! listing ceases and the unemployed
+ can find work and be able to buy the
/ produce which the farmer has tC
sell.
= 1t would be fine if all the taxes
assessed against real estate in
farming districts could be abolished
for the time being and allow the
farmers to get on their feet once
more.
The State with its immense revel
nue. being received from corpora
tions, automobiles, gasoline and
many other sources, could by re-
trenchment in every department,
help largely in bringing about
much lower taxes on real estate if
not abolishing them altogether in
the farming districts.
That people have been living too
high goes without saying, and many
of them have saved nothing when
the years were rich in every way.
! Now that the years have become
! lean and employment scarce they
don't seem to know how to get down
on the ground floor once more-the
/ outcome is that many have drifted
into ways which they should not go.
That depression exists everyone
! knows, and are feeling it. People
must learn to face facts as they
! now exist and live accordingly.
When it will end no one knows, but
those who are able should contri-
butte to enable those societies to
have ample funds to care for those
men, women and children who are
in want.
Let the politicians quit playing
politics at the expense of human
misery. Quit party differences for
the time being and legislate along
lines that will benefit not only the
farmer but others who are suffering
for the want of food. Let the Levy
Court of Sussex county take the
matter under advisement and see if
they can't be the first in the way of
retrenchment by reducing the taxes
so low that the farmers will be able
to pay and save their lands from be-
ihg sold for the payment of taxes.
Hllendale Markets
Strawberries and asparagus, home
grown are appearing on our mar
kets at very reasonable prices.
Twenty cents quart for strawber-
ries and twenty cents a bunch for
asparagus seems to be the prevail |
ing prices. This price seems very
low for these commodities at this
time of the year, and no doubt the
price for each will be much lower as
the season advances.
Trout, that most toothsome fish, |
is here in great number. Wagons
patrol our streets daily offering /
these splendid fish at very low |
prices. When the seines make larger |
hauls the price will be still lower |
and the farmer can be supplied with |
trout at price not over fifty cents
per bushel.
These fish when salted. make a
very satisfactory meal during the
winter season.
Scarlet Glover
Fields which have been sown in
this grade of clover, are presenting
scene of magnificent beauty.
The crimson heads and green
leaves and stems make something
worth going miles to see.
Many farmers SOW wheat with
their clover as it is said it makes
better hay and the stock seem to
relish it more. Scarlet clover makes
splendid food for cattle to eat, but
for horses it should be fed spaIing-
ly as some farmers have lost some
of their horses by Overfeeding this
kind of food
The hum of the mowers will soon
be heard as the farmers cut their
hay, cure it. and put it in the barn,
for future use.
The crop of clover hay will be
large this year and the price will be
low, like everything else which the
farmer has to sell.
