EXTENSION SERVICE HEADS
DELA. FARM LABOR PLAN
CONTINUED from FIRST PsEs)

Service in the recruitment of work
ers are the Board of Public Educa-
tiOn in Wilmington, the Boy Scouts
of the Delmarva Council. the Voca-
tional Agricultural Division of the
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton. the Farm Security Admins
tratiOn, and the u. S. Employment
Service. All labor sources will be
developed, and the Extension Ser
vice will contact any local labor
not recruited by the other agencies.
Placement of available labor to
the best advantage is the primary
aim of the Extension Service in the
labor program; however. to make
satisfactory placements on time
and in sufficient quantity. it is
necessary to know just what will
be required. Farmers are urgent
ly requested to make their state
ments of needs as nearly accurate
as possible. and to notify their
county agent if changes in their
needs develop.
In the past. about 10000 seasonal
workers have been used in Della
ware. Usual supplies are not avail
able this year. however. and much
inexperienced labor win have to be
used. Already, high school and
scout groups working in Sussex
and New Castle counties have help
ed in the harvesting of asparagus
and setting tomatoes. and have
shown that local youth is an cx-
cellent source of farm labor.

FARM LEADERS WARN AGAINST
FURTHER BROILER EXPANSION
Ccontinued from r;rst Page,

Board of Agriculture; C. +. Ochel
tree, chairman of the Delaware
USDA War Board; A. E. Tomhave,
head of the department of animal
and poultry industry of the Della
ware Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, and George NJ. Worrilow, act
ing associate director of the Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
In the light of recent state feeo
supply surveys a prospective short
age of approximately 100000 tons
of feed is in sight, these officials
point out.
In view of the current and pros
pective balance between feed anG
feed needs. it appears appropriate
to avoid further expansion in COM
mercial broiler production at this
time. They point out that the heav-
lest concentration of brOiler pro
duction occurs in Delaware and the
adjoining Del mar va peninsula
counties-an area which has al
ways been deficient in locally pro-
duced feed and which will be even
more reliant on feed imports tC
sustain expanded production.
1t is doubtful. they add, if all
poultry house construction now
underway can be completely equip
ped. Many hatcherymen are now
completely booked for all chicks
they can produce until September,
and chicks also may not be avail
able to fill any new capacity.
Although it is believed that thc
supply of coal for broiler prOduc-
tiOn will be sufficient to meet the
broiler capacity equal to that OF
this past year. the production OF
anthracite coal is not expected to
greatly exceed the expected re-
quirements. Therefore any new
expansion may mean that new
broiler production capacity may
have to remain idle because of the
lack of coal to brood the chicks.
Up to the present, the Delaware /
USDA War Board has approved ap- |
plications for broiler house in ex-
cess of $1,000 with the understand |
ing that the builder could secure |
and equipment and had |
sources of feed, chicks and coal. |
However, in line with the recon-
of the War Food Ad-
and the action of the
Delaware agricultural agencies
against further expan-
sion. the War Board is expected to
announce in the near future drastic
limitations on future broiler house

Alternative to Capitalism

In c0ndemning some post-wa
planners In positions of power
who urged that the United State
follow the leadership Of German,
/ by planning to have the govern
ment provide jobs for everyone ar
ter the war, Eric A. Johnston, pres.
ident OF the U. S. Chamber OF Com.
merce, warns that: THE economic
theory behind the belief that the
state must take precedence over
the individual stems from the fal-
lacy that the age of American de-
velopment is closed chapter and
that business has reached its ulti-
mate maturity"
Actually American development
has barely started. Nowhere is this
more evident than in the produc-
tion revolution of the past months
The manufacturing and natural re-
source industries have achieved
miracles. They have overcome a
lack of battle equipment that could
easily have led to military defeat.
And they did it with a degree of
dispatch and efficiency that left
the swivel chair planners gasp
ing. The miracles they have achiev-
ed in war can be multiplied in
peace. providing the capitalistic
system, under which they must
operate. is preserved. Under it the
coal and metal mines, the oil, pow
er and transportation industries
which have made victory possible,
can insure progress in the future.
Those who promote the idea that |
business has reached its ultimate

opment is a closed chapter" do not |
have faith in the capitalistic sys-

RADIANT LIVING
HUNG UP HARPS
Bs REV. c. N. 0RIFFETH
Pastor nasthodist Church. Ceciltsn, Nd.


The Jews have met with many
disastrous experiences, not only n
these days, but all along the patti
of history.
One of these times was when
they were driven from their home
land and forced to settle in the
hostile land Of Babylon. Life held
nothing for them there but toll and
tears.
They had taken along with them
their harps. But now hope had
faded from their sky and their
songs died on their lips. What fur
ther use had they of harps!
Those who, out of sheer despond-
ency did not toss them into the
river, hung their harps up in the
dropping branches of the willow
trees, trees which seemed to ex-
press the utter hopelessness which
they felt.
A hung-up harp is a sign of de-
feat!
Surely this is no symbol Of the
true Christian attitude toward life.
Although circumstances beyond MS
control may seem to be overwhelm-
ing him, the true Christian will
never hang up his harp.
Do You remember what Paul and
Silas did when they were exper-
fencing their darkest hour? There
they were. chained to the floor OF
the ill-smelling Roman prison. Their
backs were bleeding and smarting
from cruel 1ashings. Tomorrow
they might be executed. Yet as
they huddIed there. chained to the |
floor, during the midnight hour
what were they doing?
They were singing praises unto
God!
No hung-up harps for them!
Have you hung up your harp o!
praise unto God in a willow tree OF
some melancholy mood? Snatch 1t
down at once! COura geOusIy strike
a chord Of faith. Dare to sing SOME
hymn Of praise! God will respond
to your courageous song with di-
vine help!
God opens the way for the man
who dares to keep singing!

A sure sign that all is not well
within the German Reich is an ar
ticle appearing in the daily papers
and which was written from a
summary of remarks made by a
Berlin radio commentator. The ar
ticle states that "lukewarm" Nazis
may be purged. This announcement
it is believed was occasioned by the
unrest which is sweeping the Ruhr
and other industrial sections of
Germany, which have been nearly
flattened by the systematic bomb
ing of the Royal Air Force and
by the American Air Force. OFF,
cial Germany tells the ReichvOlk
party members that they expect
them to set examples at home
as well as on the front. 1t would
be interesting to find out how many
of the Nazi soldiers captured in
Africa were members of the Nazi

Reducing Production

In stressing the need for government
policy that will result in maximum food
production" John D. Miller, president
emeritus of the National Council of Farm
Cooperatives, says price ceiling expert
mentS tracing back to the Roman Empire
have a record of uninterrupted failure as
a method of preventing initiation or keep
ing down the cost of living.
can effective ceiling on any commodity
will in time restrict production. A plan
ned economy spells the doom of our SyS-
tenn of free enterprise. Rising commo-
dity prices are not the cause, but the re-
suit of initiation. Initiation should be
attacked on two fronts: First, by adopting
policies that will result in the greatest
possible food production, this increasing
supplies; and, second, by siphoning off
buying power through taxation, thus re-
ducing demand"
Mr.. Miller described subsidies as high
er food prices with the money being paid
by the citizens to the government as tax
es, and then distributed to the farmers
by government. Farmers resent being
placed in position where they cannot
support themselves, but must accept gov
eminent handouts. Food prices can be
so regulated that farmers will receive a
living price, and with consumers paying
as low price as is consistent with pro-
duction cost, transportation, processing
and marketing This was done during
World War and food production rose to
the maximum. But now we have price
ceilings which have always resulted in
decreased food production"
