SPEED LIMIT. ON TRUCKS

Growers and shippers of truck
and produce from the lower Del
Mar-Va Peninsula WHO are using
motor truck transportation to convey
their crops to the markets in Phila-
delphia, New Jersey and New York,
are decidedly wrought up over the
enforcement of tsafie regulations in
Delaware which demands a reduc-
ton in speed of all truck weighing
with head 5000 pounds or more, to
twenty-five miles per hour. instead
of thirty-five.
The Delaware State Highway
regulations have provided for this
speed limit for trucks reaching the
weight mentioned since 1921, but
THIS is the first season that enforce
ment has been seriously undertaken.
Chief Engineer c, D. Buck, of the
Delaware Stale Highway Depart
ment, explains the action as being
due entirely to the extreme heavy
truck traffic and the damage done to
highways by excessively heavy loada
moved at hfgh speed.

A. GOOD TIP

Now Is The time to buy purebred
livestock. A considerable volume of
purebred stock originally intended
for breeding purposes has been going
to the block because prices for pure.
breds in many instances have declined
practically to the level of those paid
for slaughter animals. There is need
for .purebred livestock on farms and
it does not seem right to slaughter
animals that could be used to improve
the quality of farm herds and flocks.
An exceptionally high producing
cow il worth many times the price of
slaughter animal. Not only does
such an individual produce more ac-
tual milk and butterfat, but the supe.
rior production characteristics of such
individuals may be passed on through
several succeeding generations.
The fact should not be overlooked
that purebred livestock is a real
necessity Without such stock, milk
and butterfat records and weights of
feeces will decline and uniformity of
type and quality will be sacrificed. No
improvement can be made without
them Now is the time to sell scrub
stock and buy purebreds while the
prices are Farmer.

EARLY GRAZING :
REDUCES MILK,
HURTS PASTURE

Experiments to determine the
value of pasture as source of dairy
feed have revealed some startling
facts-one of which is that dairy
men who permit cattle to Craze on
new spring grass are likely to lose
at least one-third OF the value of
the pasture for the entire year.
As long as men have kept dairy
cows, they have taken advantage OF
natures bounty in supplying fresh
green food every year. Consequent
ly. as pastures spring into life every
year, the farmers first thought is
that it is time to turn the cows out.
There is a double danger in this
time-honored practice, and a double
benefit from keeping dairy cows in
the barn on a full grain ration at
least month longer than the ap-
pearance Of spring pastures would
indicate was necessary.
Field grass is harder than most
farm crops, but it can't stand every
thing. If it is trampled on and
cropped close to the roots when the
first green blades are shooting up,
its growth is stunted and held back,
if not absolutely ruined for the rest
of the season. Thus the farmer who
turns his herd out too early is kill
ing a perfectly good crop before it
has gotten we'll under way.
This damage in itself is serious
,nough, but it does not represent
anywhere near SO great a loss as
comes from shrinking milk produc-
ton if cows are forced to rely on
grass for their nourishment at this
season of the year,
In most diaries, cows are thinner
than they should I've when turned
out on pasture. They have been in
winter quarters for months on
heavy production without a suffi-
cient amount of feed. They need
a larger ration instead Of smaller
one than they had in the barn.
If grass is substituted for grain
at this season of the year, it may
for time show stimulated milk
yield. but the cows are certain to
fall rapidly off within q short time,
and once they shrink in milk, It is
imn"ssis'e to get them back to their
8 former level of production in the
same lactation period.

FARM INTEREST IN RADIO

Radio is changing the marketing
methods of entire groups Of farmers,
according to survey made recently by
the national farm radio council, says
the Washington Post editorially.
The purpose of the survey was TO
determine just what radio means 10
farmers and also to find out the exact
time in the day or evening when farm
ers make the greatest use of their re-
ceiving sets.
Ninety-five per cent. of the FARMERS
who own radio sets think OF their
radios as utility as well as an
amusement device. 1t is utility De-
cause it brings to them market re-
ports from "a to 4S hours earlier than
they are obtainable in any other way,
This enables the farmer to market MS
produce to, the greatest advantage.
Weather reports often save him nun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of dollars.
The radio enables the farmer to
keep in touch with the leaders, to hear
their talks on matters of current i'm
portance to the agricultural industry,
The maximum farm audience over
the radio is between and $3.50 in the
evening. The size of the noon farm
radio audience is astonishing, reach>
ing a little more than so per cent. of
the farm radio owners In some States
this percentage reaches Is or more.
Orchestra or band music takes first
place in choice of amusement, eduea>
tional talks and weather reports TAX,
ing second place. Jazz is pretty gem
orally given last place on the list.
Without doubt, the radio on the
farms is powerful agency for broad
err education, and for closer union be-
tween the farm and the city. One of
the big problems of the day is how to
keep the young people contented on
the farms. The call is to the city;
and unless modern science and inven-
ton can meet the demand, and satisfy
the cravings of the boys and girls and
men and women on the farms. there
will be more abandoned farms than
ever,
