KENT FARMERS LEARN
ABOUT SWEET CLOVER
CONTINUED from first pagel


two outstanding factors in the sue
cessful culture of this crop. He is
also the owner of a herd of pure
bred HOlstein cattle, and his fields
of sweet clover provide excellent
pasture for his dairy cows each
season. During the past season, he
stated that twenty-fOur head of
dairy cattle were kept on eight
acres of this clover, and that his
COWS gave a high production Of
milk throughout the entire summer
on this pasture.
Prof. George L. Schuster, Agro-
nomist of the Delaware Agricultur-
al Experiment Station, spoke on the
chief factors to be considered in Tie
general cultural practices in grow
ing this clover, and also stressed
the importance of using the white
variety in this part of the country.
He also presented some interesting
figures pertaining to the quantity
of nitrogen per acre added to the
soil by the sweet clover plant. On
land that has been lined, and where
the seed has been properly inocu-
lated, the entire plant Will deposit
153 pounds of nitrogen to the acre,
while the roots alone will sdd SS
pounds of nitrogen. In the case of
seed incubation only, the amount
of nitrogen deposited by the entire
plant is reduced to 96 pounds per
acre, and the quantity producer by
the roots alone amounts to but 81
pounds.
As a direct comparison of lime
and seed incubation to no treat
ment whatever, it has been found
that sweet clover under such ad-
verse conditions will add but ~
pounds of nitrogen to the land, and
only Is pounds will be deposited in
the soil by the roots. These facts
are well worth considering when
sweet clover is being sOwn for land
improvement purposes in addition
to it's use for pasture and hay.
The value Of sweet clover on the
dairy farm was discussed by DIR
ectOr c. A. McCue of the University
of Delaware, who also brought out
the great need of sufficient and pro-
fitable hay crops on the average
Delaware farm where livestock is
being raised. There is no douDt
that this clover will fill this demand
capable of doing in this particular
section, and for this reason, 1t IS
rapidly coming into prominence as
one of the principal pasture and hay
crops through the entire country.
Farmers in other states are real
izing the value of this variety OF
clover for their livestock, as well
as for soil improvement purposes,
according to reports that have been
received from the various agricul-
tural experiment stations through
out. the United States and during
the past year there has been an in
creasing interest in this crop among
the farmers in Kent County and
throughout the state as a whole.

alongside the Buckaloo boat and
jumped aboard together with a New
Jersey trooper in uniform and arm
ed with a gun. According TO Bucka-
loo's statement, the officer with the
gun ordered Buckaloo TO surrender
and come with him in his boat.
On asking the New Jersey officers
as to their authority, the officer
pointed to the insignia on the arm of
his coat and also to the insignia on
his cap, which Captain Buckaloo re-
fused to recognize and ordered the
men from his boat. They then with
drew.
CAPTAIN Buckaloo states that the
attitude of the New Jersey authori-
ties is nothing less than an act of
piracy on the high seas and expects
to make complaint to the U. S. au-
thorities relative to methods used
against Delaware oystermen.
Captain Buckaloo also states he
has been threatened with arrest
should he land on Jersey soil, where
he is compelled to go to sell his oys-
ters.
There were several other boats at
work at the same time Captain
Buckaloo was working last week,
but they were not disturbed.
Attorney General Southerland
thinks that the situation can be
cleared up without further trouble.

SHORE ASSOCIATION
WILL ASSIST FARMERS

battled farmer. Agriculture in every
section of the nation is demanding
recognition. For decades the farmer
has taken things for granted. Now
he wants to know. He refuses to be-
lieve that nothing can be done to in
crease the farmers portion of the
price the consumer pays for the pro-
ducts the farmer raises. The Eastern
Shore farmer particularly is insis-
tent in his desire to secure informa-
ton concerning all the factors af-
fecting distribution and prices. He
wants to know when he should ship
to Baltimore and why; when he
should ship to Philadelphia or Nor
folk and why; when he should ship
to New York and why.
THE agricultural products the
Eastern Shore produces have no pol
itics, but neither do they have the
economic status to which they are
entitled. Many Eastern Shore agri-
culturists are convinced that lack of
comprehensive information and lack
of cooperation have operated to pre-
vent them from obtaining the prices
to which their labor and their in
vestments entitle them. The Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association is
therefore making one comprehensive
study for the benefit of everybody.
When it has obtained its facts, the
association plans to make them
known. The Eastern Shore is not
bound in its economics by either
ancient business traditions or pres
ent political alliances. 1t wants to do
business with the cities that offer it
the best business opportunities.
In the past the agriculturist has
been the one party asked to show
goods. The Eastern Shore is simply
doubling up on that arrangement. It
expects to show its products be-
cause they will bear inspection. But
it also expects Norfolk, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Wilmington, New York
and the various other rail centers
and seapOrts to show the facilities
which entities them to consideration
as distribution centers.
"In addition, of course, the asscia-
ton plans to promote the industrial
development of the Eastern Shore
and to so present its advantages
that more people will be brought
here to till its fertile lands"

START FIGHT TO
COMBAT RAVAGES
OF COOLING MOTH
continued from hrst pagel

Coverdale, near Dover; o. d. Loose,
near Cheswold; and Ed. Todd, near
Viola Several hundred codling moth
larvae were collected this spring
from baskets used in the orchards
during the previous harvest seasons
and placed in the pupation sticks in
these wire cages where the life his
tory Of the first brood may be COM
pleted and the adult moth emergence
dates easily observed.
In addition to these six small
cages, DR.. Dozier and County Agent
Wilson secured the cooperation of
four commercial fruit growers to
construct large screened cages II
feet square around a bearing apple
tree in each of these four orchards
this spring. The object in enclosing
the entire tree in each case is to
study the complete life history of
each of the other two broods of the
codling moth in these confined areas
with a view to advising the growers
concerning the emergence of the
second and third generation of
adult moths.
These large screened cages have
been built in the orchards of ]. Leo
nard Soper, near Magnolia; S. H.
Derby, near Woodside; f. c. Ban
croft, near Camden, and S. H. Baker,
west of Magnolia. All of these cages
have been infested by placing in
them several baskets which are
heavily infested with the codling
moth larvae, and from which the
adult moths will emerge and at
tack the apples in these screened
areas. Three different late varieties
of apple trees are being used. for
these observations in the large en-
closures, the Stayman variety being
enclosed in the Soper and Bancroft
orchards, the Paragon variety in the
Derby orchard, and the Nero variety
in the Baker orchard.
Although the codling moth has not
as yet become as severe a pest in
Sussex county as it is in Kent coun-
ty at the present time, small obser-
vation cages have been placed in
two or three of the apple orchards in
the southern part of the state in or
der to compare the dates of emer-
gence of the adult moths in the var
ious fruit districts throughout these
two counties.
The orchardists in Kent county
will receive notices from the office
of County Agent Russell E. Wilson
again this year advising them of the
results obtained from these several
codling moth observation cages, and
it is hoped that sufficient information
will be secured this coming season
to enable the growers to fight the
codling moth with more effective ef-
forts than has been accorded their
spraying program in previous years
