DELAWARE FARM FRONT

Pounds of milk produced per
cow increased in January in herds
cooperating in the Delaware Dairy
Herd Improvement Associations,
according to Delmar J. Young, eX-
tension dairyman. During the
month of January SO herds in the
state were under test in the herd
Improvement program, and the
average production per COW was
$50 pounds of milk as compared
with 527 pounds of milk the pre-
viOus month. On a county basis
Young reports that in January
Circuit No. 2 of the New Castle
County Association led the units
with an average of 585 pounds of
milk per COW as compared with
SAT pounds in December.
Topping the Association in but
terfat production during the past
month was Circuit No / of New
Castle county. Cows in this cir
cult averaged 26 pounds of butter
fat.
A hOtbed or cold frame is basic
equipment for every home gar
den. Whichever device the farm
er or gardener selects can be used
to save money and provide better
garden, says Jack F. Bell, extern
sion agricultural engineer.
In selecting a spot for either
type of plant bed three things
should be kept in mind-protec-
ton from cold winds, a location
i'll the full sun all day, and con-
Venience in tending.
Where manure is available a
temporary manure hOtbed may be
constructed by placing the ma
nure in a fiat pile 8 or 8 feet in
width, II to "a inches in depth and
any desired length. A framework
of boards from Is to "a inches in
height on the north side or back
and to II inches on the south or

Electricity has been used extern
sively to heat plant beds and has
a decided advantage over the ma

Coldtrames are usually con-

Freedoms Constitution was

Creator had decreed for every in

greatest measure Of we'll being

Of mankind has ever developed on
this earth. 1t may be said. with
out any doubt, that the freedoms
and liberties which brought our
prosperity grew directly from the
religious foundation laid by our
forefathers.

year. This order constituted the
first recorded forest regulation that
is known. Led by Germany, Swe-

WASILLA-Local youngsters are almost wishing school was open again. Such rash of acci- dents has overtaken them since vacation began, they're begin ming to believe vacations are un- healthy this year.
 First victim was James Hill burn who was crushed and bruised when a house on which he had been playing collapsed. James was caught beneath the framework and was severely bruised before rescued. He spent several days in the Valley hos pital as a result of the mishap.
 Jerry Sorensen was next on the accident list. He was riding double on a bicycle, when the frame collapsed and Jerry land ed hard. The result was several stitches in a badly bitten lip.
 Judy Belts was the third can didate for disqualification. She stepped too close to a sister who was yielding an ax and received a cut on her face that also re- quired a doctors attention.
