Cow Visits
Maternity Ward

BESANCON, France - (P) - A
cow was the first being to see a
newly born baby in a farm here.
Nine Madeleine Mesnie the wife
of a farmer, was having a baby in
her room, which like most farms in
this department was situated un-
derneath the cows stable.
Suddenly the ceiling collapsed
and one cow was found munching
near the baby's cot. The mother
was covered with plaster and so
was the baby, but neither of them
had been hurt.
According to the usual social an
nOuncement, "the mother, the baby
and the COW are all we'll"

Scab Resistant Wheat
Gives Better Yields

Low wheat yields on many Dela-
ware farms this season points up
the fact that more attention to
seeding disease resistant varieties
IS needed, says Claude 3. Phillips,
agrOnOmist for the Delaware AgTt-
cultural Extension Service.
Phillips says that varieties lack
ing resistance to wheat seab have
been the cause Of many low yields.
Especially low yields have been
harvested from fields where the
beardless types Of wheat were
grown.
Since weather conditions freq
quently occur which are favorable
10 the development Of wheat scab,
Phillips advises growers to care
fully consider the seeding Of the
more resistant bearded varieties.
He reveals that this year a varie-
ty 0f wheat developed after 8
years Of research at the Delaware
Agricultural Experiment Station
has proven highly. resistant to scab-
This variety, first annOunced at the
annual meeting Of the Delaware
Crop improvement Association
meeting this past winter, has been
named Nh Del This variety has
been grown on farm plots this year,
and a limited supply will be avail
able for distribution to farmers this
fall. The agrOnOmist hopes that as
soon as a supply Of this variety can
be produced, a general use Of il
among the wheat growers of the
state will help to eliminate the low
wheat yields that occur with less
hardy varieties commonly grown.
