nounces Services For the Week
Some years ago a prize was Of
fered for the best definition of a
friend, and this was the answer
which received the award, "A
friend is the person who continues
to come in when every other per
son has gone out" This is the kind
of a friend Christ is. When all
others have deserted us Christ is
still by our side. When all human
powers have failed to help US, the
power of Christ is still able to sup
ply all our needs, and to help US
through our difficulties. This is
also the type of friendship which
should characterize us. A Chris
tian is not a fair-weather friend"
He is one who stands by the other
through thick and thin, always
lending helping hand, always CIV
ing freely of the strength which
God has given him, in order that
the children of God might be help
ed. Let this type of friendship in
f1uence us in our associations with
our fellow men. On Thursday af-
ternoon, June 28th, the annual pic
mic of the Ethel Lloyd Auxiliary
will be held on the lawn of Mrs.
Harry J. Lower on South Street.
The picnic will start at four
o'clock The usual services will

REPORT GAME DOWN STATE
Said to Be More Quail Than Usual !;
Also Many Rabbits

Reports from a number of OBJ
servers indicate that, regardless of
the severe weather conditions
which prevailed last winter, there
are a number of quail in fields, the
Delaware State and Fish Commits
sion reports. These birds have been
seen and can often be heard calling
to one another. A great amount
of the credit for this supply of
birds is due to people interested in
birds cooperating with the Game
and Fish Commission in putting
out feed for the birds during the
severe weather. Reports have also
been received that a number of
rabbits have been seen in the fields
but it is with regret that the state
ment is made that a number have
been seen on our roads, evidently
killed by automobiles. Many of
these rabbits killed on the road
could be saved if drivers of cars
would use a little more care and
have more consideration for those
who obtain sport and recreation
from hunting rabbits during the
hunting season.

WHEAT SURVEY
PROGRESS MADE
Measuring of Wheat Acreage
In Upper Kent Being Made
By Harry B. Clark
TAKING SEVERAL WEEKS

The measuring of the wheat acre
age on those farms under contract
with the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration is progressing as
rapidly as possible, but the work
will not be completed for several
weeks, because of the large num-
Der of farms to be inspected, ac-
cording to Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, Secretary of the
Kent and Sussex County Wheat
Production Control Association,
under whose direction this work is
being conducted in these two coun-
ties in this state. When this work
was started about a month ago it
was planned that all of these farms
under wheat contract would be in
spected before this years crop was
harvested, but under the circum-
stances at least one-half of the
wheat will be cut previous to this
field inspection. Those farmers
whose wheat acreage for this year
is over their maximum allotment
will be requested by the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
to not thresh this additional acre
age of wheat in compliance with
their contracts. AS a result of the
severe drought conditions and the
feed shortage in certain sections of
the United States, notifications
have been made by the Federal
government in regard to the use of
the non-contracted acreage on
those farms under wheat, corn-hog,
or tobacco contracts. All restric-
tions as to date for planting fodder
corn, grain and sorgum for forage
purposes have been removed for all
states by the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration. Although
the lifting Of these restrictions was
brought about by the recent unfav-
orable weather conditions in the
Middle-west and Nor-weStern areas
of the United States, these changes
will affect a number of Delaware
farmers who have signed acreage
reduction contracts. For this
wheat acreage measuring work in
Kent and Sussex counties the field
inspectors include: Harry B. Clark,
Fred M Williams, F. A. Carton,
Elwod Gruwell, O. Arthur Taylor,
Howard r. Moore, and Frank L.
Vibbert In addition to these seven
field inspectors for these two coun-
ties, Thomas d. Smith, survey en-
gineer from the University Of Della
ware, has been checking on the ac-
curacy of wheat acreage measure
ments on a certain number of
farms in each district. Mr.. Smith
is being assisted in this work by
Francis Dill of Milford who is serv-
ing as rodman. Each field inspec-
tor has been provided with a special
wheel device which was designed
by the Department of Agronomy
of the Delaware Experiment Sta
ton for the purpose of measuring
the wheat acreage as accurately
as possible. On large number OF
farms the measurements from
these wheels have checked remark
ably close with those of the survey
engineer.
