Friends Went To Police
Two men who said they were
friends Of Burton from Lewes visit
ed the Wilmington police station on
Sunday night. They asked for police
to accompany them to a house on
West Seventh street. The police ae-
companied the men and waited in
the police car while the other two
entered the house and a short time
later came out with a third man
said to resemble Burton. Inquiry at
the house early Monday morning
resulted in confirmation that Burton
had been at the house and left. Fur

800 SUSSEX FARMERS
FILL OUT WORK SHEETS
Time Has Been Extended On Re-
turning Sheets

County Agricultural Agent c. r.
Snyder has Just received word that
the time for filling work sheets for
the Soil Conservation Program has
again been extended. This win give
those farmers who have not signed,
another opportunity to cooperate in
this work.
Already about 500 Sussex farmers
have filled these work sheets and by
carrying out their part of the pro-
gram will receive certain benefits.
Those farmers who do not sign will
not receive these government Soil
Conservation checks.
Because of recent drought cOndi-
tiOns, some rulings have been
changed which will prove to be an
other help to those who have sign
ed the work sheets. One of these
rulings allows the farmer to pas
ture his soybeans and they will still
be considered soil conserving acres.
Another states that if legumes had
been sOwn in wheat this spring,
credit will be given for one half of
this acreage toward earning a soil
payment. Thus, in most
cases, farmers who are raising le-
gume hay can qualify for this pay
ment. In fact, there are so many
ways by which a farmer can qualify ,
for at least some payment. Because
of this every Sussex farmer should I
take a little time to learn how he
can share in these payments. In the :
winter when these checks are being 9
to your neighbOrs, you 5
may wish that you too had cooper
ated in this work. You still have a ?
chance to do it. Do not wait until
he door is closed. See your local
or your county agri-
cultural agents at once and have l
hem explain this Soil Conservation I
Program to you. It costs nothing l
md it may pay you something.
