Miss Loretta Cowden, Home
Demonstration Agent, and the rep
resentatives from the Benton Al
clubs and / returned Saturday
from the state All club camp at
Pullman. The club members were
Hope Liggett and Shirley Woehle
of Richland; and Doris KrauS,
Margaret Kerr and Betty Weber
of Benton City. The state All club
program was devoted to All club
leadership. Our delegates were
on a radio program last Wednes-
day and at that time our girls were
interviewed regarding their par
ticipation at the state All club
camp. Hope and Shirley both led
discussion groups at the camp;
Hope, Shirley and Margaret were
in the orchestra. Betty Weber
represented this county in the Cit
izenship ceremony. Doris Kraus
was one of the members who put
out the daily camp paper "The
OWL" All girls reported they had
a fine time and had brought back
many ideas to use in their club
work and in other organizations.
With mint becoming one of Ben
ton county's important crops, ex-
periments are being carried out
by the Extension Office and the
State College at Pullman. The
experiment plots are on the farms
of Henry York and Lee Hide
brand. We are trying to deter
mine the best time to harvest the
mint, so, that a. high Optical Rota-
ton and oil content will be had,
and at the same time receive the
best possible production. ! am
taking tests every week and will
continue Until the final harvest of
the crop. It is hoped by the end
of this year that we will have
something definite for the mint
growers of the area.
In the near future we are plan
ming another weed school, and at
that time I will have a represen-
tative from the Aprco Company,
that manufactures the machine
which they claim will kill the
weed by electrical current. This
machine has been demonstrated
at Pullman and other places and
the results have been fair. How
ever, at the time of the school we
will have an opportunity to see the
machine in use in our area.
I also hope that at that time
we will have a new chemical that
is also used in the control of weeds.
In the past few months many new
chemicals have been very success
full.
again I wish to remind you
that we are having our fair, and
please save any products that have
been grown on your farms for the
agricultural display.

FARM LABOR NEWS

Another quiet week at the Farm
Labor Office, only few orders
from farmers for men to hoe mint,
grapes and asparagus. Apricots
are being picked but there is little
acreage and a very light crop. No
orders for additional help.
Picking of early potatoes is ex-
pected to start on or before the
first of July. A steady flow Of

mer, permanent and rotation pas
lures are not very reliable for sat-
isfactory grazing. The usual pas
ture grasses will not produce much
grazing without plenty of water
and with dry spell or drought in
late June or July a temporary pas
ture is must" on most farms.
To fill this midsummer pasture gap
Claude E.Phillips, extension agron-
omist for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, recon-
mends a temporary pasture of sud
an grass. Sudan grass, says Phil
lips, is the best thing available. It
is a grass that is drought resistant
andl liked by cows. 1t grows fast
and usually one acre will supply
grazing for about three cows for
six to eight weeks in midsummer.

learn war any more" Every man
shall sit under his vine and fig tree,
and none shall make them
afraid" See Micah 4: IA.
The Holy Scriptures furnish re-
liable and encouraging information
as to how and when God will make
wars to cease unto the ends of the
earth, and will destroy forever all
death dealing weapons. The Bible
points out who is the man of des-
tiny, whom God has appointed to
bring lasting peace to this world.
It shows how he will do it, and
how each of us may be among the
fortuunte ones who will enjoy ever
lasting peace in a warless world.
It tells what is the coming world
government under which unbroken
peace will be attained.
Space will not permit us to set
forth the texts of Scripture which
make plain these great facts of a
lasting world peace. But if you
would like to have the joy and sat
isfaction of learning about this,
and of tracing it out from your
own Bible, we shall be glad to mail
you entirely free a streamlined
Bible Course which contains all
these striking facts.

All Club Sunday

Special church services will high

Sunday, May 25, in Delaware All
clubs, it has been announced by
agents in each county. Since its in
ception a decade ago, the obser-
vance of All Club Sunday has be-
come an increasingly significant
part of the All Club programs in
large number of states, including
Delaware. This year, the theme,
Working together for better

given its first impetus during the
observance of National All Club
Week, and will continue to be the
theme of all All events during
1947 in accordance with the action
taken by State club leaders.

and so on, ad infnitum Where
can we find the answer?
This longing for peace. this de-
sire to build an enduring political
structure, is no new thing in the
world. For ages men have been
hoping that the institutions they
established for security would
withstand the ravages of time and
changing conditions and provide a
stable basis for future generations.
But the generations that followed
always found some flaw in the ar
rangement and set about to cor
rect the difficulty.
In spite of past failures, We can
say that all wars are as sure to
come to an end as the fact that
there is a God. Read Psalms 46: 9.
The Lords Prayer cannot fail.
The time will come when the will
of God will be done on this earth
as perfectly as it is now done by
the angels around His throne in
Heaven. See Matthew 6: 10.
When the Prince of Peace rules
the earth from sea to sea then there
will be a lasting and complete
peace, of which there will be no
end. Read Isaiah 8: 6, Z. Then
nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they

FARM NEWS

With summer approaching poul-
trymen are likely to find lice on
the hens and mites in the cracks
and crevices of the laying house.
For control of lice, ]. Frank Gordy,
extension poultryman, suggests ap-
plying thin stream of nicotine
sulfate solution on top of the roost
about one-half hour before the
birds go to roost. To kill mites,
apply old crank case oil in all
cracks and crevices.
Provide easy access to supply
of fresh water for cows on pasture
so they may drink whenever they
want water. Loose salt mixed
with an equal amount of steamed
bone meal or dicalcium phosphate
should be placed in salt box near
the water supply. Keep this salt
box filled at all times. Block salt
is convenient, but is not recon-
mended for cows in production.
Don't neglect the air cleaner on
your tractor, says Jack F. Bell, ex-
tension agricultural engineer. At
ter every ten hours of operation,
and more frequently when operat-
ing under dusty conditions, the oil
cup on the air cleaner should be re-
moved, cleaned and refilled with
new oil. The oil should be the
same grade as used in the crank
case. After 60 hours of operation,
remove the air cleaner, take it
apart and wash it in kerosene.
When replacing the cleaner make
sure all joints are tight and hose
connections do not leak air.

HUNDREDS DIE IN EXPLOSION
 OF STEAMER
Graft Believed to Have Hif Mine-GOes Down in
 70 Minutes
By N. s. Cnakales

ATHENS, Jan. 20.-The Mer- chant Marine Ministry today in- creased to 437 the list of persons missing and believed dead in the sinking of the 1900 ton Greek steamer Chimarra, which went down 20 miles east of Athens yes terday after an explosion officially blamed on mine.
 The latest figures radioed here from shipping offices in Salonika indicated the doomed vessel was carrying 548 passengers and crew of ST when she left there Satur- day.
 Thus far, the Marine Ministry said, only l98 survivors are defin- itely known
 Officials of the Ministry, which said last night that the former German passenger ship had struck a mine, declined to comment on a report that the vessel was a vic tim of sabotage There was no in- dication, however, that they gave any credence to the report.
 Aristides Mytakis, 44-year-old school teacher who survived the disaster, estimated that almost 200 of the casualties were women and children.
 T am afraid every child aboard was lost, and 95 percent of the women" he said.
 Mytakis said the ship sank so quickly that only two of her life boats could be launched. He des- cribed the vessels decks as a solid wall of cursing, fighting men, struggling frantically to save their lives.
 The Chimarra, which sailed from Salonika Saturday, hit the mine a few miles off shore from Rafina Mytakis said the ships master at tempted to beach the. vessel. but was prevented from doing so by a broken rudder control.
 Survivors said the scores of panic-stricken passengers leaped ipto the frigid waters of the gulf as the ship lurched about before sinking Others. trapped below decks, screamed in terror as the vessel settled beneath the surface
