Facts for the 1850 Corn Yield
Contest for the Harrington area
were gathered Saturday by the
judges who were William Tarbell
County Agent, w. e. Mitchell, ex-
tension agronomist Of The Uniyer-
sity Of Delaware, and George Va
paa, vo-ag teacher at Harrington
School. Results will be announced
at later date following the COM
pletiOn Of moisture tests and soil
analysis in the laboratory Of the
University.
Farmers and Future Farmer boys

ing part In the program include
ElWoOd Gruwell, Billy BOwdle, son
Of Russell Bowdle, Harold Venable,
son Of Garnet Venable, Raymond
Welch, Jr., son Of Raymond WEIGH,
Robert /Yoder, grandson Of Abra.
ham Yoder, and Charles Roy Reed,
son Of Whitley Reed.
The contest is for the largest
yield Of corn on any selected s.
acre plot Of ground on the farm.
Yields are obtained on dry weight
basis so that the results Of all
fields can be compared. The meth
cd is to weigh samples in differ
ent parts Of a plot. A sample Is
measured by tapping 1915 feet be-
tween two rows, counting the
stalks and the ears, husking out
and weighing the ears, taking a few
kernels Of corn for the moisture
test, and a soil sample for the soil
test. The eight samples are com
bined for the average test of
yield, moisture and soil analysis.
The farmer is asked to tell how
the plot was treated with lime,
fertilizer, and manure, what crop
produced the. corn, and what he
expects to follow the corn with.
The University hopes to gather
sufficient facts to be able to recon-
mend even better crop yields in the
state.
Farmers in the contest will ex-
hibit bushel Of their corn in the
Crop Improvement Show at New
ark in January. Other farmers not
in the contest, but who might like
to exhibit their corn in the show,
are encouraged to contact the az
department of the Harrington
School for further information.

New Vertical Blinds Serve Functions in Home
By Gladys Miller
Secretary. New York Chapter,
American Institute Of Deecroiors

The adage nothing new under
the SUM- may be true, but occa-
sionally something is developed
for our use that looks definitely
new. The vertical blinds for win
dowS is one.
These blinds serve three func-
tions. They provide privacy. they
can be adjusted to direct the
light. and if desired, they can
be. hung with draperies. or to take
the place of both shades, cur
tains and draperies.
These blinds are made up of
vertical strips of faille-like wash
able fabric called "cellanese null
ticord.'" The panels are extremely
resistant to dirt and dust, and
when laundry is necessary, they
can can be removed, washed and
hung back at the windows in just
minutes.
Can Divide Room Areas.
The mechanism for adjustments
is at both the top and bottom of
the window space. 1t may be
placed at ceiling to floor. or at
top of window trim to floor or
sill.
These blinds may also be used
to divide room areas, setting apart
the dining section from the living
side Of the room. In this case, they
hang from the ceiling to the
floor, in any desired width and
up to II feet in length.
The strips are edged so that,
when open, they provide a clear
vision and add length to the
room. When closed they insure
complete privacy. They take the
place of a wall when used as q
partition.
In Many Colors.
The material comes in a wide
variety of colors so you can create
any type of room atmosphere
desired. The color can match the
walls and can contrast not only
with the wall, but, if the blinds
are to take the place of draperies
as well as shades and curtains,
the strips at either side of the
window may be in a darker color,
or a contrasting color to the
strips hung over the window.
These blinds are appropriate in
Evening star., 1950-10-14

rooms furnished in either the
traditional or modern styles. They
WILL. though, add contemporary
note of freshness to the room.
The material has soft pleas
ing texture. which takes away any
hardness the straight. taught
vertical lines might otherwise
have. 1t is well to plan a cornice
to cover the mechanism at the
top. Also, these blinds should be
installed by experienced people,
although removing and replacing
the strips for laundering is sim
pie, and good workman can
easily hang the mechanical de-
vice. e
This perfectly engineered blind
combines beauty, function, sim
plicity with economy for today's
home.
