Sussex Co. Farm Leaders Discuss
Pertinent Problems At Meeting

Urging more economical use of
manure, Mr.. Phillips pointed out
that much broiler house manure
was being wasted by too heavy an
application. The value of putting
nitrogen on crops that the nation
needs now for food rather than
putting it on all crops, was like
wise stressed.
Predicting that crop insurance
will at some time be available for
all crops, Lee Barnes, of the U. S.
d. A, urged the farmers present to
consider signing up for wheat in
surance this year.
Johnson grass, according to
County Agent j. F. Gerdy, is be-
coming a serious problem in the
county. Calling attention to an ex-
hibit of the grass on display, Mr..
Gordy recommended the farmers
become acquainted with it in order
that they could recognize it grow
ing on their farm and take imme-
diate steps for its eradication.
s. Caleb Wright called ON farm peo-
pie to dc. all they can to support
the sale of War Stamps and Bonds.

Louisiana Appeals
To u. ). 10 Relax
Sugar Rationing
Warehouse Spoee Short,
With Bumper Crop
Of Cane Expected
BY the Associated Press.

1S
BATON ROUGE. La. July s.
Louislanas s Legislature sent to Pres
ident Roosevelt today an appeal to
relax consumer sugar rationing in
the United States to make space in
crowded warehouses for an expected
bumper cane crop.
A resolution adopted by both
House and Senate and addressed to
the President. Price Administrator
Henderson and other war officials
said some provision must be made
quickly for storing one of the largest
crops in the 100-year history OF the
Louisiana sugar industry.
AL. or practically all, warehouse
facilities are filed to capacity" the
Legislature declared, and the &C
cumulation of sugar and. the lack
of available storage space have re-
suited III several refiners suspending
operations.
With a continuance of the pres
ent sugar rationing regulations,
there appears to be no possibility OF
relieving the congested condition
for the storage of the sugar
to be produced in Louisiana during
the fall
This condition. unless corrected,
will be critical, and will probably
result in the loss of thousands OF
tons Of sugar cane now standing In
the fields and the loss OF large
quantities of sugar"
