FIRST
DAIRY LETTERS
State Dairy Farmers Check
Over First i'm Series of Six
Illustrated Letters
AID TO DAIRY FARMERS

Many Delaware dairymen are
now checking over the first in a
series of six illustrated letters
which make up the Delaware Dairy
Feeding and Homegrown Feed
Production Program. The subject
of this first letter is Winter Feed
ing of the Dairy Herd. The letter
is being supplied by Delaware
county agricultural agents to
farmers who have requested the
series. The winter herd feeding
letter was prepared by K. w. Bak-
er, farm management specialist for
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. Baker writes that
high quality hay is the most i'm
portant single feed in the dairy ra-
ton and that high quality hay is
the secret of economical feeding.
He rates alfalfa as the first hay
choice, followed by red clover or
clover mixed with grasses, soy
beans, 1espedeza, and even timothy
II the crop IS cut just as the TIM
othy comes in head. Baker also
says that quality of the hay being
fed dairy animals is just as import
ant as the kind of hay. An attrac-
tive paper cover went to dairymen
with the first letter. The cover is
designed to conveniently hold all
six of the letters in the series.
Other letters in the dairy series
will cover important farm opera
lions and will reach dairymen just
before the work discussed is &C.
tually being done by farmers. Bak-
er has had the assistance of several
darymen and the States county
agricultural agents in establishing
and carrying out the Delaware
Dairy Feeding and Homegrown
Feed Production Program. Farm
ers desiring the Dairy Farm Man.

KENT
IN CORN AREA
Kent and Sussex Counties In
Guided i'm the Nations Com
mercial Corn Area
ALLOTMENTS OPTIONAL

With a total corn allotment of
46,158 acres, Kent and New Castle
Counties have been included in the
nations commercial corn area as
specified in the new Agricultural
Adjustment Administration farm
program. John L. Holloway, ST.,
member Of the State AAA COM
mittee, says that the placing Of
Kent and New Castle Counties in
the 1871 commercial corn area af-
fects the application of the AAA
program to farms in these coun-
ties. Designation to the two Della
ware counties as commercial corn
counties means that a corn acreage
allotment will be determined for
each farm normally producing
corn, that such farms VIII be eligi-
BILE for corn conservation payments
of nine cents a bushel on the nor
NAL yield of the allotment and for
parity payments as authorized by
the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1888; and that corn loans will
be available at the full commercial
rate established under the terms of
the Act Rate of parity for corn
in 1871 will be determined later.
Parity Payment Was Cents
In 1910, the parity payment was
five cents a bushel on the normal
yield of the allotment The loan
rate on corn in 1910 was 81 cents
a bushel in the commercial area.
Until this year, all commercial corn
counties have been in the Middle
West. But "a additional counties
two in Delaware, IL in Maryland
and IL in Pennsylvania have now
been included in the 1941 CONNER
cial corn area on the basis of in
formation covering their corn pro-
duction which was not previously
available The information reveals
that these counties meet the speci-
fications for commercial corn coun-
ties as set forth in the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1888 Certain
farmers of Kent and New Castle
Counties may choose to use a nom
allotment provision of the 1941
program under which they may
