SEEN FOR 193S4O
IN UNITED STATES
Acreage Will Remain The
Same Next Year And
CarryOver Will be Large
CONDITION CRITICAL

The Bureau of Agricultural Eeono-
mics forecast Tuesday that domestic
wheat prices probably would continue
low during the 1939-4O marketing
season unless economic conditions OF
the general price level improved
more than now indicated.
Wheat acreage in the remainder
of the world is not likely to be de-
creased next year, the bureau said
in its annual wheat outlook report.
With average yields, it added, crop
nearly equal to the annual world
consumption would be produced even
If acreage in the United States is
held TO the 55. 900 900 acres allotted
under the 1888 agricultural ADJUST
ment program.
The Agricultural Department econ
omists said an increase in the do
nestle wheat carryover appears
unavoidable" next year if paintings
are considerably in excess of the 3d.
100000 acres.
This acreage, with an average yield
would produce about 6O0.OOO,OOO bu-
shells, or slightly under the ten-year

$50 100000 bushels, the bureau esti-
mated.
At the present time, the report
said, the wheat outlook for 1899
pointed to a world carryOver in July,
1889. of about 1,165.0O0.00 bushels
more than twice the size of the. 1887
carryover and second only to the
I,193. 100000 bushels carried over in
1888.
The report said wheat export pros
poets for the United States in the
marketing season of 1939-4O were
definitely less favorable" than in
either the 1878 or 1889 seasons,
because of the expected increase in
world carryover stocks.
The report said grasshopper in
probably would be less in
1889 than during the past few years
but still somewhat above average.
in the Dakotas and eastern
Montana. Improvement was pre-
dicted in this situation in Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois.
The bureau said that in areas
where fax is a commercial crop
farmers might shift some of their
spring wheat acreage to this COM
modify during 1899.

BOARD OF HEALTH
SAYS WATCH RABBITS
Three Cases OF Infection Have Al
ready Been Discovered In State

With the opening of the rabbit
season close at hand, the State Board
of Health and the Game and Fish
Commission are warning hunters,
market men, housewives and others
who handle wild rabbits to guard
against catching tularemia or "rab-
bit fever" Already three instances
of Infection have been discovered In
Delaware by the Laboratory Division
Of the State Board Of Health.
The disease is contracted through
exposure when handling flesh or
skin1ing infected game animals, es-
pecislIy rabbits. The seasonal pre-
vaIence always occurs during the
height of the hunting season. and
those coming into possible contact
with II are being urged to use all
possible precautions. Since the dis
ease results in severe discomfort to
the sufferer, and no specific treat
meht Is known, II is hoped that per-
sons having occasion to handle wild
rabbits will abide by the warning
issued.
1. Never put your unprotected
hands. especially il they have been
cut or scratched. inside a Wild rab-
BIT.

when handling the uncooked flesh Of
wild rabbits.

MILFORD "BUCS" BOW

Local Highiets Played Coed Game
Against Heavier Opponents

Two long touchdown passes in the
closing half gave Dover High School
a 1870 victory over Milford High
School In their football game at Or
iole Park Monday afternoon at Do
yer. The contest was postponed from
last Friday night due to rain.
After two scoreless periods, Dover
finally broke through in the third
period when Right-Hslfback Shu-
brooks tossed an aerial to Right End
Tunnell. who ran so yards for the
score. ~
Late In the final period, Left
HaIfhack Moore tossed sRother
aerial to TunnelI and the Dover end

CHANGE rs NEEDED
Administration Change Is

Business Back.

When the New Deal last spring
proposed another huge spending
program as the way out of the
Roosevelt depression into which II
had led the country, House and Sem
ate Republicans protested that per-
manent recovery could not be achiev-
ed in this manner. They held that
unless constructive action were TAX

It's governmental strait-jacket, the
country in the end would be far
worse off.
Today that view holds more
meaning than ever before.
A slight but significant rise in
various business indices indicates
that the giant that is American bus
mess Is awakening. In the past that
giant has gone back to sleep. A
change in Administration is needed
to keep him awake.
The New York Ti6es analyses the
situation accurately in an editorial
entitled Spending and Recovery"
as follows:
reports from Washington that
the Governments latest spending
program will probably reach its
peak in March or April will doubt
less be welcomed in some quarters
as assurance that the present i'm
progement in business is likely to
last for at least another six months
whether or not this proves to be
the case. there is little reason to
suppose that any impetus to busi-
ness would prove any more lasting
than on previous occasions. More

the slow but safe line-not the

New Technique Approved.
we are pleased to see that edi-
torial reaction in the white press
70 the exposition of the "new tech
nique' of fighting our economic
battles as was made recently in the
Saturday Evening Post is favorable.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch says:
In st. Louis, 45 Black Belt blocks
have been organized by the Urban
League into units. each unit con-
tanning SO to 100 per cent of the
residents of tht block. When chain
store doing business with Negroes
refused to employ Negro help, the
block units went into action with
boycott which accomplished their
purpose. When mily company re-
fused to employ Negro drivers to
serve Black Belt outes, the Urban
League went to a competitor and
got six Negro drivers employed. The
competitors sales scared 90 per cent.
The original company capitulated.
Similar pressure techniques prevent
ed the discharge of Negro coal
truck drivers, brought aboue en-
ployment of Negro statesmen for
bakeries, Negro girls in a and 10
cent store, Negro motion picture
operators. Even more ingenious is
the campaign to be started (already
begun) in Harlem against public
utilities. Unless they agree to give
Negroes their share of jobs, the
utilities will have to deal with the
co-Ordinating Committee of EN-
ployed backed by 178 Negro orga-
nizations."
The paper concludes by saying:
Here is an important and signifi-
cant movement almost certain to
spread and almost certain to bring
results. SO far, the movement has
been distinguished by its fairness
and intelligence. The Negroes have
asked only for what they think
their expenditures entitle them to in
the way Of employment, and they
have gone about getting it quietly
and without violence. IL they con-
tinue to observe this restraint, they
will undoubtedly make tremendous
strides for economic justice between
the races"

Negro Business


Negro business was recently
"lectured' at Cleveland by one of
its prize exhibits. We say dec
tured' because that is the word for
it. although the speaker was listed
as guest" since he was not iden-
tilted with the group (insurance)
which he addressed. The text of the
address was later published, so that
those who were not sure they heard
Alright had an opportunity to remove
their doubts.
While there was some good in the
address, there was running through
it the spirit Of disdain, based pri-
marily on the supposition that much
stock is sold without the payment Of
dividends.
We are familiar with the history
of American business, on both the
inspirational and practical side, and
we say it is fact and not a theory
that business is gamble at best,
and there is no rule by which it can
be insured absolutely against loss.
There are good, bad and Indifferent
business managers, there are honest
and dishonest executives, but in the
Negro field we would wager that
there is no less a proportion of
success based on opportunity than
there is among any other set Of
business men. Of course some Ne
gro business enterprises have not
paid dividends, but that is no argu-
ment against Negro business, nor IS
it an argument which might prop
erly be made the theme Of discussion
at an insurance meeting of national
executives, since insurance is, ad-
mittedly, the most successful divis-
ion of Negro business. Reference
might properly be made to misman--
agement Of some Negro business
enterprises, but only to point out
WHAT SllOuiu Dc dNOiQGA, clld INV ~
imply or to indicate a trend.
The speaker took time out TO
point to HIS OWN success in paying
dividends. But the sneaker was ad-
dressing people who had no personal
knowledge Of how his business grew.
The speaker would not like it known
that for years some of his employees
cleaned over backward" for their
pay, to put it mildly, while ne paid
dividends. Nor would he mention
the extreme sneculation that played
50 imnor.ant a part in tho success
Of which he boasted politics. Hard
" any business man in, his rlght
mind would approve of politics" to
make the cash register ring, although
sometimes it is the long shot that
wins.
