His hobby is collecting presiden-

others wait for political speeches.
he waits for campaign buttons.
There should be some mighty in
teresting new buttons coming out 4"
he says.
From previous campaigns he has
almost 1000. He collected more
than 20 during this years pre-
convention campaigning.
His oldest is a faded tintype worn
by Stephen A. Douglas supporters
when Douglas ran against Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1860. Large pins
and ribbons were the order of the
MCKinley-Bryant era, but the but
tons really reached their hey-day,
says Glickert, in the Roosevelt
Willkie campaign of 1910.
That's when bitter sarcasm in
slogans became prevalent and peO-
pie forgot many Of the political
niceties, if any," he said. He said
about 800 different types of pins
were issued during that campaign
and he got about half of them.

rector of the Unemployment Com

for the first time last year.
while we cannot let down in
our efforts to continue to get all

menting on the formation of the

remiss in not pointing out at this
time that the cooperation of Della
ware employers in furnishing jobs
and job opportunities for disabled
veterans and other handicapped
workers is outstanding. To our
Delaware employers this special
observance is a reminder rather
than a necessity. Their consistent
cooperation on a year-rOUnd basis

Improved Storage Helps
Maintain Grain Quality

Excess moisture at the time of
storage is largely responsible for
"Out of condition" grain, says Will
liam Calvert, extension agricul-
tural engineer at the University Of
Delaware. If grain contains over
Is per cent moisture at the time Of
harvest, special though should be
given to it's storage.
To escape the heavy labor Of
transferring grain from bin to bin
until it is dry, Calvert recommends
equipping stOrages with ventilation
devices which will safely lower
moisture content.
These ventilatOrs may consist of
ducts in the bin to allow free air
to circulate, wind directed intakes
to take advantage of any breeze,
or forced air by mechanical ventil-
alton. Fans from barn hay finish
ers are used many times although
actually the amount of air requir-
ed to do a good job is much less.
In extreme cases heat may be used
to speed up the drying.
In any case, it has been found
we'll worthwhile to provide some
means for the grain to dry to a safe
moisture content. The saving in
not having to accept a reduced
price for musty or heat damaged
grains will pay dividends on your
equipment in a short time.

Rains Cause Heavy
State Crop Damage
teontlnued from nrst pagol

Coupled with this were reports
of mildew on the cucumbers in the
lower east central section of Kent
County, in the vicinity of Rising
Sun and Magnolia. Mildew is an
other bacterial disease which is
more severe in rainy weather.
William E. Tarvell, county agent
for Kent County, in announcing
that there is undoubtedly plenty
of damage in Kent County" added
that there can be no real attempt
to learn the amount of damage un-
til the weather changes for the bet
ter and an opportunity is had to
make a thorough examination of
the fields"
One large field east of Dover that
was examined Wednesday after
noon showed plenty of evidence
of the possibility of blight" Mr..
Tarvell said. He voiced fears that
the cucumber mildew 'is expected
to become greater"
Second Blow To Farmers
Farmers throughout the entire
state are anxiOusly awaiting recess
sion of the water from their fields
so they can determine the loss to
their corn crops. The damage is
the second major blow to farmers
in Delaware this year. The wheat
crop, damaged by spring rains,
dropped as low as three bushels to
the acre in some instances and
averaged only 10 bushels to the
acre, compared with previous
years averages of 20 to 25 bushels.
Mr.. WOrrilOw said the rainfall in
the Georgetown area was measur-
ed at two inches from Saturday to
Tuesday afternoon. Although the
recording of Wednesdays fall was
not available, it rained continuous
ly throughout the early morning
and afternoon and was estimated
unOfficially as of record proper
tiOns for the four days
The university official said the
corn loss will probably be felt most
in the sweet corn crops. This will
be the second straight year that
Delaware farmers have experienced
a disappointing tomato crop.
The inundated fields in Delaware
and the flooded roads on the East
ern Shore were the result of a rain
fall that started Saturday and sur
passed the usual half-mOnth aver
age for August during the four
day period. The U. S. Weather Bu-
reau at the New Castle County Air
port measured 2,47 inches of rain
from Saturday to Wednesday night.
Average for August, as determin-
ed by the rainfall of previous years,
is 4.63 inches, officials at the Wea-
ther Station said. Wednesday, .43
inches was measured.
