Eternal Life

That I may know Him
ana attain the resurrection from
the dead."-Phil. 3:1O-11.
By J. Harry Wright
Deaths not a fend. nor trvant on
o throne,
Nor evil spirit which has nowor
to kill;
He's just a servant, roaming wide
DER earth
Forever subject to Gods holy
Deaths no nihilist, no dread de-
strOyer,
He cannot kill a soul God has
forgiven!
Gods angels wait to hear the King
command them
10 bring redeemed souls to Him
in heaven.
Christ's resurrection has abolished
death
Brought immortality and life tn
light!
His gospel shall forever be a bea-
con
To guide all pilgrims who would
follow right.
Some day, my labor DER God's
angel Winging
Will come, to bring me into
heaven above.
Because know Christ as NV
Saviour now,
He saved me by His all redeem
ing love.
There in the glory and the peace |
Of heaven,
l. and my loved ones, verdant
fields could roam;
Ihere angels could lead me down
a pathway,
And bring me to a dwelling I'd
call home.
WhO'd be my neighbors there in
that fair City?
Saints, prophets, martyrs. and 1
all whO've been forgivenl
servants Of God, who served the II
Risen Lord
Here on the earth until they're
brought to heaven.

1855 Marketing Quota Review,
Committee
A Marketing Quota Review Com
mittee for Delaware was recently
appointed by the Secretary Of
Agriculture. Mr.. ElwOOd Gruwell
FELTON,, is chairman Of the COM
mittee; Mr.. J. Clifford Rhoades.
MlddletOwn, is vice chairman: Mr..
Walter Lank, Milton, is regular
member; Mr.. Douglas Fry, Milford,
is alternate for Kent County; Mr..
John r. Butler, Middletown, is
alternate for New Castle County:
Mr.. Lucius Webb, Milford, is alter
nate for Sussex County.
The appointment of a single COM
mittee for the State represents a
change for 1855 from the previous
practice of having a Marketing
Quota Review Committee for each
county. The review committee
serves only when called into ses-
sion to consider the appeal Of
farmers dissatisfied with their al
IOtments or other determinations
made in connection with Marketing
Quota Programs. In Delaware mar
keting quotas apply only to wheat
in 1855.
New Wool Program Announced
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has announced a price in
centiVe program on wool effective
for the 1856 marketing year which
begins April /. The incentive price
program aplies both to shOrn wool
and wool on animals marketed.
Payments for both shorn wool
and wool on animals marketed will
be based on the difference between
the national average price growers
receive for wool in 1855 and &c per
pound which is the incentive price
announced for the coming market
ing year. To be eligible for incen-
tive payments producers must have
owned the animals for at least 30 |
lays and the wool or lambs and |
7earlings must be marketed on or
after April /, 1865. In the case of |
ihorn wool, the wool cannot have |
been shorn before January 1866.
Applications for payment under
ne new program will be made to
county ASC committee offices.
The 1855 payment on shorn wool
Will be a percentage applied to the
Individual growers returns from
eligible wool. The rate Of payment
will be the percentage needed to
)ring the national average price
'eceived by all producers for shorn
WOOL up to the incentive level of
'2c per pound, grease basis. This
method OF payment should encOur-
.ge producers to improve the quail
ty Of their wool and to obtain the
'est possible price for it because
Incentive payments will increase as
otaI net returns from wool sales
Increase.
In contrast to the shorn wool
ayment, the payment for wool on
ambs and yearlings will be a fiat
ate per hundredweight of live
nimals. The actual payment rate {
s in the case of shOrn wool will
OF be known until mid 1856 when
will be possible to compute the
ational average price received by
roducers for shOrn wool.
