Safe Winter Driving

''Winterize your driving, that's
the advice from William A. Cal
vert, extension agricultural engin-
eer, University of Delaware, for
safe winter driving. Longer hours
of darkness, poor visibility caused
by snow and ice, fog and frost on
windshield, and slippery roads add
serious hazards to normal highway
traffic. Accident rates increase
from q to 50 per cent during ice
and snow months, according to the
National Safety Council.
If you must use your car in sew
ere winter weather, don't gamble
against these odds! Be prepared.
Good winter equipment, extra
caution behind the wheel and slow
er speed will turn the odds in your
favor.
Here are few timely tips that
will help you win the battle against
winter traffic hazards:
1. "Get the feel" of the road sur
face when you start out.
2. Reduce speed when road sur
faces are snowy or icy so you can
stop in time. At 20 miles per hour,
it takes four to twelve times more
distance to stop on snow or ice

Birds Require Feed
During Cold Weather

When snow covers their usual
feed sources, birds remaining over
the winter around the house. must
depend upon feed placed out for
them, reminds County Agent Will
liam E. Tarbell. He suggests that
protected feeding stations be estab-
lished for the birds. Birds like a
variety of materials, many of which
can be supplied by most households
without extra expense. These in
ciude bones VIII metz attached

than on dry concrete. Slow down
well in advance of intersections or
curves and avoid following other
vehicles too closely.
8. Keep windshields and windows
clear of snow and ice on the out
side, fog and frost inside.
4. Use tire chains when snow or
ice conditions prevail. They reduce
braking distances from 40 to 20
per cent.
5. Drive with your lights on to
combat poor visibility in stormy or
foggy weather.

Neglect Costly Where
Repairs Are Necessary

A stitch in time saves nine-in
making repairs to buildings, an any
number of Kent County farmers
will attest. County Agent William
E. Tarbell reminds neglect means
deterioration and depreciation,
especially where roofs and founda-
tions are concerned. Neglect costs
more than repairs. When replacing
sills or posts, keep them off the
ground by using concrete founda-
tions or steel posts, or use pressure
treated lumber to insure against
rot and decay. Winter months aften
afford opportunity for doing inside
repair and construction work.
Changing the location of feed bins,
or building overhead bins for grav-
ity feed, can pay real dividends in
reduced chore time. The same can
be said for re-arrangement of pens
and ties for young stock and dry
cows.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAM
lilies OF KENT COUNTY

Frank Gordy, extension poultry
man for the University of Della
ware, comes up with two 1949 reso-
lutions for poultry producers. First,
to lower the mortality rate by:
Starting with only high quality
stock, Culling continuously, Keep
ing visitors out of houses and off
ranges, Calling a qualified patholo-
gist promptly if disease occurs, and
following his instructions, and
Burning or burying all dead birds.
The second resolution is to in
crease feed efficiency. This may be
done by: Using high quality feed,
Feeding for maximum production,
Storing feed properly, Filling
troughs no more than two-thirds
full, Controlling rats, Culling out
loafers, and Keeping down losses.
Supplies of superphosphate, a
major plant food, now are in
abundant supply for the first time
since 1941 and indications are that
farmers will have about 100000
tons for the 1948-49 season, or
more than enough to satisfy their
demands. This was announced re-
Gently by Clifton A. Woodrum,
president of the American Plant
Food Council.
It's the woman who holds the
financial reins as proved by statis-
tics that reveal that the fair sex
controls 20 to 80 per cent of the
nations wealth. Woman owns so
per cent of the stock in large COR
porations; 81 per cent of savings
bond deposits and make AZ per
cent of all income tax returns;
they do 85 per cent of the buying
for the home and family, and di-
rectly influence the other Is per
cent.

Squash and Tomato seeds. To ar
range to send an official assort-
ment, inquiry should be made of a

will accept orders and attend to all

planned to permit several sowings
