aeckerman, Sirman Win Ten-Ton
Tomato Contest

Tomato Contest
Guy Lockerman of Middletown,
and Walter L. Sirman of Seaford,
were named state champion toma-
to growers by Governor Elbert N.
Earvel. They were among 65 Del
aware farmers who received GER
Eifcates for having grown ten tons
fSf tomatoes per acre at special
program during Farm and Home
Week at the University of Della
ware. Each of the growers was
presented with membership pin
in the Delaware Ten Ton Tomato
Club by the governor.
The highest yield in the state
was 21.5 tons per acre on 1913
acres, produced by Mr.. Lockerman.
The contest was divided into two
classes: one for farmers with over
g acres; the other for farmers with
from three to eight acres. Next in
line in the large acreage class were
w. H. Richter of Dover with 1872
tons per acre, and G. Lester Cleav-
er of Middletown with 1876 tons.
Sirman placed first in the three
to eight acre class with 20.7 tons
per acre on 5.3 acres. Next in that
class were William Konechah of
Dover with 20.6 tons, and c. J..
Smith, Bridgeville, with 1871 tons.
The first three winners in each
class received special prizes in ad-
dition to the certificates and pins.
During the session, both top win
ners outlined the methoos they had
used to the assembly of tomato
growers. Lockerman stressed the
need for good soil fertility pro-
gram, including a good cover crop,
sidedressing, and the use of starter
solutions. He also stated that with
out a complete spray program, his
yield would have been quite low.
Lockennan sprayed his tomatoes
eight times last summer, and got
excellent disease control.
Sirman, in talking to the grow
ers, pointed out the value of poul-
try manure in the soil fertility pro
gram. He got good control of in
sect pests by spraying seven times
with Dithane Z-78 and including
DDT when necessary.
Robert F. Stevens, horticulturist
of the University of Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service,
summed up survey made of all
the growers in this years contest.
He pointed out the Importance of
planting tomatoes early, spacing
to allow IL to Is square feet per
plant, and grading of plants before
Eransplanting.

ton awards were: Joseph Wild,

ing; S. H. Derby & Co., Woodside;

statue eventually will stand in the
center of the fountain which now
occupies the niche.
The model set in place is q

Democrats 10 Stress
Foreign Policy Issue
In 1852, Tobin Says
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, May 49,. Secretary
of Labor Maurice j. Tobin tonight
vigorously defended the admin
istration's foreign policy and de-
clared the Democrats intend to
make it "the main election issue
in 1882"
Mr.. Tobin bluntly warned the
Republicans Il know foreign pol
icy is. going to be the issue, be-
cause the party I belong to is go
ing to make it the issue"
He spoke at the second annual
Samuel Gompers dinner of the
Massachusetts Federation of La
Dor.
Mr.. Tobin declared the admin
istration's foreign policy "is one
of our greatest achievements. If
the Republicans want to attack
us where we're strongest, they're
going to have to accept the con-
sequences"
Mr.. Tobin said the foreign pol
icy has two major aims: ITO halt
the expansion of world Commu-
nism . and preserve the peace
of the world"

Court could not acknowledge it
had ever seen the child.
when that happens" said
Capt. Milliken, 1--WE have to act
in a vacuum. We're not inter-
ested in seeing records. We just
want to know what's best for the
child. We may make the wrong
decision for lack of information
and wreck all the good work
that's been done for the child"
Donald Gray. superintendent of
the Welfare Department. public
assistance division, reported that
while it is too early to calculate
the full effect of the order on
the divisions operations, the ef-
feet would appear at the moment
to be:
/. That it will take longer
period Of time to get information
as to the amount of the court
order placed against man in
non-suport clase involving an il
Legitimate child.
Information Will Be Slim.
2. The information the Public
Assistance Division can get now
will be Simmer than formerly. 1t
will be limited to the amount of
the court order. since the division
worker is forbidden to talk to the
Juvenile Court worker about the
man, the woman or the child.
Mr.. Gray said his Office is still
comforting with the Juvenile Court
on the quickest way of getting in
formation within the limits Judge
Cockrill has prescribed.
Meanwhile, the Salvation Army
reported. it is having to provide
relief in these cases because the
Public Assistance Division has
been slowed down by the new re-
quirement that keeps it from get
ting information it needs without
a court order.
Children's Division Hampered.
The Child Welfare Division of
the Welfare Department reported
that it previously was able to get
full information about child
weeks before the child was COM
mitted to the Board of Public
Welfare. With that information,
the board could decide whether
the child would be best cared for
in a foster home or a public or
private institution.
Now. the vital information is
not forthcoming until the child
actually is committed. Leora G..
