Beans A Treasure
Crop In SUSSEX

Earnest effort and willingness to
take chances is a large part of sue
cessful farming, and this fact has
been demonstrated by several men
in Sussex county within the recent
era of changed policies of planting
crops on farms. Not only moderate
success. but extra ordinary results
have followed efforts of Charles
Reed of Slaughter Neck and John
S. Isaacs, late Receiver of Taxes for
Sussex county, residing in Prime
Hook Neck. where he has this sea-
son followed planting peas and lima
beans for canning in the canneries
of this section. Charles Reed ten
years ago forsook dairying and
planted peas and beans on his sew
eral farms. from which net cash
ranging from five to ten thousand
dollars each year resulted; leaving
him large profits.
This year John S. Isaacs has
about 200 acres planted in these
modern day crops, and on his farm
near halfway between Milford and
Milton, he has a crop of beans. said
to be the largest and best in Sussex
county. from which he expects to Ie-
ceive from the Gamers between $S.-
900 and $4,000 in 1884. 1t requires
careful study, plenty of ambition.
and just business common sense to
be successful at farming in Sussex.
Every man is not capable of ac-
such results as either
Charles Reed or John Isaacs have
made at farming; for the very ex-
cellent reason they lack some or all
of the qualifications.

Parents Haze Duty
To School Children
Child Needs Psychologist And Physi-
cal Preparation

The major and minor defects
found in the physical. mental and
emotional makeup of the large ar
my of children entering school each
fall are necessarily saddening. but
the real cause for sorrow. DR.. Lous
c. Schroeder points out in an article
in a recent issue of Hygeia on "Get-
ting the Child Ready for School," is
the fact that such a comparatively
small percentage of mothers know
that many of these defects could
have been prevented by periodic
health examinations.
II certainly is not to Americas
credit that so many of her families
will run their automobiles into ser
vice stations at regular intervals.
but will trust to luck when their
children's health is concerned. This
condition cannot be laid to a lack
of money, for there is provision in
nearly every community for the ex-
animation of children practically
free of charge. If parents would
talk the matter over with the fam
lily physician. they would be sur
prised TO learn how far he will go
to meet their wishes and how little
they will have to allow in their bud
gets for periodic health examina-
tions.
The child should also be prepared
psychologically for school by not
being made to show off, if he is
bright. by being given opportunities
to develop his self-cOnfidence if he
is bashful and by being shown pa
tience if he is slow to learn.

l Certainly if that were
- being done this year
the garden of Mrs. William Jones
on East Front Street. South Mil

winners. At this time it is
riot of color from the pale shades
TO the flaming ones. And It is
hardly necessary to mention
that ii is her pride and joy. A
rather formal planting is in the
front yard, where shrubs, ever
greens and lovely weerEng
willow are found. with a darling
low white fence keeping them i'm
their places. In the rear,
though. are the flowers. of most
any kind. surrounding a rockery.
On the rockery keeping watch is
lighthouse built by Mr.. Jones
in his spare moments. And like
seminal over all stands a
bright summer poinsetta. Pass
ersby must have enjoyed this .
garden all summer because of
the SNOWY flowers and the neat
ness that abOunds everywhere.

that are lovely. too. Folks out

Washington, Aug. 2s.-(R-Donald
r. Richberg reported to President
Roosevelt Wednesday that farm prices
have risen to within per cent Of the
famous "pre-war parity" which the
administration has been straining to
reach.
The head of the presidents execu-
tive council made plain that his fig
ures include benefit payments re-
ceived by farmers through the AAA.
He also stressed that the drouth
slashed some major crops and there
fore the high prices do not mean a
fully corresponding increase in farm
income"
He warned that for complete farm
recovery 1T is essential that there be
more Of revival in industrial pro-
auction and more extensive re-em-
ployment." In his first report, last
Sunday, Richberg claimed marked in
dustrial gains. and in particular, the
unemployment of 100000 persons.
The report also declared:
l. Farm income for 1894 appears
likely to exceed 1888 by about 10 per
cent.
2. Rental and benefit payments
made to farmers totaled 1911 900 900
between August. 1888, and June, 1894.
3. Farm income aggregated $685.
C00.000 for 1884 as compared with
1881 200, 900 for 1928.
1. SURPRISES of major crops have
been cut to about normal but the
drouth has laid the basis for new sur
pluses. Control Of crops should con-
tinue.
5. Richberg agencies now sold more
than Is per cent Of all farm deht as
compared with l2.l per cent at the
beginning of 1890.
Richberg first noted that the AAA
is the agency charged with response
bility Of restoring the equitable bal
ance between the price Of things the
farmers sell and the price Of things
the farmer buys"
