If it hadn't been for this deliberate

far worse than it actually is. There
has been no need for a new cattle-buy-

least-the farmers have been able to
dispose of their stock to the packing
houses at a reasonable price. The
feed-buying program is expected to
enable them to protect themselves
from being forced to sell at a great

TIRED AND FOUND WANTING

Anyone unacquainted with the his
tory of electrical development in the
United States. and listening TO the
arguments Of municipal ownership
advocates, can very easily get the
idea that municipal power plants
have never been given a fair trial.
As a matter of fact. municipal
ownership of power has been given
a thorough trial. and under all con-
ditiOns. Many of the first power
plants were community iwned.
Here are some enlightening statis-
tics: In 1924. there were 3,O40 mu-
nicipal power plants in the United
States. Between 1924 and 1933-the
last year for which official figures
are available-27O plants were built,
making total of 1910 plants that
existed during the decade.
Yet, at the beginning of 1893. there
were only 1.S49 municipal plants in
operation. In other words, between
1924 and 1888. 1.461 municipal plants
went out of business for one reason
or another.
The various reasons 70 rthis are
not difficult to find. Many municipal
plants being small and necessarily
localized. gave bad and uncertain
service, and the voters decided to
dispose of them and take better SER
vice from private utilities. Other
plants charged high rates. and so
were discarded. Others sustained
heavy deficits which the taxpayers
got tired of making up. So il went. |
with municipal plants all over the
country unable to meet the standards
by private companies.
Municipal plants are still decreas-
ng in number. in spite of an aggres-
live and sustained drive to fOist them
ln the public. The statistics prove
hat they have been tried and found
wanting

FRANKNESS ABOUT
RECOVERY FAILURE

The President is quite competent
no doubt to take care of himself and
has not asked for guidance. but there
are not lacking many who believe he
is making a great mistake in not
frankly admitting failure of the re-
cOvery program
What a wonderful thing it would
be. how he would stand out among
the greater men who have held the
high office. were the President to
come out frankly! How the people
would respond. it would be difficult
to say. for such a thing has never
been done. 1t would electrify if,
when the pleasing radio voice came
over next time. the President were to
say his Administration did the best
it could. honestly tried to make a
go of it. spent the peoples money,
repudiated many promises because
they could not he kept. and now ad-
mits il has failed. but is glad that de-
spite all the country is recovering.

failure when. in his taxation mes

One-sixth the population of the

KENT COUNTY
DIRT ROADS IN
GOOD CONDITION
[Confinned from First Pagel

The transfer of the dirt roads to
the Highway Department was a part
of the tax reducing program of the
Republican State administration
during the 1885 session of the Gen
eTal Assembly.
During this session another law
passed by the Republican majority
provided for the tax rate in Kent
county to be not in excess of forty
cents on the one hundred dollars Of
assessed valuation. Thus when land
owners in the county receive their
tax bills, they will observe that the
cost of their county government has
been greatly reduced through the
aid of this Republican program.
The procuring of these material
advantages through Republican aid,
is expected to be of assistance to
the Kent county Republicans in
their drive to elect their county tic
ket this year. Many benefits have
been derived by the citizens of the
through this reduced taxation
and il is thought the voters will be
anxious to receive some more ben
efits of this type and that they will
support the Republican candidates
because of their previous records
made during the last session of the
legislature.

KENT FARMERS OFFERED
ORCHARD SPRAY NOTES
Combined from FirN Page1

TCOHfiHHPd from First Page
The spray notes which were dis
tributed within the past few days
pertained to the petal-fall spray for
apples and the shuck spray for pea
ches. Some of the early blooming
varieties of apples are now in the
petal-fall stage, and other varieties
will follow during the next few
days so growers should take advan-
tage of any favorable weather for
applying the petal-fall spray.
For this application it has been
suggested that growers use the liq-
uid lime sulphur gallons, arscnate
of lead pounds. and hydrated lime
5 pounds to 100 gallons of water,
or Bordeaux mixture of 4-S-lOO
formula. This spray should he COM
pleted before the CalyX lobes have
closed. Wettable sulphurs are not
recommended for this spray because
of threatening scab infection and
below average temperature cOndi-
tiOns.
With reference to peaches, DR..
Adams has advised that for the
shuck spray the growers should use
a wettable sulphur with pounds of
arsenate of lead. 4 pounds of zinc
sulphate and pounds of hydrated
lime to each 100 gallons of diluted
spray. The shuck stage in peaches
is when one-half of the peach is eX-
posed by the slipping of the shuck.
DR.. l.. A. Stearns, entOmoloGist at
the Delaware experiment station, re-
ports no particular increase in cur
culio emergence UP to May l, but I
their progressive emergence will he
rapid with the return of normal and
more settled weather conditions.
Those fruit growers in Kent coun-
ty who are not receiving this or
cbard spray service are requested to
get in touch with the county extern
sion office where their names Will
be placed on the mailing list.

EXPLOITING HUMAN NEED

WPA is the most eXtravagant kind
Oi relief conceivable. Of the vast
sums spent by WPA many dollars dc
not go to the needy at all. but for
administration. overhead, materials
on makeshift projects, most of which
are useless. and some of which are
plain foolish.
WPA is tainted with spokesman
ship. favOritism and partisan politics.
Who runs the WPA, anyway?
Who gets the $S5 and the $95 jobs,
as compared to the $55 jobs?
Who supplies the materials and
equipment used?
Are all the names ON the pay rolls
genuine?
Many WPA workers complain that
they are dOcked without cause, some
times as much as $50 a month. II
so. who gets the money?
Is it true that needy Republicans
are Disseminated against? Is it true
that workers are being solicited,
even forced, to contribute to Demo-
cratic political funds? Mr.. Hopkins
has announced that no workers ARE
required" to contribute. If he is
really honest and sincere, why does
he not issue an order that none of
these needy workers shall be allow
ed to contribute to political funds of
any sort?
Signs multiply that WPA is the
biggest and the most unjust political
racket this country has ever seen.
1t should be cleansed, or it should
be stopped. Congress should inves-
tigate it at once. Persons found
guilty of exploiting human need for
partisan political ends should be
punished.-ChicagO News.
