Higher yields per acre mean

more crops are grown on an acre
you'll get more bushels bales,

Teachers Meeting
Successful Affair


Continued from first page)
Hickman, principal of the high
school and the response and pre-
sentation of gift from the fac
ulty was made by Ray Wilkerson.
principal of the elementary school.
The evening was concluded by an
informal social get-together with
refreshments under the chairman
ship of Mrs. Earl Brown.
DR.. Devilbiss, one of Maryland s
outstanding leaders in public edu-
cation, developed the theme that
there is vasl power for good in
our public scho OILS and they have
a key to vast potential OF service
to humanity. He warned that we
must not get lCst in details and
thus lose sight Of the wider views
and purposes of this most impor-
tant period in the lives of our chill
dren. He stressed that most teach
ers are dedicated, sincere, and high
of heart and purpose as they seek
to worklon uncut, rough diamonds
each day. In answer to much criti-
cism of modern schools, he men
toned that too often parents and
teachers are disappointed in the
work done by their pupils and
that we expect too often for all to
do equally we'll He reminded the
group that no two children bring
or leave the same thing to a school.
The former head of the School
of Education at the University of
Maryland then spoke of some
characteristics of a good school
system. He said that good
school should be person minded
rather than thing minded. What is
important in the school? Is it the
material things as buildings and
fixtures or is it the people? The
dignity of each child is the thing
that counts most. A teacher is not
really a good teacher unless she
or he feels" the worth of each
child. In the world of today as
we battle communism we can not
afford waste of any talent for the
youth of today are the citizens of
the future. We have not tapped
the resources of our population
to the fullest and DR.. Devilbiss
said, this is our greatest challenge
today with our youth. He added
that a good teacher should ask
himself How we'll did / do to-
day?" He went further to state
that each pupil and parents should
also ask themselves the same
question.
A pupil should ask himself
HAS this been profitable day?
Have | gained new knowledge,
new attitudes, new insights, and
new behavior? In other words we
should all, parents, pupils, teach
ers, be working to higher plane
or level than we were compared to
yesterday. A teacher of persons
is more desirable than teacher
of subject. The power of edu-
cation lies in wisdom not in
knowledge. If the home doesn't
grow, it is hard for the pupil to
grow. DR.. Devilbiss mentioned
that name throwing is bad business
that we all have our faults and
that we as adults and parents must
be what we expect our children to
be. We must encourage sensible
activity in the home with use of
free time.
The second main trait of good
school system is a recognition by

Gladiolus Easy To
Grow Says Agent

The Gladious is rapidly becom-
ing one of the top most flowers to
be grown in the home flower gar
den says Ray Lloyd, Asst County
Agent. This is due to the fact that
the flowers are adapted to so many
uses-corsages, individual blooms,
baskets of individual or mixed va
rieties, or in combination with
other flowers. And for the COM
mercial grower there are two
sources of income-fiower and
bulbs.
Glads are easy to grow and with
attention to just few details they
will produce larger and more beau
tiful blooms. Now is the time to
plant the bulbs, and with weekly
paintings till June you can be sure
of a succession of flowers till frost.
They will grow in any kind of soil
provided they have moisture and
enough fertility. The soil should be
plowed or spaded deeply.
Plant the bulbs 3 to inches
deep with the bulbs to inches
apart in rows 30 to SO inches wide.
The width of row will depend on
how they will be cultivated. Glads
may be planted in a cluster of
to bulbs in an established flower
bed so long as they are not shaded.
Go easy on the fertilizer, says
Mr.. Lloyd. Fertilizer is one of the
least important things i'm growing
Glads. Too much fertilizer delays
blooming and helps cause disease.
Well rotted manure put on in the
fall before planting is perhaps
can BE made. Two or three light
applications of a mixed fertilizer
such as a 5-10-10 as a side dress
ing to inches away from the
plant during the growing season
will help produce larger flowers
provided 1t rains or you add water.
Like any other crop. glads will
do best when the soil is kept stirred
and the weeds are not allowed to
grow. Do not cultivate deeply but
do it often. Soak the ground once
a week unless it rains. Glads need
lots of water to do their best.
Spray or dust the glads every
week to 10 days throughout the
growing season to control thrips.
DDT, Chlordane or Malathion may
be used for this. Then at DIGGING
time dust the bulbs with DDT or
a mixture of these materials. Fer
mata may be added to the spray or
dust to prevent Botrytis rot.
Growing gladioius can become
an interesting mart of flower grow
ing as a s,deline to gardening, a
commercial enterprise. or just a
real good hobby. If interested in
further details as to varieties, or
ether phases of culture. Mr.. Lloyd
urges you to get in touch with him
at the County Agents office in
Georgetown.

ing rich new values with profound

Locally, the biggest eonserva-
ton problems seem to deal with
land drainage. Much of our land
remains or is returning TO wetland
conditions, which do not contribute
to a healthy farm economy. The
state legislature and the levy court
recognize the Importance of drain
age through the tax ditch programs,
and provide help for drainage
work. Landowners by law can now
organize into community ditch
companies, vote. to borrow money
on the strength of future taxes as
security, and construct 'tax ditch
es" which tend to benefit the whole
area. Once the water can be taken
off the land, then farmers are able
to go along with other conservation
measures such as. grassland farm
ing, tree planting, or other mea-
sures which tend to fit the land
for its best use. Farmers today are
building up-or banking" soil fer
tility even as they maintain good
crop yields.
Members of civic organizations
are reminded that speakers, films,
exhibits and a wealth of material
is available for the use of organ
lied groups in Kent County. Simp-
ly contact Fred Mott, conserva-
Zionist at the local Soil Conserva-
ton Service office in Dover, or the

all that people differ and that
their needs are therefore differ
ent They need different things, in
different amounts, at different
times. We need schools that can
develop our youth up to the linz
it of their ability, not a soft un-
growing system. We must all
stretch a bit each day. This is our
challenge as we reach ahead for
our goals. For they are like stars,
our ideals that we keep reaching
for. Are we expecting proper
stretching each day?
Our standards must be high
enough to be reachable only by
effort. Pupils must get sense

lack of a feel" by pupils of the
worth-whileness of education. In
the home the pupil should plan
part of his day for mind develop

children. Such planning becomes
habit forming and deyelopes an
attitude of expectancy. Students
