espionage and sabotage of American
plants.
The United States actually was fight
ing in Europe before the press of this
new activity resulted in any substan-
tial increase in the number of its secret
agents during the last war Today, a
number of special agents has been
added to the forces of the F.. B. l., and
additional F.. B. I. Offices established
in strategic locations both in the con-
tinental United States and its terri
tories, for the primary purpose OF pro-
tecting the national defenses of the
country against spies and destruction.
The special agents engaged in this
work have received extra training in
national defense requirements, in a Sc
rles OF in-service courses inaugurated
in 1899, and for which they are as
sembled periodically in Washington.
Local Police Trained.
In addition, some 400 graduates of the
F. B. rs famed National Police Acad-
emy are now spotted among the coun-
try's police forces. They have received
a thorough technical course in espio-
mage, sabotage and other violations of
the National Defense Act, so that these
specially trained local police officers
are prepared to cooperate with the F.
B. I. and supplement their slender
forces In this difficult work.
The protective activities Of the F. B.
rs special agents in this field have
been extended to cover those industrial
plants producing strategic or military
materiel for the American forces. Apart
from detecting spies or sabotage ex.
perts who may have insinuated them
selves into dangerous positions in such
plants, their duties are to watch for
evidences of their activity, such as
fires, or deliberate explosions, and to
guide plant executives in protecting
their operations from such attempts,
with advice on installation OF protec-
tive devices and safety measures.
During the first war, for instance, it
was eventually disclosed that there
were potential 1000, 900 or more enemy
aliens in the country, of whom 1600,0 900
were working in industry. It is sig
nificant Of this country's attitude then,
and perhaps now. that only about 5000
Of this large number In that earlier
situation were detained. even after this

OF II great multi-purpose dams backing
up lakes with q total length of nearly
1000 miles, Tennessee and its neighbor-
ing States are beginning to show evidence
of an industrial growth which should
affect profoundly their future and add
greatly to the prosperity and wel-being
of the South.
Two of the great Tennessee River
dams. Hiwassee and Chickamauga, were
closed this spring and will begin gen.
Grating power during the summer. Four
other great dams, which had been COM
pleted prior to the close of the past
fiscal year, in addition to the original
Wilson Dam, on the loop of the Tennes-
see extending into Alabama, are being
operated as one chain to achieve the
multiple public benefits of navigation.

These dams are Norris, Guntersville,
Wheeler and Pickwick Landing.
One to Cost $95,000,o00.
Work on the greatest of the Tennessee
River dams. near the mouth of the river
at Gilbertsville, KY, about 221a miles
from Paducah, Is far advanced and Is
progressing with great rapidity. This
great dam, which is expected to cost
sos 100000 without installations for elec-
trio power, will be exceeded in magnitude
and reservoir capacity only by Boulder
Dam, the Grand Coulee Dam and the
Fort Peck Dam in the West 1t will back
up lake extending into three States,
with a lake basin of 256,000 acres, a
length of 1874 miles and a shore line of
1880 miles. Something of the size of
this lake may be appreciated when it is
recalled that the shoreline of Lake Su-
perior, the worlds largest fresh-water
lake, has stretch OF 1,750 miles. In
view of its tremendous future Importance
in the economic development of the
whole area, however, the Gilbertsville
project ranks near the top among the
great engineering projects of the Nation.
Work on the smaller Watts Bar Dam,
$50 miles above the mouth of the Ten
nessee, between Chickamauga Dam and
the mouth of the Clinch River, also is
progressing rapidly. Construction of the
Gilbertsville Dam was authorized in De-
cember, 1887, and the dam is scheduled
to be closed by March, 1945 The Watts
Bar project was authorized year ago
and the dam is to be closed in April,
1912, with initial operation for power
later in that year.
One additional dam, near Coulter
Shoals, Tenn, not yet authorized, will
be required to complete $50 miles of nav
igation channel, with minimum depth

unloaded the bags from the car.
The train did not stop at Bridge
vile and he was unable to leave
the train with the corn. He alight-
ed at Seaford, walked back to
Bridgeville, and found that the
bags of corn had aroused so much
suspicion that he soon found him
self under arrest by State police.
He admitted it was his second
corn-stealing try by that method,
his first being successful, police
said. George Mitchell, Daniel
Mitchell, and William Bleen, charg-

the understanding they pay the
costs of the case and make restitu-
ton within three months.

NO POSTOFFICE
AT MIDDLETOWN
U. S. POstpOnes Construction
of $4,000 Post Office at
MiddletOwn
DIVERTED FOR DEFENSE

Postponement of construction OF
the projected $4,000 postoffice at
over which Middle
towns mayor and council and the
Academy trustees have
battled for the past two years, was
by officials of the Public
Administration in Wash
ington. The reason given for the
postponement was that the admin
istration officials were honoring the
request of President Roosevelt that
projects be postponed
in favor of defense projects. The
officials pointed out that only those
projects on which no bids had been
asked and no construction actually
started will be delayed. A number
of other projects in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania will also be de-
1ayed. Mayor Louis Levinson, who
said that he had received word re-
Gently from U. S. Senator James H.
Hughes that the construction had
been indefinitely postponed, reiter-
ated the intention of Middletown
Council to continue the fight to
keep the historic academy building
and lawn for a community recrea-
tionaI and educational center. The
site has been selected for the post
Office. cat the present time we are
waiting for a decision from the
Court of Chancery on our petition
for the appointment of receiver
for the Middletown Academy Trus-
tees" Mayor Levinson said. Mayor
Levinson emphasized that council
did not wish to block any move of
the federal government to build q
postoffice but did not want the
building constructed on the old
academy site. I'VE use the build
ing and grounds for a playground
to keep our children off the street
and in the future hope to make the
building a library, adult education
center, vocational training center
and hall for community activit-
ies," he said.

81 Percent of Farms in This Coun-
tY in Conservation Program

The extent to which farmers in
Kent county are participating in
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram is indicated by the fact that
1884, or "a percent, of the 1854
farms in the county are now in
this program, according to figures
which have been released in the
1910 annual report by County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, secretary
of the Kent County Agricultural
Conservation Association. These
1884 farms represent a total of
300 1928 acres of farm land, or 1884,
SIT acres considered as crop land
on which there is a general soil-de-
pleting allotment of Al, 704 acres,
in addition to a wheat allotment of
1882 acres, and a commercial
vegetable allotment of 12,137 acres.
AS indications are that Kent coln-
ty will be included in the corn al
lotment program in 1871, members
of the county committee including
R. Harry Wilson, H. Clifford Clark
and Laurence E. Cain have prepar-
ed corn yields and acreages for
each representative district in the
county. This information will be
used as a basis for determining the
average corn yields preparatory to
setting up the acreage allotments
in compliance with the rulings
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration. For the pur-
pose of considering any propos-
ed changes in the 1941 farm pro-
gram, as pertaining to Kent county
and the entire state, a meeting OF
county and community committee
men was held last May in the State
Board of Agriculture building. At
frequent intervals throughout the
year r. o. Stelzer, state executive
officer for Delaware and Maryland,
met with these committeeman and
field supervisors to discuss various
phases OF the agricultural conser-
walton program and the methods OF
procedure for placing the ob1ec-
tives Of this program before the
farmers. With reference to the
lime grant Of aid program there
were S29 tons OF lime used by Kent
county farmers this past year as
soilbuilding practices in earning
units In connection with the con-
servation program. This total
quantity of lime included SO tons
OF hydrated lime, 445 tons of burn
ed lime and 291 tons of grounc
limestone, and the reports which
have been turned into the county
extension Office by field supervisors
