LONDON. March 18.-Oueen
Mother Mary and other members
of Britain's royal family became
definitely reConciled today to the
prospect that the Duke of Wind
sor will marry Mrs. Wallis Simp-
son shortly after the coronation
of King George VI.
International News Service was
informed in high court circles that
efforts to persuade him to aban.
don the proposed marriage have
been dropped as a result of the
recent visits paid him in Austria
by the Duke of Kent. the Princess
Royal and the Earl of Hardwood.
Originally they had hoped to
persuade him to postpone the cere-
mony until several months after
the coronation.
1t was learned, however, that
the Duke flew off the handle"
when his sister, the princess royal,
sought to persuade him to delay
his wedding to Mrs. Simpson sew,
eral months.
According to court circles. he
told her in effect that he was fed
up with being bounded from Lon
don" and was tired of efforts to
interfere between him and Mrs.
Simpson.
He declared, it was stated. that
he intended to be married as soon
as possible after Mrs. Simpsons
divorce becomes final.
The Duke of Windsor finally
promised to postpone the wedding
until after the coronation, and the
Duke of Kent promised in turn
he would try to attend.

WILD GEESE MAKING
THEIR WAY SOUTH
Migration Somewhat Earlier Than In
Former Years

Large fiocks OF wild geese are fly
ing over lower Delaware, making
their way to the southern feeding
grounds. Weather forecasters I'm
this section state that the migration
is somewhat earlier than In many
former years. and they say that un-
less all signs fail this section will
experience an early winter.
Squirrels this season have been
more numerous than for many
years, according to sportsmen and
they are busy at this time storing a
large supply of hickory and beech
nuts for winter. This, according to
many old residents. indicates an
early, hard and cold winter.
There is said to be an abundance
of coon berries on the bushes In the
woodland and the cedar trees are
laden with berries on which birds
can feed. A plentiful supply OF fer-
ries on shrubbery throughout the
woodland is said to be another sign
OF severe winter weather.
Many no doubt will watch with ir-
terest to see how the old sayings OF
the aged ones will turn out.

1886 WHEAT PROGRAM
COMPLETED In DELA.
SS1 Wheat Adjustment Applications
In Kent; 1873 In Sussex

In checking over the records OF
the former Kent and Sussex County
Wheat Production Control Associa-
ton, under whose direction the
wheat acreage adjustment program
was conducted In these two counties
for four years, IL has been learned
that 1896 benefit payments have been
issued for all but ten farms in Kent
county and five farms in Sussex
county.
According to these records which
are on file in the Kent county extern
sion Office there were 3S1 wheat ad-
justment applications for the 1886
program in Kent county. and 1888
applications in Sussex county, MAX
ing a total of 514 for both counties.
The total 1886 benefit payments for
the 371 Kent county farms. for
which checks have been issued to
date. amount to s35.6s3.44, as COM
pared to s6,2SS41 for the 12s farms
In Sussex county.
All of the required compliance
papers for these remaining fifteen
farms have been forwarded to the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration in Washington, but II cannot
be determined when the benefit pay
ments will be made. AS the wheat
production control association has
been terminated by the Secretary of
Agriculture, it is expected that these
checks will be received within few
weeks in connection with the clos
ing out of the 1886 wheat program.
The 1886 benefit payments, there
fore, mark the close of the wheat ad-
justment program which was started
in the fall of 1898, and were issued
on the basis of 20.5 cents a bushel
on the farm allotment In bushels for
the crop year of 1886. This program
was based upon the wheat yields for
the period 1880 to 1885. inclusive.
and the six-year average wheat acre
age on these 3S1 farms in Kent coun-
ty was AZ acres. or a total Of IL 1908
