Approximately 1000 mem
bers of Southern States Coop
erative, their families and other
farm people heard reports of
their cooperative's services for
the l962-o3 fiscal year at a
joint meeting held at the Del
aware State Fair Grounds at
Harrington on August s.
The session was held Jointly
by seven of the cooperative's
retail outlets In Delaware.
These were:
Southern States Dover Pet
roleum Cooperative, and South
ern States Dover Cooperative,
Dover; Southern States Milford
Cooperative, Milford; Peck
Brothers Farm Supply Com
pany, Inc, Harrington; Buffers
Feed and Farm Supply, Har-
rington; Southern States Smy-
rna-Clayton Cooperative, Clay

In addition to the report,
given by J.A. McHugh, mana
ger of Southern States Coop
erative's regional office In Sea-
ford, there we're reports given
by managers of the seven Ag-
encies, elections, and the cell
ebration of the 10th anniver-
sary of service to farmers by
the organization. Edmund Hard
ing, well-known North Carolina
humorist, was the featured
speaker.
According to McHugh, the
cooperative's total volume
exclusive of affiliates and grain
marketing ng---reached 1900,
000--down slightly from the
previous year--and estimated
net savings amounted to 81, =
$4,000 for the fiscal year

reported that a patronage re-

Corn Prices
Continue To
Rise Due
To Drought

{ Continued heavy use of corn,
smaller CCC sales, and crop
scares from a fear of dry
weather are forcing corn prices
In Delaware to their highest
levels since 1857.
Domestic and foreign demand
for corn have been strong.
Chances are the disappearance
of corn during the current year
will be larger than had been
predicted earlier. Meanwhile
CCC sales Of corn have been
twenty percent smaller than a
year ago when heavy movement
of out-of-condition CCC-held
corn was taking place.
CCC sales of grain sorghum
have been larger during the
present year than year earl
ier--which reduces the avail
ability of certificate corn for
CCC to sell this year. AS of
the first of July, CCC still had
about 20 million bushels of GER
tificate corn left to sell during
the currentmarketing year end
ing October /.
Surely the most important fac
tor In the recent corn price
surge has been the crop scare.
Many areas of the corn belt
and the east coast had scant
rainfall during June. Those who
had corn didn't want to sell.
Those who we're going to need
corn wanted to lay in a supply
now.
Recent showers have taken
some of the edge off the cur
rent crop scare. But we are
likely to continue to have a
weather market on cash corn
and futures for the next few
months. Weather conditions
during the remainder of the
growing season will play a
major role In determining what
price to pay for corn. And If
there is a good crop, farmers
can still expect fairly attractive
prices through the fall and win
ter.

l963-64 fiscal year, officials
reported this week.
Crossings for June and July
totaled 2,559, ,l84 as compared
to 2, ,548, 1873 in 1862.
Actually passenger car traf-
fic dropped In July by 43,59O
vehicles, General Manager
Frank ]. Horty reported to
members of the Delaware River
and Bay Authority, but truck
traffic in all categories was
up by 2l,538 vehicles. There
was a decline of 1850 cross
ings in the unpaid category
the report shows.
Actual number of crossings
in July was l,343, ,403 compared
to l,367,845 a year earlier.
New rates went into effect
on July in anticipation of
building a second bridge and
establishment of ferry service
between Cape May, NJ. and
LeWcS, Delaware. Revenue
jumped a healthy GAL percent
for this reason over July of
last year.
Total income In July was
$476, ,053.35 as compared to
$305, ,677.l0 in July 1862. Total
revenue for the two month per-
iod was 81, ,278.45. while a

Accidents
Never Take
Summer
Y acatiOns

People take vacations, but
traffic accidents do not, a safety
official reminded Delaware
drivers yesterday.
To be safe on the roads in
vacation time increased vigi-
lance is essential, said ].
James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council. He
suggested ''Slow Down and
Live" be adopted as the traf-
fic watchword this summer.
"During the remaining va
cation months, thousands of mo-
torists are on the highways,
and many of them are intent
on cramming as much activity
as they can before the end of
the SUMNER" he said. "The
result Is often tragedy"
He cautioned vacationers to
be on their guard against speed
ers, drinking drivers and
drivers who disregard traffic
laws. Above all, hewarned them
to make sure they are never
guilty of such offenses them
selves.
MANY vacationers get into
trouble by not allowing enough
time to cover the trip comfort
ably" Ashton said. "Then they
try to make up time by driving
too fast for conditions, by driv-
ing when fatigued or by dis
regarding traffic laws"
The safety official advised
motorists to observe the fol-
lowing rules for a safe and
pleasant trip:
|. Plan your trip so that
you have plenty of time to reach
your destination and return In
comfort. This means a mini
mum of night driving, no speed
Ing or slow-poke driving, and
no driving when fatigued.
2. Before you start on your
trip, learn the driving regu-
lations of the states you ex-
pect to travel through.
3. Never drive after you've
been drinking.
A. Watch for and heed all
road signs and speed limits.
5. Have your car land trail
er, ifyouuse one) safety-check-
ed before you start your trip.
e. Load your car carefully
so that luggage and equipment
do not interfere with vision and
will not shift dangerously in an
emergency.
