1914 FARM PLAN
NOT YET FILED
To Support Applications Fer
Gas For Tractors; $500
Not Yet Filed
BOARD ISSUES STAMPS

Twenty-Five hundred Delaware
farmers have not filed their 1914
farm plans at County Agricultural
Conservation Association offices to
support their applications for gaso-
line for tractors and other off-the-
highway uses for the next three
months, Clarence e. Ocheltree,
Chairman of the State Agricultur-
al Adjustment Agency, said today.
Seventy-five hundred plans have
been filed. Farmers apply to their
local OPA rationing board for Off
the-highway gasoline. That board
submits the application to the
County AAA farmer rationing
committee which bases its recon-
mendation upon the farmers plan
of farm operations for the period
covered. The local rationing board
then issues the ration stamps for
the number of gallons required to
carry out the farmers production
plans.
Apply at Ration Board
Farmers who have filed their
1914 farm plans need only apply to
their local OPA ration board. This
same form may be used by farm
ers who do not plan to cooperate
with the 1914 AAA soil-conserva-
ton and war-food production pro-
gram. The local OPA ration board
will issue the stamps in two in
stallments. The farmer will receive
two thirds of his stamps at once,
the other one third being held in
reserve until the third month of
the quarter. Applications for gas
oline for farm trucks should be-
filed at the County AAA Office,
which will forward them with rec
concentrations to the Office of De-
fense Transportation, which will
issue the stamps.

CROPS AIDED
BY SNOW STORM
Will Prevent Early S e e d s
From Coming Up Too
Soon; Provide Moisture
FRUIT CROP DELAYED

While the spring snow and sleet
storm of the first of the week
worked hardships on everyone else,
crippling traffic and slowing trans
portation, it was just what was
needed by the farmers, according
to Dean George L. Schuster, of the
University of Delaware. "The
storm was welcomed by the farm
ers," he said. "It is what they
needed, for the ground lacked suf-
ficient moisture, and the snow will
form a blanket on the ground to
keep the early seeds from coming
up too soon. I was pleased when
1 saw it begin" Former Senator
John G.. Townsend, Jr., of Selby-
vile, owner of a large orchard, said
the storm would do no damage to
the state fruit crops. He said the
buds had not sufficiently advanced
to be harmed, and added that the
storm may benefit the fruit.
Fruits Are Delayed
''The only harm DONE" he said,
Twill be to delay the crop little" J"
The second day of the storm Mon
day found Smyrna and most of the
state still struggling under a re-
turn to wintry conditions. After
a day of rain and sleet and near
freezing temperatures heavy
snow fell for a while early in the
evening. Up to Monday night the
total snowfall here was three inch
es. In spite of the bad conditions
of the streets and highways, there
were no serious accidents reported
here or in the state.
