ton of the banks. tney-the small

foot"
G. D. H. Cole, who is one of the
leading Socialists of England, put it
this way: Before a Labor Govern
iuent nationalizes any industry. it
should first nat;onalize the banks.
With the banks in our hands we can
take over other industries at leisure y
To come home to our own country
A A. Berle. testifying before the
TNEC hearing made this observation:
The government will have to enter
into direct financing of activities now
supposed to be private. and a continu-
ance Of that direct financing must in
evitably be that the Government will
ultimately control and own those ac-
tivities-Over a period of years the
Government will gradually come to
own most Of the productive plants of
the United States"
Read those frank statements over
again. Every thinking American
should commit them to memory
Government-domin banking and
government-dominated credit are the
surest roads yet discovered to some
form of totalitariar government

Most of the columniSts have been
busy as bird dogs in forecasting what
course the Administration will nov
take. And all Of them seem to have
different ideas. Some think the Presi-
dent will pursue a conservative policy
others that he will go in for expert
ment on a bigger scale than ever.
For the time being. discount all OF
those forecasts considerably. Only one
man, the President, knows what he
plans to do. and he hasn't talked
about it publicly The speeches and
statements he has made since the
election have been moderate in tone
and have not indicated any startling
new departures.
1t is obvious that the demands of re-
armament come first in government
now. Whatever the Administration
thinks is necessary to expanding pro-
duction with maximum speed. will be
done. but no one yet knows what that
will entail.

A biennial budget of approximate
ly eight and a half million dollars
was submitted last Friday to the

get sets up s4,173 ,905.49 for the year
ending June 80, 1912, and $4,276.-
567.74 for the following year, or a
total appropriation Of $s.45O,473.23.

$4,000 for each Of the two years
between the school budget as orig
inally prepared and as submitted
this week with supporting data in
conformity with forms required by
the Permanent Budget C0fnnais-
sion.
The board deferred 1nal action on

SAFETY COUNCIL TELLS
HUNTERS TO DO DUTY
Is Duty OF Persons Going Hunting
To Exercise Care

Each fall, thousands of men and
women go into the woods to hunt.
and each fall thousands leave the
woods severely wounded. dying-or
dead. In October. November and De-
cember Of last year there were in
this country approximately LOO ac-
cidental deaths due to firearms. 40So
Of the total for the entire year.
Scores Of thousands were luckier-
they were merely manned.
The Delaware Safety Council says,
Our hunters must decide whether or
not human life is Of more value than
one or two extra ducks or partridge.
The hunter who blazes away when
ever he hears a sound or glimpses
a movement in the under brush Is
crirainally careless. In fact. care
lessnass and over-enthusiasm lie at
the root Of most Of our hunting trag-
edies."

DAIRY HERD RECORDS
IMPROVE In KENT co.
Average Cow Production Was $50
Pounds In September

According to the September re-
port of the Kent County Dairy Herd
improvement Association, which has
been mailed from the Office of COun-
ty Agent Russell E. Wilson TO each
member of this organization. the
average production per COW for the
past month was 636 pounds of milk
and 26.3 pounds of butterfat.
OF the 192 cows which were on
official test during September, there
were 81 cows that produced over 800
pounds of milk each, and 16 COWS
which produced in excess Of 40
pounds of butterfat each, which is
reasonably good record for this sea-
son of the year when pastures are
short due to weather conditions. One
important factor which will be stres-
sed by the extension service during
the coming year, therefore, is more
and better pasture and hay crops for
dairy cattle, and this program will
include also the greater use of home
grown feeds in dairy rations for
more economical milk production.
In order to bring this question of
homegrown feeds to the attention Of
dairy farmers a committee Of in
terested dairymen will be selected
in the county to cooperate with the
county agent in planning this pro-
ject. Assistance in this work win be
given by Kenneth w. Baker, farm
specialist of the Dela-
ware Extension Service, and plans
will be discussed with reference to
securing a number Of dairy farmers
who will serve as cooperatols in this
project during the next few years.
