MORE ICE CREAM

Here's good news for boys and
girls-and even for members of the
family who aren't boys and girls.
The u. S. Department of Agriculture
says that ice cream factories are
making much more ice cream than
they did only few years ago. In
fact, they are making more ice
cream than ever before.
Not all of the figures are available
on ice cream produced last year, but
year before last---in 1939--it added
up to a grand total Of more than
800, 100000 gallons. That was a
good increase over the year before,
and it was more than twice as much
ice cream as was produced in the de-
preston year of 1888. Even before
the depression, the most ice cream
produced in single year was
around 100000 gallons in 1929.

SURVEY SHOWS CONSERVATION
is PAYING INVESTMENT

Maryland farmers who are carry
ing out soil conservation programs
may find encouragement in the re-
suits of a survey made recently in
York county, Pennsylvania, accord
ing to John Cotton, conservationist
for the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service
This survey, Mr.. Cotton states,
in that area is worth at least two
and one-half times what it costs
farmers and the public. While con-
ditions vary somewhat, the survey
ors say that farmers in parts of
Maryland can use the results of this
survey as a yard-stick for soil-sav-
ing COSTS
Farmers in the area surveyed or
ganized a soil conservation district
under the terms of State law. The
u. s. Department of Agriculture
and other governmental agencies
have been assisting the district
board of farmer-supervisor with
equipment, materials, labor and the
help of technically trained men, II
this assistance is continued, farmers
in the district can install a sound
program of farm land conservation
within IS years, the survey figures
show.
Benefits to farmers from this H.
year conservation program will
amount to about $2.71 for each dol
lar of cost, according to the survey.
These benefits are figured in terms
of increased income resulting from
higher crop yields and better land
use. The cost on each acre of farm
land will total about $1,000.

DEFENsE SAYINGS STAMPS

Thirty-two thousand rural mail
carriers are now acting as agents in
the sale of Defense Savings Stamps,
postal officials have informed the
Treasury Department. Demand for
the stamps in sparsely settled dis
tricts caused the Post Office Depart
ment to authorize the carriers to
act as statesmen.
The stamps range in value from
ten cents to five dollars. Purchasers
are given albums in which they can
be mounted. When filed, the albums
may be exchanged for Defense Saw
ings Bonds.
Post Office officials recalled that
capacities in 1917 and 1918 selling
rural mail carriers acted in similar
War Savings Stamps.

I don't think we want to try to
block the development and use of
machines ON the farm. 1t would be
futile anyway. Rather, we must
work out means of using the ma
chine for socially desirable ends.
We must work with it and master it,
otherwise it is blind force that will
enslave us. Haven't we the brains
to use the machine--cooperatively
perhaps--so that all farmers may
share in its benefits I don't know
the answer but I do raise the ques-
ton, and say 1t presents challenge.

Is there a portable seed cleaning

it this fall is the advice of F. S.
Holmes, chief of the Maryland Seed
Inspection laboratory. If there is
not, he suggests that you contact
your agricultural leaders and find
out why. Better seeds, he says, mean
better crops; better crops mean
greater profits for the producer. For
better crops, plant seeds that are
free from weed seeds and diseases,
of high vitality, and of an adapted
strain.

A Man-Made Miracle

Not the least of the miracles"
wrought by American industry In
the cause of National Defense has
been that of having men ready to
man the machines that turn out guns
and tanks and planes. And most of
us are ready to accept this ability to
have workers available when needed
as miracle-or perhaps as yet anoth-
err rabbit pulled out of the hat by
the master magicians of our indus
trial economy. We forget that in
this as i'm other cases of apparent
production wizardry the trick is
really no trick at all. 1t is the result
Of careful foresight and long years
of painstaking preparation.
AS example of such foresight and
preparation is the long-range train
ling program of General Motors, un-
der way since 1919 when the Gem
eral Motors Institute at Flint, Mich
igan, was founded. How this pro-
gram stepped UP to the problems of
training for defense is depicted in
an article in the current issue of
|"GM Folks, employee publication Of
the corporation. Details of accom-
plishment need not be mentioned
here. The points to be stressed are:
A great corporation is now turn
ing out millions of dollars of de-
Tense goods every month.
This production results from the
efforts of thousands of trained
workers.
Training of these workers was not
a miracle that happened overnight.
1t was dividend declared ON
years of careful planning.
And it might be added that care
full planning is what most modern
miracles boil down to when subject
to analysis.

A Week of Sports

Last week second annual Golden
Belt Basketball Tournament was a
greater success than the first one a
year 1870. and IS abundant reward
for efforts of those who have spon-
sored the event these tWo years.
Public support, while leaving much
still to be desired, is a matter Of
encouragement toward moving on to
higher achievements next year and
the years that will follow.
Those who frequented the tourna-
ment events both years must testify
that last weeks affair offered keen
er competition and a better quality
Of the basketball sport than the first
meet. There We're more entries and
tougher matches. And we think it
can be said with equal truth that the
character of craftsmanship exhibited
by the participants was finer and
mor generous.
All o.. these considerations enter
into the equation in achieving sue
cess for an athletic program OF this
type. and they have been evident
this year in noticeable degree.
Henderson did itself proud in its
role as host to the visiting high
school teams. The community
usually measures up fully in that
respect. Fans who attended the
game. showed their appreciation, too,
Of the nigh plane to which the
matches were held and of the excel
lance Of the playing by all Compel
ing units.
This city had two of the finest
teams III the tournament that it has
ever offered in this branch Of
sports. The boys should and prob
ably would have come out On top
by going through the finals had they
not met the unequal competition
lat eliminated them. There was
every indication that they could
have overcome any team entered ex-
cept the one which proved their I'm
doing.
The girls kept their record Of
three years clean by sailing through
another season without a defeat
from any quarter, and now have
fifty-seven consecutive victories to
their credit, an accomplishment that
can be claimed by no other hlgh
school team in the State, boys or
girls, so far as we have heard, with
possibly the single exception OF one
boys team. They have brought great
| credit and prestige to Henderson
! high school and to the community,
! and deserve the universal congratu-
| lations that have come their way.
A year ago at the end Of the first
! basketball tournament, this news
paper expressed the hope that
another and others would be held
another now has been, and here is
the sincere wish that next year
will see an even greater and better
season and tournament than any
so far.
