DR.. Stearns, discussing current
investigations in entomology, sta
ted: Advances in recent years
with respect to toxicants necessi-
tates a re-evaluation Of previously
accepted controls for most insect
pests. Consequently, the current re-
search program in entomology in
cludes the following lines of at
tack: New insecticides for fruits,
for vegetables, and for livestock
pests; Improvement of sprays for
woodland and shade tree posts;
and continued investigations of the
biology and control of mosquitoes. I"
Mr.. Tomhave pointed out that,
Delaware broiler growers have
more and better information at
hand than any other group Of brolI-
er producers.
"This advantage must be retain
ed by continuing research pro
gram" he said. To retain its
number one position in the produc-
ton Of commercial broilers, Della
ware must produce a superior meat
bird that grows rapidly, has a high
feed efficiency and low mortality"
Among present and future prob
lens which should receive cOnsid-
-eratiOn, he enumerated: Continued
Improvement Of breeds and strains
used in brOiler production; studies
on radiant heat for brOiler prOduc-
ton; nutrition Of broilers; poultry
marketing; poultry diseases, pas
lures and utilization Of pastures,
and mineral requirements of Della
ware dairy cattle.
Mr.. Brasher listed II projects
concerning fertilization and cul-
ture of fruit and vegetable crops of
Delaware with which, he said, the
present research program Of the
horticulture department is con-
cerned. They included prevention
of rots during the marketing of
peaches, fruit thinning spray, util-
ization of brOiler manure in the
production of strawberries, toma-
toes, lima beans, cantalOupes and
water melons. Future projects he
added, may include; Methods of
preventing frost damage; further
nutriticnal studies to establish the
optimum nutriend content in fruit
and vegetable crops; methods of in
creasing the red color on apples
and improving the marketability of
Delaware fruits and vegetables. Be
fore such new projects are initia-
ted, however, he added, the advice
of fruit and vegetable growers in
the state will be sought.
Summing up, Mr.. WOrrilow told
the governors committee that the
function of the experiment station
was to conduct fundamental and
applied research both for the bene-
fit of farmers and consumers. He
referred to more than so research
projects now in progress at the ex-
pertinent station in support of ag-
ricultural needs.
The Delaware experiment sta
ton, he explained, is not an isOla-
ted agency, pursuing independent
studies, but one of national net
work Of cOOrdinated laboratories.
He discussed the varying sources
Of support for experiment sta
tions, both in Delaware and for the
nation as a whole.
