Bees Most Important

tcOntinued from nrsr pare1

bees per acre is necessary.
Because many Delaware farm
ers feel that the more extensive
use of bees to increase production
is necessary, DR.. L. A. Stearns, ex-
tension entomologist at the Uni
versity of Delaware, recently pre-
pared supply and demand" list
for bees, based on the results of
questionnairEs sent to 108 bee
keepers and 365 fruit growers in
the state. Nineteen beekeepers in
dicated they could supply bees for
pollinatiOn, while II fruit growers
specified the need for bees. Some
farmers answering the question
naire said they had already made
necessary arrangements, others be-
lieved that bees "at large" or other
pollinating insects will prove ade-
| quate, and some are engaged in
beekeeping as a hobby only.
Copies of the supply and demand
list are available from the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, Newark, Del, for any farmer
interested in securing bees for pol
lination, or any beekeeper who has
bees to use for pollination.

War Insurance
Applications To
Be Filed Aug. 29
Service Officer
Will Have Forms
Available Here

World War ii veterans in Noble
county will be able to obtain ap-
plication forms for the National
Service Life Insurance dividend
on Monday, Aug. 20, E. E. Gun
ningham, county service officer,
said today.
Cunningham emphasized that
Aug. 20 is the earliest possible
date for filing, as any applica-
tions which are postmarked with
a date prior to that will be dis
carded by the VA and not pro-
cessed. Application forms will be
available at the service office, the
postoffice, the American Legion,
Red Cross, Disabled American
Veterans and the Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
In Noble county, it is expected
that the bulk of the applications
will be at the office of Service
Officer E. E. Cunningham, who
will be in charge of the process
sing.
The forms are comparatively
simple, Cunningham said, re-
quiring only the veterans name,
address, service serial number
and insurance policy number. Ad-
vising veterans to make every eff
fort to locate their insurance
policy number, the service Off
Ger pointed out that the applica-
ton can go forward without the
insurance number.
However, processing such ap-
plications will require an index
ing operation in Washington, and
undoubtedly will involve more
time than an application which
is completely filled out. Veterans
are advised to search all old
papers from the VA pertaining to
insurance in an effort to have the
insurance policy number avail
able when the application is COM
pleted.
During the war years, wives,
mothers, fathers and other rela-
tives, who had been designated as
beneficiaries by servicemen. often
received notification of this ac-
ton, and in many cases, the in
surance number of the veterans
may be secured from these old
forms if they are still available.
Inasmuch as the insurance
number will expedite the process
sing of the forms, Cunningham
urged all veterans to make an
earnest search for the number,
but if they cannot locate it, ap-
plication forms will be accepted.
Practically every veteran in
Noble county will be affected by
the insurance refund.
