of Articles on Dairying
During the next five weeks there
will be an article on the essentials
for efficient dairy farming appear
in this paper. The material and
suggestions given will be prepared
by Bill Tarbell, Kent County Agri-
cultural Agent. Tarbell begins this
series with the following: "Devel-
ope A Feed-Production Program"
Every dairyman should develop a
feed-production program, based IN
grassland crops, that will provide
an adequate and balanced feed sup
ply for the herd. Homegrown feeds
especially pasturage and other for
ages, are the cheapest and best
feeds for dairy cat,ls. Such feeds
can provide the essential nutrients
for liberal milk production. Plan
for ample long-season grazing,
abundant supplies of high-quality
forage, and enough grains TO sup
plement the roughages and balance
the ration.

Snap Beans Good Home
Garden Crop

Both yellow and green snap
beans will produce a bog crop, in
a short time, on small spaces.
"And you can have a continuous
supply of fresh ones from July to
october, by planting about every
three weeks" says Robert F. Stew
ents, horticulturist of the Delaware
Agriculture Extension Service.
Green snap bean recommended
varieties are: Stringless Green Pod,
Tender Green, Improved Logan,
Tender Pod, Topcrop, and Con-
tender.
Wax, or yellow, bean recon-
mended varieties are: Pencil-pod
Wax, Golden Wax, Round Pod Kid
ney Wax, and Cherokee.
Kentucky Wonder is a good va
riety of pole snap beans for Della
ware conditions.
The green beans have more vita
minis than the yellow, says Stevens,
but the yellow ones add variety.
Snap beans are not particular
about soil. Any well-drained soil,
not too acid, will produce a good
crop. Fertilizer is best applied in
bands about three inches either
side of the seed and deeper than
the seed. Stevens suggests the all
purpose vegetable garden fertilizer
5-10-10, at the rate of 1 pound for
% feet of row. Sidedressing dur
ing the season will increase the
crop.
The one bad pest of snap beans,
the Mexican bean beetle, can be
controlled by dusting often with
rotenone.

Crop inspect Survey and
Warning Service in State

Delaware is taking part in the
1852 cooperative insect-pest sur
vey and reporting service. This is
nationwide, and includes federal,
state, and industrial agencies.
DR.. L. A. Stearns, head of the
University of Delaware entomology
department describes the service as
: means of keeping farmers
throughout the country forewarned
of insect conditions. Delaware has
cooperated in similar surveys for 8
years, by publishing a weekly news
letter, Late News About Insects
and Diseases.
The 1852 cooperative warning
service, which started May 2, will
be more complete. 1t will cover
more crops, with reports from
more people, and will issue weekly
a warning letter to state entomol-
ogists and insecticide manufacture
ers. When emergencies arise,
warnings will be sent from nation
al headquarters by wire.
Defense-wise. the survey organ
ization will provide the skeleton or
ganization needed for protection
against biological warfare if the
occasion arises.
Delaware's reporting and warn
ing service news letter is designed
primarily for large-scale commerce
ial growers. 1t reports on growing
conditions, on insects found in the
state each week, and recommends
control treatments. However, it
does include information on orna-
mentals and most home-garden
vegetables.

Safety Figures To Give
You a jolt

How safe are You? You might
well wonder, after looking at fig
ures from the National Safety
Council on farm and home acci-
dents, says Miss Louise R. Whit
comb, safety and home manage
ment specialist with the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service.
For instance, sixty people are
killed by falls every day. The ma
tional death toll from falls is ex-
ceeded only by accidental motor
deaths. This could be caused by
disorder. A recent Council study
of hospitalized home accident cases
showed that the largest single
cause of injuries, other than poor
judgment, was disorder,
Ninety million dollars worth Of
property is lost annually from farm
6res.
Three out of four farmers are
risking their lives, their families,
and their property by permitting
unnecessary fire hazards around
the farm.
Farm people make up only one
tenth of the population but have
more fatal work accidents than
any major industry.
Machinery accidents account for
almost half of the farm accidents
occurring at work. Falls and hand
tools are next in Importance.
TITS not too late to start a
spring cleanup campaign on your
farm and in your own farm home" !"
says Miss Whitcomb. "a neat
place is safe place. Try not to
be a farm accident statistic that
will help put agriculture on top of
the accident list again next year."

Take half a broiler, lay it skin
side down on an oiled broiler rack.
Broil for Is minutes, turn the piec-
es so that the skin side, is up
brown well and you'll have a de-
lectable meat for dinner. Broilers
are in good supply just now so the
price is worthy of your considera-
tion. Your frequent use of them is
recommended and the first reason
is because they make most ap-
petizing dish.
The real broiling process brings
out the natural taste Of the bird.
This method is preferred for the
young tender birds, Covering their
flavor with crumbs and fat is to
lose the features that make broil-
ers such a distinct type Of meat.

Things To Do

Determine land capabilities, nave
your soil tested, follow good land
use practices, and grow crops suit
ed to the soil and climatic condi-
tions.
Use suitable crop rotations to
provide the pasturage, harvested
forages, and grain needed.
Grow high-quality legumes or
grass-legume mixtures for grazing
and for harvesting as hay or silage.
Grow plenty of corn, grass and
lcgumes FOR silage.
Grow enough grain, especially
corn, to provide the major part of
the concentrate ration.
Use improved and adapted va
rieties of the crops grown.
Use lime, manure, and chemical

Weeds Or Corn?

If you're going to grow a crop of
weeds on your field, don't waste
time and money on corn.
That's the way University of
Delaware agronomist Claude E.
Phillips feels. Says Phillips,
weeds rob corn of air, sunshine
and plant food. Cultivation can
control weeds, and 2, AID can cut
down needed cultivation"
An early start is half the battle.
A weeder or rotary hoe can often
be used to kill small weeds before
the corn is big enough for a culti-
vahor. Three or four civilizations

The vegetable gardener has just
about finished the seasons chores
with the exception Of harvesting
and storing late maturing crops.
There is still time to put in a
planting of spinach, knowing that
the young plants will live over
winter and produce an early
spring crop next year. The stor-
ing of vegetables for winter use
lis a job to tax the ingenuity of
the gardener, but it, can be done.
Warm dry storage for sweet pota-
toes and pumpkins: cool dry for
onions, cool and moist for pota-
toes. carrots, beets, and parsnips.
Cabbage is best stored in. the
garden in a trench. Parsnips may
be left undug until needed.
AS each row or section of the
garden is vacated it should be
planted with a cover crop, both
to protect and to enrich the soil
SO that it will produce better har-
vests next year. At this season
we may still plant rye-grass, vetch
and rye. The earlier they are
seeded the better protection they
will give to the soil this winter.

Fall Fertilization
Aids Small Fruits

All small fruit plants, particu-
larly strawberries. will respond to
a fall application of complete fer
tilizer.
Bruce Aroian, associate horticul-
turist at VPI. says for average soils
and growing conditions, apply a
regular garden fertilizer, such as
5-10-5. or 4-12-4. at the rate of
from 400 to 800 pounds per acre,
or 3 to S pounds per 100 feet of
row. Apply the fertilizer directly
to strawberry plants when they
are dry and then brush it of. On
all other small fruits, broadcast
the fertilizer between the rows, at
the same rate.

Fall-plant hybrid tea roses have
all winter to establish root
system without making top growth.
In spring, planting is usually de-
Ilayed, either because the soil can
not be prepared or the stock Ii
late in arriving.
Planted late, after the tempera.
ture has risen. the plant starts
to grow at the top before it has
a root system developed in the
soil. This frequently results in
the death Of the plant and disap-
pointment.
Therefore, if you intend to plant
roses, do it in fall. You cannot
get stock until the leaves have
matured-usually mid-November.
Prepare the soil well, using orr
ganic matter and lime If needed.
Set the plant at the proper depth
and firm the soil we'll about the
roots or puddle it in. This means
ito dig the hole large enough so
the roots can be spread out.
Place the plant and I'LL the hole
about half full Of soil. Then pour
in a bucketful of water. This will
settle the soil about the roots.
After the water has filtered down,
fill the hole with soil.

Bulb beds should be prepared q

whenever possible. This is to give
the deeply prepared soil time to

Bulb beds should be deeply pre-
pared if the bulbs are to be placed
at the recommended depths, that's
six inches or more for tulips,
daffodils and lilies. Put the humus

ing after the tops mature or are
killed by frost helps to reduce in
lection Of the corms by soil-borne
diseases. especially during rainy
periods. The corms should be
given a short period, not exceed
ing two weeks, Of high tempera-
ture for quick curing before the
|cornns are cleaned. When cleaned
and treated for thrips they should
be stored in q situation Of 40 de-
grees or lower. Higher tempera-
lures deplete stored food reserves
more quickly, favor thrips and
induce premature sprouting.
Vegetable growers should pre-
pare the coldframe now to re-
ceive. just ahead Of frost, un-
harvested Chinese cabbage, eel
cry and lettuce. BY moving the
plants into the cold frame fresh
green vegetables may be harvested
until early December. Put q few

AS soon as frost kills the as

and put in compost pile or burn.
This is to destroy the winter home
of the asparagus beetle and to
prevent unwanted asparagus

Most seedlings are useful, but they

Don't be in q rush to reseed the
old lawn-chances are that there
are plenty of bluegrass plants
there and that all is needed to
produce good turf for fall and

many grass plants per square

Fewer plants will make a better
showing. Spread IS to IS pounds
of q 5-10-5 fertilizer. per 1000

The fruit trees usually respond
to a fall application of fertilizer.
