To-day-Jackie Cooper's star
ring vehicle, "Peck's Bad Boy"
while eminently suited to child
audiences, who readily understand
and appreciate the situations, the
picture is primarily directed at
adult audiences. The parent-child
relationship, which is receiving SO
much psychological study of late,
is herein treated in a new and in
teresting way. Although Thomas
Meighan, in the film, plays the role
of Jackie's foster father, Jackie is
ignorant of this fact and believes
him to be his own father. Jackie
has no mother. The relationship
between the boy and his foster
father has always been as close as
any ties of blood could be, and
each thoroughly enjoys the COM
panionship of the other. Into their
happy home come Jackie's aunt
and his cousin, played by Helen
Montgomery and Jackie Searle.
Then trouble starts The aunt
wants her son to have Jackie's
place in the Peck household and
both aunt and cousin do all in their
power to oust poor Jackie from
his home. After he is blamed for
mischief the other boy did, and
then is told by his cousin that
Thomas Meighan is not his real
father, Jackie feels unwanted and
unloved, and makes UP his mind to
leave home The solution of the
boys difficulties and the final re
conciliation bring laughter to end
the wistful loneliness of the small
boy whose world almost crashed
about his ears. Plenty of humor
is dispersed throughout the pic
ture.

before a group of farmers from
Sussex County. One farmer re-
piled that he could produce hogs
on Gull sweet potatoes as well as
anybody. This doubtless is true so
long as his Gull sweet potatoes
last. So can he produce pork on
garbage so long as the garbage
lasts. However, to produce pork
on a large scale it takes corn.
This is the reason why the bulk of
the hogs in Delaware are produced
on waste products and are produc-
ed only in such numbers as are
necessary for farm use. The read
er may say that the Corn Belt
farmer produces hogs at a low
cost but he is at large expense in
shipping hogs to the Eastern mar
kets, hereas the Delaware farmer
is within trucking distance of the
markets. Because of this high
cost of shipping live hogs from a
distance, few hogs are shipped ION
the hoof" The bulk of hogs are
slaughtered and processed in Chi
cago and other central points and
the dressed meats and lard are
shipped East. That is, the rela-
lively bulky live hog is processed
into a concentrated form on which
the transportation cost is relative
ly small. The economy of this
process may be Illustrated in the
case of a carload of paper where
thetransportation cost from north
ern Wisconsin to New York City
would be a relatively small part of
the value of the paper, whereas the
transportation cost between the
same points of the pulp logs from
which this paper is made would be
so great as to make the transac-
ton practically prohibitive. With
the opening-up of the Middle West,
then, the commercial hog industry
gradually moved from the East to
the Corn Belt. 1t has been said
repeatedly that Delaware farmers
would do well to utilize their waste
land by growing beef cattle. If
space would permit figures could
be presented which would show
that even if no charge were made
for the use of the pasture land
still Delaware farmers normally
would be producing beef at a loss
With the opening-up of the Corn
Belt with its cheap feed the beet
cattle industry gradually moved
from the East to the West.

DAIRY CATTLE
IN DELAWARE
r. o. Bausman Tell Why Del
aware Farmers Produce
Dairy Cattle
INSTEAD BEEF CATTLE

A Delaware meat packer recent
Nv stated that the majority of the
beef cattle and hogs which his
company slaughtered were shipped
in from the Middle West. He said
that he believed Delaware farmers
were passing-up an opportunity to
supply a god home market. Less
than half a century ago Delaware
produced large numbers of beef
cattle, hogs and sheep for COM
mercial markets. Recently on Wis
iting a farm in northern New Cas-
tie County an old brick building
which was fast falling to ruin was
visible in the background. The
owner of the farm said that this
building was formerly a slaughter
house. Some half century ago
large numbers of hogs were pro
duced and slaughtered on this
farm. Today beef cattle and sheep,
other than scattered small flocks,
are a rarity on Delaware farms
and hogs are produced largely for
consumption on the farm. In
Bulletin 100 entitled Economic
Readjustments in the Dairy Indus
try in Delaware" published by the
Delaware Agricultural Experiment
Station, it has been shown why the
beef cattle. sheep, and hog indus
tries in Delaware have been large
1y supplanted by the dairy indus
try. Due to freight costs and
other handling charges from the
Middle West to the Eastern mar
kets the price of corn in the Corn
Belt normally is about Is to 16
cents per bushel lower than in Del
aware. This makes it difficult for
the Delaware farmer normally to
compete with the Corn Belt farm
er in the production of pork for
commercial purposes. This state
ment was made a short time ago
