DELAWARE'S
farm FRONT
THIS week

Every dairyman knows that
August is the most difficult month
to produce milk, says Delmar
Young, Extension dairy specialist
for the University of Delaware,
Dairymen who plan for this month
can maintain production and thus
produce more milk during the fol-
lowing months than those farmers
who allow the cows to drop off in
production in August. Young sug-
gests several methods of manage
ment which will maintain milk
production and at the same time
reduce feed costs. Among these
are pasturing meadow aftermath,
clipping permanent pasture to re-
move the dry, dead grass and en-
courage the growth of new grass,
supplementing short dry pastures
by feeding hay or silage, and TAX
ing inventory of feed supply from
now until May 1, 1947. Also i'm
portant during hot weather is
plenty of clean, fresh water and

Home Produced Food Important
To Delaware Farm Families

Delaware farm families who
raise their own food are not only
helping relieve shortages, but are
better off physically and financial
ly, according to Miss Louise Whit
comb, home management special
ist for the University of Delaware.
Miss Whitcomb has just completed
a study of the living expenses of
33 Delaware farm families, in
which it is revealed that in 1915,
these families produced food cal
ued at S11,779. In every case,
food was found to be the highest
item in the family budget, requir-
ing $685. in cash for each family.
Home grown food totaled 1888 per
family of four, or about 81 per
cent of entire food costs. The
survey also showed that vegetables
from the garden represented a saw
ing of $500 for these 33 families,
with dairy products close second,
at a S3283 saving. The value
placed on the food was what the
farmer could get for his products
if sold at home. Home produced
meat, poultry, eggs, fruits, flour
and honey also meant substantial
savings. With the certainty that
food prices will continue to rise,
however, farm people will feel the
pinch of this trend less than those
people in cities. Like these 33
families last year, they can plan
for good spring, summer and fall
gardens, preserve the surplus by
proper canning and storage, and
have their small poultry flock and
dairy cow. And most important
of all, says Miss Whitcomb, after
producing this food, they must ac-
comodate their tastes to using
these foods on their family tables.
BY following the wise manage
ment practices these 33 families
carried out, many other rural fam
lilies will be assured of more whole
some living and greater financial
security in 1946-47.

Winners Named In Barley Yield
Contest

State ard county winners In a
five-acre barley yield contest have
been announced by Claude E. Phil
lips, Extension agronomist for the
University of Delaware. The con-
test, which was sponsored by the
Delaware Crop Improvement Asso-
citation, was conducted to encour-
age interest in the barley crop and
in better varieties and fertilization.
Samples for yield determination
were taken n Jnue, and informa-
tion secured as to variety fertiliza-
tion and proceeding crops. Those
samples were threshed and the
yield calculated. Thirty-three
farmers entered the contest: II
from New Castle County; II from
Kent County; and nine from Sus-
sex County. The average of all
entries was highest for New Castle
County--55 bushels per acre, with
Kent averaging AZ bushels and
Sussex, 46.6 bushels. Normally,
the loans and silt loan soils in
Northern Delaawre produce larger
yields than the sandy soils in
Southern Delaware. State winner
of the barley yield contest was
Edgar F. Isaacs and Son, of Lin
coin, with a five-acre average of
72.3 bushels of Wong barley per
acre. Second high yield was that
of Norval Pepper, Seaford, whose
five acres of Wong averaged 69.3
bushels per acre. In Kent County,
Walter Harrington, operator of the
Davis farm east of Dover, was
high, with an average of 65.1 for
five acres of Wong. High yield for

buying the tomatoes, choose those
grown nearby and still garden
fresh. Prepare tomatoes by scald-
ing them for easy peeling. Remove
the stem ends, peel and quarter
them. Bring them to rolling
boil, stirring as the tomatoes heat
in their juice. Pack clean, hot
jars with hot tomatoes and add a
teaspoon of salt to each quart.
Cover with hot juice to IL inch of
jar top. Adjust the jar lid accord
ing to its type. If a ready-made
water bath Gamer is lacking, a
practical Gamer may be contrived
from a wash boiler or other large,
clean, deep vessel with a good lid.
Put in a rack to hold the jars, so
they will not touch bottom. Make
lattice rack of wood if necessary.
Water must boil around, under,
and over every jar. Process the
tomatoes in a boiling water bath
by heating the pint or quart jars
of tomatoes in the boiling water
bath for 10 minutes-at sea level.
For each 1000 feet of altitude
above sea level, add one minute to
processing time. Dependable, de-
tailed directions on home canning
of all kinds of fruits and vegeta-
bles are available from the Della

A recent honey report Of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
of the USDA shows that there
were 5000 colonies of bees in Del
aware estimated in 1916. That is
the same number reported for 1e45.
In the United States as a whole,
the number of bee colonies has in
creased from 5,460,00o colonies in
July, 1945, to 5,7s0,000 on July L,
1916. Although new bee equip
ment has been scarce, beekeepers
salvaged old equipment to supple

Mr.. Byrnes Is Frank

Secretary of State Byrnes, in his
roundly %applauded address to the United
Nations Assembly, dwelt upon the Unit
ed States peace objective on the same
grounds that physicians dwell so hope
fully on preventive medicine as their
ultimate goal.
I'VE prefer" he said, ITO prevent,
rather than to win, the next war;" AS
a means to this end, he gave hearty
endorsement to the Baruch proposal for
control of atomic energy.
There are other weapons of destruc-
ton that must be considered, he de-
clared, but with the atomic bomb the
most terrible agent of death ever Great
ed, there a be no hope of peace as
long as any nation may employ it in
attacking another nation. AS long as it
is available for destruction the nations
are bound to engage in an armament
race, which is the inevitable route to
war.
The United States wants none of
this. But it wants adequate safeguards.
And when they are created, through
world cooperation, the veto, which has
been a stumbling block in the path to
peace, will be of small value to any
government.
I'VE must see," said Mr.. Byrnes,
that disarmament is accompanied by
effective safeguards and other means
under international control that will pro-
tect complying states against the
hazards of violations and evasions.
The Secretary of State, taking the
initiative in disclosing the number and
disposition of American military forces
abroad, and explaining for the most
part why they are where they are,
spoke with a frankness that ought to
set the pace for all United Nations
member states. Russia, in particular,
cannot afford to do less ,as it is Russia
that has been most insistent in calling

NOn-B urnable Mattresses

There is no definite evidence that
the disastrous Winecoff fire originated
in a mattress as some have claimed.
But throughout the years of any adults
memory there have been innumerable
fires in which human lives have been
sacrificed which did start in mattresses.
Obviously it is time that American in
ventive genius created mattresses that
will not burn.
Perhaps they are already in sight.
AT the recent meeting of the National
Cotton Council in Charlotte there was
demonstrated a flame-resistant cotton
which cannot be ignited ever by a blow
torch. The material has the additional
advantage Of not packing, even when
used as insulation.
If the treatment of cotton to render
it unburnable is not too expensive and
can be obtained in large quantities,

Helping Backward Children

Special training for backward chill
dren, which was given at the high
school before the war but abandoned
shortly after the United States entered
the conflict because space was lacking,
is to be resumed now that the war
emergency is past, but only for chill
dren who have reached the age of four
teen years and are still in the lower
elementary grades. The decision to
gather them into a class by themselves
and give them such instruction as they
are able to absorb is wise and kindly
and capable of producing constructive
results.
At the same time it is possible that
better results would be obtained if the
age limit of entrants were lowered.
Backwardness is usually apparent in
much younger children. If they were
segregated and allowed to do the things
for which they have some natural apti-
tude, despite their general mental slow
ness, and special effort made to develop
this aptitude, the effort might reason
ably be expected to show quicker and
better achievement.
This, at least, is the principle on
which a school is conducted at Fair
Hope, Alabama. Years ago a group of
Henry George devotees settled at Fair
Hope and established a single tax
colony. One of their theories, in addi-
ton to single taxes, was that children
should be allowed to follow their natu-
raj bent and be aided in doing their
best therein.
They started what they called an
organic school in which the purpose was
to encourage pupils to develop whatever
talent they were blessed with from the
start, with regular courses of study
RELOCATED to a secondary place. The fact
that the school has continued we'll over
a quarter century seems to indicate the
fundamental %soundness Of the principle.
The teachers have been exceptionally
successful in helping the billiards. Per-
haps this success stems from the fact
that the %cultivating Of latent aptitudes
has not been delayed until the mid
teens, but is started much earlier.
