really fine books, to study, to
thinking, to meditation. We must
impose on ourselves the self-dis-
cipline necessary for really honest
and worthwhile mental growth.
In the spiritual realm of our
lives, which is by far the most
important, we need desperately to
grow and that also takes effort
and work In a Lenten service the
other evening, the growth of our
Christian life was our meditation
theme. Just as we need food, fresh
air and exercise for physical
growth, we need comparable
things for our spiritual growth.
How can we grow if we don't feed
our souls? Our food is the Word
we read it with our eyes in the
Bible and accept its truth in our
hearts. Our spiritual exercise is
obtained by our living the Word.
And the very essence Of our daily
spiritual lives are found in Woo
ship and prayer Does it surprise
you that many times even in our
praying we can be completely sell
fish. And that even here we need
to constantly grow? Some one has
said our prayer may be something
like this one: oh, Lord, | feel
miserable, and the situation | am
in is terrible. Won't you help me,
God?"
What should that prayer be?
Say something like this one, if
starts with words of praise: Thou
hast created q wonderful WORLD
for our enjoyment, o Lord. Give
me the courage the cheerfulness.
the pleasantness to enjoy this
wonderful life Thou hast given me
from Thy bounty Contrast the
thinking in those two prayers.
We could well ask ourselves
how we are growing in our spiritu-
al lives? Have you ever tried pray
ing for your enemies? A great
Chinese Christian woman tells how
that experience helped her to
grow. She said after she did that
she felt freed and recharged. She
found that after her persistence in
prayer, she had a fresh burst and
Towering of faith, and with it
wider and deeper joy than she had
ever experienced before.

Agent Suggests Height for
Wall Ovens

When a homemaker has well

sure the oven is at the best
working height.

crime Jones, county home demon
stration agent. An oven installed
at the right height makes work.
ing easier-therell be less stoop-
ing or bending, she explains.
Studies have shown that a wall
oven is most accessible when the
top side ,of the mully opened door
is between one and seven inches
below your elbow height, with
three-inch level most popular. Ell
bow height is the distance from
the floor to the elbow. The dis
tance is measured when you
stand with your arm bent so that
the upper arm and forearm make
a right angle.
Having wall oven at the right
height is also a good safety fea-
ture, the home agent says, since

POULTRY MERCHANDISING
MEETINGS IN WILMINGTON
AND MILFORD

A special program on modern
poultry merchandising has been
scheduled in Wilmington and Mil
ford.
According to Robert L. Bull,
agent in marketing at the Uni
versity of Delaware, both pro-
grams are being planned especial
ly for retailers. The Wilmington
meeting will be held May 13 at
the Diamond Ice and Coal Co.,
and the Milford meeting May Ii
at the Milford Grange Hail.
Bull will discuss opportunities
in poultry retailing, cutting costs
with efficient equipment; and
packaging supplies, equipment,
and overwrapping methods.
Signs of quality, what grades
and inspections mean, care in
handling, profit from proper cut
ting, and taking the guesswork
out of pricing will be the topics
of Willard t. McAllister. extern
sion poultry marketing specialist
at the University,
Neal Wilson of Barbecut King.
Inc, Greenville, S. C., and Bull
will offer merchandising ideas.
They include fresh poultry dis
plays, promoting frozen poultry,
and barbecuing for bigger volume.
Exhibits will include a barbecue
machine in operation, ice displays
of fresh poultry, packaging sup
plies and methods, frozen poultry
displays, poultry retailing publica-
tons, and one on boosting egg
sales.
The programs are being spon-
sored by the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service. They are
among several services available
to retail grocers. Individual store
assistance, bulletins, market in
formation, and a periodical on
improved merchandising methods
are also provided to help retailers
with marketing problems.

Delaware Farm Land Values
Still Rising

Farm land values in Delaware
rose nine per cent during the
past year, as compared with a
four per cent increase for the
US, according to DR., r. o. Baus-
man, chairman of the department
of agricultural economics at the
University of Delaware.
This state increase is exceeded
only by Florida, and since 1910,
farm land values in Delaware
have about tripled, he said.
Normally for Delaware and the
U. s., when prices of farm pro-
ducts fall, land values also fall
but at a somewhat lesser rate.
During the past six years, prices
of farm products have been fall
ing and land values have contin-
ued to rise, the agricultural econ
omist pointed out.
This situation is the result of
a number of causes, he said, with
one of the most important causes
the purchase of additional land
by farmers. Bausman said this is
an effort of farmers to increase
the size of farms to justify theI
high investment in
machinery and equipment. Land
values in Delaware and many
other states are also influenced by
the demand for industrialization
and urbanization, he added.
Farmers bought about two
thirds Of all land sold in the U. S.
since 1910, Bausman stated.

improve the crops quality and
yield. says George Vapaa, county
agricultural agent.
He points out that the correct
amount of chemical must be ap-
piled at the right time to bring
best results. Good agitation in
the spray tank also is necessary
with wettable powders and oil
emulsions.
Some crops the agent suggests
wedding chemically now are:
Asparagus-Use one and one
half to two pounds of Karmex w
in 80 to so gallons of water per
acre. Apply after diseing or clean
cultivation and before weeds and
asparagus spears emerge. On
heavy soils, use two pounds of
the chemical.
Peas Mix one and one-half
quarts Of Premerge or Sinox Pc
in 80 to rs gallons of water. Apr
ply the mixture to every acre
when the peas are three to eight
inches tall and the weeds are less
than two inches high. The tenn
perature should be from 65 to
80 degrees F.
Strawberries = Apply two
pounds of Crag Sesone in 80 to
80 gallons of water per acre one
month after transplantins and
right after cultivation.
