CATTLE SHOW
TO BE FEATURE

What are you going to have at
the Wilmington Fair this year7"
This question was asked County
Agent Vaughn by one of the George
town farm bureau members a few
days ago. We'll" explained Vaughn.
I'VE have several projects that I'm
very proud OF, and ] want to exhibit
them to show Just what is being done
by the county agent in Sussex
county"
You are going 70 have soy beans,
aren't you?" the GEORGETOWN citizen
asked. oh, yesi' he was answered
quickly, "that is one OF my projects.
You remember that field Of soy
beans you inoculated-well, my
neighbor tells me that those you did
not treat with that soil and glue wa
ter are not going to get high enough
10 cut. while those you inoculated
are fine, almost waist high now. II
win be worth a trip to the fair to
see this demonstrated"
Il am also going TO show" said
Mr.. Vaughn, Several stalks OF corn
that are affected with root rot dis
ease. which we planted from dis
seased seed corn, along with some
healthy stalks planted from selected
seed. You know we have three DEM
onstrations in Sussex this year to
show the effects OF good selected
seed corn"
I'VE have quite number OF
Hubam Glover (the annual white
blooming sweet clover) demonstra-
tions, together with Japan clover in
the coanty that 1 want to exhibit.
That Japan clover is going to revoiu-
tionize the permanent pastures, as
It is certainly doing fine this year"
Are you going to show any OF
those sweet potatoes you got from
Virginia." he was asked again. yes.
we have some splendid results from
those seed. and ] think / win show
few hills from selected seed, along
with some hills from non-selected
seed. That will attract every potato
growers attention, I am sure"
Then. too" Mr.. Vaughn contin-
ued. Tn going TO show what we did
last month with our poultry culling
project. we have quite a number
of poultrymen who are keeping rec
ord and It will be nice to have their
record books on exhibition"
Miss Emerson, the club agent. is
going TO have a better exhibit than
she had at the Harrington Fair. so
