the great pioneer of progress

any one person in the history

Field Size, shape, May
Save Work

A good farm layout can save
both time and labor, says William
E. Tarbell, Kent County Agricul-
tural Agent.
Rectangular farm fields, about
three times as long as they are
wide are recommended. Research
shows that this layout cuts down
the number of stops and turns that
have to be made while working the
land.
I'VE would not recommend such
field layout in hilly areas, but in
Kent County where most of our
land is fiat, farmers would find
these one by three proportion fields
most economical.
Changing over from your pres
ent field layout might be a prob
lem since there are few times
when none of the land is in a crop.
Try changing one or two fields at
a time, Tarbell suggests. Making
a complete drainage system on
your farm is an opportunity to
change your field layout, too.

An outstanding All Field Crops
record yielded state honors to
Oliver Hastings, 19 of Delmar.
Living on the 55-acre farm of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter w.
Hastings, he put to good use the
skill and know-how gained during
years in field crops. Keeping
farm machinery in top-notch con-
dition and careful selection and
treatment of seed were some of
the better farm practices learned.
The project which stands out most
in his All Club work is a two
acre test field of hybrid corn on
which he tried out new adopted
methods. In 1852 he had 20 acres
of corn and has won several blue
ribbons on his products. Through
his club activity Oliver has found
his life work; he plans to raise
grain and livestock. International
Harvester provided his award of
a trip to Club Congress.
Dolores Lloyd, 16, of Newark,
state All poultry winner, has made
a pleasant and constructive All
project pay off. With the special
ized knowledge and training
gained, she was able to raise Cor
nish-Hampshire chicks by infrared
heat this year. She discovered,
during two years in the project,
that this is the best heat to use
in the brooder, and her chickens
always sell very well. Marketing
fowl has taught Dolores how to
dress and cut-up a chicken. Dem
onstrations on the care of chick
ems, food value of eggs, and egg
judging have won her awards.
Dolores also found time to serve
as president of her local club.

Betty Lee Cannon, IL, of Green
wood, has an enviable record of
achievement in the All Clothing
project. She has made total of
lit garments, varying from pin
cushions and aprons to faille dress
and wool suit. AS Delaware winner
in the clothing program, The Spool
Cotton, Company made possible
Betty Lees trip to the Chicago
Club Congress. Each of the five
years in this project, this young
homemaker has increased the
amount and quality of her work.
BY making a clothing inventory,
keeping clothing records and per-
sonal expenses, she learned the
principles of a planned wardrobe.
Her clothing demonstration at
county All Achievement Day won
first place. Serving as president of
her local club, she is also vice
president for the first All county
council.
Tops in the Girls Record pro-
gram for Delaware, Anna Marie
Robb, 10, Dover, will compare
notes with other top homemakers
at the Chicago All Club Congress.
AS guest of Montgomery Ward,
she will join record-making girls
from all parts of the country for
good times, exciting experiences,
and serious discussion. Sound
planning and plain hard work, dur
ing eight years in All was Anna
Maries successful formula. In her
clothing project, this young seam
stress has made 43 garments rang
ing from aprons to silk and wool
dresses. She also canned 354
quarts of tomatoes, fruits and veg
etables and S3 glasses of jelly.
Along with this she has prepared
many dishes, including quick
breads, mullins, meats and des-
serts. She raised 200 hens and 200
broilers and planted and cultivated
10 varieties of vegetables in the
family garden.

from an injury and barnyard

BLOAT LOSSES?

Y: Which farm animals are most

process of fermentation in the ru-

@: How can bIoat be prevented?
A: Pastures may be sown with
a mixture of half grass and half
legumes. This combination will
usually give the COW enough
roughage to help prevent bloating.
Q: What other preventive meas
ures are there?
A: If pasturing legumes only,
farmers should feed their cattle
hay before putting them on pas

forestall bloating. Otherwise, ami

The Legislative Assembly

yesterday afternoon with

Council were present.
AS customary, Governor de
Castro delivered his message
in which he expressed regret
that the session was called to
enact legislation applicable to
the Islands as a whole, at this
time when developments of
the past few months have
seemed to spell a lack of unity,
rather than to point to the
need for more unity. Budget
airy and legislative differences,
such as the amount of contri-
button by each municipality to
our insular tourist develop
ment program, and the pro-
rating Of the cost Of printing
at the Government Printing
Office in S. Thomas, have re-
suited in marked tension.

pressed the hope that these

appear as the need IS demon
strated for the enactment Of
