KENT FARMERS
GET SOIL AID
Land Owners Ask For Prac-
tical Aid In Drainage
and Soil Erosion
REGULAR MEETINGS

AS the planning of crop rota-
tions, permanent pastures and the
most profitable utilization of the
land for conservation farming are
based on the capability of the soil
determined by soil surveys, the
Soil Conservation Service of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture is in a position to render
this important and practical SER
vice to farmers, and interest in this
basic agricultural program is rap
idly increasing among land owners
and operators, businessmen and
the general public. The Soil Con-
servation District of Kent County
is constantly receiving applications
from farmers for assistance with
their drainage, soil erosion, pas
ture seeding and general farm
problems including the arrange
ment of fields, crop rotations,
woodland management, wildlife
conservation and other phases of
utilizing the land according to its
capability to crop production or
forest trees. On many farms in
Kent county drainage is the chief
problem, and every effort is being
made by the district to assist
these farmers with this much need
ed work, while on other farms
there are problems of wind ero-
sion resulting in the loss of pro-
ductive top soil. All farm plan
agreements are approved by the
district board of supervisors in

COAL SHORTAGE
is PREDICTED
Deliveries Now Being Made
AS Coal Is Received on
so Per Cent Basis
CLEAN FURNACES

All consumers of solid fuels
(Anthracite, Coke Bituminous
Coal, Briquettes and packaged
fuels) for space heating must file
a Consumer Declaration for their
annual requirements for the coal
year beginning April 1, 1915 with
the dealer who regularly supplied
them during coal year 1944-45.
Generally, consumers are limited
to 80 per cent of normal annual
requirements. On Consumer Dec
larations filed on orr before May
is, 1945, dealer is obligated to de-
liver 80 per cent by September 80;
or he may, during the period from
April 1, 1945 to August 81 inclu-
sive, deliver anthracite and coke,
or both, to a domestic consumer in
an amount not to exceed so per
cent of consumers normal annual
requirements if such fuels are
available and the consumer is
ready, willing and able to take de-
livery of any useable solid fuel.
Consumers are urged to accept
such useable solid fuel when offer
ed and not to insist on anthracite
alone. The threatening solid fuel
shortage this coming winter makes
the need for the most rigid con-
servation of fuel. Now is the time
to make homes and buildings heat
tight, to place furnaces and heat
ing equipment in good repair and
to install automatic heating con-
trolls wherever possible. Inquiries
regarding solid fuel should not be
made of theOffice of Price Admin
istration but with the dealers in
your neighborhood.

FROM RACING AT DELAWARE

Delaware received total of ST.
O45, ,189 in taxes on the pari-mu-
tuel betting at Delaware Park dur
ing the recent 30-day racing meet.
The figure is S156,716 more than

ment's tax on admission totaled

with S85,S26 last year. The feder-
al and state receipts totaled ST.

and $164,6 ,629 more than Tasty ears
figure. In addition to these taxes,
the association also donated to war
relief aid. The figure has not yet
been compiled.
New Attendance, Betting Marks
The annual 30-day meeting this
year also created new marks in at
tendance and betting. Wagering
during the past meet amounted to
$28,099,170, an increase of $4,507,-
ITO over last year. The daily aver
age this season in betting was
1896, ,639, compared with last years

days or holidays. This year there
were 10 such days, four of which
came on weekdays. The park lost
one Saturday, June 16, in defer
ence to Preakness Day at Pimlico.
The lost day was made up on one
of the two Mondays originally
scheduled as off days. Winning
favorites at this years meet num-
bered .38 per cent, the highest in
the history of the track. There
were 81 winning favorites and 46
winning second choices. This high
average, Bryan Field, general
manager, said, is due to the vigil
ance of the stewards and the
sternness of Racing Secretary Ed
ward j. Brennan in allotting stalls
to the desirable stables only. For
the first time in the history of the
lldCh, OCldW dIc OWllCQ SldUlc-
the Edgehill Stable of Steve Jack
son and Alexander Ramsey-train-
ed by Merritt A. Buston, ST., won
the highest number of purses and
also the most races. Edgehill had
10 firsts, six seconds and three
thirds, for total of $25,525 in
purss. The father and son COM
bination of Merritt Buxton, Sr.,
and his son, Merritt, Jr., the
jockey, contributed largely to the
success of Edgehill. Young Buxton
rode nine of the stables 10 win
ners. He was also the leading
jockey of the meet with 80 firsts,
20 seconds, and 25 thirds. The eld-
er Buxton was the leading trainer
of the meet, having saddled 13
winners.
