NEW A. F. GIANT

The Air Force has cargo plane that puts the
largest freight in the understanding to the reports
The plane. known the Ltmaster can haul over 10000
pounds OF cargo 1000 miles nonstop and at speed
of 225 miles hour. Thus the giant cargo plane
can make many trips the Atlantic or Pacific oceans
In short period of time In fact plans call for the aircraft
to hop the Atlantic at least eight times month on cargo
runs.
The commissioning of this plane lends emphasis to the
trend which is in progress to arhop and supplies and
even heavy equipment in large-scale thanking operations
1t is widely expected that such air giants as this craft and
others already in operation and projected will play vital
role in any large land in which the United States be-
comes embroied in future years.
Recent tests in the United States in which aircraft
carried heavy weapons and vehicles hundreds miles to
theatre cfsupposed operations showed that the USAF
was Just entering the dawn of era which might see an
entire army dropped out of the sky either behind or
pletey on the flank of opponent The largest operations
Of this kind carried out by the United States and
Great Britain during the last war; in September of 1914
and March of 1945
Unfortunately In the former operation British di-
vision not reinforced in time chewed pieces but the
failure not attributed to any failure of the ardrop
There are also indications that larger drop would have
succeeded in that Planes like Lmaster are sure to
increase the size of such drops in the future.

Creeping Alfalfa Good,
But Not in Delaware

Creeping alfalfa has been in
farm news often lately, and is be-
ing given a big push.
1t is excellent for range lands
in the Great Plains, but it is not
necessarily suited to Delaware
conditions. That's the opinion of
william H. Mitchell, assistant
agronomist of the Delaware Agri-
cultureal Extension Service. Sew
eral varieties of alfalfa are being
grown and rated by the agronomy
department, two of which are Sew
elra and Nomad. These are two
of the creeping alfalfas which have
made the news. The Extension
Service recommends the wilt re-
sistant Buffalo for long time
stands and adapted common alfal-
fas for stands intended for short
er duration. These will give Del
aware farmers good stands and
yields.
The story behind creeping alfal-
ia is a dramatic one, and has been

Farm and Home Week

The ninth annual Farm and
Home Week at the University of
Delaware has been set for Febru-
airy % to 26, 1858. The announce
ment was made yesterday by
George M. Worrilow, Director of
the University's Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station and Extension
Service.
This college week for farm
families" will feature the latest in
formation on agriculture and home
economics. Demonstrations, ex-
hibits, discussions, and talks will
provide information on every kind
of farming in Delaware, as well
as ideas for a richer home and
community life.
''The program, this year, is be-
ing built according to recommen-
dations of Delaware Farmers and
homemakers," said Director Wor-
rilow. II would like to invite
every Delawarean to join the Uni
versity staff in this annual activ-
ity."

Dollars Hit New Low

If you have trouble making
cheap dollars pay big bills, you'll
be interested in knowing just what
the dollar is worth today. The
cost of things people buy hit a
new high in August, 1852, which
means the value of the dollar hit
a new low.
In comparison with the 1953-39
period the dollar today is worth 81
cents, says w. T. McAllister, ex-
tension marketing specialist. In
1947 the buying power of a dollar
was So cents, and ten years ago,
1912, the figure was Sc cents.
''This is imitation" say McAllis-
ter. 'qThe number of dollars in
circulation have increased faster
than the supply of things that dol
lars buy. Imitation doesn't affect
all commodities or all people alike.

f1ation helps to redistribute the
wealth but it does not mean a real
gain in the national standard of

Too Much Lime
Nav Hurt Soil

Over-liming may cause potash
deficiency in soils, especially fl
you don't use enough potash fer
tilizer.
Lime lessons soil acidity by
chemically replacing acid in the
soil. But the calcium may replace
potash, too, says Leo ]. Cotnoir,
of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station agronomy de-
partment.
Potash can also be lost through
natural drainage" explains Cot
noir. That makes it important
not to add potash fertilizers too
far ahead of planting. Through
teaching and chemical action, the
potash might not be available by
the time plants need it.
Cotnoir recommends soil testing
as a sure way to know the right
amount of lime and potash to ap-
ply. A soil test will tell you
about acidity (pH) and available
potash figures. At the same time,
agronomists will make recommen-
dations for the crop you intend to
grow on that soil.
Soil tests are free to people who

Experience Puts State
BrOiler Farmers Ahead

Experience and know-how will
help Delaware poultrymen COM
pete successfully with growers in
other areas in the year ahead, says
Frank Gordy, extension poultry
specialist at the University of Del
aware.
Gordy points out that there are
lots of eggs in storage, and current
egg prices are expected to get no
better, and maybe lower. Broiler
prices are fairly strong, and poul-
try health is good, but many grow
ers are worried about respiratory
diseases. Under this mixed set Of
conditions ne recommends:
No large scale expansion.
Repair houses and equipment.
Don't crowd-allow at least "a
square foot per chick started.
Practice sound management pro-
cedure.
Pay close attention to details.
Everyone should be more con-
cerned about the entire field of

phasizes. "We must increase our
efficiency Of production, and give
greater attention to even higher

Adapting Plants To Machinery

Plant breeders are now adapting
crop plants to machinery. Breed
ers have already whitfield the sor-
ghum plant down in size to fit the
grain combine. They have devel-
oped small grains with stronger
stems that stand up straight and
wait for the combine. They have
developed sturdier shanks on hy-
brid corn and put the ears at an
event height to fit corn pickers.
And they have managed to lift the
pods higher on the soybean plant
to fit the combine. Now they are
working on adapting the cotton
plant to machines and the chem
ical age, says the USDA Agricul-
tural Research Administration.

Assigned To Represent Improved
Stud Service in Local Area

SJuu SERVICE In LOCAL. Area
Richard E. Phillips of Middle
town has been assigned to work as
a herd technician for the Curtiss
Candy Farms Improved Stud Ser
vice in the Kent County area.
Phillips recently completed an
intensive three-week training
course at the Curtiss Candy farm
at Cary, Illinois. The Curtiss
school is the only one of its kind
in the country for training tech
nicians in the artificial insemina-
tion of COWS.
In addition to learning the prin-
ciples of the breeding program car
ried on at Curtiss, Phillips was in
structed in such subjects as: the
basic anatomy of cow, the tech
nique of breeding, the Importance
and relationship of timing to sue
cessful conception. All practice
breeding was done on live cows so
that Phillips now has actual exper-
ience for his work. College agri-
cultural professors spoke as guest
lecturers.
Phillips received his certificate
of graduation from Otto Schnering
founder and president of the Curt
iss Candy Company. In his talk
at the commencement ceremony,
Mr.. Schnering traced the 10 year
history of the Curtiss Candy farms
its development of foundation
herds in the five major dairy
breeds and two beef breeds, as well
as the farms work with Yorkshire
hogs, broiler chickens, ducks, turk
eys and trout.
Mr.. Schnering pointed out thai
the average on the more 600 pro
duction records of the immediate
dams behind the 100 bulls in the
Curtiss service is 15,051 lbs. ot
milk, 673 lbs. butterfat and As pei
cent test. This, he said shows that
Curtiss Candy bulls carry the in
heritance to outproduce the nation
al average by three times or, ex'
actly, by 10,054 lbs. milk, ATS lbs
butterfat. Genetically, this means
that Curtiss Candy bulls have the
ability to TRANSMIT one-half or sc
percent of this production to theil
offspring.
In artificial breeding, Curtiss is
the only organization with its owl
farms, with it's own foundation
herds to produce it's own hero
sires from its own great COW fam
lilies. Phillips will offer both Stut
Pool Matings and Selected Mat
ings. Stud Pool Mating are thost
to a bull available at the time oi
call for service, without previous
selection. Selected matings arr
planned matings of a particular
bull to a certain cow ataspecif1et
time or date.
Phillips invites all farmer
breeders to visit the Curtiss Candy
farm where they can see the sires
they will use, as well as the sires
and dams, grandsires and grandan
great grandsires and granddams
and other related members of the
family. It is an opportunity tc
know everything possible about
each of the sires and to see how
little is left to chance.
