Crop Loans Are Now
Available To Farmers
Continued from First Pags)

A crop lien is required as secur-
ity where loan is for the produc-
tion of cash crops. Where far
mer obtains a loan for the pur-
chase OF feed or production Of feed
crops, a chattel mortgage on the
stock to be fed is required.
Mr.. Richards states that these
loans are made in amounts up to
$40O and the interest rate is A per
cent; however. the amount is gov
erned by the acreage to be planted
or the livestock to be fed.
Farmers are urged to avail
themselves of the benefits that can
be received through compliance
with the Agricultural Conservation
Program. The Emergency Crop
and Feed Loan Office insists that
its borrowers adhere to the ap-
proval practices as recommended
by the Extension Service.
Applications for these loans may
be made at the state office which is
located in the basement of the
postofIice building in Dover.

quantity Of goods, pulled out his
pocketbook and paid for all articles
bought. When he went out Of the
store where the goods were being
sold, he found there were no
lights. Evidently vending his way
to the rear of the store, where pos
sibly his car was parked, he was
robbed by what is believed TO be
crowd of "roughnecks" who had
seen him displaying his money
while making the purchases. Be-
heving that he had met foul play,
when found back of the store, he
was rushed to medical attention.
What the examination showed or
what his condition is the officers
do not have a thorough report on
the case. There is belief that a
sandbag was used, the, robbery
took place and his purse was left
beside him. officers are making an
investigation and some arrests may
take place within a few days.

is becoming, next to the apple
crop, one of the most important
fruit crops in the state.
The peach crop once more is
coming into its own. There was a
time when Delaware had the title Of
the Peach State" as well as the
Diamond State" and the blue
Hen State"
The peach crop became passe be-
cause of the diseases and orchard
lists found it necessary to make
their ground sterile and get rid of
the diseases. Hence, what hap
pened was that they destroyed
their orchards and Delaware for
many years was no more looked
upon as the favorite peach state.
Conditions have changed within
the past ten. years and rural folks
are once more getting back to the
period of forty years ago, because
they realize that the peach crop
once more is becoming an inpor-

ot-Free Regimen Effective Says Doctor

Besides this, a staple of treat
ment is the use of thyroid extract.
This, Of course, must be used un-
der the care of a physician. There
are many theoretical reasons to
suppose that thyroid is useful in
acne. Thyroid certainly has some
relation to fat nutrition. Many
physicians hesitate to give thyroid
to acne patients because labora-
tory tests do not indicate any rea-
son for such an administration.
But this is not a necessary condi-
ton to its use and it should be
given in full dosage, this being
determined by the discretion Of
the physician.
The patient is told not to injure
the skin Of the face in any way as
by rubbing. Any non-medicated
soap will do for washing. It
should be used gently with tepid
water mot hot, which melts the
oil in the pimples). Sore spots
should be let alone. Don't use
vaseline or other oil on the hair:
it gets on the face. No local treat
ment Of the pimples is necessary,
mot even the classical sulphur
ointment"
Improvement can be observed,
by this method, in = week, is we'll
defined in a month, and is excel
lent within six months. If i'm

doctor who got up this form Of
treatment thinks something was

ministered.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
NJ. R.:-"Please tell me if the
sunlight is as beneficial through
the window glass as is the direct
sunlight out of DOORS"
Answer - No. Window glass
filters out the ultraviolet rays.
The subject was fully discussed
in the column in the past weeks.
r. B. B.:-"I have often heard
it said that white -four bread has
no nourishment. Is this true? l
am using soy bean and whole
wheat. Is that better?"
Answer-White flour bread is
one of the most nourishing foods
on earth. Whole wheat and soy
bean -four have more vitamin con-
tent but not more nourishment.
