II has been officially announced
by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration that the wheat
acreage for 1885 harvest on farms
under wheat allotment contract
shall be 90 per cent of the produc-
er's average annual acreage seeded
to wheat during the base years, ac-
cording to Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, secretary of the
Kent and Sussex County Wheat
Production Control Association,
and wheat administrator for these

duction which was required last
year of those farmers who signed

eral government. In regard to the

age under wheat allotment con-
tracts, according TO administra-
tive rulings received from the

Referendum Conducted On
Change of Time Opening
and Closing Schools
p A r E n is CONSULTED

A very interesting referendum
was conducted among the pupils in
our schools during the past week.
The subject under consideration
was whether our pupils and their
parents would be In favor of call
ing school at quarter Of nine in the
morning, instead of ten minutes of
nine, and having noon period of
which would permit US to dismiss
school at three-thirty instead of
four in the afternoon. Each pupil
was requested to consult with their
parents and vote accordingly. The
result of this referendum was that
out of a total of approximately five
hundred pupils who voted, 81 per
cent were in favor of this proposed
time arrangement. The reason for
this change is fourfold: About $50
pupils do not go to their homes for
the lunch period. Most of these
pupils come by school bus. Some
1--we as many as twelve miles from
the school and have as high as two
miles to walk after leaving the bus
before they reach their homes.
During the winter months, in many
instances it is dusk before they
reach home. By getting away
from school a half hour earlier, this

after flaying the New Deal from
stem to stern in his campaign.
In a remarkable speech a few
days ago, Senator Reed called for
q coalition of a different kind
a coalition Of conservatives OF
both parties to combat what he
considers the radicalism Of the
New Deal.
"Never Surrender"
Asserting that the "Old Guard
may die, but it will never surren,
der to such people" meaning the
more advanced New Dealers,
Senator Reed said:
eff our philosophy of pOliti-
cal life is to survive, we must
open the way for union with
those who believe as we do. We
have been separated too long by
artificial barriers from those
who think as we do. There Is
. vast body Of sane cOnServa-
tive Democrats who are aghast
At what is being done today in
the name Of their party. We
must make 1t possible for them
to unite with u.s."
No surrender there, no call for
"liberal reorganization but
rather an indirect bid for the
formation of conservative party
againts the liberals of both parties
who are supporting the Roosevelt
New Deal.
Senator William E. Borah, the
Idaho Lone Wolf, came back full
minating against certain of the
New Deal policies like NRA, and
charging shameless waste" in
administration of Federal relief,
but uncommunicative upon the
question of Republican reorganiza-
ton.
Others "Lie Low"
The other Republican Progress
Sives, men like Senators johnson
in California, Nye and Frazier in
North Dakota, La Toilette in Wis.
consin, McNary in Oregon, believe
the party must be reorganized
along more liberal lines as to
leadership. But they are for the
moment lying low to see what de.
velops. Quite generally, they sup.
ported Roosevelt policies in the
Seventy-Third Congress, and may
be expected to do so in the Seven
ty-Fourth.
Thus, the Republican minority
in the new Congress is split from
stem to stern. The old guarders
haven't much representation in
the Congress, but they are still in
control of the party machinery on
the outside, and calling for battle.
Vandenberg Opposed
Senator Vandenberg doesn't want
that kind of battle. He intimated
the G. o. P. nationally would do
well to adopt the Michigan brand
Of Republican liberalism, saying:
"The Republican party in
