consideration of the plea of Rep
Summers for a rule for
the national representation resolu-
ton. Mr.. Summers made his APP

Representative Summers said last
night he had not been advised of
the meeting and would not attend
unless invited. At the same time

for his presence if the committee
finds time to resume consideration
of his plea for a rule, since he pre-
sented his case fully Wednesday.

to have all IA members Of the
committee present when action Is
taken on the request of Representa-
tive Summers Ten of the members

take part in the committees pro-
ceedings tomorrow He is Repre-
sentative Delaney, Democrat, of New

predicted last night that Wendell
L. WILKES support of some form
of selective service" would prove
decisive in assuring passage of the
Burke-Wadsworth compulsory mill
tary training bill.
They declared CONSUMPTION had
been removed as a campaign issue
and that many Of the estimated 20
to IS Senators who had opposed the
measure or who had been nom
committal would now support ii
without seeking a compromise delay
in the draft until January l.
Chairman Sheppard of the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee said
he thought the speech of the Repub-
lican presidential nominee made
passage even more certain than
before" He declared a vote prob
ably would be taken the latter part
of the week.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. OF
Montana, leader of the bipartisan
group opposing the bill, considered
Mr.. WILKES statement "as an ar
gument that can be construed
either way"
Wheeler Disaxrees.
Mr.. Willkie came out for selec-
tive service" said Senator Wheeler
but we can have selective service
without CONSUMPTION, throu:h vol
untary enlistments. I don't think
it will have any effect on the vote.
Mr.. Willkie, he added, spoke in
generalities without stating wheth-
er he is for compulsory military
training in peacetime.
A vote probably will be taken
early in the week, Senator Shep-
pard said, on the compromise pro-
posal of Senator Maloney, Democrat
of Connecticut. which would defer
consumption until January l and
encourage one-year voluntary en-
listments meanwhile to obtain
needed man power. Registration
of all men between 81 and 81 would,
however, begin Immediately. Sena-
tor Wheeler announced he would
vote for the compromise if no other
way was found to prevent peacetime
CONSUMPTION.
Defense Bill Increased.
While the Senate prepared to re-
sumo debate on CONSUMPTION to-
morrow, Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee made ready to sub
NIT to the full committee a $5,0O8.-
100000 supplemental defense bill
The subcommittee added $4,000 900
in direct appropriations and $10,-
100000 in contract authorizations
for the Army and Navy to the
$4,963, 900 900 previously voted by
the House.
The Senate also was expected to
expedite approval OF changes made
by the House in the bill empower
ing President Roosevelt to order
out the National Guard and Or
ganized Reserves. Some objection
was expected to deletion of Sec

would have made 1t an unfair labor

planning such a program, there
fore, it is essential that extension
agents and cooperating individuals
have a knowledge of the agricul-
tural and economic situation with
in the county, and its relationship
to state and national problems.
Along with the various federal pro-
jects, including the agricultural
conservation program, prevention
of soil erosion, agricultural credit,
crop insurance and rural electri-
fication, the extension program
consists also of projects involving
poultry and dairy, husbandry, field
and truck cropsfi orchard and vine
yard spray service, pasture and
hay crops and land use and rural
planning, in addition to numerous
miscellaneous activities with agri-
cultural and civic organizations
and farm and home problems. The
poultry program for the coming
year will include account records
showing the total receipts and ex-
penditur4s of the poultry business,
flock improvement demonstrations
on management and production of
higher quality Matching eggs, poul-
try housing demonstrations on con-
struction and remodeling, use of
home grown feeds, and cooperation
with the Delaware Poultry I'm
provement Association in its pro-
gram for better and more profit
able poultry. The Kent County
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-
ton in which milk and butterfat
production records are obtained
from cows under official test, advo-
eating a greater use of home
grown feeds in the dairy ration,
and pasture improvement are the
chief projects in the dairy pro-
gram. In the field of truck crops
the projects of cost of production
and fertilization of tomatoes will
continue along with the mailing of
spray notes to all truck and veg
etable growers. Orchard and vine
yard spray service also will be con-
tinued for the benefit of fruit
growers in regard to insect and
disease control, and special atten-
tion will be given to home gardens
and home storage of vegetables.
The intensive phase of the land use
and rural planning program has
been completed in Kent county,
and the unified phase will be start
ed shortly after the rst of the year
in cooperation with the county
land use committee consisting of
representative farmers and farm
women who will discuss the agri-
cultural and social problems of the
county.
