Delaware. The scholarship win
ners are Ralph England, ,Jr., fresh
man of North East, Md; William
Bowdel, sophomore of Harrington;

from Elkton, Md; and Rowland
Hearn, senior from Laurel.
The scholarship is awarded an
nually to a freshman in agricul-
ture with at least three years of
satisfactory All club work. With
good grades, the scholarship is
continued for the next three years.

been removed for most of the new
measures that were planned.
Marketing quotas still apply to
wheat. over-harvesting wheat, II
more than is acres, still means
trouble with marketing penalties.
The producer who overplants his
allotment but does not harvest
more than Is acres of wheat
merely loses price support privil-
eges on wheat.
Corn allotments this year are
somewhat larger than they were
a year ago. If these allotments
are overplanted, the producer
again loses the privilege of price
supports on corn, but only corn.
There are no marketing penalties
if the corn acreage allotment is
overplanted.
The earlier restrictions which
limited the crops that might be
grown on diverted acres also have
been lifted. Thus corn and wheat
are the only crops with controls.
One provision of the farm price
law enacted last summer, the So
called Holland Amendment, re-
quired farmers to stay within all
acreage allotments in order to
benefit from the Agricultural Con-
servation Programs cost-sharing
arrangement on approved conserv-
alton practices. A measure has al
ready been passed by the House
of Representatives to cancel this
tie-in. The bill has the support
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, the Grange, and
the Farmers Union.
In event that the Holland
Amendment is repealed, farmers
may still sign up to carry out ap-
proved practices even though they
may have overplanted their corn
or wheat allotments. No sign-up
deadline has been set this year.

Also. keep water in the battery
up to the required level, and make
sure holes in the vent plugs are
not clogged.
Check the oil level daily, and
lubricate such vital points as king
pins and tie rod ends, the engin-
eer explains.
Service your air cleaner daily.
When operating in dusty condi-
tions, check the bottom cup for
dirt, twice a day. If it contains
one-eighth to one-fourth inch of

from dragging on dirt and to aid
the shearer in throwing the sheep,
,Vapaa recommends. Furnish a
sweeper" to keep the floor clean,
and to see that tags are not taken
up with the fleece. Tags should
be bagged separately. Have good
quality paper twine for tying the
fleece. Bag staple wool separate
ly from clothing wools, and fine
wool from coarser grades. Keep
the clip in Identifying lots.
If you have black-faced sheep
or any black sheep, shear them
last, or clean the shearing floor
of loose black fibers, before shear
ing the other sheep.

Dear Mr.. David:
Ha! You men have a lot of nerve.
On December 7, l94l. the Japs
dropped bombs on Pearl Harbor
and the American man went into
khaki. The only trouble was, they
never discovered the war was over.
Afterwards, six pairs of khakis in
every home so the head of the fam
lily can get dressed up.
OF course some men didn't like
khaki = too many memories so.
they went in for blue jeans. Jeans
are just fine, but let a wife put on
anything as tight as the men wear
their jeans and you have a small
revolution: What are you trying
to do, impress the new neighbour"

the guy next door or the one in the

The other looks like death warmed

a tan either.
Across the street is a fellow who
could donate his knees to the high
school to use as basketballs. An
other handsome lad has two pleats
over the top of his Bermuda
shorts. The point is none Of
them have on any thing except
Bermuda shorts, and none Of
them look like Errol Flynn.
What does the American busi-
nessnan look like when he leaves
for the Office? He's all spit and pol

running around in scuffs. getting

Mr.. Masters figured his spade
suit was worth better than two
tricks and the hohors in his red
suits were surely good for an
other trick. His three tricks plus
his partners promised seven
made q total of 10. The spade
game should be there.
And, Of course, it was there.
But, as usual Mr.. Masters played
for the maximum Of eleven
tricks, which he could do with
out seriously jeopardizing his
contract.
He got the opening or the
queen of clubs. Since he didn't
relish a diamond lead through
his king, he played low from
dummy. Mr.. Abel played the
six and the queen won. The
jack of clubs was now led and
Mr.. Masters ruffed.
If he had now taken three
rounds of trumpS he would have
held himself to ten tricks as
that would have left only one
trump on the board to ruff dia-
monds from the closed hand. He
took just two rounds of trumps
cashing dummy's ace and king
Next he led a club from dummy
and ruffed it. He led to the
king of hearts, returned dunn
my's last club and ruffed it with
his last trump.
Now he returned to dummy
with the ace of hearts and led
the jack of spades, picking up
the last outstanding trump and
discarding a small diamond
from his own hand.
Dummy's jack of hearts was
overtaken with the queen and on
the fourth heart a diamond was
discarded from the board. At
this stage dummy was good with
the exception Of one diamond
loser. Thus the defenders were
held to one winner in clubs and
one in diamonds.
