OF
MILK IN COUNTY
Average of GIG Pounds of
Milk From 21S Cows With
25.5 Average Butterfat
PLAN FEEDING PROGRAM

Official milk and butterfat pro-
duction records from 218 cows are
included in the October report of
the Kent County Herd Improve
ment Association which has been
mailed from the office of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson to the
members of the association. OF
these 218 cows there were SO which
averaged over 800 pounds of milk,
and 27 cows which produced on the
average over 40 pounds of butter
fat. The average milk production
for all the cows in these herds was
GIG pounds, as compared to an av-
erage of 25.5 pounds of butterfat,
which is slightly lower than that
for September. Dairymen who are
members of this herd improvement
association are of the opinion that
these milk and butterfat produc-
ton records are valuable inforna-
tion in determining which cows in
the herd are profitable, and those
which should be removed from the
herd before they consume too
much feed for which no profit is
returned to the owner. In addition
to these production records, the
members of this association obtain
also important data in regard to
feed costs and the amount of profit
received for each dollar expanded
for feed One of the projects to
be included in the 1941 program of
extension work in Kent county
with reference to dairy improve
ment viii be a program regarding
the greater use of homegrown
feeds in the dairy ration for more
economic milk production. This
program will be conducted under
the direction of the county agent
and Kenneth w. Baker, farm man
agement specialist of the extension
service of the University of Della
ware, in cooperation with a coun
ty committee of dairy farmers. A
meeting of this committee will bt
held early in December to discus:
plans for placing this dairy anC
livestock feeding and management
program into operation in Ken
county, and it is expected that {
large number of farmers will be
come associated with this livestock
development program. Milk ant
butterfat records which are beins
obtained through the Kent County
Herd Improvement Association
very clearly indicated that more
attention should be given to feed.

Peace and Freedom
On this Thanksgiving d;

On this Thanksgiving Day,
we, the people of this COM
munity, should be both hum
BILE and proud that life for us
means peace and freedom, and
that life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness are precious
possessions for all of US. The
American people will realize
these things in this year of
1910 more poignantly perhaps
than ever before - and be
grateful. Only by our deep
appreciation and gratitude
will these things last, for as
soon as we become self-com-

U. 5. Ships Radio
Silenced by Morse
Before Invasion
Trondheim Experiences
Related by Operator
Visiting Brother Here

-Four days before German troops
landed In Norway, the radio room of
the American freighter Mormacsea
was sealed by the Norwegian goy-
eminent as the ship neared Trond-
helm, although the room had been
left IN operation for more than
month while the freighter lay in
port at Bergen.
This was revealed today by the
Mormacsea's radio operator, Joseph
Tomaskovic, 80, who came to Wash
tngton to visit his brother after the
freighter docked in New York last
week.
I'VE were moving slowly into the
1rondheim Fjord about midnight
April 5 when Norwegian gunboat
pulled alongside" the radioman re-
called. Some officers came aboard
and Immediately sealed the radio
room. They left without giving an
explanation"
Mr.. Tomaskovic said he thought
the move strange because the
freighter had just left Bergen,
where 1t had remained docked for
33 days without anything being said
about our radio equipment
Witnessed Nazi Landing.
The radio officer witnessed the
landing of the German troops in
Trondheim April Gan event de-
scribed in graphic detail by the
Mormacsea's captain, William Nc
Hale, when the freighter returned
safely to Americas shores.
Among the first troops to disem-
bark was communications officer
who set up telegraphic equipment
on the dock, Mr. Tomaskovic said.
He was within 40 feet of my port
hole" the radioman recalled. II
could watch him working the key.
1t didn't do me any good, however,
because he only sent numbers-un-
doubtedly code"
Another interesting recollection
Of Mr.. Tomaskovic also involved
code messages. The Mormacsea
sailed for the nearby port of HON.
melvik the afternoon after the Nazi
invasion of Trondheim, and as the
freighter pulled away from the dock
at Hommelvik five days later to
head for America, Mr.. Tomaskovic
broke the seal on the radio room.
Picked Up Messages.
'The radio was pretty dead" he
recalled, "but did pick up station
a few miles from Trondheim, which
apparently had not yet been taken
over by the Germans. For hours
picked up messages the station was
sending to England and could pick
up the replies-but they, too, were
all in code numbers. I couldn't
make out a thing"
Mr.. Tomaskovic said the station
still was communicating with Britain
when the Mormacsea passed out of
range. Reports out of Norway fol-
lowing the Nazi invasion said one
Of the first moves of the Germans
was to take over all communica-
tion facilities around Trondheim.
But as far as Mr.. Tomaskovic is
concerned. they overlooked one"
Mr.. Tomaskovic said he plans to
remain in Washington for several
days. His brother is John Tomas
kovic, an employe of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, who lives at 2l7
Twentieth street NE.
The radioman, who has been on
duty aboard various ships for nearly
10 years, said the Mormacsea was
sold to Brazilian shipping Arm a
few days ago.. 1t was owned by the
Moore Mccormack American Scan
tic Line.
