"PEOPLE ARE FUNNY

It seems quite safe to assume
that most of the readers of these
lines have chuckled at a series of
programs coming over the air that
is titled, People Are Funny"
Probably most of us will concur in
this appraisal of others that they
really are funny. Having been a
pastor for many years, it has often
seemed to me that many are espe-
cially funny in their relationship
to the church to which they belong
but which they seldom attend. They
remind one of saying by Will
Rogers. Being asked one day
about his church affiliations, replied
with his usual quizzical smile,
smile, well, it is like this, the
=. (mentioning the denomination)
is the church I stay away from. !"
And this leads to my "sixty-four
dollar question"-is your church
the church you stay away from? To
illustrate what l mean 1 would
present several anomalous situa-
tions.
My first anomaly directs atten-
ton to a problem faced by the prin-
cipal of public school. The school
board has engaged him at an ac-
ceptab1e salary and has given him
a competent corps of teachers.
Money is expended generously to
give this school the best attainable
equipment with which to do its
work. The tax-paying public pays
the bill voicing no complaint. Moth
ing is too good for their children.
September comes and the school
opens but no children come. Upon
his anxious inquiry the principal
is informed that the public has
given him an adequately equip
ped and competently stated school
and has placed him in charge and
that therefore it is his duty to go
from house to house and coax the
children to come Wouldn't that be
a funny" arrangement? How
would you like to be the principal
of that school?
Or, if you are willing to pursue
this trend of thinking bit farther,
let us consider the plight of a
young woman who has been engag-
ed as a servant in a home. She is
an excellent cook and the grocer's
clerk and the butchers boy bring
her ample provisions to ply her

Chairman Outlines
Conservation Reserve
Signup

Farmers should bring along the
necessary information when they
file a request for a basic Conserva-
tion Reserve rate at the County Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and C0nser-
vation Office, according to r. H.
Wilson, Chairman of the Kent
County ASC committee. The dead
line for requesting that basic an
nual rate per acre be established
for land offered under the 1860 pro-
gram is September 10, although
requests may be filed at the Coun-
ty ASC Office as early as August
The county office has regular
forms to be filled out when far
mers apply for a basic rate. In
formation needed to complete the
form includes description of the
acreage for which the basic rate Is
requested and the crop production
history of the land. For each field,
details will be needed as to the
kind of crop per acre for the g.
year period 1855 through 1859.
After the basic rate for farm is
established, the farmer will have
an opportunity to file an applica-
ton for a Conservation Reserve
contract
Mr.. Wilson also reminded far
mers that land for which a basic
rate is requested must be eligible"
land. To be eligible, land must have
had crop harvested from it or
must have been in regular rotation
during 1852 In addition, tame hay
land may be placed in the Conser-
vation Reserve provided it has O.
stand of perennial grasses or Leg
umes normally established by land
preparation and seeding. Tame hay
land also have had hay or silage
harvested from it in of the four
years 1956-1959.
Farmers who have questions
about the Conservation Reserve can
get the answers at the Kent Coun-
ty ASC Office, 313 S. Governors
Ave-, Dover, Delaware.

art. She prepares excellent meals
breakfast, lunch and dinner-but
no one comes to eat. Father, mo-
ther, and the children, all remain
absent from the table. Voicing her
surprise at this, she receives this
reply: "We provide you with the
most modern cooking equipment
and the finest meats and vegetables
money can buy with which to pre-
pare our meals, it is therefore your
duty each day to come and coax us
to eat" Wouldn't that be a fun
ny" family to work for? Would
you enjoy being the cook in that
home?
Somewhat after the same fashion
a congregation engages a pastor
and provides him with beautiful
church adequately equipped. The
pastor spends many hours prepar-
ing his sermons and each Sunday
morning steps into his pulpit to
preach, but a goodly proportion of
his members fails to appear. HaV-
ing given him a church in which to
bring his weekly message and pay
ing him a salary to do so, they
seem to think that this obligates
him each week to go from house to
house and coax his members to
come. People are funny" to ex-
pect that-don't you think so, too?
No more than a teacher is ex-
pected to solicit his pupils to come
to school, no more should it be
necessary for any pastor to impor-
tune his people to come TO church.
He is always happy to visit the sick
and the shut-in and to solicit pros
pective members wherever they
may be found, but he is very reluc-
tant to make his high calling to
be little better than that of truant
officer for Sunday-breaking Chris
tians. No more than a cook is ex-
pected to persuade her household
to come and eat, no more should it
be necessary for a minister to So
licit his members to come regular
ly to Gods house BY study and
meditation and prayer it is his OBJ
legation to spread Masters table
with the Bread of Life, but it is
equally the obligation and privil-
ege of his members to come and
dine.
So come to church gladly, will
ingly and regularly. People truly
are funny" who neglect this God
blessed privilege.

Small Grains Excellent
For Fall Pasture

Small grains such as rye, wheat
and barley, can stretch the pasture
season this fall and next spring
says William H. Henderson, county
agricultural agent
Rye yields more forage than
either wheat or barley. Total sea-
sonal yields for rye has been over
8 tons of dry matter per acre.
Small grains for pasture can be
planted throughout Delaware now.
Henderson says they should be
ready for grazing in or Z weeks.
lin general one acre of small
grain for each 4 mature animals to
be grazed has been right. Three
bushels of seed per acre will as
sure a heavy stand.
When grown for pasture, it's
best to fertilize small grains liber-
ally. Drill deeply about 500 lbs. of
10-10-10 or equivalent prior to see
ding. Reasearh indicates serious
seed injury results when large
quantities of high analysis fertili-
ger is drilled with the seed. Addi-
tional nitrogen can be applied in
early spring to increase spring
production.
When properly managed and fer
tilted, small grain can be fall
grazed and still be harvested for
grain with little or no reduction in
grain yield, Henderson says.

Laundry Bag Is
Off To School
By DOROTHY ROE


Every Boarding School girl needs
laundry bag-the bigger the bet
ter, and sturdy enough to stand the
gaff of weekly trips through the
mails, when the laundry goes home
to mother.
A husky duffle bag of water
repellent, mildew-resistant canvas
solves the problems of storage and
transportation. You may choose
either a solid color or a gaily
striped awning canvas.
After much experiment, local
sewing center experts have worked
out the ideal school laundry duffle
simple to make at home. They sue-
gest you make it with a drawstring
top and an Identification card poe
ket. The pocket on the side serves
as an address holder. A piece of
cardboard with daughters school
address on one side, parents home
address on the other, serves as a
permanent mailing label. Fourth
class postal charges for nine
pounds of laundry will be under
20 cents if the school is less than
300 miles from home. VfH
The carryall can be stitched ON
your electric wing machine.
However, it is recommended that
a heavy mo. 18) needle and heavy
(No. 40) thread be used. A straight
stitch is satisfactory, but a zigzag
stitch on an automatic slant-needle
machine will give greater seam
strength. Canvas may be pur-
chased from a local awning shop.

you will need one and five-eighths
yards of canvas, matching thread
and twelve feet of cotton clothes
line cord. Here's how it is made:
1. Draw a circle IA inches I'm
diameter on the canvas, using pen
Gil and a piece of string. This
forms the bottom of the bag. Cut a
42-lnch length of canvas for the
sides.
2. Work drawstring openings.
3. Use remaining fabric scrans
Ior the card pocket. Cut two strips
an men and half wide and five
inches long, and two the same
width and six inches long. III Won
are using a striped canvas, center
a stripe in each strip. Turn under
edges so that only the stripe shows.
Topstitch. Next join the four strips
to form a rectangle. Stitch to the
middle of your 42-inch length of
canvas, leaving the top of the poe
ket open for insertion of the mail
ing card, which should be in a
plastic holder.

doubled cord through the casing.
This handy bag also can be used
for carrying books, groceries,
sports equipment and many other
items. On trips to and from the

and makes a welcome gift.
