FARM NEWS

Delmarva broiler growers can
obtain still greater benefits in
marketing by meeting more close
ly the demands of the Eastern
Consumer markets. This was
pointed out by M. S. Hoffman, a
New York distributor of dressed
poultry, at the recent Broiler Field
Day held at Georgetown.
Hoffman said that Delmarva
producers supply only one-half the
demand of the markets, this sup
ply being mainly broilers and fry
ers, while there is still an unsat-
isfied consumer demand for heav-
ier chickens. When markets de-
cline on the lighter weight birds, it
remains steady on birds weighing
four pounds and over because of
the short supply.
In order to remedy frequent de-
clines in our markets due to over
supply of small broilers and fry
ers, Hoffman suggested that it was
important that growers hold their
flocks on their farms for two or
three weeks longer before market
ing them. This would mean in
creased weight of over a million
pounds per week to the benefit OF
Delmarva growers. Healthier mar
kets would also benefit producers
and distributors and more nearly
meet consumer preferences.
DelaWare's harvest machines are
now in full operation bringing
greatly increased hazards to life
and limb of the States farmers.
Records of the National Safety
Council show that farm accidents
become more frequent during the
harvesting season than during any
other period of the year. Harvest
ing machinery with its high speed
shafting, betting and gears, TO-
gether with its cutting mechanism

LATE BLIGHT
FOUND HERE
Disease of Tomato Plants Pos
itively Identified in
Delaware
BEGIN BLIGHT CONTROL

Disease injury on tomato plants
submitted June 26 by William 1.
Boyd of Rising Sun, to DR.. John
w. Heuberger, plant pathologist
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, has ben identified
as late blight disease. This is The
first time the disease has been pos
itively identified in Delaware this
wear. A fungus mold on the plants
submitted, for examination was
scraped off and examined under a
microscope and DIR. Heuberger re-
ported that this is the dreaded dis
ease which was estimated to have
caused 4 million dollars loss to to-
mato crop throughout the Nation
last year. Last years blight DAM
age in Delaware was estimated 60
have cut production by one-half.
This announcement of the discov-
erv of the presence of the disease
follows just q week after warn
ing issued by DR.. Hcuberger and
The county agricultural agents that
late blight disease could attack
Delaware tomatoes by late June or
the first part of July if weather
conditions were favorable.
Apply Fungicides
That Delaware tomato growers
are prepared this year to wage
war against blight is shown by the
fact that a majority of the States
commercial growers have already
been applying fungicides to control
the disease and that considerably
more machinery and planes fol
private and custom spraying anc
dusting are available than was the
case last year. Growers who have
not yet started their disease con.
troll practices are urged to do sc
Immediately. How serious damage
will be this year will depend upor
how thorough control measures
are taken now and weather condi
tions. Cool wet weather favors
the development Of the disease
Sprays or dusts should be applied
at Z to 10 day intervals, depending
upon the weather. County Agen
Tarbell suggests that all tomato
growers begin spraying at once.
Use of Dusts and Sprays
The dusts and sprays that ma.
be used are as follows; Dithan
D-14, two quarts plus 2 lbs. zin
sulphate plus u lb. of lime
Dithane Z-7S can be used either a
a dust or spray. Follow manufac
turers directions for mixing. An,
of the fixed coppers: copper com
pound A, cuprocide or tribasic cop
per also can be used according t
the makers directions. These dust
or sprays should be applied ever
7 or 10 days and use amount
varying according to the size @

Furnishing CHILDREN

The article is timely and can be helpful
in siartings many a child toward useful
citizenship if taken TO heart by parents.
Too often parents look upon their off
springs as unwelcome charges whose
n~aughtiness and predisposition for mis-
chief can be properly dealt with only by
punishment. Too often children are
whipped or otherwise Inundated, and en-.
couraged TO commit worse misdeeds, with.
out a hearing after the German or the
Russian court practice.
The truth is, not one child Of a hundred
Is impervious to persuasion. They can b.
argued out Of tantrums, or repeating mis-
deeds, if parents would but give them
sympathetic hearing and point out tn
evil Of petty wrong-doing. And by s.
treating them there is no danger Of turn
ing them into sissies. They can under
stand the difference between right an
wrong at a very tender age, but never will
improve their behavior if hairbrush, in

Editorial Comment
"a CLEAR AND BRAVE MIND"

Rudolph Hess, Hitler's right-hand man, has
been in prison Cor a long, long time. You
will recall his crazy flight to England and
his fate since then, including trial for his
life as a. war criminal. All Of this time Hess
has had a stomach-ache. Now that he knows
his Fate, life imprisonment, Hess can throw
away his stomach pills, eat normally, for his
pains are gone Why?
Because he is able to quit worrying. He
knows what will happen to him. He may
know that he will, be behind bars for the
rest OF his life, but he knows that he will
not die on the ganows. His pains, prison
doctors say, were genuine but there was moth
ing wrong with his digestive apparatus. "His
nerves are returning to normal and he is IN

There is a lesson in the case of Hess for

nomena that have physical reflections. Oar

The sugar situation grows more confus-

j, as originally intended, comes word
that the Office Of Price Administration,
ruled against in the United States Court

Court, a move which obviously will in

Industry affected and perhaps others re-
curing sugar in large quantities under
a handicap pending a decision.
1t would not be advisable for domestic
consumers to welcome the prospect Of ten
pounds tor a single stamp as an unmixed
blessing, either. For, whereas it has been
the OPA custom TO duplicate the allotment
OF five pounds for home canning, il is now
said that with the te%n-pound stamp there
will be no additional stamp for canning. In
the long run this reduces the AVERAGE TO
the old standing. If there is TO be any
home canning the sugar so used must come
from the single stamp. The only apparent
advantage will be thai housewives with
dwindling supplies whose current stamps
have been used will get their next allot-
ment a month earlier than expected.
Another complication in the sugar situa
tion is found in the fact that while thu

The only woman who ever won
the Masters Individual cham
pionship is Miss Eleanor Murdoch
of Birmingham, Ala. In 1946 she
vas a winner of the Faber Cub
Team event for the Eberhard Fa-
Der Memorial Trophy, which gave
her sufficient Master points to
make her Life Master No. 81.
In today's hand Miss Murdoch
points out that a bad bid can give
the key to the correct defense.
With his minimum h o d j n G,
South should have bid two hearts
over two diamonds, not three
clubs. North then would have
taken the contract to four hearts,
but it would have been impossible
for the defense to read the dis
tribution Of the hand.
After cashing the first three
spade tricks, West might Shift to
a trump, hoping to make the king
Of diamonds and defeat the con-
tract. But with South bidding the
club suit, Miss Murdoch outlines
the defense as follows:
Declarer covers the opening
lead with dummy's queen Of
spades, East wins and returns a
spade. West wins with the ten and
"a shes the king of spades. West
reasons that South certainly held
at Leaf five hearts, and the club
hid showed four clubs. Therefore
South could not have more than
the singleton ace OF diamonds, and
west realizes that he will not
make the king of diamonds. The
only hope of a trick is to find a
high trump in the East ha<~ 60
West leads the fourth spade.
If dummy rufus with the king
or queen of hearts, it is impossible
to prevent West from making the
ten Of trumps.
If dummy ruffs low. Eas,
trumps in with the eek, South is
forced to overirump with the ace
