From Poultry and Eggs
At $4,OOO,OOO In State.

Improved prices for farm products
in Delaware and better outlook for
the agriculture situation generally
in this State was reported on Tues

Reviewing farm conditions in 1885,
Wilson told the National Association
of Commissioners. Secretaries and
DEPARTMENTS Of Agriculture at the
18th annual session held In Wash
ington, d. c., that:
MIX Problem
Eve feel that one Of the greatest
immediate problems facing agricul-
ture in Delaware, at least, is the
milk situation.
"There is a strong indication
among the farmers that more con-
sideration should be shown the milk
producer. We sincerely hope that in
the near future, it will be possible
to put into effect uniform regulations
governing the production Of milk,
and that the problem Of surplus milk
can be adjusted so that market for
the surplus can be established that
will not come into direct competition
with the regular fluid milk market.
Wilson said both wheat and corn
Yields in Delaware had been good.
"The prices received during the
past two years have been better and
have encouraged the grain growers
to some extent" Wilson said.
Frait Situation Not Good
The secretary painted less opti-
mistic picture for the fruit growers
foweFes saving that while The apnle-
crop ii 1895 was good, the prices re-
ceiyed we're 80 low that many Of the
growers made no profits.
Wilson estimated 1885 income
from poultry and eggs in the State
at s4,000.O00.
