vocational agriculture room, Milford
high school.
AT the meeting of the county pro-
gram planning committee, which
was held in Dover a few weeks ago,
this group of representative farm
ers discussed those economic factors
which affect any proposed changes
in our present system of farming
for the Improvement Of the agrieul-
tural situation in the county.
In view Of The fact that this pro-
gram Of readiustTnent is of long
time nature, results cannot be eX-
Dected Immediately, but farmers
should be giving more thought to
these problems and come to these
local meetings with ideas and sug-
gestions that will help the county
committee in formulating a program
which will tend to place agriculture
on a more sound basis Of equality
with other industries throughout
our nation.
In addition TO the county agent,
these meetings will be attended by
other representatives of the exten-
sion service of the University Of
Delaware who will lead in the dis
cussions and also explain the pur-
poses OF this agricultural program.

GAS CONSUMPTION In

fConlinred from 80 Pagel

fCoHfiHHed from First Pagel
showing an increase of $24S. S.97S.72
and consumption increase of $685.
94S gallons.
De spite predictions made before
the extra one cent was added to the
gasoline tax that the consumption OF
gasoline would decrease as a result,
Delaware stands second I'm gallOnage
consumption as compared with four
teen other states Of the Northeastern
States Tax Conference, with Virginia
the leading state, but One-tenth Of a
point in advance while New Jersey
with a thre cent tax is 81 percent
below ii.
These tables are based upon con-
sumption and there can remain no
doubt that Delaware has not only
raised the expected amount Of need
ed revenue which made possible an
approximate so per cent cut on the
real estate taxes, but has also made
a creditable showing in the cOnsump
tiOn Of gasoline.
Mr.. Cosby attributes this show
ing to the efficient manner in which
the Highway Department has col
lected the motor fuel taxes due and
to the good roads which have
brought many travelling motorists
from other states on tours over our
with the consequent in
purchase of gasoline.
