SUSSEX WHEAT PRO.
DUCTION PROGRAM

The first step in the wheat pro-
duction program as it affects Sus-
sex County will start ON July 31st in
series of local MEETINGS, at which
the Wheat Production Adjustment
Plan will be explained. This cam
paign of informing the farmers
about the Agricultural Adjustment
Act is just beginning in all wheat
growing counties of the country. All
available information about this
Act will be given at these meetings
and at which organizations of wheat
growers will be formed it it is found
necessary. The Representatives
chosen by the farmers at these
meetings will then form a county
organization which is necessary to
administer the Act in cooperation
with the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration. The organization
of the wheat growers of each county
depends entirely on the farmers
themselves. The plan is not a
compulsory one. 1t is important,
however, that every wheat grower
be given a chance to at least know
just how this plan may affect him
and it is for this reason the County
Agricultural Agent C. R. Synder
urges the wheat growers and all in
terested to attend one of these meet
ings and hear this Wheat Produc-
tion Program explained. Plan to
attend the melting nearest your home
All meetings start at s p. m.
The schedule of meetings is as
follows:
July Bridgeville High School
August 1st-Midway Community
Hall.
August 2nd-Dagsboro-F -Frankford
High School.
August Srd-Milford Community
Building.

SHOULD SET BETTER
EXAMPLES

In 1920 Kermit Roosevelt, son of
President Theodore Roosevelt, was
fined $25 for auto speeding.
In 1888 Theodore Roosevelt III,
grandson of the same president, was
fined $40 for auto speeding. He
pleaded guilty to driving his ma
chine at the rate of 80 miles an
hour.
These are just two cases where
those who should set examples in
obeying the laws have done the op-
posite. We could cite many others,
but these happen to be conspicuous.
Why is it that a great many peo-
pie seem to think the laws are made
for others to obey, but not them
selves?
Why is it that anybody, in a coun-
try like this, should. assume that he
is above the law or that he can with
impunity commit acts which imperil
the public?
Why is it that a whole class of
lawyers have been permitted to
grow up who make it their business
to show their clients how they can
beat the laws-instead of upholding
justice, which they are sworn to up
hold?
OF course there will always be
those who will get a kick" out of
breaking the Lawsuit we would
like to put in plea on the other
side. How can we expect that or
binary, ignorant, low-class people,
who are vicious by nature and who
have had no advantages of birth or
should obey the laws if
people who are looked up to as lead
ers break those laws?-Pathfinder

PICKLE TROUBLES
ShriyelIing

ShriVelling
If the vinegar is too hot or too
strong when poured over fruits or
vegetables, it may cause them to
shrivel. Too strong a brine or too
much sugar will also cause shrivel-
ling. Sweet pickles very often shriv-
ell due to the combination of over
cooking, too much sugar, and too
strong a vinegar.
SOftening
This is due to bacterial action. If
vinegar or brine is too weak, pickles
may soften from fermentation. Pick
les kept in too warm storage often
become soft. Vinegar boiled too long
loses strength and may cause soft
ening. Pickles cooked too long sot-
ten from overlooking. Pickles ex-
posed above the brine or vinegar be-
come soft. Once pickles have become
soft, they cannot be restored in firm
ness and crispness.
Bitter Flavor
A bitter flavor may be caused by
boiling the spices in the vinegar too
long or by using too much spice.
Crisping
Soaking in brine Il ID. salt to 1
gal. water) for "a hours makes Gu
cumbers crisp and improves the
favor.
SpOiIage
A soft or slippery condition is the
most common form of spoilage. 1t is
caused by bacterial action. 1t will
always occur if pickles are exposed
above the brine and if the brine so
luton is too weak. This spoilage
does not penetrate rapidly to the
lower layers, so untouched parts OF
the jar may often be saved by re-
moving the spoiled part, adding
brine, and covering the whole with /
hot paraffin.
Hollow Pickles
This may happen during curing
or it may be due to faulty develop
ment of the cucumbers. 1t may be
caused by allowing the cucumbers
to stand too long time before tax
ing care of them. They should not
stand more than "a hours.
Scum
Top layers of vegetables ferment-
ed in brine will spoil unless the
scum is frequently removed. If al
lowed to remain, the vegetables un-
