Review Progress OF
Kent Land Committee
CONTINUED from First Page,

Board of Agriculture building in
Dover, a review of the progress
which has been made during the
past year was given by ]. E. II.
Lafferty, Representative of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, for the University of Della
ware, who assisted in organizing
this group and in directing its pol
icies in cooperation with the county
agent. County extension programs
also were discussed with reference
to how they might best meet the
needs of the county in connection
with the program for national de-
fense, the advisable use of the land,
the adjustment of our crop acres,
and the conservation of our ma
tural resources. Although much
has been accomplished by this land
use and rural planning committee
to date, there are many essential
things to do in the future as the
result of the war situation and the
changes in our entire economic
system in this country.
In order to obtain a cross sec
tion picture of the problems
throughout the county several
community meetings are held dur
ing the winter and spring months,
and the problems which are pre-
sented at these local meetings are
referred to the county land use and
rural planning committee for con-
sideration and action. Some of the
problems that are receiving the at
tention of this committee at pres
ent are farm labor, soil drainage
and the conservation of food and
all kinds of livestock feeds as de-
fense activities.

Draftees Warned By
Gen. VIM. Berl., Jr.
CONTINUED from FIRST Page,

1t is the policy of the Selective
Service System, General Berl said,
and of the Department Of Justice
which is charged with enforcement
of the act, to take action in those
cases where there is willful intent
to violate the law. Nevertheless,
he stressed, investigation of bor-
derline cases is taking up much
valuable time of local boards and
of Department of Justice agents
which should be devoted to urgent
work for national defense.
To relieve this situation, and al
so to protect registrants who do
not willfully try to violate the law,
General Berl has asked local
boards to use all means of investi
cation at their disposal before re-
porting apparent cases of delin-
quency to the Department Of JUS
tice.
In this connection, he stated that
there is no objection to a local
board using voluntary assistance
of local or state police officials to
find registrant who has failed to
respond to notification.

rates. he can safely assume his
cows have a 20 per cent reserve
capacity. In other words, a COW
producing 5000 pounds of milk at
about standard feeding levels can
raise her production to 5000
pounds a year II given an extra
1000 pounds of grain. II grain
costs less than milk sells for, il
is good business to use the extra
grain, Soper pointed out
Quoting the Presidents request
to buildup food reserves ITO meet
emergencies which can as yet be
only dimly foreseen," Soper said
the FSA is asking farmers to aban-
don the practice of selling calves
when milk prices are high. In
stead, clients are asked to increase
their herds by growing replace
ments bred from good dams and
herd sires.
Farmers with insufficient money
to buy the larger amounts of
grain recommended are receiving
loans from the FSA. In drought
areas government loans are being
made to farmers who might other
wise be forced to reduce their
herds because of hay shortage,
Soper said.
Fear that feed shortages may oc-
cur if there are transportation diff
ficulties has caused the FSA to ad-
wise borrowers to buy grain in ad-
vance of needs, pooling orders to
make savings through a purchas-
ing association wherever possible.
Short loans for the purchase of a
months supply of grain will be
made to families who are not feed
ing grain on pasture and need to
borrow money to start feeding it |
on a cash basis, the supervisor said
The Food for Defense" drive is
centered on milk, cheese, butter, |
eggs, pork, and certain vegetables.
FSA clients are being urged to pro-
duce added amounts of these foods |
both to, improve their own dinner |
table and to have more of a bal
ance for sale. The goals which
have been established are:
1. An Increase of three pints
of milk per COW per day. q An in
crease of 20 eggs per hen per year.
3. An increase in pork production
by taking care to prevent killing
of pigs between birth and wean-
ing. A. Increase in the production
and preservation of homegrown
fruits and vegetables by at least 10
per cent.

$4,000 Tons Of Ships
Sunk Yesterday,
Germans Claim
Submarine Is Credited
With II, 500 Tons in
North Atlantic
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 24.-Authorized
Germans said today $4,000 to $4,000
tons of British shipping had been
sunk yesterday.
This was said to include 27,500
tons sunk by a submarine in the
North Atlantic. The submarine re-
ported three tankers among its
victims.
The high command communique
said casualties ano damage in a
British air raid on Berlin last night
were negligible and authorized
sources said other raiders, striking
in the Kiel area, were turned back
from the city by anti-aUcraft fire.
Some civilian casualties and resi-
dental damage in Kiel were
acknowledged, however.
mo Military Damage"
In various residential sections of
Berlin, incendiary and explosive
bombs were dropped from great
attitudes, causing attic fires in some
places" the daily war bulletin said.
NO military damage resulted.
Some civilians who were outside
of air raid shelters were killed and
several injured.
IN addition to four pursuit planes
shot down in the Mediterranean
the enemy lost three other planes.
SIX OF our own planes are missing"

Income Tax

Building that the average indi-
Vldual tax payment last year was
| S22. However, the average payment
of the 5000 persons who filed claims
for refundS-and virtually all of
these were Government employees
amounted to Sl3.
Figuring 10000 Government work
ers possibly affected by today's de-
cision, tax officials estimated their
tax payment, roughly, at between
S25OOOO and 100000. The total
amount produced by the local in
come tax last year was 1927, 900.
Boards Decisions Affirmed.
Todays decisions of the Appellate
Court, written by Associate Justice
Miller, affirmed the decision of the
board in each case The corporation
counsels Office took the position that
both men were now domiciled here
But the court today reiterated its
decision that Federal duty requires
residential presence in the District,
upon the part of all who must come
and remain here TO do the work of
the Government"
The court declared: Accordingly,
We held that one who comes to the
District and remains to render serv-
ice to the Government which re-
quires his presence here, may main
tain his domicile in the State from
which he comes until the service ter
inmates, unless he gives clear evi-
dence of his intention to forego his
State allegiance: that the presump-
ton of continuity of State domicilia-
ton would require strong evidence
TO overcome it; that mere proof of
long residence in the District, or
ambiguous showing of intention to
change, would be insufficient for
this purpose; but that, instead, evi-
dence of intention to change domi-
cile must be clear and unequivocal.
An examination of the legislative
history of the act involved in the
present case clearly reveals congress
sional intent that the same result
should be reached in its adminis-
tration."
Further, the court observed: THE
rendering of Government service in
