them. Then Miss Shoffner present
ed skit entitled Textile Town,
using many dolls dressed in var
ious materials. The members
learned that the first four inhabi-
tants of Textile Town were cot
ton, linen, silk and wool. Cotton
and linen were used 5000 years
ago. Silk was developed in China
and the making of wooden goods
was one. of the oldest industries.
Rayon was the first man made
fiber. 1t was manufactured at Mar
Gus Hook, Pa, in 1910. Many
changes have been made through
the years in the manufacturing
Silk today doesn't turn yellow like
that of many years ago. Wool that
used to be ravaged by moths is now
moth. proofed. Nylon we find is
one of our strongest fibers.
The members learned about the
new Labelling Law which has gone
into effect. The act requires that
textile fiber products carry label
giving the generic or family names
and percentages by weight of the
fibers in the product. Each generic
name designates a kind of fiber that
differs in origin. Fibers in each
generic classification perform in a
similar manner and require a SINH
lar type of care Generic names
are a clue to proper washing, dry
ing and pressing temperatures, to
spot removal and storage. Become
familiar with generic names. They
will be your key to proper care.
If a manufacturer uses trade
name he must pair it with the
generic name. For. example, Orion
Acrylic Fiber. A pamphlet entitled
"Clues to Clothing Care and La
bells" can be secured from the Ex-
tension office in Georgetown, free
of charge, by any interested per-
son.

that October 25 is County Achieve
ment Day and will be held in

Corn Demonstrations
Are Widely Witnessed

Farmers showed serious interest
in the variety of corn harvesting,
drying and storage equipment as
well as the discussion programs
presented at corn demonstration
plots on the farms of Frank Wink
ley, near Harrington and Marshall
Wooten, near Millsboro.
Most farmers visiting the demon
strations expressed an interest in
changing some part of their opera
ton so as to increase their income
from corn.
Either they want to increase their
storage facilities SO they can hold
their corn for a better market price
or they want to find a way to har-
vest their corn sooner so as to cut
field losses. This means Smelling
and drying, according to extension
specialists.
University of Delaware agricul-
tural engineer Ernest N. Scarbor-
ough pointed out the advantages
and problems involved in early har-
vesting. Early harvest reduces
,
birds, shelling out during picking
and stalk breakage. 1t means pick
ing at high moisture levels and this
means either high discounts, if the
corn is sold Immediately, or some
type of drying equipment.
Scarborough said artificial dry
ing of corn on the ear is not prac-
teal so a shelter is a necessary
piece of equipment if a farmer
plans on drying his corn.
He also recommended a corn
combine for large acreages. The
combine picks cleaner, is easier to
| handle, faster and safer, he said.
Another agricultural engineer,
Robert B. Williams, discussed var
ious storage for both shelled and
ear corn and facilities and methods
of controlling rodents and mois-
ture.
Agricultural Sterilization and
| Conservation representatives de-
scribed funds available for loans
to farmers for building storage
facilities and drying equipment
Lister Hall, Kent County ASC Of
| flee Manager, told the group at the
Kent County demonstration that
| four per cent loans were available
| for purchase of storage on four
year basis covering up to 80 pei
cent of the total cost. The same
| interest and time period, fouf pei
cent and four years, is available
fov ~ Of hn
| of drying equipment, he said.
William H. Mitchell, extension
agronomist, explained the demon
stration plots and the fertilizer and
plant population and the yield diff
| ferences resulting from the var
ious treatments.
Yields on the plot fertilized al
the recommended rate of 1000
pounds of 1888 at the Marshall
| Wooten farm hit 1928 bushels per
acre. The no fertilizer plot produc-
ed % bushels.
w. T. McAllister concluded the
discussion part of the program by
pointing out some of the alternative
systems and the size of operation
needed to justify various kinds OF
equipment.
McAllister said that because a
farmer figures he can break even
| or make a little money by invest
ing $4,000 in harvesting, drying and
storage doesn't mean that he should
do it. He should also think about
the other things he could do with
the $4,000 that might make him
more money.
Various types of harvesting and
drying equipment then went into
action on the demonstration plots
while the farmers looked on.

Once Abraham went down the
Mississippi River in a boat to sell
some things for a man. When he
came back all the boys in town
were strutting around like cocks.
You see, the man that Lincoln
worked for said that Lincoln could
beat anybody.
The strongest boy in the crowd
fought Lincoln. Lincoln threw the
boy on the ground. Then the whole
crowd went to shake Abe's hand.
Even the boy that Lincoln had
beaten. From that day on Lincoln
was the strongest boy in town and
everyone knew it.
When Lincoln was older he be-
came our 18th president. He freed
the slaves.
In 1865 Lincoln was shot by
John w. Booth. All the United
States was sad about that. Lincoln
was Sc when he died. He was bur-
led in Springfield, Ill.

name was Thomas Lincoln. His
mothers name was Nancy Hanks
Lincoln. He had a sister. Her
name was Sarah Lincoln.
BY the time Abraham was eight,
he wanted to go to school. He did

little one-room school. Pretty soon

him.
When Abe was nine, a bad sick
ness was going around and his mo-
ther died. Abe was sad about that.

name Sarah Bush Johnston. Abe's
step-mother was nice. 1t was be-
cause of her that he was a great

Abe grew straight up into the air
like fir tree. His buckskin bree-
ches were always too short and
too tight, and made blue circles on
his legs.
Abe had gone to Springfield to

Abraham Lincoln was born in
Kentucky in the year 1909. When
Abraham grew up to be a boy he
had some neighbors that lived too
close to them, so his father said
that they would move soon. When
they moved they Travelled over one
hundred miles to Indiana. There
they built a cabin with three sides.
The fourth side was wide open.
There was NO door or window. On
cold winter nights they put a
blanket on the open side of their
house.
The Lincoln family was very
poor. When Abraham was nine his
mother died. Then his father got
him a step-mother.
Abraham liked to read books.
He read all he could. He didn't
mind having to walk twenty miles
a day to get a book. When Abra-
ham grew up to be a man he start
ed to study to be lawyer. Later
he became president.
He freed the colored people from
being slaves, so the South and the
North went to war. The South wore
gray, and the North wore blue.

lean Cousin" in the year 1865.
