Provide easy access to supply of
water for cows on pasture so they
may drink whenever they want
water.
Loose salt mixed with an equal
amount of steamed bone meal or di-
calcium phosphate should be placed
in a salt box near the water supply.
Keep this salt box filled at all times.

Don't neglect the air cleaner on
your tractor, says Jack F. Bell, ex-
tension agricultural engineer. After
every ten hours of operation, an0
more frequently when operating
under dusty conditions, the oil
cup on the air cleaner should be re-
moved, cleaned and refilled with
new oil. The oil should be the same
grade as used in the crankcase.
After 60 hours of operation, re-
move the air cleaner, take it apar
and wash it in kerosene. When re-
placing the cleaner make sure al
joints are tight and hose connec
tiOns do not leak air.

Delaware s Farm
Front

Unless peach and apple buds have
begun to enlarge, application of
dormant sprays should be complet-
ed at ONCE. This advice is contained
in the second edition of Orchard
Spray Notes just released by the
Extension Service.
Dir. John w. Heuberger, extension
plant patholOgist, cautions peach
orchardists that the carry-over of
peach. brown rot mummies is heavy.
He recommends discing the peach
orchards just before bloom to dis
turb the mummies and reduce the
discharge of spores which cause
blossom blight. This operation is to
supple nent spraying with sulfur
during bloom.
The principal leaf and fruit di-
seases of tomatoes are early blight
leaf spot, anthracnOse fruit spot,
and late blight. Recommendations
for their control by the use of fun
gicides may be obtained from any
Delaware county agent or by writ
ing to the Extension Service, New
ark. Delaware.
Cultural practices which will aid
in the control of these diseases are
Use of well-drained land; three
year rotation; adequate fertilizer
application; use of vigorous
healthy plants; and avoiding plant
ing tomatoes directly after potatoes
or in fields adjacent to them.

! Delaware farmers are urged tC
complete their fight against the
European Corn BOrer between now
and May 10. BY plowing under
| cleanly, or burning, all stalks il
fields, feed lots and other locations
the hibernating borers can be de-
stroyed.
| The corn borer was first discOv
cred in Delaware near StOckley il
| 1884. Since that time it has sprea(
to all sections of the State. Las
year checks on the extent of infes
tatiOn showed that one out of ever,
Milford chronicle., 1947-05-30

four corn plants had been attacked
by this pest.
Heavy infestations of the bOrer
result in stunned plants, decreased
yields through undevelOped ears,
and difficulty in harvesting because
of the stalks broken below the ears.

With planting dates for sweet
corn for processing not far off, E.
Z. Brasher, extension horticulture
list, recommends yellow hybrids for
high tonnage and for good quality
packs. Varieties recommended are
Tristate, Tendermost, AristogOld
Bantam Evergreen and Golden
grain.
Manure is an excellent fertilizer
for sweet corn. And if used, Brash-
er says 300 pounds per acre of 3-12-
applied in bands will be sufficient.
If manure is not applied, he re-
COmmends 500 pounds per acre of
8-16-16 or similar fertilizer be
drilled before or after plowing in
addition to the 800 pounds of 3-12-6
applied with the corn planter.

With summer approaching poul-
trymen are likely to find lice on the
hens and mites in the cracks and
crevices of the laying house.
For control of lice, j. Frank Cor
dy, extension poultryman, suggests
applying thin stream of nicotine
sulfate solution on top of the rOOsts
about One-half hour before the birds
so to rOOst.
To kill mites, apply old crank
case oil in all cracks and crevices

Young bases this recommended
ton on the fact that the average
cow needs 100 pounds of grass daily
to maintain her body and produce
20 pounds of 4 per cent milk if she
is given no other supplemental
feeds.
Cows producing more than this
amount of milk and cows on pas
ture that is short must get the
additional food elements from barn
feeding.
Maximum milk production
through the summer can be main
tanned only by careful attention to
adequate feeding.
Summer shelters for layers pro-
vide bird comfort during hot
weather. Poultrymen should have
theirs ready for use not later than
May Is, says ]. Frank GOrdy, exten-

It is important, he pointed out,
for the doctor not merely to provide
temporary relief from vitamin de-
ficiencies, but to train the patient to
develop eating habits which viii
prevent their recurrence.
He acknowledged, however, that
artificial means should be employed
where change in dietary habits is
impracticable. Such instances, he
declared, would include persons suf-
fering from allergies, alcoholics who
fail to absorb the proper foods. In

KENT REQUEST
NEW TAX RATE
Higher, To Eliminate Yearly
Money Borrowing By
Kent County
LEVY COURT in FAVOR

Faced with difficulty in meeting
county expenses, officials will seek
changes in the state tax laws to
allow a rise in county levies. Levy
court members favor the higher
rate. Increases would be proposed
not only in the county rate, but in
personal property levies. The pres
ent tax rate of 40 cents on the
S1OO of assessed valuation is the
limit under the law and has been
in effect many years, while the ex-
penses of the county have greatly
increased. It is understood that
the Legislature will be requested
to increase the maximum rate
from 40 to so cents and, if posi-
BILE, the new rate would become eff
fective each year. The county
fiscal officers say it would be I'M
necessary for the county to bor-
row money each year if higher
tax rate would be permissible. The
plan to have personal property in
cluded in the assessment originat-
ed with persons outside of county
officials and in event any action is
taken along this line,it will be done
by persons other than county Of
ficials.

10 Years Ago

Snow, which began falling Tues
day morning following a rain, de-
veloped into a near blizzard before
nightfall leaving stranded cars
damaged in it's wake.
Thief of two acetylene tanks
from Smyrna garages led state and
county officers to redouble their
efforts to catch the burglars for
fear the acetylene might be used
against a bank or safe. Three
weeks ago the Ennis and Deakyne
garage in Smyrna was robbed of
automobile radios and heaters. A
year before the safe was cracked
in the same place.
