the want of bread.
Farms are Deserted
A great many farms are either
deserted or the owners have sold
out. Land has cost the stump
ranchers anywhere from $50 to
$500 an acre. On top of this it
has cost the farmer from 500 to
$500 an acre to clear the stumps
off and get the land in tillable
condition. It has cost the farmer
anywhere from $500 to $1,000 for
his buildings, this usually takes a
greater part of his life TO accumu-
late.

FARMERS RALLY

hours. There were many ideas
brought out showing that the farm
ers had been giving very much
thought to this problem. Harold
Borg from Lunds Valley reported
that the farmers of his territory
had held meeting for the purpose
of discussing this matter and he
reported that by demanding a GER
tain price for the farmers produce
it could be remedied. P. J. Bar
rett briefly outlined the fighting
program of the U. F. L. also told
about the Is to 18 million unem-
ployed being without the means of
buying the cheap farm products at
this time, literally starving with
their families. Other farmers also
showed their willingness to even
to go as far as donating thewheat
and other products to the unem-
ployed and the starving workers in
the cities.
When the program of the u. F.
! L. on fighting the seizing of crops
and against evictions was brought
out the farmers showed their
warmest approval and many open
ly stated that they were ready 10
fight to hold enough grain fol
themselves so that they would moi
starve over the winter.
The discussion finally narrowed
to a decision to demand not less
than 81 per acre for expenses Of
harvesting the crop and also make
it known that If this was not got
ten the crops would not be har.
vested and that the farmers were
getting desperate and would use
mass action in getting their de
mands through.
A resolution committee of five
was appointed by the Chairman L
draw up a short resolution and 8
Telegram to be sent 30 Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde.
The militancy of this meeting
showed that the farmers are ready
to organize strong committees o.
action not only 10 fight evictioni
but to fight for the right to liv,
lby holding their foodstuff for win
tier. The only regret heard from
these farmers was that we shout,
have had at least 1000 farmer,
there.
We learned from this meetiny
that the United Farmers League
must with greater efforts thar
ever before build strong commit
tees of action in every township,
mass u. F. L. to fight the battle,
of the farmers in an organize,
way, class against class, worker,
and farmers against the capitals
class.

GAMERS MAKE SURVEY

Gamers of lower Delaware
are surveying the conditions
there with reference to their
proposed activities for the
late Summer and early Fall,
which are said to depend
much on the backing of finan-
cial institutions. 1t is report
ed that the tomato crop is
larger and better than the av-
erage yield of past years and
that the flavor of the veget-
able is excellent. Consequent
ly canneries are being groom
ed and cleaned and if sufficient
cash support is obtained lower
Delaware's unemployment
problem may not be troubling
again-at least for a consider
able time. If the canneries
are operated at capacity they
will offer good market for the
farmers and work for hun
dreds in the preserving pro-
cesses, and give a new slim
ulus to agriculturists and tc
the wage workers of Sussex
and Kent.

it required two OF three
months lover land) that was

and daring post riders. Prior
to 100 years ago, after the
Post Office Department had
come under the direction Of
Benjamin Franklin it requir-
ed almost a week to get a let

the answer and the postage
paid by the recipient was four
or five times as much as that
of today. The development Of
our government in the last
century and a half has been
one of the wonders ofgmodern

they could to assure his renomina-
ton. General Ellison expressed his
surprise at their action, but made
no statement as to his own future
political course.
Expect Others to Be Released
When asked as to his attitude
today, following the change Of his
field workers, General Ellison would
not make any statement In polit-
ical circles it was said he was ex-
pected to release others of his ad-
herents from any further obliga-
tion of following him. Mayor
Sparks, chairman of the Republi-
can First District (City) Commit
te, replied yesterday to reports
that he would announce himself as
supporting Governor Buck for re-
nomination on the Republican
ticket with the terse statement II
am a Republican" Political lead
ers expressed the opinion yesterday
that a majority of city committee
as well as the ward chairman
favor support Of Governor Buck
and that in the near future a mo-
tion will be placed before the com
mittee to set the committee on
record as being in support of Gov
ernor Buck in his campaign for re-
nomination.
New Leadership RumOred
According to reports in Republi-
can circles, with the city organi-
zation getting in line behind Gov
ernor Buck, there will be a new
field leadership to conduct the
campaign for the Republican com
mittees. 1t is said that Frank w.
Pierson will become the active
leader in Wilmington, and that
former State Senator Darlington
Finn, of near Marshallton, will be-
come the active leader for rural
New Castle county. Both are
staunch supporters of Governor
Buck 1t is expected that most Of
the delegates to be elected in Will
mington and rural New Castle
county will be for Governor Buck
and that he will have the support
of most of those from Kent coun-
ty. Should former Senator Short
continue as a candidate for Gov
ernor, it is expected that the Sus-
sex county delegation will be divid-
ed. In all probability there will be
a new distribution of the Congress
sional and State Office nominations
should Governor Buck be renomi-
mated. While Congressman Robert
G Houston is a candidate for an
other term, friends of former Gov
ernor Simeon S. Pennewil, of DO
yer, are urging him as candidate
for Congress. Congressman Hous-
ton, who was in Wilmington yes.
