Looking at the school building proposal strictly from

that it does make Bufton property attractive po

So perhaps the money thatbuys school should be

bassy, followed by an afternoon
Of sightseeing in the Virginia
countryside.
The clear. sunny weather
brought crowds to the Cathe-
dral grounds, where several
hundred stood in spite of the
cold, to greet her arrival.
With the gracious smile that
has endeared her to Americans,
she stepped from her car
shortly before II o'clock and
was greeted at the north en-
trance of the Cathedral by
Dean Francis B. Sayre, who
escorted her into the church.
Later, during the simple
prayer and hymn service, she
heard Dean Sayre pay tribute
to her daughter the Queen as
''a symbol from which the
world can take hope and con-
fidence."
After the service, Dean
Sayre escorted Her Majesty
and her party to the Chapel
Of st. Joseph Of Arimathea to
see the altar service, the max
ing and presentation Of which
was one Of the last official
projects personally directed by
her late husband, King George

tomb of Woodrow Wilson in
the Bethlehem Chapel before
leaving the Cathedral for the

Following / o'clock dinner at
the embassy the Queen Mother
left with her party, accom-
panied by the British Ambas-
sador and Lady Makins and
their twin daughters, Cynthia
and Molly, for a visit to Wood
lawn, and later Gunston Hall.
Already an inveterate sight
seer, Her Majesty delayed her
visit to the historic home of
Nellie Custis Lewis long enough
for a look at some historic
spots in Alexandria.
Later. after her arrival at
Woodlawn, she spoke anima-
tedly of the Alexandria part OF
the trip and of her interest in
seeing Gadsby's Tavern, Christ
Church and some Of the old

An outstanding feature of the
law is provision for insuring loans
made by private lenders. Where
insured loans from private sourc-
es are not available for approved
projects, some direct government
loans will be made.
Interest rates for insured loans
from private sources will be four
percent a year on the unpaid
principal, plus as annual loan in
surance of one percent. Direct
loan interest will be five percent.
Loans can be used, under the
amendment, to pay costs of ma
terials, equipment and services di-
rectly related to the application
or establishment of soil and wat
er conservation practices, water
facilities or drainage. This may
include such things as construcz
tion or repair of terraces, dikes
and ponds, pasture Improvement,
basic application of lime and fer
tilizers, and tree planting. Water
facilities that can be financed
with these loans include tanks,
cisterns, wells pumping and irri-
cation equipment and similar IA
cilities.
Eligibility for loans under this
new legislation will be passed
upon the local three cember coun-
ty committee of the FaA. Loans
will be made only for the types of
soil and water conservation prac-
tices recommended by the Exten-
sion Service, Soil Conservation
Service and other agricultural
agencies. No loans can be made
for annually recurring costs that
generally are considered as farm
operating costs.

Rural Traffic Safety

THE recent White House Con-
ference decided that rural high
way safety should continue to be
an essential part of the nations
farm safety program" announces
Mr.. Francis Thomas, of Marydel,
Chairman of the Kent County
Safety Committee.
For the first time, agriculture
was included as one of the basic
sections in the White House Con-
ference and the results of the
Conference clearly indicate that
agriculture has a vital interest in
traffic safety. 1t was also decid-
ed that strong farm safety pro-
gram is essential to a well round
ed traffic safety program.
The National Safety Council be-
lieves that leadership in traffic
safety in rural areas must come
from organized rural people who
are best equipped to direct public
attention to this problem. Through
the efforts of the National Safety
Council, the various states are
being organized with State Farm
Safety Committees and as a re-
suit, an expanded safety program
for rural people is shaping up.
One example of this fact is the
nationwide campaign to reflector
ize farm equipment. State Farm

Hogs with length have more belly
or bacon, often more loin, and US
ually more udder sections. Pick
boar that will build into your
herd.
If sows are too leggy or shall
low, then look for boar in a
deep-bodied herd.
A boar should have healthy
bones, straight feet and legs.
Medium-good quality bone is bet
ter than either light bone or big
raw bone.
A boar should come from a
large litter that is uniformly good
every pig of high quality,
healthy, and vigorous. If five or
six pigs from a litter lived, that's
only average. Why did the others
die? Some vigor may be lacking.
It's best to get a boar from a
litter of at least seven vigorous
survivors.
Health is the biggest factor in
profitable pork production. Watch
out, when buying, for brucellosis,
shy breeding, nero, rhinitis, or
swollen joints.
Many other factors should en-
ter into your looking = a boar's
masculinity, color and smooth
hair coat, ear size, good healthy
shape and pleasant temperament
and disposition, to name a few.
The boar's dam should also be
checked if she's available. She
should be an outstanding SOW
with good health and with at
least 10 well-developed teats-
preferably 12 or IA.
If you have an established herd,
vapaa points out, it's good idea
to use two boars-'tried' boar you
know satisfies you and your GUS
toners, and new one you're put
ting on trail run" to check his
performance.

Delaware Land Values
Hit Peak in Mid '53

Delaware farm real estate val
ues doubled during and since War
II but appear to have hit their
peak during the summer of 1858.
Since that time they have declin-
ed about five percent.
The greatest decline in land
values is in the mountain states
and the states in the drought
areas. Colorado showed the great
est drop of % percent, with Idaho
and New Mexico each down II
percent. Many of the eastern sea-
board states show declines rang
ing from two to six percent.
Voluntary sales of farm real es-
tate declined during the year. The
volume of foreclosures increased
slightly but in most states re-
manned at low level.

Exchange To Have a Branch
In Dover

The Eastern Shore Poultry
Growers Exchange, thru the Pres
ident Lynn Hollenbeck and the
Manager James Winchester, has
agreed to open a Dover Branch
of the Exchange and maintain it
on a trial basis for at least six
months as an outcome of the
special poultry meeting on Thurs
day, September 23rd. Growers in
northern Delaware will be able to
sell their birds by telephone as is
presently done at Preston, Mary
land.
Sellers will enjoy all the bene-
fits of selling on the Exchange
except actual presence at the
Exchange. However, this is COM
pensated by the saving in travel
time. Costs to the sellers are the
same at either point, and the only
difference is that the seller furn-
ishes a power of attorney to the
officers of the Exchange to COM
plete the sales contract.
Contrary to the original an
nouncement of the meeting, buy
ers must continue to purchase at
Selbyville on the Exchange floor.
The Exchange does not anticipate
changing this policy according to
Mr.. Winchester.
