Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Austin and
family, Jimmy, Billy and Sandy,
and Mr.. and Mrs. John O'Neal
have returned home after a weeks
visit to Miami Beach, Florida.
The Rev. Henry M. Parks deliv-
cred a very interesting sermon on
Sunday morning. A fair-sized
congregation heard the discourse.
He said in part: "Life's greatest
decision was the text-The Psalm
list was overwhelmed with the
sense of the glory and benevolence
of God. He feels no return was so
great as to acknowledge and ac-
cept Gods cup of salvation. God
is faithful to keep his promises to
his saints for their prayers. Gods
reward is ample and sufficient for
all our services and needs. This
too, should arouse us to do some
thing with God, his glory, and mer-
cies. What have we done with
God, anyway? Next Sunday morn
ing, II am, DR.. o. A. BARLEY,
District Superintendent, will preach
at Emmanuel and Scott Churches.
In this section the corn produc-
ton is seen on the rise. Within
recent days leaders in agricultural
work stated that the present corn
average of 40 bushels per acre
would rise to so in the near future.
The leader said that experiments
are being carried out to assure
this jump in the corn production
within a short time. Farmers
hail this prediction with a full
measure of delight.
AS a rule local farmers do not
have any spare time in which to
gather ice and do other important
things that is aimed to help out in
summer time. But in the old days
they used to allot three or four
days of winter to gather a supply
of ice and do other chores that
really belonged to the farm in
those days, usually about January
goth or February Goth scores of
farmers used to go to the nearby
pond and get fine supply of ice
for use in the summer. They us
ually dubbed together and got the
work done quicker and at less ex-
pense. About eight out of every
ten farmers around here had an
ice house in those days.
How many ten-ton tomato grow
ers shall we find in this section
after the season for this years
ends. In the old days we used to
find at least three or four who
could reach that goal and appar-
emily no trouble at all. In recent
years four or five growers have
reached the point of nine tons yet
just below the winning line. We
hope that this year several of our
wide-awake growers will even sur
pass the limit of ten tons per acre.
The land around here is surely
suitable for that fine limit.
Finding two rabbits where only
one had been shot at, apparently
seems nothing new to some hunt
ers who claim that they have had
that to happen at times while out
with a crowd of gunners. One
hunter said on two occasions he
shot at rabbit as it entered some
bushes and that he found two dead
rabbits there when he went there
to pick the game. Others, too,
say that they have had similar
queer luck.
An epidemic of colds, mostly the
virus grippe, has caused many to
go to bed and those moving around
are also under the doctors care.

If homemakers don't get a chance
to try it for themselves, or want
to see how effective it is, Miss
Pearce says that the department
of entomology of the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station is
working with her, testing the new
substance, EQ-53. The results will
be on display next July, at the
Kent-Sussex Fair Agricultural Ex-
tension exhibits.
The substance, EQ-53 is essenti-
ally mixture of the insecticide
DOT and other chemical carriers.
Homemakers can mothprooof
blankets, sweaters, mittens, and
other washable woolens by pouring
a few spoonfuls of the solution to
the wash water. The treatment
can be done in nearly all home
washing. machines, or it can be
used in wash basin or tub. AS

University Club Starts
State All Newspaper

"a monthly newspaper through
which all Delaware All Clubs may
communicate" is the way the
members of the University of Del
aware All Club describe their new
service to state All Clubs.
The first issue of state All
newspaper, 'The Diamond State
4-Her", came out this week, and
is being distributed to all All fam
lilies in Delaware. Editor VIM. Glen
Dill, of Milford, describes the pur-
pose behind the newspaper in this
way, This is a contribution from
a few of us who have left our home
All Clubs to attend the University
of Delaware. This has by no
means severed our bonds with club
work. While the All Clubs do join
lat statewide occasions, there is for
the most part, no medium through
which all clubs can communicate.
This newspaper with regularly
monthly issues is intended to serve
that very purpose"
The newspaper will carry artic-
les about state All activities, new
All Clubs, club ideas, county ac-
tivities, and news of college life.
This first issue tells of Vaughn
Fox's return from India, the New
Castle county leaders workshop,
the Sussex County Demonstration
Day and Public Speaking Contest
May 2, news of former All agents
and leaders, and All gardening
hints.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAM
LIES OF KENT COUNTY

Eighty-nine accidents Injuries
serious enough to require hospital
ization or a doctors attention)
were reported by the $50 commun-
ity accident reporters in the first
month of the Farm Safety Survey,
says Miss Louise R. Whitcomb, of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. Twenty-seven of
these accidents involved children.
These causes are the same ones
that were most important in the
1948 Delaware Farm Safety Sur
vey. It shows that these three
things-falls, machinery, and fires
should be emphasized in safety
preventive measures in the home
and on the farm" says Miss Whit
comb.
with spring cleanup, and
spring field work in our schedules
these days We should be especially
careful about fires and machines.
Follow safety rules and use safety
shields around machines"
When burning trash, or using
fire of any sort, Miss Whitcomb
suggests avoiding dry, windy days;
burning late in the day when wind
has died down; having more than
one person present to watch the
fire; notifying your fire department
when starting large scale fires;
and never leaving a fire until it is
completely out.
Remember those 81 children in
jured accidentally in February"
reminds Miss Whitcomb. Spring
weather means children playing
outside more. What them, and
keep them safe"

Time To Enter Greener
Pastures Program

April is is the deadline for
farmers to enter the 1858 Greener
Pastures Program. Farm owners,
operators and tenants who are in
terested in improving their live
stock forage program are invited
to enroll by the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service and the
Delaware Corp Improvement AS
sociation, co-sponsors of the pro-
gram
The purpose of the program is
to aid and encourage Delaware
farmers to produce full season sup
plies of high quality hay, pasture
and silage. Every farmer who en-
rolls becomes a demonstrator OF
the value of good roughage in
producink milk and meat econom-
ically.
Each farmer enrolling will be
asked to supply information on his
practices and operations. Records
of milk sold and grain fed during
the pasture season should be avail
able. Judges will score the corage
program on each enrollee's farm at
least twice during the season. En-
phasis will be placed on the pos
sibilities of improvement in the
program, within the farmers facil-
tiles and resources.
A change over last years pro-
gram is that farmers who received
Excellent" ratings in 1952s
Greener Pastures Program will not
be eligible to enroll. Their names
will be inscribed on permanent
honor roll, and they will be asked
to sponsor a new enrollee in the
program.
Enrolment blanks are available
from the County Extension Offices
in Newark, Dover, or Georgetown.
These blanks should be filled out
and returned to the county agricul-
tural agents by April Is.
