HOST TO % HARES LOOKS
AHEAD A BIT

Isaac Jester. farmer of Milford
Neck. may have a problem on his
hands in the spring, if the 25 rab-
bits he has supplied with food this
winter stick around.
AS other farmers have done in
the recent cold wave, Mr. Jester
scattered food in his backyard. and
for the last two weeks 25 wild rab-
bits have become so tame they al
most eat out OF their henefactOr's s
hands. Cabbage leaves, gathered by
the farmer from Milford stores. con
stitute the daily menu.
What is worrying Mr.. Jester. how
ever. is whether the 25 rabbits, plus
number of children from the Eas-
ter bunny crop. will call on him when
the snow is gone and when his vege-
tables begin to sprout in the spring
Local rabbit fanciers remind him

REVISE CALENDAR
FOR PEST CONTROL
toOnunued from FiTst Pagel

About the new calendar. printed
on durable paper and officially known
as Information Card No. As. Dr.
Stearns remarks. Even though not
all growers have apples, grapes. and
peaches. there are several who do
produce a variety of fruits. The new
card gives these growers a COM
plete set of directions that won't
be so easy TO misplace as the sep
arate cards. Then. too, the calendar
is arranged so that the program for
each fruit can be cut on if desired.
Control directions are the latest rec
commended practices for Delaware"
While DIR. Stearns' efforts are di-
rected toward better bug control,
Drs Manns and Kadow are concern
ed with helping Delaware growers
keep down attacks of fruit diseases
so often harmful TO trees and fruit
if plants are not protected properly.
Growers desiring the fruit pest
control programs may obtain them
from county agents or by writing
