Accelerate
Drainage
Program
In Kent

An intensive and accelerated
soil conservation drainage pro-
gram for Kent County was an
nounced by c. Arthur Taylor,
Chairman Soil Conservation
District at the groups Septem-
ber meeting.
Most significant of the activ-
tiles reported was the beginning
of construction on the 5000 acre
Beaver Dam Tax Ditch located
in southern Kent and northern
Sussex Counties. This tax ditch,
which is being constructed
jointly by the Kent and Sussex
County Soil Conservation Dis
tricts, has 80 miles of drainage
outlets and will require nearly
three years to complete. 1t is
a part of the huge Upper Nam
ticoke River Watershed Pro-
Ject. Such watershed projects
provide drainage outlets for
farms suffering from drainage
and soil problems. Elimination
of these problems provides
more efficient and diversified
cropping and provides a founda-
tion for developing complete
soil and water conservation
porgrams on these farms.
Leroy Pepper, Equipment
Manager, reported the purchase
of TWO new heavy duty drag
lines. This additional equipment
will help the District carry out
the increased demand for soil
and water conservation work in
Kent County.
Construction of the 4000acr
White Marsh Tax Ditch was re-
ported on schedule. This ditch,
also part of the Upper Nam
ticoke Watershed Project, has
l8 miles of drainage outlets.
1t is located just south of Far
mington and is being con-
structed jointly by the Kent
and Sussex Soil Conservation
Districts.
Taylor reported the EastDo-
yer Hundred Tax Ditch near
Dover was completed within
2% of estimates. This ditch
benefits both farm and urban
lands and the Maple Dale Coun--
~ y CluD.
1t was announced that Duncan
Fleming would replace Mrs.
Vim. Lankford, who recently
resigned, as District Clerk.
George Wheeler Soif Con-
servation Service Work Plan
Party Leader, reported pro-
gress is being made on work
plans for the Marsh Hope and |
Upper Choptank Watersheds.
These projects, similar to the
Nanticoke Watershed, should e.
ventually eliminate the most
serious agricultural drainage
outlet problems in the Kent
County Soil Conservation Dis
trict.
Fred Mott, in charge of the
Soil Conservation Service as
sisting the Kent County Soil
Conservation District, reported |
that there are So farmers plan
ming to use the assistance of |
the District between now and |
December 81 for the construc-
tion of drainage bitches, tile
drains, farm ponds, and Wild
life development.
The following farmers became
cooperators of the District this
month and will begin developing
complete soil and water conser-
walton programs on their farms:
John Downes, Marydel; Presley
Moore, Smyrna; Frank DelVec-
chic, Glendale, and Raymond
Baker, Greenwood.
The Soil Conservation Dis
trict of Kent County is being
honored this year as the out
standing District in the Della
ware-New Jersey area. Chair
man Taylor and Outstanding
Soil Conservation Farmer,
Russell Bowdle of Harrington,
will receive an all expense trip
to Arizona in December.

Decrease
In Cropland

Delaware has experienced
tremendous changes in its pat
tern of land use since the end
of World War II. Land devoted
to the production of crops has
decreased almost $4,000 acres
while housing developments,
highways and parks have spread
over an equal area. Gerald F
Vaughn, u. S. Department of
Agriculture economist at the
University of Delaware, cites
statistics from agricultural
census and land use studies
that show a decrease in the
States cropland from SOL 900
acres in l945 to 1000 acres
in 1889. During the same per-
iod, pasture and grazing land
decreased from 100000 acres
to $4,000 acres; land in farm
steads, farm roads and farm
lanes from $4,000 acres to
10000 acres; and forests and
woodland from $4,000 acres
to 1872, 1000 acres.
During this period Vaughn
notes an increase in land de-
voted to cities and densely pop
ulated unincorporated areas
from $4,000 acres to $1,000
acres--almost a threefold in
crease. Land used for high
ways, railroads, and airports
increased from $4,000 acres
to $4,000 acres. and land used
for rural parks increased from
practically nothing TO more than
1000 acres.
Marshland, sand dunes, other
unused land, and miscellaneous
land uses accounted for the big
gest acreage increase, jumping
from $4,000 acres in l945
to almost 209, 900 acres in 1889.
Wildlife management, national
defense and state owned insti-
tutions accounted for another
5000 acre increase from 38,
600 at the close of World War
II to 43, ZOO in 1859.
Vaughn believes these shifts
in land use can be accounted
for in two ways--technological
advances that have permitted

BlackistOn To Hold
Annual Homecoming

The annual anniversary SER
vice will be held at Blackiston
Methodist Church this Sunday,
September 10 at 2:30 pm.
The speaker will be the Rev.
William Hemphill, Jr., pastor
of Wesley Methodist Church,
Dover. Special musical selec-
tions will be rendered by Miss
Betty Jane Griffin and the Men
nonite Singers.
Blackiston Chapel was e.
rected in 1887, the land being
given by Benjamin Blackiston,
and is located about two and one
half miles from the crossroads
of the same name. The old
church was forty by sixty feet,
and was erected from designs
furnished by Bishop Asbury.
1t was for a number of years
the largest in size on the Pen
insula, exceeding Barratt's
Chapel. The original trustees
were Benjamin Blackiston, A
braham Parsons, Luke Howard,
Richard Lockwood, William
Kirkley, James Hall, Thomas
Wilde. James Stephenson, and
Richard Shaw. The Methodists
in the region, which was then
a forest, held meetings on the
farm of Benjamine Hazel be-
fore the church was erected.
The old church was moved a.
way in l847, and the present
building was erected in its
place. 1t is much smaller than
the original church, being twen-
ty-five by thirty feet, and val
ued at fifteen hundred dollars.
In the old graveyard there is
buried Rev. John Assay, an ell
der in the church, who died
September IL, 1855; the early
Hurlocks, and a number of the
Stevens family, all old settlers.
Some of the ministers of the
church have been, John Hum

A letter was read at the
meeting of Smyrna Town Coun-
Gil last week from U. S. SEN
ator ]. Caleb Boggs, enclosing
copy of a letter he had re-
ceived from the regional di-
rector of the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare
in New York, advising him that
the old Post Office would be
turned over to the Smyrna Spe-
cial School District after the
new post office is occupied.
A delegation from the Da-
vid c. Harrison Post No. Ia,
American Legion, was present
in reference to water and sewer
connection at the site of the new
post home. The decision by
council was that the post pay
for material costs on services
ALREADY installed on GlenWood

The decision was made for
councilmen to visit sites in
other towns and check into
costs of sanitary landfills where
handled by the town or put
out for bids. A further study
will be made of the operation.
The low bid of $1044.50 sub

Lions Told
of Effort
to Attract


A brief history of the in
dustrial effort in the Smyrna
Clayton area was presented by
John E. Wilson, Jr., a member
of the Delaware Industrial Bull
ding Commission, at the dinner
meeting of the Smyrna Lions
Club Monday night. He had been
asked in July, 1889 to act as
a consultant to the Smyrna
Clayton Business Association in
their effort to secure industry.
'This date marked the start
of interesting and historic years
in the community as well as
the State of Delaware, he said.
He emphasized that the hard
work and determination of the
Smyrna-Clayton community to
better their economy resulted
in passage of legislation author
izing the Delaware Industrial
Building Commission to issue
bonds and pledging the credit
of the state. He acknowledged
the help of Governor Carvel.
He told of the static economy
that had existed in the commun-
ity for many years, emphasizing
the effect on the community of
the Leeds Travelwear, Inc.
plant in radius of twenty ymiles.
1t is expected that 800 people
will be employed there later.
The Smyrna-Calyton Indus
trial Development Corporation
was formed and owns title to
the land and the building, and
the title will revert in twenty
years to the Delaware State
Building Commission, he sta
ted.
The response was made by
William E. Jones, who arranged
the program.
William Minner presided at
the first fall meeting of the
Lions Club.

Announce
Plans For
NewBridge
at Odessa

Plans have been announced
by the State Highway Depart
ment for new alignment. and
the erection of a new bridge.
along the southbound lane of
Route l3, at Drawyer's Greek,
North of Odessa.
Bids on this project will be
received on Sept. 18th and the
specifications provide for its
completion in working days.
The project covers 0.69 miles.
The new alignment will start
on the hill north of the present
southbound bridge and continue
between the present north and
south bound lanes to the new
bridge, which will be located
between the present bridges.
The new bridge will be a
steel and concrete structure
and the approaches will have Is
three span concrete roadway
approach slabs supported by
concrete piles and concrete
pavement on the slabs.
The new alignment will e.
liminate some of the curves
that now exist along the south
bound lane as it approaced the
present bridge and the approach
slabs will reduce the downgrade
in the approach to the bridge.
William ]. Miller, Jr.. Di-
rector of Operations for the
Highway Department, informed
the members of the Department
at their meeting yesterday,
concerning the project and dis
played a drawing of the pro-
ject which displayed the i'm
provement in the alignment.
Joseph M. Fox, Bridge En-
gineer for the Highway De-
parment, under whose di-
rection the plans for the project
were prepared, said yesterday
the new alignment operations
did not include the removal of
the present bridge and that il

mitted to remain for use by
fishermen.
