Beware! MOldy
SiIage May Mean
Forage Poisoning

Moldy silage and mOldy feed can
cause death or sickness in dairy
cattle.
This sickness. usually diagnosed
as forage poisoning, is due to poi
sons produced by the mold and not
the mold itself. says Delmar ].
Young. dairy specialist with the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service.
Occasionally, poisoning is caused
by feed contaminated by the bacter-
IA which causes bOtulism in hui
mans. Research men at Illinois
have found these bacteria in sam
pies of spoiled silage, cOrnfodder,
Oat hay, wheat bran, wheat screen
ings, rice meal and oats. They re-
port that while the dangerous feed
is often obviously spoiled and
mOldy, in some cases it was normal
in appearance.
The best preventative, is not tC
use the feed that is mOldy or spoil
ed. says Young.
Symptoms of forage poisoning
are: cattle go off feed, drop in pro
ductiOn, appear sick. and within q
hours go down. Death may occur
within 36 hours.
To date, advises Young, the hes
aid you can give is to call your vet
/ erinarian at the first symptoms.

Gull Hens Constantly
For Bigger Egg Profits

A hen that lays 200 eggs a year
needs five pounds of feed to pro-
duce a dozen eggs. A hen that lays
100 eggs a year needs eight pounds
of feed to make that dozen eggs.
According to Frank GOrdy, En-
tension Poultryman at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, constant cUlling
is one of the best ways poultry
farmers have of cutting their feed
costs and boosting egg profits.
Use of flash light at night when
birds are rOOsting." says GOrdy. Ito
pick out the birds with shriveled
combs and empty crops. Be on the
lookout for birds that are just
naturally poor layers. And get rid
of male birds you don't need"
One good way to keep you culling
the egg producing flock, that GOrdy
has suggested, is to develop a mar
ket for meat birds. Then you'll be
forced to Gull at least every week
10 take care of the demand.
For complete instructions on how
to Gull chickens, see your county
agricultural agent. He'll be glad to
( give you an illustrated booklet on
/ culling the laying flock.

Blue Hen Post Is
Given High Honor
CONTINUED from first pagel

NNN-AN--4N~e
nouncement to this effect was made
this week by Harold 6. o. Hick of
Kansas City, Mo-. national mem
bership director of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
AS of December 81, Blue Hen
Post had collected and remitted
1852 dues for 2S9 members or four
teen more than the posts previous
all-time high of 275 members.
Since that date, fourteen additional
new members have been added and
1852 dues have also been collected
from quite a few continuous or re-
instated members. However, the
figures of December 81 we're used
in selecting the Delaware post to
be given designation of "POst-of-
the-MOnth" and District Command
er David Hugg, with the approval
| of the proper Delaware Department
officers, nominated Blue Hen Post
for this additional honor. Mr.
Rick's confirmation of the designa'
ton was contained in a letter re-
ceived by the district No. 3 com.
mander this week.

Bureau of the Census.
Miss Mildred r. Spencer, chief
statistical clerk, division of vital
statistics Delaware State Board of
Health, stated that in 1910, at the
time of the first test, 97.4 per cent
of Delaware births were registered.
The 1850 test shows that registra-
ton of Delaware babies is 99.2 per
cent complete. This 1850 figure
places Delaware among % states
and the District of Columbia with
Registrations over SO per cent COM
plete.
The state breakdown shows Kent
County with 100 per cent registra-
ton followed closely by the City of
Wilmington with 1913 per cent, rur-
al New Castle County and Sussex
Counties show 97.7 and 974 per cent
respectively. In 1910 the national
figures showed 92.5 per cent regis
tratiOn while the 1850 figures have
gone up to 97.S per cent.
The main purpose of the nation
wide test, which was timed to take
advantage of the 1850 decennial
census in April, was to measure the
completeness of birth registration
in states and local areas on COM
parable basis. The results will help
registrars to spot the problem areas
where registration failures occur
too often and to determine the rea-
son for such failures. A fOllOw-uI
for the few unregistered births in
Delaware will be undertaken by the
state registrar.

"The production goals present

ter is very much interested in the
expansion of library service in the

In order to supplement the IL

it possible for the Library Commits
sion for the State of Delaware to
purchase a large bookmobile which
will be operated in addition to the
two bOOkmObiles that give library
service to rural borrowers.
This large bOOkmobile will serve
as a station in the towns which dc
not have libraries. AS soon as the
schedule is set up. it will be sta
toned at a given point at a regu-
lar time, so that residents of the
towns may borrow from q large
