They will all be here by March 15, Stod- dart raid.
 Ken and Peterman Of Juneau were awarded the contract for the Glacier Highway job. Major construction will be the building of straighway on the highway short distance beyond the cutoff to the Airport to near the approach of the Men, denhall Bridge, eliminating the road curve and bridge over Duck Greek, and a straightway on the Aux Lake section to cut through the hill which houses the. Chapel at the Fritz Cove junction and crossing the creek at the outlet of the lake over a culvert from 2C0 to 300 feet below the pres ent road site, to a point at the hilltop a short distance this side
 of the Christensen place, thus elim- i mating the sharp curve and bridge at the outlet of the lake. A large parking space is to be put in on the far side of the lake outlet for i the benefit of sightseers and the
 short stretch of hill road will be left
 as an approach to the site.

 Senator Lyng expressed concern over whether the overtime provision after 40 hours wouldn't work a hardship on trading posts operated by village councils in the second division. He said they kept open late at night as gathering places for the native populace. : That brought the rejoinder from Sen. Percy Ipalook (R- -Kotzebue) who formerly was a missionary at Wales:
 Tt would be a good idea if it l would force these trading posts to close. The people could do their 1 shopping in a few hours of a day and if they closed at night it would stop these people from hanging around and doing so much unnec- essary visiting late into the night.

us. Farm Income Down,
DeIaware's STAYS Same

In spite of rising prices during
the last half of 1850, United States
farmers realized eight per cent less
income from farming in 1850 than
in 1919. Delaware farmers Jared
slightly better than surrounding
states, according to w. T. McAllis-
ter, extension marketing specialist,
University of Delaware. Compared
with 1949, records showed practic-
ally no decline in receipts from
farm marketing in Delaawre.
Maryland had a two percent de-
cline, New Jersey four percent,
Pennsylvania a five percent decline.
Maine had the heaviest loss-16
percent, while North Carolina re-
ported an IL percent gain.
This brings farmers realized net
income 27 percent below the 1947
peak. In terms of purchasing pow
er, farm incomes are 80 percent be-
low this peak.

How Delaware Farmers Broke
DHIA Records

Sussex County tanners in the
Dairy Herd Improvement Associ-
alton broke records this year with
the highest milk and butterfat av-
erages in it's history. The Tull
Bros, of Seaford, broke another
Sussex County record with butter
fat average of SIT pounds per COW,
50 cows. Kent County also broke
its production and fat averages.
New Castle County will finish its
years books in April, and there are
going to be broken records there,
too, thinks Delmar ]. Young, ex-
tension dairyman at the University
of Delaware.
There will be 16 Delaware herds

year, compared to nine last year,
said Young. He also said that
dairymen who broke these records
this year, did so by:
1. Studying individual production
and feed cost records, and culling
all COWS who didn't show profit.
2. Doing a better job of feeding
improving pastures and making
better use of pastures is a big fac
tor. Higher quality hay more
roughage, and more use OF nome
grown corn and oats also helped to
show profits.
8. Growing out their heifers to
be much better when they enter
the milking herd, and to make bet
ter lifetime records. Some Della
ware dairymen, said Young, have

principal reasons for the 1850 drop.
Estimated income per person on
farms for 1850, was S804 compared
to S816 in 1949. For non-farm per-
sons it was $1546 in 1850; $1494 in
1949. In comparing dollar and
cent" changes of the two years; it
is important to consider the deval-
uation of the dollar that took place
in the last half of 1850, too, said
McAllister.

Prune, Fertilize
Shrubs, Is Advice

Ohio flower gardeners are ad-
vised to cut out dead wood and
"apply liberal applications of fer
tilizer" to correct winter damage
to ornaments.
Victor H. RieS, extension fiori-
culturist at Ohio State University,
advises gardeners Ito cut off all
parts that are dead. Dead twigs
will have no green color just be-
meath the bark" AS more dead
twigs appear later, they can be
cut off too.
The forticulturist recommends
any complete commercial fertilizer
such as 4-12-8. "If you buy it as
named brand, it may be 4-12.4,
6-1O-4 or something similar but
the plants will never know the
difference" He says if fertilizers
are injurious so are T-bone
steaks and French fried potatoes
when we eat several times the
normal amount"

"now that our lives have settled
into peacetime schedule, what a
wonderful philosophy we lived by
in those fearful days! How much
better would our lives now be if
we still thought of each day as be-
ing that precious, that fireplace
able! How many small grievances
would be over-looked--how many
unkind words left unsaid!
How much better would your
marriage and my marriage be, if,
even in these ordinary times, we
always considered the possibility,
what if this day should be our
last together?'
Worth thinking about, isn't it?

In July, the Government started
