GOVERNOR BUCK
CONFERS With
STATE FARMERS
[COntiHued from First PaStl

! lNOHttHuCd JTOm EHSI E0Ael
other public assemblages of farmers
and if the sentiment developed al
these gatherings should warrant il
the Governor should be petitiOned
to present the views of the farmers
to the administrator of the CWA and
direct relief funds in Washington
and also to have the situation
brought to the attention of the Gen
eral Assembly when it cOnvenes
next month.
The conference, which was held
in the Offices of the Governor, was
called at the requests of many per-
sons interested in agricultural pur-
suits throughout Delaware. The pur-
pose was the consideration of farm
labor, especially as il has been af-
fected by relief measures now being
administered by the State Temper
airy Emergency Relief Commission
either by direct relief or through
CWA projects. 1t was the general
feeling expressed by most of those
present that something must be done
in relation to this matter before time
for the spring planting on the farms
so that the farmers may know what
to expect in the way of labor sup
ply before they make their plans for
the crops.
1t was said by the farm represen-
tatives that if the people are to be
supplied with food it is evident the
farmer cannot compete with the
public purse until it is materially
tightened or there is refund and
substantial rise in the prices of the
commodities the farmers raise.
Another side of the situation was
developed by the position being TAX
en- by persons on the direct relief
rolls that they cannot accept en-
ployment on farms as by so doing
they will be removed from the direct
relief lists and left to their own re-
sources when the warm work fails.
While no action was taken at the
il is understood pos
sible solution to be considered will
he the discOntinuance of all PWA +
and CWA and other relief projects
in the sections where they are COM
peting with the farmers in the en-
ployment of labor so that the farm .
ers would be able to secure suffi- +,
cient workers.
Former Governor Robert P. Rob-
inson. treasurer of the National
Grange and master of the State
Grange. when the conference of
farmers with Governor Buck in Do
yer was called to his attention stat
I'd he was not sufficiently familiar
With the subject to make any state
ment about it. He said that the prob
em of labor supply for the farmers
IS a serious one but he was not fa-
miliar with remedial proposals that
have been made or what the farm
plan to do in the
premises.

little quick cooperation to secure the
enactment of the most practical and
far-reaching national legislation for
their benefit ever presented to Con-
gress."
The United States Senate has pas
sed the three bills. known as Senate
bill 2277. establishing fish and game
sanctuaries- in national forests and
on the public domain with State ap-
proval; Senate Bill 2529, coordinat-
ing the activities of all departments
of the government in conserving
wild life; and Senate Bill 2633, the
Duck Stamp Bill, providing revenue
for the purchase and maintenance
of sanctuaries. 1t is emphasized that
none of these bills calls for the eX-
penditure of Federal money.
The fact is being stressed that, al
though the three bills have the sup
port of the great majority of the
members of Congress, the danger of
defeat comes from a crowded House
calendar which might prevent action
unless interest sufficient to bring the
bills before the House of Represen-
tatiyes is shown.
In view of the urgency OF the sit
uation, the sportsmen Of Delaware
are being requised to write Con-
gressman Wilbur L. Adams to assist
in the matter.
