DELAWARE'S FARM FRONT

Go easy on feeding new corn to
the laying flock. In fact, don't feed
it at all until the first of the year il
you can possibly avoid it" says j.
Frank Gordy, extension poultry
man.
Gordy points out that new corn
frequently causes digestive dis
turbances and will often throw pull
lets out of production. 1t is referred
to as new corn disease"
If new corn must be fed, it should
be fed in limited quantities with old
corn for at least two weeks. Ano-
ther suggestion is that the birds be
allowed to "do their own shelling.
When fed to them on the cob they
will be less likely to eat too much
of it at one time.
Pastures should not be grazed too
closely just before cold weather ar
rives. According to Claude E. Phil
lips, extension agronomist, perman-
ent pastures should have at least
three or four inches of growth to &C
into the winter.
For every hundred pounds ol
grass this fall, by grazing short
there will be a loss of four or five
hundred pounds next year.
Each year, the hunting season
brings a multitude of deaths and
injuries. The National Safety
Council recommends the following
precautions for a happy hunting
season: Keep gun unloaded except
when being used; keep safety on al
all times; hold gun with muzzlt
pointed away from your body ant
other people; make sure humans
are out of line of fire; and exercise
care in loading and unloading.

Social Adequacy +.
OF Deaf Gudged
By a Word Test
APP Newsfeatures

ST. LOUIS S-To help the deaf, a
word test at Washington Universe
ty, Medical School measures the IS.
A" of hearing.
s. A. in this case means social
adequacy-whether a person can
hear enough words and different
syllables to be able to get along in
normal conservations.
The word test was designed TO
find an accurate measurement of
normal hearing abilities at differ
ent intensities of everyday speech,
said DR.. Theodore Walsh, professor
of otolaryngology.
This standard then can be used
to measure just. what impairment
the hard-of-hearing persons may
have, and what improvement is
achieved through hearing aids or
by operations.
The test takes about an hour. The
patient is put in sound-proofed
room at the Central Institute for
the Deaf, an affiliate of the medical
school,. Through earphones he
hears selected lists of words from
a recording. These words cover all
sounds used in spoken English.
The patient has to repeat what
he hears, and the tester checks his
accuracy of hearing. The results
show that the persons hearing
threshold is-how low words have
to be before he can hear them cor
rectly.
It also shows any inability in
hearing certain pitches of sound
Pitch is important in distinguish
) ing between words that sound
: alike. like seen and sheen
"a person is socially adequate
IN hearing if his hearing loss by
the usual tests is not more than 81
or 40 decibels," DIR. Walsh said.
1.-THE important thing" he addsd
"is not how loud or how sof
sounds a person can hear. but whe
ther he can DISTINGUISH betweeI
words. and that is what this test Il
designed to do"
