Scout Program Not
Curtailed By War
tcontinued from FIrst Pagel

Hundreds of the soldiers anG
sailors who have been decorated
for heroism in this war were former
Scouts. 1t is estimated that one
third of the officers and enlisted
men in Uncle Sans armed forces
were once Scouts or Scoutmasters.
Their training helped to fit them
for their jobs, by teaching them
teamwork and ability to get along
under difficult conditions.
Scouting doesn't have to con-
vert after the war in the usual
sense of the word. All it has to do
is proceed with normal Boy Scout
activities. The result can be pre-
dicted from the records. For in
peacetime as we'll as during war,
Scout training builds leadership
and character. The more boys who
become Scouts today, the more
progress we will make toward
world friendship in the postwar
period"

"
I The Delaware Dairy Production
and Livestock Conservation Com
mittee, made up of leading farmers
and specialists In agriculture, Is
developing strong program. Re
Gently they have conducted dairy
production meetings all over the
state to emphasize that particular
phase of the program, which Is OF
outstanding importance in Della
ware.
During February, all All clubs
in the state will devote their meet
ings to consideration of this prob
lem in connection with the poul-
try, cattle, and hogs which they
raise in club projects.
Feed shortages will not permit
large increases in numbers of liye-
stock To produce the maximum
amount of food, greater production
must be obtained from present
numbers of livestock. and greater
efficiency of production on our
present feed supplies. Prevention
of losses through disease and poor
management of animals is major
step.

REPRESENTATIVE WILEY
HITS PROPOSAL FOR BLANK
BALLOT FOR SOLDIERS
Continued from First Page,

by letter and when the time ele-
ment made correspondence possible,
we replied that for his own pro-
lection and to insure a legal ballot
the soldier should make his appli-
cation upon the official postal card
to be provided him. In a number
of instances we received replies
from the soldiers to the. effect that
such postal card applications were
stations. and that their officers did
not know about the federal law or
about the postal card applications.
We received a number of such
replies and were compelled to reach
the conclusion that due to the short
time between the enactment of the
law and the date of the election
that there was not a general un-
derstanding among the servicemen
of the provisions of the law.
Information Spread
while in our state only 1856 ap-
plications for ballots were received
prior to November 3. 1912. in the
same state some $50 applications
for ballots were received by the
secretary of state during 1943 when
no election was held. This indicates
that knowledge of the 1912 law had
become more widespread among the
various branches of the service.
My experience with the 1912 act
leads me to believe that at least
one reason for the small number
of effective ballots cast in the var
iOus states was due to the fact that
its provisions were not widely un-
derstood by the persons concerned
and the time between the approval
of the law and election day was
too short to permit a general un-
derstanding of it.
Cites Differences In Laws
There is also another feature of
the 1912 law which might be con-
sidered That is that the ballots in
the various states are to be printed
under the supervision of the secre-
tary of state and that such ballots
contain the names and addresses of
the candidates for electors. United
States senator's, and members of
the federal house of representa-
tives. This provision is in sharp
contrast to the proposal to supply
blank ballot to be used by those
who undoubtedly in very many
cases will not know the names of
the various candidates who have
been nominated for these Offices.
AS is true among the civilian pOpu-
lation. there will undoubtedly be
many service people who will de-
side to vote for particular candi-
dates rather than to vote straight
party ballot. Such persons will be
deprived of an opportunity TO vote
for particular individuals of their
choice under the plan proposed to
send out blank ballot with absO-
lutely no names of candidates there
on"

Soil Conservation
Board Has Meeting
tcOntinued from First Page

county agent and secretary of the
board; ii. B. Hendricks and Rich
ard S. Snyder, Soil Conservation
Service, who were appointed at the
previous board meeting to prepare
this longtime farm drainage and
soil conservation program for this
county. Other members of the
county board of supervisors are
Harvey +. Wilson, chairman. c.
Arthur Taylor and ]. S. Willis.
Sixty-nine applications have been
received to date from land own
crs in Kent county for drainage on
their farms, and these applications
were given consideration at this
meeting. but definite action cannot
be taken by the supervisors until
surveys have been made of each
farm to determine the possibilities
of this operation. Each district SUI
pervisors in company with a rep
resentative of the Soil Conservation
Service will visit each of these
farms and discuss with the owner
the factors involved in planning a
drainage system, including avail
able outlets for removal of surface
water. crop rotation and field ar
rangement, and approximate cost
of work.
1t is doubtful if this program can
be carried out this year on all the
farms for which drainage applica-
tions have been or will be receiv-
ed, but every effort will be made to
take care of as many requests as
time and circumstances will permit
IL is the plan of the board of su-
pervisors that this soil conserva-
tion work will be evenly distribu-
ted throughout the district in or
der that no partiality will be shown
to any one section of the county
where this work is needed
Much interest in this program is
being shown. by a large number OF
land owners in Kent county, as they
realize the economic value of this
project in increasing and main
tanning soil fertility as the basis
for more profitable crop and live
stock production.

several months Congressman

cubic foot unit as recommended
by the State Forestry Department.
While the new prices are the
same as for the Eastern Shore of
Maryland the real competition lies
in the markets open to the same
wood. For instance pulpwood must
be from certain species of trees.

Another comparative forest pro-

County Commissioners, State Road
Department, Soil Conservation Ser
vice, and other agencies who had
assisted In making the work poss-

John Hull, soil conservationist
4 for Caroline and Dorchester coun-
ties, discussed the work that his
Office could do to help. Mr.. Hull
explained the farm plans that he
has prepared for a number of far
mers in Caroline county, who are
interested in working through the
district to get some drainage on
other conserving practices started
on their farm. The Sussex commit
tees studied several of these farm
plans with much interest in order
to become thoroughly familiar with
what Sussex county farmers could
do in preparation for this work.
Following the meeting in the
office, George w. Clendaniel, coun-
ty agent, took the group on a visit
to several farms in order to OBJ
serve at first hand the work being
done.
The first farm was that of Will
liam Carey, near Denton. where the
group saw a field surface drain
that had been in operation for
about a year. Mr.. Clendaniel stat
ed that this drain had been cut by
a tractor and blade and had been
completed in one day.
From here the group went to
Preston and saw drag line ma
chine at work cleaning out tax
ditch. Much interest was displayed
here and many questions were
raised concerning the farmers re-
sponsibility in. this work. Mr.. Glen
daniel, in outlining the procedure
that the farmer had followed listed
the following steps:
1. Assisted in reorganizing the
tax ditch.
2. Requested help from the Soil
