DELAWARE FARM FRONT

Present day farm equipment and
methods are geared to efficient pro-
duction. But to get this efficient
production every step in the farm
operation must be correctly per-
formed
In producing a good crop of grain
the most important single factor is
the use of good seed, according to
Claude E. Phillips, extension agrO-
nomiSt.
AS the time for seeding fall
grains approaches Phillips reminds
growers that only pure clean seed
of high yielding adapted varieties
has the ability to respond to cor
rect fertilization and proper culture.
The use of poor seed of mixed
varieties and high weed content is
about as ancient as taking the en-
gine out of a modern truck and u.s.
ing a yoke of oxen for power.
Excellent pullets on range can be
ruined by careless handling at the
time they are moved to the laying
houses. Poultrymen are handling
highpowered laying machines when
housing pullets and the treatment
they are given at this time will de-
termine whether they will produce
in high gear or second gear.
Delaware farmers are raising
$4,000 turkeys this year, 25 per cent
less that last year according to the
preliminary estimate of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.

HOUSTON, Tex. - Seventy soft
ball games were scheduled in HOus-
ton the day the years first tropical
storm moved toward the fexas
coast.
An additional 100 games were OIL
schedule the following day.
1t was the opening of the nations
largest softball tournament in
history and Dick Freeman, sports
editor of the Houston Chronicle
and manager of the tournament,
found he had trouble on his hands
figuring out schedules for the 234
teams participating.
Practically every sOftball dia-
mOnd in town had been acquired fOf
specified periods in order that the
ninth annual tournament might bs
run with a minimum of delay.
Freeman experienced many anX-
ious moments during those first two
days. He had not counted on having
to scan weather bureau reports
along with his schedule problems.
At the last minute, however, tie
storm headed into the Rio Grands
Valley and the squalls on its out
skirts forced postpOnemeat Of only
one game.
The tournament, attracting ap.
pl o;,imdtely 2,700 players, bCtf
young and old, began in 1895.
The 1885 tournament attracted G.
teams and by 1941 the Entry lis
had grown to 1853. Fr1emaa hat
hoped for a new record this yea"
after a wartime layoff. bI. he wa'
SURPRISED at the final figure.
