WHEAT LOAN
FARM STORAGE
Continued from Page One)

flee of the Kent County Agricultur-
al Conservation Association, or the
Office of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, and all wheat growers re-
CARELESS of whether they have their
wheat under government loan, or
stored without a loan, are request
ed to contact either of these two
offices and ask for this information.
Quotas on Wheat
In order that these government
wheat loans may be available, how
ever, it is necessary that marketing
quotas be placed on the wheat crop
each year similar to the wheat
marketing quota programs which
have been in force with reference
to the 1941 and 1912 crops. In re-
gard to the marketing quota for
the 1943 wheat crop, Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wickard has
announced that a nationwide ref
erendum will be held next spring
prior to June 10 to determine
whether wheat growers wish to
have this program remain in effect.
This information is being called to
the attention of all farmers who are
now planning their fall wheat seed
ing operations.

Fort Dix, including the Reception
Center, should make arrangements
with the man to meet him at des-
ignated place on or near the post.
1t is suggested that the U. S. o.
Club, Service Club, Recreation
Building, or bus terminal nearest
the mans organization would be a
suitable meeting place. Surprise
visits are not in order because fire.

systems wherever possible and rea-
sonably convenient.
Mr.. Luke said the importance of
avoiding loss of books is emphasiz-
ed in the complicated procedure re-
quired to get replacement. Appi-
cations for requirements must be
made in writing, under oath or af-
firmation, and must set forth:
l. The name and address of the
applicant.
2. The class, date and place of is
suance and expiration date of such
book or coupons.
8. A description of the motor
vehicle, boat, equipment or process
for which the book or coupons were
issued.
4. A. statement of the number
and type of unused coupons so lost,
destroyed or mutilated.
5. A description of the manner
and circumstances of the loss, de-
struction or mutilation.
If the Board is satisfied that such
book or coupons have been lost or
destroyed, or so damaged or mu-
tilated as to be rendered unfit for
use, it may, in its discretion, issue
a duplicate book or duplicate bulk
coupons of the same class and in
the same quantity as those sought
to be replaced; it shall clearly note
on the cover of any duplicate book
issued the same expiration date, if
any, that appeared on the original
book.
No person receiving a duplicate
book or coupons under the above
conditions shall use, attempt to use,
or permit the use of the original
book or coupons, but shall surren-
der such original book or coupons,
if damaged or mutilated, to the
Board at the time of issuance of
the duplicate book; in the event
that lost book or lost coupons are
found after duplicates have been
issued, such original book or cou-
pons shall be surrendered to the
Board forthwith.

Radiant Living
UNDER HIS CONTROL
By
Rev. Charles Milton Griffith

You are one of many who have
made serious mistakes in life. Who
has not?
1t is too late now perhaps to cor
rect these mistakes. But what
about the present and the future
Can we avoid making serious mis-
takes again?
The Scriptures assure us that in
every emergency, it is our privil-
ege to be guided by divine wisdom.
Recall such statements as "The
steps of a good man are ordered of
the Lord" Also: II will guide thee
with mine eye."
When we speak of divine guild
ance we generally have in mind
some particular incident in our
lives. But our conception of di-
vine guidance should be much more
extensive than this.
If God can guide us in one crisis,
why can He not guide us in every
crisis? If you have prayed fol-
God to guide you through some diff
ficulty, why not pray that He
might take charge of your whole
life?
Do you not catch a vision of this
larger aspect of divine guidance
Do you not see that it should de.
velop into a divine control ovel
ones whole life?
A young lady once said in 6
testimony service, that upon the
keyboard of her life she had beer
trying to play one note at time
and discovered that only one false
note was sufficient to throw the
whole life into discord. But nov
she had handed over the whole key
board to Christ, Who has brought
out of her former discords heav
emily refrain.

FALL VEGETABLE STORAGE
Seed Cover Crops Now To Protect
Garden Soil Next Winter

For those who will use the same
area for thier garden next year, a
wise practice is to seed a cover
crop that will protect the soil this
coming winter and add to the gar
|den's fertility. Gardeners are ad-
vised to seed a MIXTURE of crimson
vised to seed mixture of crimson
clover and rye grass at the rate of
10 pounds of crimson clover and Is
pounds of rye grass per acre. Those
suggestions are contained in the
fourth and last of a series of Home
Food Production letters which have
been prepared by Eugene P. Brash-
er, truck crop specialist for the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. Other suggestions includ-
ed in this fourth letter deal with
the storage of vegetables.
Begin Storage of Vegetables
Now is the time, says Brasher,
to begin thinking about storage of
the vegetables to be produced in
the fall garden. Vegetables to be
stored should be harvested in the
best eating stage, and should be
free from disease cuts, bruises, and
insect damage. Their storage place
should provide the optimum condi-
lions of temperature, moisture and
ventilation. If a regular permanent
storage space is not available, he
recommends that outdoor mounds
or other facilities be constructed.
Illustrated in the garden letter is
an outdoor storage mound with
complete directions for its construc-
ton. In addition there are specific
storage suggestions for each of the
fall garden crops. Persons who are
not on the mailing lists of the
County Extension Agents may re-
ceive copy of this letter by writ
ing to their County Agricultural
Agent, or to the Extension Service,
University of Delaware, Newark,
Delaware.

Dimout Director Declares Small

Christmas lighting in the two
lower counties, affected by the mil
itary dimout, is going to be scarce
ly visible at all this year, Judge
John P. LeFevre of Dover, state
dimout director, said. In New Jer-
sey, State Director of Civilian De-
tense Leonard Drefuss said that
large and brilliant outdoor Christ
mas lighting displays will be BAN
ned in the dimout area, but that
small clusters of lights in doors and
windows of homes and business
places will be allowed provided they
conform with regulations. He add
ed that lighting of small trees On
lawns will also be permitted. Judge
LeFevre said that in no instance
would Christmas lights visible from
the sea be allowed, but that in in
land communities tree lighting
might be sanctioned if it were in
conspicuous.

SEVERE RAINS
TAKE TOP SOIL
Heavy Loss to Delaware
Farmlands; Tons of Top
Soil Carried Away
CONSERVATION CITED

Thousands of dollars loss to Del
aware farmlands is being caused by
recent heavy rains, as tons of vital
| top soil are carried off the fields by
the unchecked flow of water Sc
we're sheet erosion of rich farm
areas is a familiar rural scene in
Delaware today-with land slashed
by gullies and pitted in numerous
wash-out sections. Richard Snyder,
director of the Soil Conservation
Service, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, in Newark, pointed out
that soil erosion-one of the great
est sources of agricultural waste
means wasted land, labor, seed, and
fertilizer.
Urges Full Production
Every inch of top soil washed
away means decreased yields" Mr..
Snyder said. He emphasized the
wartime need for full production
in farm areas, and warned that
land suiside" directly affects the
nations war food program. The to-
tai loss to farmers through soil ero-
sion may not be felt Immediately,
Mr.. Snyder pointed out. Heavy
rains of recent days have in some
instances washed away crops al
ready planted, or seed just put into
the ground. Valuable fertilizers
are rendered impotent when sheets
of water sweep across a field, TAX
ing top-soil, seed and fertilizer into
gullies and nearby treams.
Example Cited
Crops can be replanted, work can
be done over, and more fertilizer
used-but top-soil cannot be re-
plpaced once it has gone" Mr..
Snyder declared. An example of
the damage already done to certain
farm areas in America was given
Il by Mr.. Snyder. Hundreds of acres
of once fertile farm areas have been
left useless for years because prop
er protective measures against soil
erosion have not been taken. by
conservation, and not by waste, can
the wartime farm production goals
be met" Mr.. Snyder warned.
Farmers practicing conservation
measures, such as contour cultiva-
ton, strip cropping, terracing, COW
er crops and other good manage
ment practices, hold the soil in
place and improve their yields, he
said.
Conservation Methods
All of the soil conservation meth
DDS are designed to prevent the
damaging downward rush of rain
water which carries with it crops
and top soil. By contour cultiva-
ton and strip cropping, the flow OF
water is channeled down the land
slope gradually. BY terracug, steep
hillsides are broken into numerous
levels to check the water flow
Thick cover crops serve as brakes
to the water, slowing the flow and
holding some of the water in the
ground.
