proximately 5000 items needed by
farm families. Among these were:
refrigerators, home freezers, farm

garden tools. The touring mem
bers were next ushered into an
other part of the building where
they were shown how the South
ern States people clean their grains
such as wheat, barley, and oats.
They watched the grain being put
through several processes to rid it
of weeds and wild onions. Another
feature which the Alters observed
was the making of insecticides.
They saw the different materials
being ground and the finished prod
uct being bagged. A giant sewing
machine used for sewing the tops
of bags together caused the boys
some amusement. They said they
thought they would borrow one of
the machines for the use of the
girls in the club who were under
taking the sewing project. The
next stop on the tour was one
which the boys particularly enjoy
ed This was visit to historical
Fort McEIenry. There they were
shown the ancient guns, pistols,
and cannons which were used earl
ier to defend the fort against the
British. They were also told the
history of the fort and shown a
large map of the early Americans.
The concluding part of the tour
was at the fertilizer plant. There
the boys saw giant cranes being
used to mix the materials used in
the making of fertilizer. The treas
urer of the Southern States Com
pany told the members of the tour
that the Baltimore plants were
worth a total of 81, ,250,000. The
expenses of each boy were paid by
the Southern States Company.

BARN BURNS NEAR DOVER
Was on Farm of Francis Raughley
Mile Northeast of Dover

The large dairy barn on the farm
of Francis Raughley, one mile
northeast of Dover on the Persim-
mon Tree Lane, was gutted by fire
Sunday night with total estimat-
ed loss of $500, of which S2,500
was in hay and dairy equipment. A
short circuit was blamed. The
Robbins Rose Company, speeding
to the scene, used its radio to sum-
mon the Cheswold Fire Company
for assistance and also the state
police to handle traffic. Cars going
to the fire hampered both compan-
les in their efforts to eXtinguish the
blaze. The cows were not endang-
cred as they were in the fields at
the time. The large frame build
ing was gutted by the time firemen
arrived. Both companies used fire
trucks in a shuttle service between
the farm and the Dover fire house
to obtain water. Firemen were at
the scene for two hours As minutes.
