BROODER PLANS SHOW

Plans for the construction of 8
sturdy, long-lasting brooder house
designed for bird comfort and

c. Skoglund and A. E. Tomhave.
Professor Tomhave. acting head
Of the University of Delaware ami
NAL and poultry industry depart
ment, and Skoglund, the Univer-
sity's assistant research poultry
man, worked out a four-page, MINI
eographed set of plans and specifi-
cations for the brooder house. The
IL by 12-foOt brooder house is large
enough to brood 500 chicks, but
Tomhave and Skoglund emphasize
that only from 300 to $50 chicks
should be brooded in one of these
houses at any one time. The house
is built on two, four by six-inch
skids placed two feet in from each
side of the building.
Properly constructed brooder
houses provide a uniform tempera-
ture, since ventilating facilities
prevent drafts. Best health of birds,
especially young birds, is realized
when brooding pens are clean and
dry. And a good brooder house
gives chicks. constant protection
from the weather and from rodent
attacks.

Farmers To Vote On
Corn Marketing Plan
toonLInued from PIrsL raael

This year Kent county was des-
ignated as a corn allotment county,
and notices have been mailed from
the office of the Kent County Ag-
ricultural Conservation Associa-
tion indicating the corn acreage al
lotment for each farm. If the 1941
corn allotment is 10 acres or less,
the farm will be considered as a
non-allotment farm, provided the
acreage planted to corn does not
exceed this acreage. If the 1941
allotment is in excess of 10 acres,
the farm may be designated as a
non-aIlotment-corn farm If the pro-
ducer decides to not accept this
allotment and agress to not plant
more than the usual corn acreage
this year.
Under this plan no corn payment
will be made in connection with the
Agricultural Conservation or Par
ity Payment programs, and the
corn produced will not be eligible
for a corn loan, but these farms
will be subject to marketing quotas
if corn growers should indicate in
this referendum vote their desire
to have this feature added to the
agricultural conservation program.
A deduction Of fifty cents bushel
of the farm yield will be made for
each acre of corn planted in ex-
cess of the usual acreage, and this
penalty will be deducted from any
benefit payments which otherwise
might be earned by soil building
practices during the coming year.
The 1941 corn carry-over supply
is expected to be the largest on
record, and about four times the
size Of the average carry-over sup
plies before the Ever-Normal Gran
AIRY plan was started in this cOun-
try. The total supply of corn for
the 1941-1942 marketing year,
very likely will exceed
the corn marketing quota level by
a considerable amount, unless the
1941 corn crop is materially less
than it was last year. Considering |
these facts, if corn growers should
vote to make marketing quotas ef-
fective, they will have an opportun-
ity to avoid excessive supplies on
the market at low prices.

ing the severed streets which still
had the insanitary privy. This lat.
ter problem is the problem of the
city council to see that the people
take advantage of the sewerage
system which has been installed
for years. 1t is a long drawn-out
job, but il is certainly one which
has not been very seriously at
tackled. The elimination of these
nuisances is the big problem OF
sanitation in Milford"
Mr. Beckett next explained the
chart first mentioned. This graphi-
cally portrayed Newark as the first
town of the state in regards to san
itary conditions. 1t has approx
mately only is per cent of it's
homes not connected with the sew
er system. Harrington which has
only had a sewer system since
1885 is all connected but 1870, Lau-
rel all but 20To, Dover all but 229o,
Seaford all but 309o and Milford is
only about 500 connected with
4095 not connected to the avail
able system.
1t follows naturally that the more
open privies there are the greater
is the danger Of epidemics and dis
ease. Mr.. Beckett stated that Mil
ford had been very fortunate not
to have had a serious outbreak of
typhoid fever or some such
scourge.
To make Milfordians feel little
better, however, on another phase
of sanitation, Mr.. Beckett said,
"The consumption of milk in Mil
ford is about 509o pasteurized and
50% raw. Quite few of the towns
have a consumption of pasteurized
milk ranging from 500 to almost
1000, of which, of course is the
proportion the state board of health
would like to see. The milk supply,
both pasteurized and raw, being
delivered into Milforid meets the
state board of health requirements
and has for years.
"The water supply of Milford is
satisfactory with only a small
amount Of iron and fairly low coz
content"
Every Kiwanian present when
questioned stated that he had no
idea that conditions were so bad
in their city. All hoped that the
problem could have some action by
council soon.
Mr.. Beckett closed his talk,
Summing up the main problems in
Milford, as shown to be the case
also in other cities listed on the
chart, is to keep pegging away at
the problem of making connections
to the sewer and to finally remove
these insanitaly structures to the
point where Milford can compare
with such towns as Bellefonte and
Elsmere which have nearly 100%
connection to their public sewer
age systems"

Rev. Tocik To Preach
At Catholic Mission
Continued from First psss)

For d number Of reasons, it has
always been the wish and practice
OF the Catholic Church throughout

series Of religious exercises con-
sisting chiefly of daily mass and
communion, instructions, and SER
mons. For the members of the par

retreats. He was a recent visitor

Congress in Budapest and is thus
well acquainted with the life and
progress OF the church in many
parts OF the world. AS a conse-
quence Of his extensive studies and
postgraduate work at the Catho-
lie University at Washington, ID.
C., he is well-versed in many for
eign languages, and his work as an
exponent of Catholic doctrine has
met with tremendous success. Dur
ing the week Of the mission Father

ish clergy.
