effective their advertising and pub
licity has been in attracting tourists.
New literature to replace the or
iginal master booklet issued by the
association, which has been distri-
buted to the extent of more than
10000 copies, was discussed. 1t is
tentatively proposed that the new
booklet be made up principally of
aerial views of all communities and
districts in Del-Mar-Va with each
view bearing on the reverse side de-
scriptive matter which will present
the attractive features to be offered
by the individual community or Sec
ton.
Departmental reports show the as
sociation to be in sound financial
condition and with the departments
working effectively. The activities of
the marketing department are show

COUNTY AGENT SNYDER
ADVISES ALFALFA PLANTING

Alfalfa is a warm weather plant
and should not be seeded either too
early or too late. Spring seeding
and summer seeding is advised. In
Sussex county summer seeding is
more certain. A satisfactory stand
is more certain when the seeding is
made on a soil that is warm to pro-
duce prompt termination and rapid
growth. From August 10th to Au-
gust goth seems to be the best seed
ing date for this locality. Weather
ing factor, and it is wise to seed
when the soil is in a proper condi-
tion relative to moisture, tempera-
ture and physical condition. Uni
form seeding is essential. The seed
should be covered from one-half to
one and half inches deep, the lat
ter depending upon the character of
the soil and presence of moisture.
The manner of seeding will be de-
termined by local conditions and
available machinery.
Summer seeding should be made
without a nurse crop, whereas
spring seeding should be done with
a nurse crop such as oats.
The best rate of seeding is be-
tween Is and 20 pounds to the acre.
On soils that are weed-free, well
prepared and thoroughly inoculated,
Is pounds to the acre is sufficient.
On average soils with average pre-
the 20-lb. rate is the best.

HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
NECESSARY In AUGUST

high volume of germs when it is left
in halls and steps, sometimes in the
sun, he urges that more care be TAX
en-. The city boards of health, usual
ly have an inspection of the milk
up to the time of its delivery, but
its after that time, when it is the
property of the home, that the dan
ger arises. He says:
milk which has been delivered in
very good condition, and then left
standing for hours, rapidly loses its
properties as a healthy food. The
very great rise in the death rate
from diarrhea often occurring dur
ing August is quite frequently
brought about in this way" In this
connection he urges the greatest
care not only of the milk but of the
utensils used in handling it. Sour
milk, he states is not always safe to
drink. Referring to the left over
foods, he says:
zone sympathizes with the house
wife in making use of left overs or
who patrOnizes places where ready
cooked foods are to be obtained. 1t
is almost impossible to use too great
care in the selection of such places
or of the selection of foods ordered
at eating places unknown to those
who frequent them.
Referring to the danger from ty-
phoid fever, DR.. Jost speaks of the
danger of drinking water that may
be contaminated. He said:
Typhoid fever is typically a dis
ease of the late summer and fall. 1t
always means the presence of a con-
taminated water supply, and it's pre-
veption can be brought about in a
majority of cases by strict attention
to the necessity of assuring ones
self that any water used as a bev-
erage is safe. The water of a SWIM
ming pool should be as safe from
pollution as water intended to be
drunk, since it is not possible to
bathe or swim in infected water
without eventually absorbing it Ell
ther from the body, in the mouth or
actually swallowing it in swimming
and diving. One should take a bath
both before and after a swim in a
swimming pool. Before in order to |
remove any infection from his body |
that might infect others, and after
wards to remove from his body any
he may have absorbed from others
less careful"

SENDS OUT LETTER
EXPLAINING ALFALFA SEEDING

AS one of the phases of the alfalfa
campaign in Kent county this year
copies of a mimeographed letter
were mailed last week from the Of
flee of County Agent Russell E. Will
son to all the farmers calling their
attention to the seven essential
points which should be regarded in
the seeding of alfalfa in this section
of the country.
In this letter, which incorporated
these facts as the seven keys to more
and better alfalfa, the importance of
good soil has been given first con-
sideration, as this crop requires u
soil that is in a fairly high state of
fertility. The right strain of seed is
of equal importance, and those far
mers who are expecting to plant al
falfa this summer should use the
northwestern-grown seed which is
the kind that has proven to be the
most satisfactory in this country. If
alfalfa is to be sown on land for the
first time the seed should be prop
erly inoculated with either the pure
culture or the soil and glue method,
as many crop failures have been Oh
rectly attributed to the lack of seed
incubation.
In the preparation of the seed bed
care should be taken to establish
firm soil, and unless the land has
been lined within the past year it is
advisable to apply about 1000 pounds
of hydrated lime to the acre just
previous to seeding, since alfalfa
will not grow and produce a good
crop on sour land.
When sowing alfalfa on certain
types of soil that may be lacking
somewhat in fertility it is often nee
essary to apply about $50 pounds of
an C-12-5 commercial fertilizer to
the acre at seeding time, and top
dressing of 100 pounds of either sui
phate of ammonia or calcium nj
trate in the early spring is also ad-
visable on some fields.
The recommended date for sowing
alfalfa in this county is from August
Is to 25, and the usual rate of seed
continued period of dry weather in
many sections of the county, how
ever, will make it difficult for many
farmers to prepare their seed beds,
and it may be necessary that this
crop be seeded at a later date this
year. During the past two years ap-
proximately $500 acres of alfalfa
have been planted in Kent county,
that the campaign has met
with success, and also that more
farmers each year are endeavoring
to raise more and better hay for
their livestock.
