Short talk by Mrs. M. c. Vaughn
, on beautifying our highways and

Hon. George Williams, president
of the State Board of Education, was
the speaker of the evening. He said
there were four agencies, namely the
parents, teachers, churches and
community at large, which will glad
ly do the best thing to help our
greatest assets-the boys and girls.
He. stressed the Importance of at
tendance at the Parent-Teacher
meetings as the only place to learn
how to best help them.
One way in which the State was
trying to help them was the spend
ing of seven million dollars in the
next year and half in the building
program.
Mr.. Williams used the White House
Conference as the basis for part of
his lecture. He said that every, child
has a physical, mental, and moral
side to be developed. Perhaps we
are somewhat neglecting the moral
side which acts as a proper balance,
for how can boys and girls make
the best use of their physical and
mental training without moral train
ing to guide them? Our schools are
not all suited to develop the special
talent of each pupil, education should
be suited to different personalities.

to learn their children.

ents our new system of keeping the
record of the pupil.

STATES LARGE
APPLE CROP
CContinued from First Page]


cuse handled around 40 cars, while
Buffalo, which sells and distributes
more fruits than any other city of
its size in the world, disposed of
only 221 carloads. Motor truck sup
plies to these points largely elimi-
mated any attempt to boost the re-
ceipts by rail. Baltimore, one of the
largest cities in the country, depen-
ded almost entirely on local prOduc-
tion out of Maryland, Virginia and
Delaware, getting its apnles both by
boat and rail and unloading only a
few more cars by rail than did Dali
las, Texas, which obtains its sup
plies entirely by rail.
The State of Washington supplied
more apples to the sc leading mar
kets than did any other State in the
Union, most of the fruit coming
from the famous Wenatchee district,
home of Jim" brands, Blue Goose
and others. The Washington fruit
comes in specially boxed containers,
often wrapped and of a superior
quality. National advertising has
done for Washington what no other
State can attain unless similar tao
tics are adopted in the near future.
1t has given that State the jump in
the apple monopoly and annually
brings millions of dollars to the
growers of that section blessed by
favorable winds and climate for the
industry.
While Delaware grows great sup
plies, it has not endeavored to reach
the distant rich markets of the
country and even of the world as
have its neighbors, Virginia and
Pennsylvania. Apples from the Win
chester Valley in Virginia may be
seen for sale in England Continen-
tai Europe and once they were seen
on sale in Japan, along with Amer
ican chocolate bars and chewing
gum.

Inasmuch as the county seat of

is that the county chairman and sec

Since 1929, there have been but two

MAKE ALFALFA SURVEY
In KENT COUNTY
[Continued from First Page7

=
evident that more farmers each
year are sowing alfalfa where soil
conditions are suitable to its
growth. This years survey in Kent
county which has been completed by
County Agent Russell E. Wilson in
dicates that 286 bushels of seed were
sold by the local dealers, and con-
sidering that alfalfa is sown at the
rate of about 20 pounds to the acre,
it has been estimated that apprOXi-
mately S58 acres were seeded in this
county during 1881. During the past
five years there have been 1S49 bus
hels of alfalfa seed used by Kent
county farmers, with a total of 5547
acres added to the legume acreage,
or an average of 1109 acres annually
for this entire period since 1927.
Due to the agricultural conditions
throughout the country, however,
the alfalfa acreage this year was
somewhat below the five-year aver
age, as many farmers had planned
to SOW few acres, but were pre-
vented from doing so on account of
shortage of money with which to
purchase seed. Under the existing
farming situation, and the market
prices for the majority of farm
crops, with special reference to corn
and wheat and many of our fruit
crops which are selling far below
the cost of production, it seems ad-
visable for those farmers who are
in need of hay for their dairy cattle
to seriously consider the growing of
enough alfalfa to meet their de-
mands, since greater profits per
acre are realized from alfalfa than
from any other crop.

BANKRUPT POLITICAL PARTY

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY is now engaged in a
1 nationwide campaign to raise $1,5OO,OO0 to
pay off obligations of the 1928 campaign and to
provide funds for the 1892 campaign The party
has been sorely embarrassed for the past three
years by the deficit of the 1928 campaign. Ma
tiOnal Chairman Raskob and few others of the
wealthy patrons have been slow TO meet the short
age and it is now necessary to appeal to the rank
and file for funds
The Democrat party has little to offer its
following This year it hopes to capitalize the
unpopularity of Hoover and accidently win the
presidency and the patronage that goes with it.
1t is on this contingency that it is hoping to
Wheedle the spare money from the pockets of the
hopeful office hunters.
The Democrat party is as bankrupt political
~ as it is in cash. 1t has nothing to offer to the
voter in the way of solution for the present
depression. All it has is condemnation It has
Joined with the Republicans in the enactment of
Of all the legislation that has helped to bring on
the present crisis. 1t offers no united program
of relief If placed in power it would continue
