companying black markets, It was learned today.
 In ending butter rationing last month, officials reported the supply would not meet the full unrationed demand. However, they explained that 100,000O00 pounds of Govern ment butter was being released to civilians and should help tide the nation over the Winters low pro- duction season.
 The Army this week asked the Agricultural Department to halt the sales. It is expected that the mili- tary may recall about 25,000 900 pounds scheduled to augment civil ian stocks. This amounts to nearly weeks supply for the nation.
 More Severe Than Anticipated
 Officials termed the post-ration- ing butter shortage even more severe than anticipated. Many grocerS and dealers are voluntarily limiting cuS- toners to quarter pound apiece when they can get any butter at all. |. The Off1ce of Price Administration reported that black market sales

 The ecision to remove the TINT rather than, lift the huge bomb bodily from the crater was made after they had found the bomb fuse damaged. They could not de- fuse the bomb which is the normal procedure but believed that in it's damaged state it could not de- tomato the high explosive.
 The bomb experts were optimistic over possibility of removing the INT without accident since it was found that the explosive had not crystallized. Disqualification fre- qnently occurs when INT is not used for several years. In this state the explosive is highly sensitive and even . slight jar may set 1t of,

Farmers Meet To Plan
Drainage Project
fContlnueo from rlrst PsRa)

AS drainage is one of the major
problems confronting many farm
ers throughout Kent county, and
since there are several farms
which cannot he properly drained
unless the large tax bitches are
cleaned out and improved, the Sol
conservation District is making
every possible effort to assist these
land owners in the solution OF this
important problem.
Farmers whose land requires
drainage as one of the conSefVa-
ton measures. and whose farms
are drained into tax bitches, need
financial aid in order to improve
the productivity of the soil and in
crease crop yields. During the re-
cent session of the State LcGiSla-
tllre bill was introduced to pro-
vide an appropriation of $5,0O0.0o
annually for the next two years tt
aid farmers in cleaning out tan
bitches. The bill passed the House
hut failed to receive the required
support in the Senate, consequent
". the only available source q
finances at the present time fo
tax ditch drainage is derived
from tax assessments which arr
causing considerable burden Ol
many land owners. Many leadin
farmers in the state believe tha
the expenditure of state funds 70
improving tax bitches is in the in
terest of general welfare sine
such drainage would material
improve the drainage of publ
roads and highways

More Equipment For
Delaware Farmers
tCont,nued from First Page,

ing the next two years. If maChl-
merry inventories are brought up to
requirements. Delaware farmers
will have to purchase a tWO-Year
deficit supply of tractors and trac-
tor drawn machinery and a one
year deficit supply of horse drawn
machinery in addition to the nor
NAL supplies for 1916 and l9i1.
For many years there has been
the use of tractors and tractor
drawn machinery. The short sup
ply of farm labor during the war
materially aCCcntuatcd this trend
despite the fact that supplies 0t
this type of equipment were short
of requirements. From January |
l9t2 to January /. l9i5 the mum
hcr of tractors increased from 3
500 To i.l00 or Il percent. the
number of tractor drawn pickup
bales increased so percent and the
number of corn piCkcrs more than
tripled. On the other hand, durinl
this same period practically all 0
the horse drawn machinery de
creased in number. Horse draw
riding moldhoard plOws decreased
from $500 to 2.350 or SIN pcrCen
and riding row crop CultiVatorS de
creased from 5000 to $3.50 or fiV'
percent The longtime aspect o
this trend is illustrated by the fac
that since War the number o
horses and mules on Delawar
farms has decreased from 37,00
to 81 600 or t3T.
