ROTARY CLUB
BECOMES HOST
Entertains the MiddIetown
Rotary at The Wayside Inn
on Thursday Night
DR.. HAFF THE SPEAKER

The Smyrna Rotary Club at
their meeting last Thursday even
ing were hosts to the Intercity
meet which was held at the Way
side Inn. The Middletown club
presented the program for the ev-
ening. DR.. Charles Half of North
ampton, Pa, was the guest speak
er. DR.. Half delivered a very in
spring address on Visions of Ro-
tary." DR.. Half said in part that
Rotary enables every member a
clear vision in the point of service.
Every member sees in his mem
bership friendship not otherwise
visioned, he sees this friendship in
time of trouble as well as in the
finer things of life. Vocational
service sees a Rotarian as a de-
signed life, each Rotarian to seek
out his own design or plan he is
to follow. In Community Service
a Rotarian sees the need of his
community, he plans for improve
ments in the community. DR.. Half
also spoke on the visions of clean
living. One of the most thorough
visions presented was, His Vision
of a Painting, that if he could
paint a picture of a large room,
in the center of which would be
a large table seated about rs men,
group of flags in the center this
picture enables a Rotarian to see
the value of service as it reaches
out in International Relations
throughout the world, represent
ing rs nations now embracing the
principles Of Rotary, DR.. Half
stated he would call this painting
His Rotary Club. Visiting Rotar-
ians from Middletown Club, Dover
Club and PENIS Grove, N. J. Club.

Rev. James r.. Galley, Minister,
Announces Services for the Week
Affliction has often proved a
! presence chamber in which the
King of Hosts gives audience to
his unworthy subjects. As Isaac
met his bride at eventide, so many
true souls frequently find their joy
and consolation in the loneliness
of solitude, and at the sunset of
their earthly pleasures. One who
desires to see the stars sparkling
in the fullness of their glory must
dwell in the cold regions of snow:
and he who would know the full
beauty of Jesus. the brightest of
all Stars, must look to him from
the frosts of adversely and trouble.
The saint has had many a pleas
ant view of Gods loving kindness
from the top of the hills of mercy;
but tribulation is very frequently
the Lords Pisgah, from which he
gives them a view of the land in
all its length and breadth. Our
regular mid-week prayer meeting
will be held Wednesday evening at
7.30. Our study begins this week
with the fourth chapter of the
Gospel according to John. On
Friday evening of this week the
Friendship Circle of the Westmin-
ster Guild will meet at the home
of Miss Henrietta Denney, at 7.30.

A comprehensive proposal for a

fore Premier MusSolini of Italy
early next week, probably by

! With official confirmation OF
MacDonald's impending depar-
ture from Geneva to discuss arma-

Premier Macdonald, accompa-
MED by Sir John Simon, his for

Before he leaves, Premier Mac

ALFALFA

One important part of the agri-
cultural extension program for
Kent county during the past seven
years has included the advising of
farmers to grow more alfalfa for the
purpose of growing more home
grown feed for their dairy cattle and
other livestock, with the result that
an average of 1887 acres have been
added to the legume acreage in this
county each year since 1927 when
this project was started on a state
wide basis.
AS the period from August Is to
August 30 is the recommended time
for seeding alfalfa in this section of
the United States, those farmers
who are planning to sow this seed
this year should follow the practice
of getting it in the ground during
the next two or three weeks, accord
ing to County Agent Russell E. Will
son who has made extensive surveys
of the alfalfa situation in this sec
tion. Alfalfa that is seeded at this
time of the year has better chance
to get started for the winter, and it
will more likely produce a better
stand of hay the following year
than if it is sown later in the sum-
mer.
The usual rate of seeding alfalfa
is 20 pounds to the acre, although
some farmers prefer to use a few
extra pounds on land that is in
good state of fertility. This crop
will not grow satisfactorily on soil
that is acid. so it is very necessary
that sufficient quantity of lime be
applied to the land before the seed
is sown and worked into the top
soil as the seed bed is being pre-
pared. While the usual amount of
lime that is applied is about 1000
pounds TO the acre, in order to de-
termine the exast quantity needed to
correct the acidity of the soil, lime |
requirement tests should be made.
These tests will be made free of
charge in the laboratory of the State !
