DELAWARE'S
FARM FRONT
THIS WEEK

The Delaware USDA War Board
has recommended a suggested goal
of $4,000 acres of wheat for next
year. This goal is 1000 acres high
er than the harvested acreage of
this year which numbers $4,000
acres.
This suggested goal is in line
with the increased demand for
wheat, however, agricultural Off
cials point out that there should
not be unlimited increases in
wheat at the detriment of other
essential war crops.
Community committeeman of the
Agricultural Adjustment Agency
will not visit individual Delaware
farms this year to check COM
pliance with the agricultural con-
servation program. Instead each
farmer will report his own prac-
tices.
The AAA reports that in the next
few weeks training meetings of
committeeman and local groups of
farmers will be held to explain the
reports which will be expected of
the farmers.
The farmers participating in the
AAA program will be expected to
report the acreages of their allot-
ment crops. the kind and acreage
of soil conserving crops they have
seeded during the year and the
amount and kind of soil building
rnofnFio lc Ct1aI
ical fertilizers that they have ap-
piled.
The war food administration has
authorized manufacturers of farm :
machinery and equipment to distri- !
butte 409o of production of rationed .
items through normal distribution
channels. They are required first
to fill quotas issued them by VIA q
which were designed to place ra- :

Baird, Mississippi, had two very
enthusiastic bridge players, Mr.. and
Mrs. James G. Baird. Their planta-
ton kept them busy for years, and
they finally decided it was time to
do little serious bridge playing.
They made many trips to the sum-
mer and fall national champion
ship tournaments, but now, during
the emergency, the plantation again
comes first.
Here is neat little hand played
by Mrs. Baird when she won the
Mid-South individual tournament.
Ire first trick was won by Mrs.
Baird (North) with the ace of clubs.
She cashed five diamonds, discard
ing the two black six-spots from
her own hand. East let go one
spade but then had to discard
both remaining clubs in order to
save his shoppers in spades and
hearts. Mrs. Baird then cashed the
four top hearts, and put East in
with the fifth heart. East had to
lead away from his king of spades
on the twelfth trick, and thus Mrs.
Baird won the last two tricks for
her contract.

SPLINT is DEMANDED IF
FRACTURE IS SUSPECTED

loss of function Of the broken part
The erroneous belief that a fracture
prevents the use of a part has often
resulted in delayed care and i'm
paired healing. Occasionally there is
little pain or swelling. Typically, the
pain Is considerable at the site Of
the break, and even gentle pres
sure sharply aggravates 1t. Swelling
develops rapidly, and as blood Is
released from the point Of fracture,
discloration beneath the skin be-
comes evident.
When the fracture breaks the
bone in two parts, a deformity as
compared with the similar struc-
ture on the opposite side of the
body may be observed. Occasion
ally the patient has heard the bone
crack. Often he makes the dag
nosis himself.
When a fracture Is suspected, the
function Of the First Alder Is to
immobilize the part affected with
splint. This may be a board,
pillow, or-not to be forgotten-an
ambulance stretcher. The advice of
the patient is valuable in splinting
with the maximum of comfort and
the minimum of harm.

Only rarely do people with simple
fractures have to be treated for
shock. Such splinting prevents

may be taken in a private car.
Those who are now trained to
First Aid measures may well devots
some thought to prevention. Most
accidents are preventable, and

against carelessness brings continu-
ed good results. Three to ten week,
