"DOWn On the Farm"
Army worms are attacking corn
fields and practically destroying
them near Lewes and Coolspring.
About the only known way to fight
the pest is to dig a deep trench
across their line of approach about
Is or 20 inches deep, which in many
cases soon become filled with wrig-
ling worms.
The English pea crop in this COM
munity is practically a failure as far
as commercial purposes is concern
ed. One of the large growers near
Lewes, Ferris Wilson, plowed his 20
acre pea crop under without har-
vesting any with an expense of 500
per acre for seed and fertilizer.
On to Washington
One of the many things that is de-
manding the attention of the whole
country at present is the arrival of
the Bonus Army" in Washington,
D. c., promising to stay there until
they get their bonus in full. What
does the government owe them for
just now? The amount paid in past
relief pensions and bonus would
stagger the imagination. No one
has the slightest wish or desire to
detract from their courage and valor
shown on a hundred battlefields in
France, but from all outward ap-
pearances this country is in a more
serious predicament than it was dur
ing the World War. Congress and
the President are making every ef-
fort to balance the budget by piling
on more taxes as we are shortly to
learn. Uncle Sans financial vehicle
seems to be hopelessly in the mire
of debt. If the former American
doughboy is as good citizen as he
was soldier he will not add to this
country's debt by piling on another
load of two billions of
dollars. If this country ever ex-
poets to get out of this sea of mire,
debt, and dependency, it must be on
the safe road of economy and conf
dence. More debts will not create
Political Pots Beginning to Boil
All eyes and ears will be centered
on Chicago for the coming two
weeks as both of the great political
parties Will hold their national con-
ventions in that city. 1t seems to be
a foregone conclusion that the Pres

ter how deep down in his party's |
heart they would like to put him |
aside, tradition and custom demands |
hat the unfortunate Mr.. Hoover be |
To repudiate him the
party must also do the |
same thing for itself.
The Democrat party has suffered |
some crushing and demoralizing de-
'eats in the last decade, One could
hardly believe they would ever be
able to organize to hold a national

'umed an aggressive attitude and

wen terms for the first time in a
lecade with their old advisory. If
We are to judge the future by the

Dast panics and depressions the

wave.
And then again it may be the old
