LACK OF MARKETS BIGGEST
PROBLEM AT PRESENT TIME.
WORLD CONDITIONS A FACTOR
Delaware Farmers Urged to Take Up Co
operation in Selling
By HENRY B. THOMPSON
Agricultural unrest is prevalent
throughout the entire country. The im
mediate panacea seems to be to create
a freer loan market for the farmer.
While much has been done in the last
ten years through the Federal Re
serve System and the Farm Loan
Banks, it is unquestioned that the sit
uation can be improved, parteularly
in the matter of small loans with long
dating to maturity. The farmer
should have the same opportunities in
the matter of credit as have the
manufacturer, the merchant or the
banker.
But solving the question of agri
cultural credits is not a final or full
solution of the whole difficulty. This
new access to credit can create new
evils, if it is not used intelligently.
There is no use in borrowing to pay
old debts unless the farmer can see
his way clear to take care of the new
debt. The intelligent marketing of
his crop is as important to him—if
not more so—than his ability to bor-1
row money. This is the outstanding |
problem facing the farmer today, and
it is particularly acute in the small
farming communities which are inac
cessible to near markets and lack
cheap transportation facilities. We
see this situation developing again and
again in an aggraveted form in our
own State. I am told that this season
it does not pay the farmer to put in
the labor harvesting certain of his
crops. We know the difference be
tween the selling price on the farm and |
I
the price to the ultimate consumer is j
out of all reason in the case of many
farm roducts. This being so, what
are the remedies? We can look west
and see what has been done by the
Citrus Fruit Growers' Association of
California. This is probably one of
the best examples of intelligent mer
chandizing applied to intelligent
farming. It does not follow that the
good farmer is a good merchant. The
converse is more apt to be true, and
The University of Delaware has
been a regular exhibitor at the State
Fair at Wilmington for a number of
years, but not until this winter have
any of the University livestock been
entered at the national exhibitions. A
pen of theree pure-bred Poland
China swine was fitted this year to
be shown at the International Live
stock Exposition.

This show which is held at the

The Delaware swine succeeded in
winning fifth prize among over twenty
entries.
It is interesting to note that the
University had the co-oeration of the
Poland China breeders of Kent and
Sussex counties in making his exhi
bition. Early in April Professor T.
A. Baker of the Department of Ani

successful selling agent equipped with
sufficient capital will go a long way
to reach some of our difficulties. Can
not our Delaware farmers attack the
problem from this point of view? Sec
retary Mellon in his last annual re
port touches on the real point at issue
in the following:
"The growth of the co-operative
movement is one of the most encourag
ing developments in the marketing of
agricultural products in recent years,
for it promises to bring about definite
and far-reaching improvements in our
whole system of distributing farm
commodities.
"The farmer's difficulty now is
not so much lack of credits as it is
lack of markets, and recovery of
markets depends rather more on
world conditions than on domestic
credits."
There is one unfortunate feature
outstanding in this whole business,
We see a new crop of statemen ap
pearing in Washington whose whole
stock in trade is "agricultural relief."
This is their vote-catching slogan,
Paradoxically they love fiat money
and hate capital. They attack the
railroads for lower rates and join
hands with union labor, whose pro
gram is shorter hours, higher wages
and consequently higher freight rates,
We must judge them either as dem
as honest men grossly
ignorant of the first principles of
economics—either type equally dan
generous in our olitical life. Their ap
peal is that common American
fallacy "legislation in some form will
always cure temporary evils in trade."
In the meantime, the farmers have
in degree the remedy of helping them
selves in considering this question of
co-operative marketing. — Morning

University Students to Present
Pinero's Notable Drama
a
Theatregoers in the vicinity of
Newark have in store for them a
m
dramatic production that affords more
value to the true lover of the legiti
mate stage than any play that has
been staged in this town for a great
many months. The play in question,
which is doubtless familiar to every
follower of drama, is "The Magis
trate," one of Arthur W. Pinero's
greatest successes in the line of
farcial comedy. Those who are more
familiar with the musical comedy
realm of theatrical productions will
doubtless remember this particular
play as "Good Morning Judge,'
musical play, which was one of Broad
way's greatest sensations.
Although little or nothing has been
announced to the public, in fact little
attempt has been mqde at publicity,
the Footlights Club of the University
of Delaware has had this play under
way for several weeks, and enough
time, work, and talent has been ex
pended upon the production to be
given in Newark to make it compare
very favorably with the professional
pioduction. Mr. Alexander Blair, Jr.,
who has devoted a great deal of his
time to the study of dramatic direc
tion has had the coaching of this play
entirely in his hands, and he has
finally announced that the play will
be given on the 19th and 20th of De
cember in the Newark Opera House,
which has been reserved for the oc

casion.
"The Magistrate" is no less hu -1
morous than its camoflaged self, j
"Good Morning Judge." There is a
hearty laugh in every line from the
time o fthe initial curtain to the time
of the grand ensemble. There is a
plot, complex enought to gratify the
most critical person, and which keeps j
one guessing until the end.
In the production of this show, Mr. j Ijg
Blair is especially fortunate in having
such a talented group of persons as
he has to choose from. In the leading j
roles, we find Clifford A. Smith and I
James E. Tilghman, who play the j : ^
parts of Mr. Posket, the magistrate, j jfe
and Agatha Posket, respectively. Mr. ^
Smith has taken an active part in
every theatrical production given |
here during the last three years,
will be remembered by his friends as {
"The Duke of Newark.
Tilghman is a feminine imitator who ;
has caused more than one young lady \
to gaze enviously at him. The roles j
in which these young men are placed
give them every opportunity to dis
play their ability, and few chances to
do so are overlooked by the two in
dividuals thus favored. Paul Leahy, j
playing the part of Mr. Bullamy, an- J
other magistrate, displays rare talent.
Mr. Leahy, who is a Freshman, has !
taken a prominent part in a number
of productions at Wilmington High j
School, where he scored a great suc- 1
cess in the production of "A Tailor
Made Man." Leahy does the ticklish '
stunt of taking two parts, which j
necessitates some lighning changes be
hind the scenes. Hyman Yanowitz, a j
class mate of Leahy's, and who also |
starred in "A Tailor-Made Man," is j
making a great impression in the role j
of Isidore, a waiter. Other notables in
the cast are: Aubrey Travers, John
son Rowan, Ralph Heinold, Charles ■
Levy, Frank Else, Cedric Snyder, B. !
Raught, Charles E. Green, C. Norman
Wade, George McMannus, and Gran
ville S. Robinson.

FOR STATE SCHOOLS
If Successful Wilmington Will
Get $1,300,000
The meeting of the State Board of
Education, scheduled for last Satur
day at Dover, was postponed because
of the inability of some of the mem
bers to be present. Dr. H. V. Hollo-i
way, State Commissioner of Educa-1
tion, has called a meeting of the board i
for next Friday.
The State Board is considering the i
presentation of a bill in the Legisla- j
ture authorizing a bond issue of |
$3,000,000, to be assumed by the j
1 State, for the purpose of improving
j school buildings and erecting new ones j
I where needed throughout the State.
As Wilmington has practically one- 1
half the school population of the |
J State, Dr. Holloway stated, if the
plan is carried through, that city
I would be allotted its proportionate :
j share, or approximately $1,500,000.
The money would be expended, it is
understood in carrying out a building !
j program covering a period of several
] years.
