TURN OUT AT THE POLLS

Appealing to all citizens of Cecil
County to turn out at the polls on
Tuesday, November 7, d. B. Mellow
ell, president of the Cecil County
Farm Bureau, declared that the ma
ton needs as never before the sound
judgment of rural and small town
America in deciding who it's leaders
should be in the years Immediately
ahead.
"The stability of America" he said
"has always been in the grass roots
in the people back on the farm and
in the small towns. These are the
people who own or plan to own their
own homes and their own land, the
people who must pay taxes and who
from long experience in running
their own business are accustomed to
making their own decisions. They
should study the records of all can
didates and then make their wishes
known at the polls
The tremendous task that is ahead
will call for the best leadership
America can offer, he said, quoting
this statement by Edward A. O'Neal,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation:
"The coming years will be fraug1t
| with both opportunities and pitfalls.
Adjustments will have to be made
and they must be made in such a
way that the American farmer does
not get the short end of the stick.
io hot A
look to the record, determine who it's
friends are, and then support them
at the polls"
Mr.. Mcdowell quoted figures show
ing that in only eight of the last "a
years have farm prices reached par
ity-and five of those years were
in either World War / or World
War ii. He also pointed out that
weekly wages of factory workers as
of the first of this year were four
times as high as during the 1904
period, while prices received by far
| mers were less than double
Pointing out that every American
has an intangible as well as a tangi-
BILE stake in America, Mr. Mcdowell
referred to a recent statement by r.
G. F. Weegly, President of the Mary
land Farm Bureau, Inc, to the effect
that today "the share of each man,
woman and child in America in the
national debt is approxim a e y
$4,000. This means that the average
farm family of five has an intangible
debt of $4,000 to carry, or consider
ably more than the value of the av-
erage American farm"

NO "BEST" POTATO

Tests of potato quality after deny
dration make it clear that there is no
one "best potato" for dekydration,
and no "best growing area" accord
ing to reports by the Agricultural Re-
search Administration. The results al
so emphasize the continuing impor-
lance of the Federal-State potato
breeding program in providing new
varieties bred for quality and for re-
sistance to disease-and also bred
for adaptation to the various combi-
nations of soils and climates where
farmers grow potatoes for market.
Last season the research workers
the leading potato varieties. Each
variety was planted in at least four
potato growing areas-some in as
many as seven. In some tests, fertili-
ger applications ranged from light to
heavy When the potatoes were har-
vested liberal samples were shipped
to the Beltsville Research Center,
near Washington, D. c., where each
lot was dehydrated under uniform
conditions.
Results varied. When the dried po
tatoes were reconstructed and cooked
TIE table ratings varied from fair to
excellent. The most striking single
result, according to the testers, was
the fact that every one of the 20 va
rieties graded excellent" in at least
one test-the one covering the area
where the variety was best adapted.
No variety graded excellent from all
areas. AS general rule, potatoes
having the highest specific gravity, or
greatest total solid content (tEe
greatest weight for their size) gave
the best dehydrated product, but the
potatoes usually grew heaviest where
they were best adapted. High specific
gravity is desirable in table potatoes
and for most other purposes.
Fertilizer tests showed that light
to moderate applications of plant
food favored development of potatoes
that are desirable for dehydration.

True Appreciation

CWINGING down quiet side street
one morning, an early worker
~ on the way to the office APP
preached store to which case of
milk was being delivered. AS she
passed the open door she heard the
driver, who was just leaving the
store, exclaim to the storekeeper,
'sThe trouble with you is, you don't
appreciate me-"
'Well," thought the Office worker
as she continued her way, chat is
not a cheerful sentiment with which
to start the day, but it is a common
complaint of mankind" and she dis
missed the occurrence - only it re-
fused to be dismissed. In fact, it
fingered in her thought until she was
forced to seek satisfactory explana-
ton and Qualification of the plaintive
cry of many, "You don't appreciate
me-"
Her line of thought began to run
somewhat like this: Why do we seek
the appreciation of others? Is it hui
manity's longing for praise? Do we
especially crave commentator for
duties involving more than was de-
manded of us? If these are our habit

WHEY FOR PENICILLIN

Little Miss Muffett, who sat on a
tuffet eating her curds and whey,
must have been well fed, because
although almost an orphan
among U. S. dairy products is nu-
tritious.
A byproduct of cheese and also of
casein, whey contains about half the
solids of whole milk, the War Food
Administration reports. 1t is rich in
protein, ribofiavin, vitamin B-1, cal
cium, PHOSPHORUS, and milk sugar,
or lactose This milk sugar has gain
ed Importance. Scientists find that
the mold which excretes penicillin-
the miracle drug-grows we'll in a
milk sugar culture.
Until this year, most of the whey
produced here was used as animal
feed, and quantities went to waste
especially cheese whey which had too
little commercial value to pay factor
les for salvaging it. Milk sugar for
infant foods, pharmaceuticals and a
few other purposes came mainly from
casein whey.
However, just about the time peni-
cillin manufacture required quanti-
ties of milk sugar, casein whey pro-
duction declined. With urgent need
for milk powder by our military for
ces and our allies, it had seemed
more desirable to import casein and
to use skim milks for milk powder.
So manufacturers turned to cheese
whey as raw material for milk sugar.
Cheese whey production has been
mounting steadily since early 1941
as result of Lend-Lease, and later
U. s. military requirements for ched-
dar cheese.

And the holly in glory, the green of

AS dark as midnight, and bittersweet

In its open husks where the vines are

Now for the music to march along
In step with the glow of the autumn

Operating the Army's heaviest
trucking equipment, the huge diesel

24-wheel trailer, men of this unit
work day and night under the com
mand of Captain John M. Lambert Of
81 Lincoln Street, WATERFOWL, Mass,
to supply our fighting men with
equipment.
A heavy demand for a greater sup
ply of ammunition as Americans
opened up their attack through Brit
tany, brought an urgent call for am
munition and gasoline.
Acting upon suggestion by Capt
Lambert, welders and mechanics Of
the unit constructed steel racks on
the fat beds of the trailers, convert
ing them into cargo carriers trans
porting 5000 opunds of ammunition
or gasoline on each trailer.
Our feet of transports can now
move as much as $50 ordinary cargo
vehicles, carrying eight times the
load three times as far" Captain
Lambert said.

drivers to each truck and trailer

latedness in appreciating the good
deeds and accomplishments of others.
Perhaps the Psalmist was thinking
OF the tendency to search on hui
man level for appreciation when he
entreated Psalms 1879, ooh that
men would praise the Lord for his
goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of menu For
appreciation is not just an exchange
OF fine sentiment. 1t is a response
which must flow forth spontaneously
to God for His goodness. By this
acknowledgment we shall more
readily show forth to our fellow
men our appreciation of their good
deeds and faithful discharge of duty.
True satisfaction is found in our con-
seriousness of Gods goodness, and not
in human approval of what we have
done.
Christ Jesus had such an infinite
sense of God and of His creation that
when the Jews sought him as he
walked alone in the porch of the
temple and asked him to tell them
plainly if he were the Christ, he re-
piled (John 1925, "The works that
do in my Fathers name, they bear
witness of me-" When our spiritual
vision has deepened so that we per-
ceive our right acts and achieve
ments are done in the Fathers
name, we shall not be overcome by
lack of human recognition, but shall
be content to work for God, as Jesus
did, and if need be, to walk by our
selves, unnoted by the crowd.
Let us then not be discouraged IL,
carrying what we feel is a full load
or an extra job, we do not always
hear voiced our neighbours common
dation of what we are doing. Paul
wrote I'll Corinthians 9:8), God is
able to make all grace abound toward
you; that We, always having all suffi-
cheney in all things, may abound to
every good work." THE Chris
