Fred Cowman and his son,
Fred Cowman, jr., are taking no
chances on losing their 1000
bushel 1947 corn crop because of
its high moisture content at the
time of harvest. The Cowmans
have installed two electrically
driven, oil-heated dryers, one at
each end of their 105 feet long
corn crib. These dryers have
reduced the moisture content of
the corn from 80 percent to l8
percent after ten days of con-
slant operation. Agricultural ex-
perts agree that ear corn can be
stored safely when its moisture
content is Is percent or less.
The corn crib is l05 feet long,
IL feet wide and II feet high. A
five feet square air duct, made
of concrete block, runs length
wise at the back of the crib. The
back half of the crib, not covered
by the air duct, is covered with
building paper to keep the air
from escaping. The electric dry
ers are portable and are connect
ed to each end of the air duct
back of the crib. Each dryer has
h. p. electric motor which
drives a 34-inch fan, forcing
$4,000 cubic feet of oil-heated air
at one inch static pressure into
the air duct and through the
corn. The warm air picks up
moisture from the corn as 1t
passes through it, thus reducing
its moisture content. This is one
of the first electric corn dryer
installations, using preheated air
in this part of Ohio, although
there are many electrically
driven corn dryers using .unheat-
ed air.

Oh to leaving for Lucy's, John sat
in his Harley Street office trying
to fathom the mood OF discomfort
which engulfed HIM, while up
stairs, Gerda and the children pa
tiently awaited his appearance for
lunch. His thoughts went back to
an earlier chapter in his life, when
he had been madly in love with
glamorous Veronica Cray, motion
picture actress. He had broken
their engagement when she refus-
ed to give up her carer, and later
had married Gerda, whose slavish
devotion had left him free to pur-
sue his beloved profession. In Hen
r;etta he had found the intelligen
understanding which Gerda lack
&c. Recently, when exhausted aft
er a difficult session with old Mrs.
Crabtree, his favorite clinic pa
tent, he had stopped off at her
studio. He was annoyed, however,
when he recognized Gerda as the
model used FOR Henrietta's latest
masterpiece, The Worshiper.

Tears Of see-pity sprang to her
eyes. Why, she thought, does moth

Terence looked across the table
at his mother and then at the

care you, dear? That will be
very NICE" said Gerda.
There was still time. If she rang
the bell and told Lewis to take the
joint down now
Terence looked at her with faint
curiosity. He had felt Instructive
ly that the manufacture of nitro
glycerine was not the kind Of oc-
cupation that would be encourag-
ed by parents. With base oppor-
tunism he had selected a moment
when he felt tolerably certain that
he had a good chance of getting
away with his statement. and his
judgement had been justified. If
by any chance. there should be a
fuss-if, that is, the properties OF
nitro-glycerine should manifest
themselves too evidently, he would
be able to say in an injured voice,
Il told Mother. :"
All the same, he felt vaguely
disappointed. ~,
Even Mother, he thought, ought
to know about ni.ro-glycerine.
He signed. There swept over
him that intense sense Of loneli.
ness that only childhood can feel.
His father was too impatient to
listen, his mother was too inatten-
tive. Zena was only a silly kid.

pay at all. John was so disinter-
ested-so truly noble.
She had always known, from
he very first that John was bril-
amt and was going to get to the
.op of the tree. And he had chosen
Ger, when he might have married
somebody far more brilliant. He
had not minded her being slow
and rather stupid and not very
pretty. "T'I look after you," he
lad said. Nicely, rather master
fully. Don't worry about things,
Gerda, I'll take care OF you. -
Just what a man ought to be.
Wonderful to think John should
have chosen her.
He had said, with that sudden,
very attractive, half-pleadin&
smile Of his, Il like my own way,
you know, Gerda."
Well, that was all right. She had
always tried to give in to him in
everything. Even lately, when he
had been so difficult and nervy -
when nothing seemed to please
him. When, somehow, nothing she
did was right. One couldn't blame
him. He was so busy, so unset
fish.
Oh, dear, that mutton! She
ought to have sent it back! Still
no sign of John. . Why couldn't
she, sometimes, decide right.
Again those dark waves Of misery
swept over her. The mutton! This
awful weekend with the Angka'
tells! She felt a sharp pain
through both temples. Oh, dear,
now she was going to have one
of her headaches. And it did SO
annoy John when she had head
aches. He never would give her
anything for them. when surely il
would be so easy, being a doctor.
Instead, he always said, "Don'd
think about it. No use poisoning
yourself with drugs. Take a brisk
walk"

DELAWARE'S FARM FRONT

Delaware farmers are planting
little more acreage this year than in
1916 according to the Delaware /
crop Reporting Service. More soy
lean acreage is planned as we'll
as a small increase in barley acre I
age. The increased acreage in soy
beans and barley is partly compen- +
stated for decrease in Winter
Wheat acreage.
The sOybean acreage is estimated /
at $1,000 acres, an increase of about
) percent. The barley acreage is es
timated at $1,000 acres or Is per-
cent more than last year Delaware !
farmers planted $1,000 acres of
winter wheat last fall a decrease of
4 percent from the acreage seeded
the previous fall. The prospective
corn, Oat and hay acreageS are the
same as last year The acreage
seeded to rye last fall is estimated
at $4,000 acres decrease of , per-
cent from that seeded the previous
FALL. Much of the rye acreage will
be plOwed under this spring Potato
and sweet potatOe acreages are es-
timated slightly below last year.

The number of livestock on farms
throughout the country declined
during 1916 for the third successive
year since numbers reached an all
time peak on January |, 1914
According to the annual livestock
and poultry report of the Bureau Of

nary estimates indicate a continued
decline of livestock on Delaware
farms.
Delaware figures indicate de-
