Dairymen Must Still
Gull Their Herds
Milk Must Be Efficiently Produced
At All Times

Culling his herd is still one of
the dairyman's big jobs.
Although increased milk produc-
ton is one of the most important
phases of the war food program.
it is essential that this milk be
efficiently produced
Professor T. A. Baker of the
Department of Animal and Poultry
Industry at the University of Della
ware, says that with the prevailing
high level of milk prices many
dairymen are overlooking the ne
cessity of culling the herd Their
thought seems to be that low
producer is profitable if the milk
price is high enough. Professor
Baker says that this may be true
if the price is high enough and the
cows production not too slow.
However. scarcity of feed should
have an important bearing on the
culling situation. If there is not
enough feed to give all the cows all
the feed they should have, it is
much better to get rid of the poor
er animals than to keep the whole
herd on a reduced ration. Last
winter many farmers ran out of
hay before spring and had TO pay
$25 to $50 a ton for baled hay to
carry them to the beginning of the
pasture season. II hay shortage
can be averted by culling the
"boarders." then culling is good
business.

Their Teeth Examined
Majority In Grades l. 3 And 3
Have Met Requirements

That 1885 children in grades
1. 2 and of Delaware's public
schools had their teeth examined
last year by the dental hygienists
of the State Board of Health's Di-
vision of Oral Hygiene, has just
been announced by Miss Margaret
Jeffreys, the divisions director. OF
this number, 2,054 had mouths
that were in good condition and
1899 more went to their family
dentists and had corrections made,
making a total of 4,2S7 children
of these primary grades who had
mouths in good condition by the
end of the school year.
Corrective advice cards are the
stick by which the State
Board of Health estimates the pro-
gress made in the field of oral hy-
giene. When a dental hygienist ex-
amines the teeth of a child and
finds that he or she is in need of
dental care, a card is filled out
and sent home to the parents. The
parents make an appointment with
their own family dentist and when

Delivery of milk was resumed in
Kent and Sussex counties Wednes-
day morning. following an agree
ment reached at the day-long
meeting of national. regional and
Delaware OPA officials and II low
er Delaware milk distributors held
in Wilmington on Tuesday. The lat
ter had refused to make deliveries
since the U. S. District Court re-
strained them last week from
charging more than the ceiling
price.

while, OPA officials said, every ef-
fort will be made to expedite the
distributors petition for a two
cent price increase. While action
by the OPA is awaited. the ceiling
price of 13 cents remains in effect.
1t was reported that the meeting
cleared up misunderstanding on
the part of the dealers on what
figures they must produce to JUS
tify their request for a price in
crease.
Statement Issued
Charles W. Hardesty, state direc-
tor OPA, issued the following state
ment:
AT the conclusion of the con-
ference between the down state
milk distributors of Kent and Sus-
sex counties and the representa-
tives of national. regional and Del

lowing resulted:

resume deliveries of milk to con-
sumers Immediately.

fore signed by U. S. District Judge

New "A" Gas
Ration Books
Being Issued
In Delaware
Official Tire Inspection
Stations Now Have
Application Forms;
Must Be Mailed To
Local Boards.

Delaware rationing boards are
beginning to mail renewal of A
gasoline ration books, the OPA an
nounced this week. and motorists
are asked to obtain renewal appli-
cation forms at all official tire in
spection stations rather than at the
boards.
The forms must be mailed to the
local boards, and the applicant
must be sure to attach the back
cover of his present A book, prop
erly signed, and his current tire
inspection record showing that
proper inspections have been made.
After checking the applications
to make sure the motorist is en-
titled to a new A book. his board
will issue 1t through the mail.
Pages in the new book are num-
bered Al to A-12, but all AT
sheets will be removed in order to
make the number used in the East
conform to that current in the rest
of the country.
The task of issuing the new book
will be completed by October 21,
1t is hoped. On that date, it was
reported without official verifica-
tion, 0PA plans to announce that
the first sheet of coupons can be
used concurrently with any AS

The church can exert a powerful
