DAIRY GROUP
DISCUSS PLANS
Plan Winter Activities; To
Expand Group; High
er Production Asked
AIM TO REDUCE COST

Directors of the Kent County
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-
tion recently met with Kenneth w.
Baker, County Agent Supervisor
and Coordinator, of the University
of Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, and County Agent Russell
E. Wilson in the State Board of
Agriculture building to discuss
plans for this association during
the coming year. This association
was organized over two years ago
by a group of dairy farmers inter-
ested in having official tests made
each month of the milk and butter
fat production of each cow in the
herd, and during this period some
interesting and valuable informa-
ton has been obtained to serve as
a guide to these dairymen in de-
termining their highest producing
animals. These official tests had
to be discontinued last June, how
ever, due to the resignation of the
herd tester and the unsuccessful
efforts of the association to secure
another tester during the summer,
but it is hoped that the testing
work can be resumed within a short
time. AS the result of the nation
al defense program, the federal
government is requesting an in
crease in thte production of milk
along with several other foods, and
"one practical and economic meth
cd of attaining this goal is the
practicing of better feeding meth
DDS to secure more milk per COW at
lower production COSTS" the group
reports. "Unless records are kept
relative to thte milk and butterfat
production of each individual COW
in the herd, however, it is impossi-
BILE for a dairy farmer to know
which animals should be retained
and which ones should be sold.
This is one of the chief reasons for
joining a Dairy Herd Improvement
Association, which also furnishes
the farmer with information con-
cerning the sale value of calves
that are produced by these animals
which show high milk and butter
fat test over period of years.
With increasing price of feed con-
fronting farmers today, and higher
costs of labor and other expenses,
it is more essential than ever that
serious consideration be given to
reducing the cost of producing
farm products, and culling out all
non-profitable cows is one way for
dairy farmers to realize greater
profits from their herds.

Sugar Industry in South
Was Born in Old Kettle

BATON ROUGE, LA. old iron
kettle, blackened by the many fires
over which it has hung in the past
200 years, rests on the campus of
Louisiana State university as
memorial to the man who made
Louisiana's sugar industry possible.
Indigo was the money crop when
the French planter aristocracy
owned plantations that stretched for
miles along the bayous and lakes of
southern Louisiana at the end of the
Eighteenth century. Jean Etienne
de Bore was no exception.
De Bore was born in the Illinois
section of the Louisiana Purchase
territory. At the age of four he
was taken to France by his parents
where he received his education
and later married into large colonial
holdings.
He returned to New Orleans with
his wife about the time of the
French revolution and established
his plantation on what now is a
part of Audubon park near the city
limits.
There he engaged in the planting
of indigo. When blight, however,
wiped out the indigo crops, De Bore
and the other planters were faced
with bankruptcy.
Many planters already had tried
to granulate sugar from cane juice,
but their experiments failed time
after time. De Bore, overriding the
protests of his wife, decided to have
a fling at the sugar business.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

The windows of the Methodist
Church are being reloaded this
week.
Monday was observed all over
the United States as Navy Day.
In Smyrna a number of persons
placed their flags outside.
After the cool weather of SUM-
day evening-the thermometer reg
istered 46 degrees = the warm
spring-like weather of Monday was
quite change.
The annual November Member
ship Roll Call of the w. c. T. u.
will be held in Asbury Methodist
Church on Tuesday, November 4th
at 7.30 o'clock.
The Methodist Youth Fellowship
will hold their annual Halloween
party tomorrow night at '7.30
o'clock. All members planning to
attend are requested to mask.
Ground has been broken by Miss
Blome on South Street, immediate
ly in the rear of Mrs. Lucy Hur-
lock for a two-story house which
when completed will be occupied
by Mrs. Lorette Niles.
The installation of the water and
sewer pipes on Cummins Street
has been completed. These pipes
were extended from Union Street
to Delaware Street, and will supply
all the homes on Summins Street
in that area.
For the first time in many years,
farmers have been able to cut and
husk their corn without any heavy
transforms. Usually at this time
of the year there is a series of rain
storms thta prevent the farmer
from finishing his work once they
have started.
Farmers are complaining that
late potatoes are so small. One
farmer said that out of his whole
patch, most of them were as large
as marbles, and a few as large as
hens eggs. Because there was no
rain in the early fall, the potatoes
did not have time to mature, hence,
our small potatoes.

Horse Show Results
King James, owned and ridden by
Vaughn H. Richardson of Sails
bury, was crowned champion horse
of the horse show. Judged on
points on her performances in the
various events, King James won
for her owner the special trophy
provided by Nickerson Brothers of
Barclay, Md. She was first in the
open and qualified hunters class
and in the knock down and out
jump, and second in the working
hunters, outside course, class. Lit
tie Ann Magee of Dover rode her
Polly to win in the opening event,
for saddle ponies, IL hands and
under. King Cole, sturdy black
pony from Gunston School, near
Centreville, Md, ridden by Mary
Ann Ellington, won acclaim time
after time as his short legs carried
him over jumps nearly as tall as
himself, and he gave a good ac-
count of himself in the working
hunters class against the competi-
tion of longer-legged and bigger
horses. One accident marred the
day. Mrs. Edith K. Ruth, North
Governors Avenue, Dover, is in
Kent General Hospital suffering a
fractured arm and fractured
shoulder blade as result of being
knocked down by horse. The
horse, holding the lead at the time
over the other two entries in
running race, one of the later
events on the program, bolted and
ran from the track into the infield
near a turn not far from the show
judges stand. Physicians on the
ground and State Police had her
removed to the hospital in station
wagon.

Famed Author Tells of
His Flight From Nazis

NEW YORK.-A tale of tragedy
and seemingly hopeless delays in
reaching America was told through
tears by Frank Paul, Viennese au-

With his wife. Edit, Paul fled
Vienna before the Nazi invasion, and
finally reached French Morocco,
where they hoped to get boat for
America. Delays in getting exit
visas drove his wife to suicide, he
said, only few days before the
visas arrived.
