CROPS OF STATE
AS OF JUNE 1ST
Wheat Condition Above Nor
mal-Apples and Peaches
For a Bumper Yield
HAY PASTURE CROPS

Delaware grain crops, on June /,
were in a better condition than at
a corresponding date last year, ac-
cording to the latest report of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Likewise, the report
showed that the apple, peach, and
pear crops showed signs of being
better this year than usual. Ac-
cording to the June 1 Crop Report,
issued by the Bureau, winter wheat
condition for that date was eight
points higher than in 1886 on the
first of June and two points higher
than the June 1 average for the
period 1923-1932. The winter
wheat condition was placed at 88
per cent of normal this year. In
dicated production this year is L.
665, 900 bushels as compared to
last years 1,419,OOO bushels. BoIn
oats and rye are in better condition
than last year. The June 1, 1887
condition for these crops was set
at 84 per cent of normal for oats

condition of 81 per cent of normal; /;
While peaches on June 1, 1887
showed a condition of 81 per cent
of normal as compared to last
years June 1 condition of 68 per
cent of normal. Both of these fig
ures are well above the average
June 1 condition for the period
1923-1932, the report shows. Pears,
likewise, are in better shape than
last year with a June /, 1887 con-
dition of So per cent of normal, as
compared to the corresponding
1886 condition of 81 per cent of
normal.
Hay and pasture crops in Dela-
ware are just about holding their
own, according to the report.
Tame Hay showed condition of

ed to the 1e23-1932 average for
June 1 of s8 per cent of normal.
Both Timothy and Alfalfa showed
only slight differences from the av-

Radiant Living
RADIATIONS OF THE
DIVINE
By Rev. G. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. e. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

1t was Just at sunrise when l sat
for a moment at the window and
picked up a book for a morning
thought. And as I read along !
came to this impressive sentence:
Created things are to be loved as
radiations of the divine life"
The thought filed my mind. /
read no further but looked out
across the lawn where, beyond the
distant trees the enormous brilliant
disk of the morning sun glowed,
sending a golden light upon my
page as though a beam of heaven
ly glory was illuminating the beau
tifully expressed thought that l
had just read.
In the golden light of the new
born sun, 1 read again the printed
statement which declared: Gre
ated things are to be loved as rad
iations of the divine life"
While I continued to mediate
upon this thought a chorus of
song burst forth from a bevy of
feathered throats in the surround
ing trees, as though they were at
morning worship. Were they sing
ing the thought of this enriching
author?
I had always loved these morn
ing songsters in their choir loft of
tree branches, arrayed in russet
and autumn gold. But this morn
ing loved them more for this
author taught me to regard these
happy singing birds as the
thoughts of God made visible.
The more I thought Of that, the
more the whole created world
seemed to become again the Card
en- of Eden. I saw the world as an
expression of the intelligence, the
wisdom, and the beauty Of the
Divine Mind.

SAFETY GLASS IN FORDS
Ford Motor Company Tells How
Safety Glass is Made

Safety glass used in windshields
and windows of motor cars today
must be as perfect as human in
genuity and scientific knowledge
can make it, in the view of labor
atory chiefs of the Ford Motor
Company. For this reason, tests
as exacting as those which control
the fashioning of a fine scientific
instrument are employed in the
manufacture of safety glass at the
Ford Rouge plant at Dearborn,
Mich. The glass plant is one of
the most modern as well as one of
the largest of the units of the
Rouge plant. Recently new grind
ing and polishing mills costing S3,-
OO0, 900 were installed. Safety glass
is Sandwich" of two sheets of
glass cemented to a middle sheet
of transparent plastic. Such a
safety glass sandwich" must re-
sist the destructive effects of
weather and the actinic rays of
sunlight and must be suitably
strong. Its outer surfaces must be
essentially parallel, otherwise it
would fail to transmit properly
views of the road ahead. The tests
employed to control all these fac
tors are intended to insure that
every sheet of safety glass which
goes into the manufacture of a car
or truck meet the various rigid in
spection requirements. If not, the
glass is rejected. The first test is
to submerge a sample of safety
glass in boiling water for eight
hours. This is intended to insure
that no low boiling point slovents
are present in the material cement
ing the two glass sheets to the
plastic. If bubbles should appear
they would indicate the presence of
such unwanted solvents and cause
rejection of the batch.

keep the departments efficiency on
a high level. This already has been
done in the State Tax Department
and in the Office of the State
Liquor Commissioner. The person
mel of these two departments is al
ready largely bipartisan and there
is general agreement they will not
be touched" The State Highway
Department, however, has many
good jobs which Democrats believe
they should get. There is the State
Police force for one thing. 1t is
not believed there would be any
great cleaning out in the ranks,
but hungry eyes are cast at the Of
fetal police positions higher UP.
1000 Clamor For Jobs
One thoroughly experienced po-
litician said that for the 100 or so
fairly good jobs that already have
been taken over since the new ad-
ministration started, there have
been no less than 1000 applicants
clamoring for the spoils. About
35 jobs have been taken over in
New Castle County-half a dozen
to each of the county officers and
one or two others. There have
been several changes in Kent
County, but these have been substi-
tuition of Democrats for Demo-
Gratis. In Sussex County the pa
tronage picture is confused by the
campaign coalition of Independent
Republicans and Democrats. The
elective offices were split about
evenly.
All County Offices Changed
All the county offices have been
cleaned out. But where Independ-
ent Republicans were elected they
have replaced rgular Rpublican in
cumbents with Republicans more
to their liking. Where Democrats
have been elected, they have re-
placed Republicans with Demo-
Gratis. This has resulted in giving
the Independent Republicans and
Democrats about a dozen appoint
i've county jobs each. 1t was furth-
er pointed out the Independent Re
publicans control the Sussex Coun-
ty Levy Court which may have a
score or so more jobs, though it
has much less to offer since the
county roads were taken over by
the State Highway Department.
In political circles the question
now is what will happen in the
State Board of Health which en-
ploys twenty or so nurses and doc
tors in the counties besides its ad-
ministrative staff in Dover. There
is also a big question mark over
the State Board of Education with
its Is or so administrative jobs,
and its various special positions.

Merchants Look In Vain for

Results of the picketting of Pier 2, delaying the steamer Yukon sailing from Seattle last Saturday by Alaska Cannery Workers, was apparent when the ship arrived here this morning and began to dis charge her cargo for Juneau.
 Of the considerable quantities of fresh meats and perishables sup posed to have been on the vessel for here, but little arrived No Ju- neau stores reported receiving any fresh fruits and vegetables. Only one received any considerable meat shipment, though two other markets did get in small orders, mainly chickens and cured meats.
 Nearly all Juneau stores, however reported receiving butter and eggs and many local merchants are ex- pecting good-sized orders on the motorship Northland due here to- night.
 Although much was missing thai should have arrived on the steamer Yukon, there is yet no fear of short age before stocks can be increased by next weeks ships.

percent Indians and Eskimos, as previously announced, is another step in Alaska development, the Regional Forester feels. Under this expansion plan, national forest boundary lines are jumped and the eco work will be carried on at projects throughout the Territory regardless of whether they are in the forest area.
 Primarily, due to seasonal em- ployment, it will be winter un- dertaking MT Heinzleman said, not cnly giving employment to men who otherwise would be idle but it should go a long ways in building many needed improvements.
 In this connection, the Regional Forester stated that Robert Fech- Iner, head of the eco, and Fred Morrell, in charge of that work for the Forest Service, would be in AL aska soon, leaving Seattle by steam tI Mdy 11, JO lOOh OFCl PiOpOoCO projects, and to make visit to var ious parts of the Territory, a trip on which MT Heintzleman will ac- company them. Later in the sum- mer, F. A. Silcox, Chief of the For est Service, also will make trip north, the new official reported.
 Cooperating with the Alaska Game Commission, it is planned this sum- mer to obtain graphic motion pie lures of wild life in the Territory, the Regonal Forester said, and these pictures, equipped with sound features, will be presented through cut the country.
 There is no reason that Alaskan wild life can not be capitalized and made to pay dividends just as it does in Africa" MT. Heinzlemsn said. We have a game paradise. With sufficient money we can make it even greater. Countless persons want to come to Alaska, particularly big game hunters It can be made a great resource, and perpetuated by proper management"
