Vl Was not the rain
III wonderful? Maybe
KWA@ there are some of
- you who would like
to see the sun today but the
cool and the moisture must be
so helpful to the surrounding
country that patience and toll
erance are qualities that we
must have just now. This
weather is a bit rough on the
resorts ard those who are
hopeful of enjoying the sand,
sun and water. Half of the
summer is gone, too, but if
the other half is reasonable,
there will be time for all of
that yet.
There is a constant lament
about the lack of news. Many
have gone to the shore, many
more are on vacation pnd so
it leaves the social column
much to be desired. Sunday
evening, however, the young
marrieds g&e David and Anne
Burton a Nee surprise. A
large group went to their
new home in Lakelawn Es-
tates ard gave them a house
warming. A gift of a table
and lamp for their new home
and food for the evening
were just a part of the en-
joyment of the evening and
the company left the Burtons
feeling happy and thankful.

OPPOSITION EXPRESSED

The Board of Directors of the Del.
Farm Bureau has expressed its op-
position to the newest version of
the Administrations Farm Bill, H
r. 1891.
James III. Baxter, Jr., president
of the Delaware Farm B ur a u,
stated that this is just another
version of the Administration farm
bill, H.R.11222, which was rejected
by the House on June 21, 1862.
The bill provides for extension
of the present emergency" wheat
and feed grain programs through
1868. Baxter declared that this pro-
gram is both expensive and in
effective and should not be extend
ed. In addition, a milk control plan
whereby dairy1nen are paid $3.50
per hundred weight for the re-
duction they make under certain
conditions is included. The Farm
Bureau President declared that
this is but the opening wedge on
controls for dairy farmers and is
most Objectionable
Baxter added that, mot only is
this a bad bill, but if it passes in
the House it will be used in con-
ference, or in the Senate to sub
stitute the original Administration
feed grain, supply management
provision, as originally passed in
the Senate"
He concluded by saying that the
Delaware Farm Bureau Directors
believe this would be disastrous.

REDUCE DAIRY COsTs-Wft1

hEDG0E DAlh1 1VSIS-N III II
the average farm price of milk de-
clining moderately each year,
dairymen must find ways to cut
costs if they want ITO make a pro-
fit, according to George X. Vapaa,
Kent county agent. Most of the
cost cutting ideas fall into one of
three basic categories, he points
out.
The first of these is Improvement
of production by each COW. With
a herd of about fifty COWS, you can
expect an increase of 1000 pounds
of production per year per cow to
cause reduction of 40 cents per
hundred pounds in cost.
A second method of cutting costs
is through larger herds, Vapaa
points out Research work ha
shown that the advantage of cost
reduction Through larger herds will
make more money, but not because
of reduced costs.
A third way of lowering unit
costs is the use of machinery in
stead of labor. A large farm bui-
ness can make efficient use of
balers, gutter cleaners, and b u Tx
milk tanks, all of which save labor
and expense, the agent adds.

Some men of Concord in old Massa-

Minute Men because it took them
just 60 seconds to come to the de-

In the years since, the Minute

stay free. Other symbols of that
determination are Savings Bonds.
When you buy a Bond today you
do more than invest money for your

America strong and free right now
because the same dollars you save
