 It applies to all highway ship ments which heretofore have trav- eled across the British bizone into the Soviet zone from countries lille Belgium, Frahcer Switzerland, The Netherlands, Lux ombourg and Denmark.
 According to the official an- nouncement it was ordered because of restrictions placed by the Rus sians on travel.
 Up to now, although Britain and the United States have closed their borders to the Soviet zone to goods from western Germany, they have allowed shipments from the neighboring countries to pass.
 The move was another effort of the west to tighten the economic squeeze on the Soviet zone in re- taliation fer the blockade on Ber- lin.

BUDGET NEEDS OCCUPY BOARD
 OF EDUCATION

At their biennial meeting which opened Tuesday, the five members of the Territorial Board of Edu- cation are continuing their careful review of the school budget for 1949-51, on which recommendations to the Legislature are based.
 Before voting on recommenda- tions for the Support of Schools funds, the Board agreed to take cut two items for new construc- tion, and to present them to the legislature in a separate bill.
 The Board voted to present to the Ways and Means Committee of the House, and the Senate's Fiji nance Committee a recommends ton for $5136,953.30 to be dis tributed as follows: City and h. corporatad School Districts, $3,562,- o5330; Rural Schools, $1,200,000; Payment of Tuition, $74,000, and Transportation, $300,00O.
 The recommendation for opera ton of the office of the Commis- sioner Of Education is to be for Sl34,755.7O.
 Considerable attention was given to the necessity TOT additional sup ervisory service, and it is hoped by the Board that this need may be met.
 Previously, the Board had voted to appoint Everett R. Erickson as Deputy Commissioner of Educati ton. This position was created in the '20s by Legislative action. The vacancy was caused by the resig- nation of Dr. K. c. Robinson from that post in September.

Smyrna times., 1949-09-29

The 1O1 farms inspected on the
survey were rated as to storage
conditions. Protection from insect
infestations alone was considered.
On no farms were storage condi-
tions considered excellent, and only
three were rated very good. The
majority of farms had fair to poor
storage conditions. Insects had
caused great damage to stored
grain on Id farms, while this dam
age was often due to last years
grain, insects were already pre-
senting a menace to newly-stored
grain. On 20 farms surveyed, in
sects were no problem at all, but
ON 81 farms serious insect infesta-
tions were a distinct possibility.
In an effort to assist farmers in
combating grain insects, recon-
mendations for fumigation and
otherwise improving storage condi-
tions are being mailed this week to
10000 farmers throughout Della
ware. Copies of the recommenda-
tions and additional information
on grain insect control are also
available from the Department OF

Need for Better Grain Storage
Revealed by Statewide Survey
Delaware's grain farmers who
are having to rely on their own
farm storage facilities because OF
lack of central grain storage space
are faced with possibility of seri-
Gus losses due to insect damage.
A survey recently completed by
the University of Delaware's De-
partment of Entomology shows
that insects are attacking newly
stored grain, and serious infesta-
tions are developing on many
farms.
Insect infestations were fewest
and Hghtest in New Castle County
and greatest and heaviest in Sus-
sex County, due partly to the ear
/ lier harvesting of grain in Sussex
County, giving the insects more
time to build up populations. In
addition, the farmers in Kent and
New Castle Counties who grow
grain mostly for sale realize more
fully the damage insects can do,
especially after having had the
price cut once because of the pres
ence of insects or insect damage.
