SOybean In Drought Year
Breaks All Crop Records


While other grain, seed, and for-
age crops we're setting all-time low
crop records, the soybean IN 1884
set new high records In acres plant
ed, IN acreage cut for hay, and in
bushels Of beans harvested. In the
last 10 years the harvested produce
ton Of soybeans has more than
tripled, jumping from 5000, 900 bush
els IN 1926 70 more than 15,000.00O
bushels IN 1881 and up to nearly
1S,000,O0 bushels IN 1884.
Reports Of the United States De-
partfnent OF Agriculture set the es-
innate for the 1894 crop al 17,f62,-
900 bushels as compared with H.
$4,000 bushels IN 1888 and 13,121,-
900 bushels IN 1882. The 1884 gain
over 1888 amounted to more than s.
100000 bushels IN Illinois, about
100000 bushels in Indiana, 100000
bushels In Iowa, and 100000 bushels
in the Southern States.
In addition to the great increase
in bushels Of soybeans harvested,
more than 100000 acres were cut
green for hay, compared with ap-
proximately 100000 acres in both
1882 and 1888. OF the 1884 total, D.
272,000 acres were cut in the North
Central States-where all the in
crease was made-tO supplement
the shortage Of other hays.
The soybean. acreage for 1884 was
4,1O7 900 acres planted alone and
6S6,O0O acres planted between corn
rows in the Southern States, as COM
pared with 2,742,O0O acres planted
alone and 62S, 1000 acres in the corn
in 1888. Besides the harvested beans
and the hay, about 100000 acres Of
sOybeahs with an equivalent pro-
duction of over 100000 bushels Of
beans have been grazed of by live
stock in the Southern States in each
Of the past three years.
In 1884, the total acreage OF this
recently Americanized Oriental bean
exceeded the acreage of such long
crops as rye, buckwheat,
rice, peanuts, potatoes, and tobacco.
But new demands for soybeans for
food and feed uses seem
10 be increasing even, more rapidly

HUDSON K ROADS
(Near ROxanal

The great storm Of last week Gre
ated most beautiful pictures in Del
aware, the present generation ever
saw. The great ice crystals which
covered all outdoors, and weighted
each tree or shrub, was a fairy
vision; but the heavy fall of snow
with penetrating zero cold, brought
conditions the people will never for
get. Broken trees, snow banks, and
lmpassable roads, compelling heroic
work to reopen traffic.
There was practically no social
visiting; necessity was the compelI-
ing force for all travel from the be-
ginning Of the storm up to the end
OF this week.
Next neighbors found it diff
ncuit to get to neighbOrs, and when
made, there was a cause for the trim.
The sick are recovering from bad
eolas' so the great storm may have
been helpful; let's hope so.
Amos Hudson has been transfer
red to the Indian River Coast Guard
Station near Bethany Beach.
The storm prevented services last
Sunday al sveeral rural churches.
The homes in this part Of Sussex
are close together, and concrete
roads so numerous, the people lust
neighborly visit regardless Of the
weather; so a blizzard can't stop the
boys and girls from those nice eve
ming or afternoon calls.

Economic Highlights

According to the old saying, ".The
mills Of the gods grind slowly-but
they grind exceedingly flne. ~,
That adage can be accurately ap-
piled TO the present Congress, as it
considers the Presidents new recov-
cry and relief program. It is NOV
ing slowly, it is talking a good dpal,
and it is gradually grinding out leg
/ islatiOn toward the two PRINCIPAL
projects Of the White House-social
security, and an unprecedently vast
public works program, designed to
eliminate the dole.
The public works program is of
the most immediate interest. It will
cost $4,O00,OOO, 900 = the largest
draft ever drawn against the United
States Treasury for any single pur-
pose. It will put about S,5O9, 900 men
to work directly. And, IL the Presi-
dents hopes materialize, it will put
another 3,50O,000 to work indirectly,
in jobs created by the spending pow
er of the first 3,50Q,0OO.
Equally important are the prom
ised principles upon which the pro-
gram is predicated. All work is to
be useful, in that in will either per-
manently improve living conditions
or create new wealth. Pay for work
ers will be above the present dole"
leVel-but will be low enough so
that the men employed will still
keep an eye out for jobs in private
business. Projects will be selected
so as to use the largest possible
amount of labor for the money
spent. The money will be allocated
on the basis of the greatest need
that is, state which has 20 per
cent of its people on relief will get
more than a state which has but
ten per cent on relief. It Is said the
public works program will avoid
competition with private enterprise,
which is iustifiably jittery about
activities in the indus
trial field.
The list Of possible public works
has not been completed, but NUM-
ber are known. Public buildings
will be one. Bridge building will be !
another. Soil conservation and san
tation will come in for their share,
rs will tunnels, flood dams and for
sst conservation. Road building will
naturally be near the head Of the
list.
There was considerable iissatis-
action in Congress- over the fact
hat the President wants the public
works money under his control
wanted to distribute 1t
themselves. However, this idea
ieems to be definitely out-alloca-
ion of funds will be In the jurisdic-
ion Of the White House. through a
loard appointed by the President.
So far as the social security pro-
ram Is coIcerned, Il is finding ra-
her hard going. Il seems that every
has his own idea as to ,
Ow the i'll, the aged and the unem- !
l0yed should be aided-2there is
