COCHRAN FLAYS
WORKS DELAY
Rr international NeNs serrIcs

BY International News Service
An appeal to President Roose-
welt to order full speed ahead on
the 100000 public works
program was made yesterday by
Representative Cochran CD Of
Missouri.
Cochran declared that Director
of the Budget Douglas is attempt
ing to delay the program on the
ground that it would interfere
with his budget balancing pro-
gram. Cochran said:
'T can conceive of no policy
that would be more destruc-
tive. 1 am afraid that il it
were announced to the country
that the public works program
Is to be held in allegiance it
would destroy a great deal Of
the confidence of the people"
Cochran said the only real crit
1cism he had heard of the Roose-
velt Administration was the di-
version Of funds from public
works program to retain the re-
forestation camps.
AS a result of "stop orders"
issued on public works projects
early in the Roosevelt Admin
istration, thousands Of people
have been deprived of employ
ment, he said. There are nearly
1000 Government public build
ings and similar projects on
which work can be started very

office.

SUSSEX MELON
CROP RUINED

FARMERS FEEL PINCH

With the watermelon season
practically over in Sussex county,
the farmers have realized only
about 80 per cent of a normal in
come from this crop. Those who
were fortunate enough to get their
melons on the market before the
storm and before the glut, receiv-
ed a fair price for their crop, but
only a small part of the local crop
was ready before that date. Many
of the melons remaining in the
field during the storm became di-
seased or sunburned, and many
farmers were unable to get into
their fields for a week or more af-
ter the storm to cut the melons.
The watermelons in Sussex county
this year were of unusually fine
quality, but due to conditions in
the city markets failed to bring a
good price. One farmer of near
Laurel, shipped a truck load of 400
melons, which netted him exactly
% cents after paying freight and
other expenses in connection with
the marketing. Another load of
25 melons netted the grower but 3
cents for the entire truck load. 1t
is expected that the smallest sweet
potato crop in many years will be
harvested this Fall. The acreage
planted to this crop was far be
low the average of former years,
and hundreds of acres were COM
pletely ruined by the food Many
acres are still under water. Prob
obly the worst damage to farm
crops was on the farm of NJ. z.

geous plan to start the ball rolling toward economic
recovery. Its sincerity is unquestioned Its objec

the President and his associates taking to make
it success, should stir the pride and admiration of
every American.
We are proud and glad to do part. And we are
deeply grateful the American people for the
patronage that has enabled to anticipate the
