FARMERS SPEND
MORE FOR FOOD
Survey Proves That Farmers
Spend More For Food
Than Other Items
EXAMPLES GIVEN

Rural Delawareans must use
their food resources to better ad-
vantage if they are going to regain
the reputation of being better fed
than their city cousins" states
Miss Louise r. Whitcomb home
management specialist for the Uni
versity of Delaware, who has just
completed a survey with Sc farm
families. One of the startling dis
coveries coming out of Miss Whit
combs survey is the revelation
that these families have been
spending more money for food than
for any other one item. The aver
age yearly food bill fir a family of
four was $245-not a sizeable fig
ure for a city family of four, but
farm families who have every
chance to produce many items of
food right at home could likely do
better. Miss Whitcomb finds from
her survey that the families pro-
duced $3.50 worth of food per fam
lily, an average of AZ per cent of all
the food consumed. Some of the
families included in Miss Whit
combs survey actually produced
most of their food at home. One
of the four-member families OBJ
tanned 72 per cent of its food needs
from the farm. Another family of
eight realized "a per cent of its
food from farm and home produc-
tion-proving that producing two
thirds of the family food supply on
the farm, set up by Miss Whitcomb
as a goal for rural Delawareans,
can be accomplished. Farm fam
lilies able to produce good proper
tion of their food probably have
more cash to use for farm and
home improvement. Another ad-
vantage food from the farm" pro-
vides is the availability of more
fresh foods to give varied, ap-
petizing diet. The Sc families in
the University of Delaware survey
realized more money savings by
producing garden vegetables than
they did for any other one food
item. Dairy products, meats, eggs
and poultry followed vegetables in
their Importance as popular Della
ware home-produced foods.

OYSTER SEASON
OPENS MONDAY
Continued from Page One)

Prime Hook, Slaughter and Cedar
Beaches, the principal longing
places on the Delaware Bay.
Expect Good Shipments
Plans are said to be under way
at Milton to open packing plant
to purchase all of the oysters tong
ed in that section.
Within the next few weeks, ship
loads are expected to be made from
Lynnhaven, Cherrystone, Tangier
and Blue Point in Virginia. The
Cherrystone and Blue Point oysters
are among the most popular in
some markets, while the Chinco-
league, Franklin City, and Stock
ton, Va, oysters are popular in the
Wilmington, Chester and Philadel-
phia areas.
1t has been the custom for dec
AIDES for the tongers to take oysters
during the months in which the let
ter "R" appears. AS the letter
"R" does not appear in May, June,
July and August, the bivalvse are
not considered palatable. One rea-
son for the layoff during these four
months is because of the spawning
season which is going on during
these four months. 1t is estimated
that a good size oyster is capable
of shedding from fifty to sixty mil
lion eggs at one time. The egg de-
velopes into an embyro and within
eight to twelve hours become larva.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

After the cool autumn weather
with we experienced last week, op-
pressive heat descended upon the
town, shattering the hopes of those
who had hoped that we would have
no more torrid weather this sum-
mer.
At SWANS. Pharmacy, the Dolly
Madison Ice Cream Company has
placed in the show window one of
their large mechanical dolls. The
doll is operated by electricity and
is controlled by concealed motor
which causes the doll to bow, and
move her arms. She is dressed in
a beautiful Colonial costume of
blue silk, and stands aboht three
feet tall.
After next Monday, the town will
seem strangely quiet, and the rea-
son will suddenly be obvious. All
the children who romped through
the streets for the past two months
are back in school, ,subdued by di-
cipline, and struggling over geo.
graphy.
And with the starting of school,
we realize with a start that the
summer too is over. Many will
shake their heads and say "Where
has it gone-how did the time slip
by so quickly, without my noticing
it?"
A four-foot snake was discovered
by Charles Deakyne on his South
Street steps this week. The snake
was curled in black mass, Sleep
ing in the sun, when it was startled
by Mr.. Deakyne's appearance, and
made a break for safety. Mr.. Dea-
kyne caught the reptile before it
had gone far.

require far greater number of
workers than have applied for the
training, it was indicated. Will
mington residents and persons liv-
ing within committing distance of
the city were urged to enroll for
defense training as soon as pos
sible. Similar classes in down-state
sections will be opened as soon as
equipment and tools can be secur-
ed. The matter of housing the
newly trained workers in the vicin-
ity of one of the plants requiring
them is now being investigated. 1t
is hoped that when trainees living
beyond committing distance have
finished the course, this problem
will have been solved. Instruction
in the classes is free, 1t was en-
phasized. The meeting of the coun-
Gil was attended by representatives
of the regional office of the Social
Security Board, members of the
Board of Education, and officials of
some defense industries in Will
mington. The council is composed
of R. w. Helm, state director of
vocational education Elmer Smith,
director of the State Employment
Service; Clarence Keyes, director
of the National Youth Administra-
tion. The council has been at work
for over a month on it's plan to
train workers quickly for defense
jobs to meet the requirements of
Delaware industry. The training
is planned to be completed in three
or four months and prepares a
worker for one specific production
job. Applications are being receiv-
ed at the offices of the Delaware
State Employment Service at COL
Shipley Street, Wilmington; West
Market Street, Georgetown, and
307 South State Street, Dover.

Free classes to train workers for

plications for the training are now
being received, a spokesman for
the State Employment Service,
said last week. He said that many
persons have applied for enroll
ment through the service, and that
the applicants are being assigned
to classes as quickly as possible.
Additional classes in sheet metal
work are being formed here, he
added. In a short time evening
classes will be available to give
training in defense work to per-
sons now employed in non-essential

A complete bivalve shell develops
within two days from the larvae,
and in about six weeks enlarges to
six times its original size. During
this period the larva or baby oys-
ter" swims about in the water. 1t
cements itself to something in the
water after the she'll grows. 1t may
settle on various objects, including
oyster shells, at any water level.
Once it is attached, it loses its
swimming faculty and quickly de-
velolps rulimentary adult qualities,
becoming known as "spat". When
the larva settles on an object it is
called a "spatfall."

suring eight by eight inches and
weighing well over 200 pounds, was
carried by the wind $50 yards from
the barn to the school building
where it rested against a stone
wall without damage after missing
numerous cars in parking space.
Workmen started repairing the
roof and clearing the debris Mon
day afternoon. Damages was es-
timated at $4,000.
Air4ield Hit Hard
Prior to striking the school the
wind had smashed five airplanes of
the Atlantic Aviation Service, Inc,
at the DUPONT Airport. Six others
suffered costly damage. The wind
churned the planes together and
deposited several in a heap at the
edge of the woods. While buildings
at the airport escaped damage, two
of the towering obstruction poles
in front of the woods on the east
side of the field were bent to the
ground by the force of the blow.
Trees were torn up by the roots
and branches Uttered the ground.
Homes Damaged
The portion of Westover Hills
west of Old Baltimore Pike was lit
tered by trees and branches. Sew
eral homes were damaged. The
pike, approaching the airport from
Lancaster Avenue, was strewn by
fallen trees. Damage to trees and
shrubbery was high in western Will
mington. Details of police helped
clear away wreckage and what
could not be removed was guarded
by officers. Throughout the after
noon and night, sightseeing motor
lists created problem for police
where damage was the heaviest.
The Wilmington Country Clubs
golf course was Uttered and shrub
berry was leveleld. In the Beaver
Valley district, the Brandywine
Creek threatened to flood for a
time by the sudden onrush of wat
er. Edward r. Mack, superintend-
ent of the Board of Park Commis-
sioners, said that hundreds of trees
in city parks had been ruined and
damaged by the storm. He said it
was not possible to estimate the
loss until detailed check had been
made. State Police said damage
could not be exaggerated" Many
of the suburban streets were block
ed off by fallen trees and main
arteries such as the Philadelphia
Pike and Holly Oak Road were lit
tered by branches and bits of de-
bris ranging from shingles to piec-
es of smashed porch and garden
furniture.
All Traffic Held Up
All traffic on the Philadelphia
Pike was halted temporarily near
the Holly Oak Road while a fallen
tree was being removed. A high
way crew cut off one segment of
the huge trunk to open a single
lane for traffic. Telephone and
electrical lines in the neighborhood
were torn down and lay enmeshed
with the fallen trees. Hundreds of
workers of the Diamond State
Telephone Company, Delaware
Power and Light Company, Street
and Sewer Department, and Board
of Park Commissioners worked all
night to restore communications
and clear streets.

They are men who are blind or

First perfected by the Ford Motor
Company, it soon was adopted by
all motor car makers.
Coal pulverized so fine it is like
