tic states, the speaker told the ap-
proximately 800 assembled mem
bers the state has lost some LOO
farms in the past decade, but the
average inome has jumped from
S12,50O TO S1S,700 in that period
of time. Claiming that New Castle
County is practically farming in
the shade of the city," he said that
the big problem today is more peo-
pie and fewer farming acres.
On Delaware farms today, he
said, there are II acres per person
with only six of these tillable. The
state has two acres per person
where the national average is six
acres per person.
Mr.. Worrilow cited the fact that
SUSSEX County last year ranked
23rd in the United States for
amount of gross income and fourth
in counties east of the Mississippi.
The amount given was around $71,-
900, 900.
He pointed out, too, that the
county that ranked first, Los An
geles County i'm California, was
even more populated than Sussex
County.
The speaker lauded the diveTsi-
fication Of crops which has con-
tinued in the state Ten years ago,
he said, broilers accounted for 68
per cent of the farm income where
as today it is so per cent Corn
and potatoes have also grown, the
former from 8 of one per cent ten
years ago to 51a per cent today, and
potatoes from half of one per cent
to 10 per cent today.
Referring to farm Legislation,
Mr.. Worrilow said we can't depend
upon the government to get the job
of securing income alone. Using
the example of the Soil Bank plan,
he said 460 farmers had signed UP
in Delaware. They will receive
1851, 900 which is only three per
cent of the income
The speakers referred to the eco
nomic situation in Sussex County
as good, but not the best position.
Speaking about the difference
between the share that farmers get
of the consumers dollar, he cited
marketing procedure and the house
wives wishes for certain packages
as increasing the cost to consum-
ers, while farmers prices stay low.
The cooperative elected three
three-year directors, H. Lloyd
Jones, Smyrna; Paris c. Kirby,
Milford; and Alden P. Short, of
Georgetown. 1t also voted to be-
come a member of the National
Rural Electric Cooperative Asso-
citation by vote of about to l.
In his report, Robert Jefferson,
superintendent of the Delaware
Electric Cooperative, Inc, said that
bids will probably be let for SUBJ
stations in Georgetown, Dover,
Greenwood 4nd Frankford. He said
about $25O9oO has been set aside
for the program, but estimated
cost will be s350,000 Mr.. Jefferson
said the cooperative expects to
seek an additional loan of $590,00O
from the Rural Electric Admins
tration for expansion.
The cooperative now has about
5000 members in Sussex and Kent
Counties using over $500 miles OF
lines.

that the VA home loan program

Der of applications, the VA vol
ume has been more than double
the FILA total in the last two
years, he added.
If not renewed the program
will run out on July rs, 1857
but because of the time required
for filing and processing of ap-
pllcationS and completion of the
financing. failure to renew the
program could be expected to
stop any further lending under
the program by next January |
Some members of Congress

financing more available for all
citizens.

THE NEGRO STRUGGLE

and in the national and some
state capitals, lobbying for le-
gislative reforms. But that is
all. The NAACP has been Of
ficially non-partisan. It has tried
to coax or threaten politicians,
but not select or control them.
The result has been some
crumbs for a privileged few, but
no civil rights legislative gains
for the Negro masses as a whole.
This type and method of po-
litical action was tolerable only
so long as the majority of color
ed people were isolated in rural
areas in the South. What could
a lone Negro do in a southern
plantation country? Nothing. So
the NAACP could plead, coax,
pray and bluff, like union re-
presentatives in an unorganized
industry who know they have
no power to back them up.
But industrialization and me-
chanization have pushed thou
sands of Negroes off the land
and massed them in cities and
towns where they have discover
ed the strength of organized
numbers, the methods and tao
tics of class struggle.
Now that Negro masses have
demonstrated they can be or
ganized for united positive ac-
ton, it is time for the NAACP
to give a different content to
it's "non-partiSanShip."
Continued next week.
