FEEDING SCHEDULES

Almost all infants, sick Or well.
should be fed at intervals OF four
hours. During the first month or
six weeks, six feelings are given
every "a hours. Thereafter and I'M
til the third or fourth month, five
feelings suffice and the night feed
ing may be eliminated. From the
fourth month, the feelings are re-
duced to four, and after the eighth
or tenth month, the struggle for
three square meals q day begins. In
addition to the formula, some VI
talnins d and G should DO added
by the second month. Cod-liver
oil or any OF the numerous sub
stitutes will provide the former, and
orange juice or tomato juice the
latter.
Between the fourth and fifth
months, semi-solid foods may be
added, at first In the form OF
cooked cereal In the morning, and
when this Is taken readily, 1t Is
repeated In the evening. Then one
Of the colored vegetables IN pureed
form Is given as part Of the mid day
feeding. These ore carbohydrate
foods, and as they are added, the
sugar Is gradually withdrawn from
the formula. At from seven TO
eight months, soft cooked eggs, ana
meat as soon thereafter as the baby
will tolerate 1t, make his diet COM
pike.
This simplicity contributes to
ease In preparation and avoids the
dietary problems that rigid specifi-
cations frequently engender.

EARTH TREMOR
FELT HERE
Rattles Windows and Doors,
Moves Pictures on Walls and
Causes General Alarm
ABERDEEN, NO COMMENT

A light earth tremor, the cause
of which is still unknown, shook
the entire state of Delaware and
sections of nearby Pennsylvania
and Maryland Sunday night shortly
after 6 o'clock. The seismograph
at the Franklin Institute register
ed an almost imperceptible" shock
at 6:07 o'clock but whether it was
caused by an explosion, nearby
Army maneuvers, or an earth
quake, officials refused to say. The
shock which ratified windows and
doors severely in this area brought
a sense of excitement to residents
in this area. A check of defense
plants and Army posts failed to re-
veal the cause of the shock. At
Elkton, Md, residents reported
windows and doors ratified but the
Triumph Explosives Corporation
said no explosions occurred there.
Officials at the Aberdeen, Md, Prov
ing Ground refused to make any
comment. Dover state police said
they received calls from alarmed
persons and an officer in the
Georgetown station of the State
Police said the windows ratified in
the building.

WORK STUDIED AT U. OF ID.
University School of Agriculture
TO Give Help on Rehabilitation

The University of Delaware
School of Agriculture may be call
ed on, even before the war is over,
to offer rehabilitation and refresh
er courses, Dean George S. Schus-
ter reported to the trustees, and
there is possibility federal funds
will be appropriated to carry on
some of this work. Reorganization
and reconstruction of the curricu-
lum is already being mapped, he re-
ported, and the problem of obtain
ing an instructional staff for these
and the regular courses is being
considered. "The rehabilitation
courses" Dean Schuster said,
would be largely of a vocational
nature. In addition to rehabilita-
tion and vocational courses, it is
likely that there will be demand
for refresher courses for persons
returning from the armed forces
who are college graduates or have
some college training.

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB
Col. John p. LeFevre Speaker of
Evening Explains o. p. A.

Col. John P. LeFevre, head of
the enforcement division of the
state Office of Price Administra-
tion, in a talk last Thursday night
before the Smyrna Rotary Club,
lauded those in various commun-
tiles who have given service to
their state and national govern
ments in the role of administrators
and members of ration boards.
Among the reasons given for ra-
tioning were the holding down of
imitation, and the equalization of
prices for all. He explained the
creation of the offices of price adj
ministration by the federal govern
ment and subdivisions into dis
tricts in the various states. Office
subdivisions, such as food, gas,
rents, automobiles and tires were
enumerated. The speaker explain
ed the corrective measures as met
ed out by various panels. The in
dividual citizen was paid tribute
for his personal interest in and CO.
operation with local boards all over
the state. Negligence was attrib-
uted to carelessness, ignorance, with
few cases of willful intention, all
handled efficiently by local boards.
C. L. Harmonson was chairman of
the program and George W.Wright
presided. Guests were Richard
Long and Glenn S. King.

MILK OUTPUT TO BE STRESSED
AT MEETINGS FOR FARMERS

A definite program to stimulate
milk production and for the con-
servation of livestock in Delaware

was formulated at meeting of the
Delaware State Committee on
Dairy Production and Livestock
Conservation in Dover this week,
according to it's secretary, G. M.
Worrilow, associate director of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. First action planned by
the group is a series of meetings

county agricultural agents and vo-
cational agriculture instructors be-
tween Jan. 10 and 25. Three basic
points of dairy herd conservation
by a subcommittee

Beach Club property in the fashion
able Indian Beach section of Reho-
both Beach, will be sold at public

PASTURE, HAY
CROP SURVEY
Kent County Livestock Feed
Shortage is Serious and Need
For Conserving Urged
SURVEY SHOWS RESULTS

As part of the livestock feed
production program for Delaware
in view of the shortage of home
grown feeds, especially hay and
pasture crops, further efforts will
be made again this coming year by
the Agricultural Extension Service
to induce farmers to grow more of
these crops and to conserve all
feed produced as a vital phase of
the wartime production and con-
servation program. Several weeks
ago the dairy farmers in Kent
county received from Russell e.
Wilson, county agricultural agent,
survey card on which to report
the various recommended practices
that were followed this past year in
the seeding and treatment of pas
lures. The practices recommended
were those which were mentioned
by Claude E. Phillips, extension
specialist in forage crops, Univer-
sity of Delaware, who is assisting
county agents with this home
grown food project. Survey cards
were received from 85 dairy farm
ers in Kent county in response to
the request for this information,
and all of these farmers expressed
appreciation of the series of letters
which they received from Mr.. Phil
lips last spring and summer. In
addition to replying to the ques-
tions, many farmers also made
favorable comments on the prac-
tices they followed, and suggested
the use of various crops for hay
and pasture for hogs, dairy cattle
and other livestock. This survey
indicated that 29 farmers in the
county seedd Ladino clover for pas
aure, AZ follofed pasture seeding
recommendations 35 lined and 40
fertilized their pastures, so prac-
ticed rotation grazing, 81 clipped
their pastures, 33 spread droppings
on their pasture land, AZ seeded
emergency pasture crops, A cut.
clover and timothy earlier than US
ual, and IA seeded alfalfa this past
year. This project will constitute
one of the major lines of extension
work in Kent county next year, and
it will tie in very closely to the soil
conservation and farm drainage
program on those farms on which
drainage is now a problem. The
prolonged dry weather last summer
materially added to the feed short
age situation throughout this area.

are a folder on care and feeding of

HAY DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM
Southern States Cooperative Furn-
ishing Hay to Drought Areas

That Southern States Coopera-
tive is trying to clear by January
II all shipments of the Commodity
Credit Corporation hay which it is
furnishing in drought-stricken
areas of Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, and North
Carolina was announced Friday by
DR.. T. K. Wolfe, Richmond, Va,
who is in charge of Southern
States Hay Purchasing and Distri-
button program. IF the present
anti-subsidy bill before Congress is
passed, there will be no more
drought emergency hay after De-
cember 3d." DR.. Wolfe said, "and
that is why we are especially an
xious not to have any untitled or
ders at the beginning of the year.
We are now shipping better than
four train loads of hay day.
Thus far orders for 5000 cars have
been received and placed with ship,
pers. Deliveries on 1000 have al
ready been made. Whether or not
any shipments are made after De-
cember 81 will depend on Congress.
The hay subsidy which amounts to
from S100 to SIS ton, has been of
great benefit to farmers, and num-
ero1lS dairvrnen have indicated that
it was of substantial aid to them,
as the price they had to pay for
their hay was more in keeping with
the price they got for milk than
was higher priced hay. This hay
program has unquestionably saved
the liquidation of many animals,
aided consumers in securing the
needed supply of milk, and doubt
less prevented a rise in milk
prices" DR.. Wolfe declared.
