AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. J. r. Galley, Minister, An
nounces Services for the Week

While standing at the side of
little lake on calm autumn day
when all the winds are still, and
every birch tree stands unmoved,
with every twig being reflected in
the steadfast mirror, into the
depths of which heavens own blue
seems to have found its way, we
are impressed with the fact that
that is what our own hearts NAV
be, if we let Christ put His guard
ing hand around them to keep the
storm off and have Him within us
for our rest. But the man who
does not trust Jesus is like the
troubled sea which cannot rest,
but goes moaning round half the
world, homeless and hungry, roll
ing and heaving, monotonous and
yet changeful, salt and barren, the
true emblem of every soul that has
not listened to the merciful call,
Come unto Me all We that labour
and are heavy laden, and I win
give you rest" Come to Christ!
Worship Him in His house! Our
church desires to be a friendly
household of faith, a school for

Automobile registration tags for
1884, issued up until January Is,
exceeded tags issued up until Jan
uary Is, 1888, by 3,O38, according
to a report from the Motor Vehicle
Department, Dover. A total of
1884 pleasure car licenses, were
issued up to January Is, 1884, re
sulting IN a revenue of S377,847,
compared with 31,187 sets of tags,
costing S460,644, issued up until
January Is, 1888. Commercial
car licenses issued up to January
10, 1884. amounted to 6,419, and
cost S156,0O7, compared with 6,O48
costing $171, 350.75, up to January

S54, compared with S631 ,994.75 in
1888. The decrease in revenue,
amounting to $98,14075, in spite
of the increase in number of tags
is a result of the 25 per cent re-
duction in the price of all tags for
vehicles of 5000 pounds gross
weight or under. With the initial
demand for tags well over, prepar-
atoms are now being made for the
sale of operators licenses, which

KENT FARMERS
CORN-HOG PLAN
Preliminary Meeting Held
Monday at County Exten-
sion Office i'm Dover
ALLOTMENT PROGRAM

In connection with the corn-hog
production adjustment plan, which
as being directed by the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, county agents Ed.
Wilim, Jr., Russell E. Wilson and
G. r. Snyder, and a. d. Cobb. as
sistant director Of the Delaware
extension service, met in the Kent
county extension Office on Monday
of this week to discuss plans for
conducting this corn-hog allotment
program in this state. The first
step which will be taken in this
program will be the selection in
each county of a committee of hog
growers representing this agricul-
tural commodity, and this commit
tee will assist the county agent in
planning the methods whereby this
information may be placed before
the farmers as a whole This in
formation will be of particular i'm
portance to those farmers who
may be interested in entering this
plan of reducing the number of
hogs and the corn acreage on their
farms in accordance with this ad-
Justment and benefit payment plan
of the Federal government. AS
corn and hogs are not produced in
Delaware in quantities that may
be comparable to the middle west
and other sections of the United
States, it is doubtful if many
farmers in this area will be in
position to take advantage of this
corn-hog adjustment plan. For
the benefit of those farmers, how
ever, who are raising these two
commodities in sufficient amounts,
the extension service is planning
TO carry out the purposes of this
plan, and application blanks and
other necessary papers will be
available at the county extension
offices within a short time. In or
der that the farmers of Delaware
may have the opportunity to be
come familiar with this corn-hog
allotment plan, community meet
ilgs will be held in each county, |
and those farmers who are inter-
ested in this program are request
ed to attend. The details of this
plan will be fully explained at
each of these meetings, but no eff
fort will be made to induce farm
ers to sign contracts as this is
purely voluntary upon their part,
as was the case with the wheat !
acreage adjustment and allotment
plan last year throughout the
United States. Since the exports
of pork and lard to foreign coun-
tries have declined severely in rec
ent years due to heavier hog pro-
duction abroad and higher foreign
tariffs. it is essential that some adj
justment be made in both corn and
hog production in the United
States. We have a corn produc-
ton problem because the Ameri-
can farmer continues to raise
enough corn to feed the present
excess number of hogs, so the re-
duction in the hog population must
be accompanied by a correspond
ing reduction in corn acreage if
this program is to be effective. If
this is not done, the corn no longer
required for hog feeding will be-
come available for other uses, and
will have tendency to reduce
corn prices throughout the coun-
try. This condition in turn would
encourage the feeding of more
hogs, and would not result in a
balanced production of these two
agricultural commodities.
