DAIRY LETTERS
AID TO FARMER
Distributed to 260 in Kent
County, These Service Let
ters Solve Problems
PLAN DAIRY SCHOOL

AS the cost of producing milk
can be materially lowered by the
greater use of homegrown feeds
in the dairy ration, advocating this
practice is one of the important
projects of the University of Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice in cooperation with commit
tee of representative dairymen in
each county. When this project
was started in Delaware last win
ter several hundred dairy farmers
sent in to their county extension
offices cards requesting this infor-
nation which consisted of a series
of printed letters containing sug-
questions relative to dairy rations
and pasture mixtures for different
seasons of the year. In Kent coun-
ty there were 260 requests for
these dairy service letters, which
were prepared by Kenneth W. Bak-
er, farm management specialist
and extension economist, who is
now county agent supervisor and
coordinator, at the University of
Delaware. These letter were dis
tributed through the office of Coun-
/ ty Agent Russell E. Wilson, who
has sent a letter recently to each
cooperating dairy farmer request
ing that a card be filled out indi-
eating the extent to which this in
formation has been of assistance in
the solution of the problems of
feeding and dairy herd manage
ment. The data obtained from
these survey cards will be tabulat-
ed for each county, and will be
used also in planning this project
for another year. All dairy farm
ers who have received these survey
cards are urged, therefore, to check
and return them to the county ex-
tension Office as soon as possible,
as this information will give a
cross section picture of how this
phase of the dairy program may be
of increasing help to those who en-
roll to receive these timely service
letters. The dairy advisory SOM
mittee for Kent county includes
Lyndon D. Caulk of Woodside, FL
mer Pratt and w. Smithers Snow
of Smyrna, Dudley Crossley of
Clayton, Nathaniel w. Taylor OF
Dover, and Douglas Fry of Milford,
who assisted in planning the dairy
school which was held in Dover
last February as part of this pro-
gram for the use of homegrown
feeds for higher milk production
kAnother dairy school will be helc
sometime this winter, as those who
attended the previous one stated
it was the most instructive days
ever spent in discussing dairy prob.
lens in this county.

Colonies Not Worth Fighting For
AS to return of Germany's colo
nies, DR.. Jones declared that no
colony is worth one day of fighting,
that a colony is a liability rather
than an asset. DR.. Jones told the
ministers and laymen that most of
the so-called democracies of the
world really are not democracies,
and if at the close of the last. war
there had been a forgiving spirit
among nations the world would not
be in its present state of turmoil
and bloodshed. He said the means
being used toward obtaining peace
are contradictory to peace itself.

Country Schools

One-room, country schools
are fast growing to be a thing
of the past. Soon they will
be just a part of the memory
of those who knew what it
was to sit in one room for
eight years, taught by one
teacher, with perhaps fifteen
other children, of all ages
from six to sixteen, as class
mates.
That modern education far
surpasses this method is cer-
tain. Large, roomy school
buildings, the grade system,
the books and modern tech
nique in teaching, the COM
forts and conveniences - all
are a forward step. But the
old country school, in spite of
it's drawbacks, was the ground
work of many a prominent
man and many a successful
woman today.
So, in its day, the one-room
school in the country was ade-
quate, and it's alumni Tin pro-
portion to size), must rank
just as high in professional
fields as modern day gradu-
ates. Like all other things,
changing times and changing
conditions have placed country
schools out of existence, ex-
cept in the memories of those
who cherish a part of the days
gone by.
The old Walkers school bell,
in the school museum here,
will be a relic enjoyed and ap-
preciated by a great number
of people in this vicinity who
were pupils in the. now non
existent Walkers School, No.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
was very glad indeed to read
your editorial comments regarding
the active campaign launched by
the police department of Smyrna
to eliminate reckless and fast driv-
ing in and through the town. /
hope this is not just momentary
flare up"
Speeding and reckless driving is
not matter which can be controll-
ed by mere request or volunteer
action on the part of the driver of
a motor car or truck. Drastic ac-
ton must be meted out to those
drivers who are callous to the
safety and welfare of citizens.
Children are sometimes likely to
forget the safety rules in their
eagerness to use the highways for
bicycle riding, skating and similar
uses, therefore the motorist must
accept full responsibility.
Good luck has been good fortune
so far but good luck will not con-
tinue indefinitely. am glad that
the police are cognizant of their
duty in controlling the speed and
operation of automobiles anC
trucks in the town.
I hope that at some time in the
near future attention and thought
will be given to the condition o1
SIDEWALKS in your fair town. They
are indeed in very bad condition
and extremely hazardous, particu
larly to elderly persons. Notice
some of the conditions when vol
have time!
I am not citizen of your town
but visit there often and feel thai
action, such as your police depart
ment has taken, wherever found
should be highly commended.
Sincerely,
JOHN L. GRAHAM
