AGRONOMIST CITES
DELAWARE SOIL FERTILITY
CONDITIONS

Delaware crop yields per acre
have not materially increased dur
ing the past half-century in spite
of improved varieties, use of chem
ical fertilizers and improved crop
ping practices. Claude E. Phillips,
extension agronomist for the Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, told farmers attending the
University of Delaware Farmers
Week that this indicates soil fer
tility in Delaware is slowly declin-
ing.
Phillips cautioned growers that
if farming in Delaware is to be on
a more profitable basis this down
ward trend in soil fertility must be
reversed.
Research has shown, said Phil
lips, that crops, fertilizer and man
,agement practices have entirely
different effects upon soil fertility.
To indicate these effects Phillips
has constructed a device which
shows not only the effect the croD
has on soil fertility but also the eff
fects Of cropping practices and roA
tations. This device which Phillips
has named a Soil Fertility Bal
ance" was a part of the Farmers
Week exhibits and was used in his
talk IN the soils session on balanc-
ing soil fertility on the dairy farm.
on the vegetable farm, and on the
grain farm.
With weighted symbols repre-
senting crops grown in Delaware
attached to one side of his "solI
fertility balance" Phillips has only
to add weighted symbols represent
ing plant food sources such as
manures and fertilizers to the other
arm Of the balance to show the in
dividual farmer in a moment whe-
ther his soil is losing or gaining in
fertility

Defy Patrols

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.-Even
after GA years of German and
Australian rule, large chunks OF

Reporting that problem to the U.

on it's first annual report of admin
istration to the U. N. The one SUBJ

cided to take up the case again.
While New Guinea was self-sup-

The government has planted small

A homemade dehydrator heating

Successful drying depends upon re-

FIRST AID TO AILING HOUSES
By Roger Whitman

QUESTION: Our windows are set
in steel frames. They sweat SC
badly it runs down on the frames.
We were told the trouble was
caused by the oil burner. We
changed to a floor furnace, but the
windows are still the same. The
water is gradually rotting the sills.
What can we do?
ANSWER: The trouble probably
would be greatly reduced by the
installation of storm sash. AS the
windows are now, the steel frames
become chilled by the outdoor air
and the warm, moist air of the
house condenses on their cold sur
faces. Storm sash would protect
the windows from such chilling and
the sweating should be checked.
