OUR FARMERS CORNER
Egg Laying Contest

Egg production is the barometer of success in the hen business. The egg laying contest has shown con clusively that from this time on one can find quitters in every flock. 1t is an essential loss both to the com munity and to the owner to kill off laying hens, but it is equally unwise for the poultry farmer to nures along a lot of hens that are not earning their board. This is the psychologi- cal season of the year to spend a little time in the hen house getting acquainted with the birds. They ought to be pretty thoroughly in- spected not less than each fortnight. One can readily learn to spot the loafers and send them to market.
 In the thirty eighth week of the contest, Hollywood Farms pen of Leghorns from Hollywood, Wash, was an easy first for the week with a score of 58 eggs. A Connecticut pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by John z. Labelle of Ballouville was second best pen for the week with 55 eggs. Another pen of Rhode Island Reds entered by Charles D. Peirce of Arnold Mills, R. l., was a close third with 54 eggs for the week. Barred Rocks owned by Lewis Farms from Davisville, R. l., and two pens of White Leghorns owned by White Springs Farm from Geneva, N. Y., and Eigenrauch and DeWinter from Red Bank, N. J., all tied for fourth place with 52 eggs each. The total production for all pens was 3516 eggs or a yield of 50 per cent.
 The four leading pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows:

AND PROGRESS IN HIS ADDRESS
Delegates To General Convention To

Meet At Portland Oregan.-In-
teresting Notes of Diocese
The 136th annual convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Del
aware met in session at st. Philips
Church, of Laurel, last week and was
the largest held in over 25 years, ac-
cording to statements made by some
of the old members. Several hundred
men and women, prominent in the
state were in attendance and were en-
tertained in the homes of Laurel fami-
lies irrespective of church affiliations.
The session was opened with Bishop
Philip Cook presiding. Bishop Cook
read his address, which pointed to
many important matters concerning
the church. The convention adopted
the mode of procedure of business as
was used in the 1921 convention. John
). Grohe, of Wilmington was unani-
mously elected secretary, and he nam
ed as his assistants Rev. Thomas Getz
Hill of St. Peters Church, Smyrna,
and William B. Jester, of Delaware
City. The following officers were un-
animOusly reelected. Frederick Bring
hurst, of Wilmington, treasurer; Prof.
Henry Handy Hay, of New Castle,
registrar; Former Chancellor Charles
M. Curtis, of Wilmington, chancellor,
Reports all showed the diocese to be
in prosperous condition.
The question of lifting the debt that
still remains on the Bishopstead was
discussed at length. The debt amounts
to about $4,000. A special committee
of churchmen have had the matter in
their hands for some time, and have
not been able to liquidate it. 1t was
decided to abolish the committee and
place the matter in the hands of the
executive council. The council is
composed of Rev. Richard w. Trap
nell, Rev. d. S. Thompson, Rev. J. H.
carp, George A. Elliott, Frederick
Bringhurst and Felix A. DUPONT. 1t
will now be up to the council to devise
some means to rid the Diocese of the
incumbency. What methods will be
employed have not as yet been decided
upon, according to Rev. Richard w
Trapnel.
The following were elected officers
for the ensuing year: Examining

ASK MORTGAGES To
ASSIST DEBTORS IN
UTILIZING CREDITS

An urgent request to mortgagees of
Salt River valley lands to extend
every opportunity to mortgagors and
other debtors to save their holdings
by permitting them to accept offers
of the Salt River Valley Water Users
association to extend credit to them
for water was issued by the officials
OF the association yesterday, foloW-
ing the adoption of a resolution by
the board of governors in which the
thought behind the request Is set
forth in detail. This resolution fol-
lows:
Whereas, owing to depressed IL
raancial conditions many OF the farm
ers Of the Salt River project nave
been unable to meet their obligations
to their creditors, including this as
sociation. and,
Whereas. this association has
made provision for certain extension
Of credit upon condition. however,
that certain classes of mortgages
and other lien holders give their
assent to such extension of credit in
order that the just rights of such
mortgages and lien holders may not
be prejudiced and.
"yVhereas. it has come to our at
tention that certain Of such morg
agees have refused their. assent to
such extension without good reason
therefor. and are insisting upon the
strict terms of their mortgages with
view of obtaining possession OF
such mortgaged premises by fore
closure or otherwise at a price below
their actual value, and
Whereas, under the existing de-
pressed financial conditions all just
and reasonable men should yield their
strict legal rights to the end that so
far as possible the property rights
of the mortgagors. as we'll as those OF
the mortgages may be preserved.
Now, therefore, be it hereby re-
solved that the board of governors OF
the Salt River Valley Water Users
association request all mortgages
and other creditors to extend a rea-
sonabIe opportunity to their mortg-
agors or debtors to save their hold
ings by permitting an extension OF
credit for water by the association
and by refraining from foreclosure.
