Milford chronicle., 1933-06-02
Election

Saturday last to say whether th
18th, Amendment should remain c
be repealed, those in favor of repe;
won out by majority of 3 to l.
The writer, who is a dry, has Ion
ago advocated a campaign of educa
tion and he believes that is the onl
way to win people away from usin
either liquor or beer.
The prohibiticnists have throw
away a period of fourteen year
which should have been used in ed
ucating the people.
They were drunk with power, bu
did not know how to use the powel
when in their hands for the best in
terests of the people at large; hence
the present outcome. Let the prea
chers get back in their pulpits anC
preach and act so as to reach the
hearts of women and men. Preach d
gospel Of love. We believe in this
way people can be taught to dc
without the stuff, also in this way
will be built up band OF women
and men who will aid in dispensing
those who are now engaged in the
illegal manufacture of bootleg liQu-
or. This is. the stuff that has been
making so many drunken drivers,
and corrupting the morals Of our
young people.
We don't know what the coming
of beer will do. We will wait and see
but we firmly believe by adopting a
campaign of education. more pro-
hibitionists will be made then Rev.
IvanhOe Willis and his band of cam
paigners of Wilmington with two
horns and drum made when MAX
ing whirlwind tour through the
State week or so ago.
Let us try a campaign of educa-
tion and watch the results.
Strawberry Market
The strawberry market here is
demoralized; not bringing in the
city markets enough to pay for
crates and picking.
The market here this (AIOnday)
morning is five cents per quart for
family use. but the price before the
end of the week no one can tell.
This is hard on the growers who
had to purchase fertilizer to grow
them and then allow them to rot on
the ground seems a shame. Then
the loss to the poor people who pick
them will be heavy; as they gener-
ally depend on this class of work
to secure the necessary funds to-
buy food and raiment.
Scarlet Clover Hay
Our fa f.raares hayo ahOIIf SIIpHpn6-
ed in harvesting one of the largest
crops of scarlet clover hay seen
here for several years. The weather
has been splendid and the hay looks
so bright and clean, and will go far
in feeding their stock this winter.
There doesn't seem to be any
market for clover hay this year.
Planting Corn
Planting corn is nearly done by
our farmers. The later crop will be |
planted sometime in June. What is
up looks fine and promises an album
dant crop. The recent advance in the
price of corn seems to have put new
life in our farmers and no doubt
they will try to take advantage by
planting larger crops. The farmers
certainly needs something to en-
courage them.
Soy Beans
Soy beans have been drug on the
market for the past year selling as
low as forty cents per bushel; far
lners had almost stopped raising
them as they would not sell for
enough to pay the cost of produc-
tion but for some reason, scarcity or
the price has advanced
rapidly and they are now offering as
high as $1.5O per bushel
Dwellings Completed
Chester Dickerson has his bunga-
low on the east end of Main street
about completed. We understand
that a house warming will take
place soon.
Robert II. Warren has completed
a large kitchen with all the latest
which will make it
fine for those who will have to pre-
pare the food for the family.
