of air to the pocket may
cause flames to break out.

METALS NECESSARY TO
CIVILIZATION

The past history of the world is
largely history of minerals. The
countries with an abundant, readily
accessible supply of metals, precious
and base, have been the countries in
which industrial progress has been
greatest.
Future history is not likely to be
greatly different. Every year shows
industry manifesting larger need
for metals. Cooper, silver, zinc,
lead and others are essential to the
functioning of our civilization.
1t is for this reason that Western
mining, in spite of its present plight,
is able to look forward to more
prosperous future. Renewed indus
trial activity will bring with it re-
newed demand for mine products.

w THAT a pleasant surprise for
M busy housewives to know that
w at last they may make velvety
smooth ice cream without having to
crank freezer
This new method gives you deli
ciously smooth ice cream with only
one cup Of cream to two Of milk. The
secret lies in the use Of a small amount
of quick cooking tapioca, which pre-
vents the formation of unpleasant ice
crystals. This makes it possible to use
more milk and less cream in mix
ture to be frozen without stirring.
Straining the tapioca as the recipes
direct removes all traces of tapioca
globules.
Owners of mechanical refrigerators
simply prepare the mixture, set their
refrigerator control for freezing des-
serts, and forget about it until the
freezing is complete. Housewives who
do not own mechanical refrigerators
turn mixture into a tightly covered
container pack in ice and salt, and
leave it to freeze.

HOUSEWIVES who have been

HOUSEWIVES who have been
IL stocking up their shelves
with canned tomatoes, in these
days when solid pack tomatoes of
fancy grade cost little less than
one used to pay for the other
grades, will find ample use for
them in summer dishes even
though they serve fresh tomatoes
generously. You can probably get
more different dishes from toma-
toes than any other one vegetable
excepting potatoes. And summer
tomato dishes are very different
from winter ones.
For example, chilled tomato
soupL should be served often on
the summer menu, because while
they are a delicacy as far as taste
is concerned, the vitamins they
contain are a real essential to
health. Tomato bisques are also
excellent for a first course Of
meals consisting of cold meats and
salads. And tomato cocktails bid
fair to be more popular than ever
this summer, since so many new
recipes have been devised for
concocting them.

And the burdens we all have
