able temperatures and a plentiful
supply of hot water give practi-
cal demonstration of electricity's
worth.
Electricity relieves Mothers

many ways. The bottle warmer,

easy reach at feeding time. A

baby tells mother all is well when
she's in another part of the house.
Meanwhile, throughout the home,
the all-electric heating or cooling
system operates smoothly to keep
the family comfortable and
healthy. There are no messy
smells with electric, climate-con-

It's no wonder people are think

TO DISCUSS
SOIL BANK LAW
Joseph Ennis Announces A
Meeting To Be Held At
Caesar Rodney School
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. IL

The newly passed Soil Bank law
will be discussed by a panel re-
sponsible for its operation at the
Caesar Rodney School, on We'd
nesday, September 18th starting
at 8 p.m., according to an an
nouncement by Joseph Ennis,
chairman of the Kent County Ag-
ricultural Stablization and Con-
servation (ASC) Committee.
Farmers have until September
21st to sign up for the acreage
reserve part of the soil bank as
it affects their wheat acreage" "
says Mr.. Ennis. 1923 farmers in the
county already have declared
themselves on their corn acreage.
The purpose of the soil bank is
to reduce burdensome surpluses in
the market place by paying farm
ers to leave out part of their acre
age in allotment crops. Many feel
that war-stimulated production
has so over-supplied the markets
that prices this year are at least
20 percent lower than they might
be in a normal situation.
The conservation reserve fea-
ture of the soil bank has just be-
gun to move into operation. This
program will permit farmers to
"bank" land not affected by allot-
ed crops so that surpluses in 9TH
er crops are not created. 1t is
likely that excess acreages of veg
etables, soybeans, rye, barley and
oats could very quickly develop if
a large number of farmers felt
they had to grow something" in
order to use their lands. Such
land can be banked in the con-
servation reserve to soil building
grasses, clovers, or trees until
such time as the demand for food
stuffs catches up with present
supplies.
This is the only countrywide
meeting planned for this purpose,
but additional meetings can be
held if there is enough demand.
Likewise, farmers are encouraged
