DEATH RECORD OF WEEK
Rev. DIR. w. S. Robinson Died April
18th at Newark n. j.


Word has been received in Smyr-

son was a former pastor of Asbury

MILK DEALERS
SEEK PRICE RISE
Delaware Milk Dealers Peti.
ton OPA for Rise of One
Cent a Quart
WOULD PROTECT SUPPLY

Delaware milk dealers, petition
ing J. G.Wells, Jr., OPA state price
officers, for one cent per quart in
crease in the retail price, claim
they can protect the supply if a
higher level is granted. The sup
ply of milk that consumers in this
state are getting is endangered,
dealers contend, by higher prices
permitted in the Philadelphia area
under government regulations. Pro-
ducers are profiting more by ship
ping milk to Philadelphia for sale,
according to dealers. An increase,
dealers pointed out, would protect
the Delaware supply and prevent
smaller dealers from being squeez-
ed by a reduced profit margin. A
price increase to producers of 80
cents per hundred pounds and re-
tail increase of one cent per quart
were granted in Philadelphia by the
OPA and the secretary of agricul-
ture in a federal marketing order
effective April IL, the petition
points out. "Inasmuch as we are
not under the federal marketing
order and there is a ceiling price
already established by federal or
der as to the highest price the Will
mington dealers can pay our pro-
ducers, we can not voluntarily
make this 35 cents per hundred
pound increase to our farmers. AS
a result, very unsatisfactory situ-
alton exists as to milk supply in
Wilmington and throughout the
state. Naturally Delaware pro-
ducers also sell to Philadelphia
dealers and they will market their
milk where the highest price can
be obtained, thereby causing us to
lose much of our supply of milk in
the Wilmington area" the petition
states.

KENT FARMERS
REPORT TO AAA
Farmers Placed on Honor
System; Each Will Mea-
sure Acreage and Report
TO RETAIN RECORDS

In an effort to reduce travel and
use of manpower, farmers of Kent
County this year will report their
own compliance with provisions of
the 1943 AAA program, It was an
nounced today by R. Harry Wilson,
chairman of the County AAA Com
mittee. Under this plan, which
may be called an honor system, we
hope to save money, travel, tires,
gasoline and the time of persons
who otherwise probably would be
engaged in agricultural produc-
tion," chairman Wilson said This
plan is being put into effect over
the entire nation this year, and we
in Kent County certainly can meet
up to standards of farmers in any
other county"
Each to Report Average
Under this program, he said, each
farmer will measure his acreage
and will report it to his County
AAA Office on forms to be provid-
ed by the office. Farmers also will
report acreages of crops grown for
soil ?building purposes and for
which there is payment made un-
der the AAA program. Marketing
quotas will be in effect this year
only on cotton and tobacco, Mr.Wil-
son said, but war crops, such as
peanuts, soybeans for beans, and
sweet potatoes for market must be
measured and reported for the pur-
pose of determining if goals were
met. Commercial truck crops and
Irish potatoes for market also must
be reported for the purpose of de-
termining payments.
To Retain Records
The most likely procedure farm
erS will follow is to measure and
determine acreage before crops are
planted and then stay within the
acreage set aside for this purpose"
Mr.. Wilson said. I'm such cases,
it is imperative that farmers retain
their records for use in substanti-
ating their reported acreage. The
record of measurements should in
clude a sketch of the fields mea-
sured and distances may be shown
by chains, yards, or feet. When
computed, however, the measure
ments must show the same total
acreage as reported by the farm
er."
Committeeman to Aid
In past years, measurements OF
individual farms have been made
by community committeeman or
others employed by the AAA. Com
mitteemen this year will be expect
ed to assist farmers in making
their reports, will review all re-
ports and will measure acreages on
a certain percentage of farms in
their communities. In cases where
errors are palinly evident, the COM
mitteemen also will make special
checks.

NEW CHAIRMAN
SALVAGE GROUP
John F. Herhaldt, Manager at
Bombay Hook Refuge, Nam
ed Head Salvage Committee
START IND DRIVE HERE

Mayor R. F. Corley has announc-
ed that John F. Herhaldt, manager
of the Bombay Hook Wildlife Re-
fuge, has accepted the chairman
ship of the Smyrna Salvage Com
mittee, and that plans are under
way to conduct another all-out
drive for scrap. In an interview,
Mr.. Herholdt explained, I'm the
next few days, all of us will be call
ed upon to contribute either spare
time, scrap, or both, in an effort to
make this second salvage drive a
huge success. 1t was explained
that efforts will be concentrated on
farms and other rural establish
ments, where it has been found
that great deal of vitality import
ant scrap iron and other metals are
still going to waste.
Urgent Need Explained
Mr.. Herholdt further emphasiz-
ed Nov, when the nation is fight
ing for its very life, we hear a cry
from every battlefield, where a
hard-fighting, suffering Marine
Soldier, or Sailor says God, how we
need planes This cry repeats from
all far-fiung battlefronts. Citizens
of Smyrna, just think. 1t takes
ships to carry those planes; it takes
guns and submarines to protect
those ships, and it takes iron ano
steel to make every piece that is
used in this horrible war. Scrap
iron will build these ships ano
iplanes faster, much faster, than
they can be built from mine ore
Just think how much faster that
plane will get to the front, where
that boy is praying for it, if we
could only build war machines out
of scrap. Let's not think any more
let's get the scrap in the pile!"

GROUP PLANS
FARM DRAINAGE
Kent County Farmers Meet to
Form Soil COnserva-
ton District
PROJECT DEEMED VITAL

Following the passage of the Soil
Conservation Districts Act at the
recent session of the State Legis-
lature, and the signing of this Act
by the Governor, immediate action
was taken by number of Kent
county farmers to advantageously
use this opportunity for effecting
plans for the formation of soil
conservation district for the pur-
pose of solving some of the farm
drainage problems in this county.
Under the direction of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, group
of farmers including Isaac Thomas,
Lyndon D. Caulk, Mrs. E. c. Dolly,
Harvey E. Wilson, Clarence Cad
mus, John Numbers, Frank Attix
and R. Harry Wilson met with H
B. Hendrick and Richard S. Snyder
of the Soil Conservation Service, in
Dover recently and discussed plans
for taking advantage of this legis-
lation and the procedure to be fol
lowed in draining several areas in
the county where this project is
greatly needed.
Form Soil District
Within the past few days COM
munity meetings have been held al
the Daily and Attix homes where
this farm drainage program was
explained, and the interest which
was shown at these educationa
meetings indicated that soil con.
servation district will be formed ir
Kent county in the near future.
Farm Drainage
Interest in this type of farm
drainage began over year age
when the Kent county agent in CO.
operation with the Soil Conserva.
tion Service arranged for drainage
demonstrations on few farms a.
a contributing factor to the foot
production program, the preserva.
tion of wild life, and the conserva-
ton and maintenance of soil fer
Utility, all of which are vital to the
public welfare and the general in.
terest of everyone associated with
agriculture. Unavoidable circum.
fstances, however, prevented the
completion of these demonstrations
on all the farms which were Sc
lected for this purpose, but under
this newly formed plan it will bt
possible to drain a large number oI
farms throughout the county.
Petition Circulated
A petition requesting the forma
tion of a soil conservation district
is now being circulated by interest
ed farmers in the western section
of the county, and this petition will
be ready within short time to bt
submitted to the state soil conser
vation committee. AS other areas
or districts are formed in the flu
ture they will become part of the
district for the county, and this i'm
portant project eventually will bs
expanded to include all areas il
which adequate drainage is a vita
factor in the profitable operation Of
| these farms.
