tors of agricultural production"
concludes DR.. Bausman. by in
creased capital we mean more and
better machinery, feed, seeds, fer
tilizers, and insecticides"
Research explains this increased
capital. Research explains the
tractor, the mechanical corn pick
er, the pickup hay baler. and the
grain combine. Research explains
hybrid corn, insecticides, disease
resistant varieties of crops, and
livestock vaccines.
Since World War 1, population
increases have about kept pace
with food production. Population
forecasts indicate about 40 million
more people in the u. S. by 1875.
This is about as many people as
the entire population of England.
How are they to be fed? DIR.
Bausman feels that countrywide
emphasis on the same means as

ital, and improved technology-by

Watch for special mention of the

vices in May. Delaware All boys

probably have some special activ-
ity to observe national All Sum

Delaware clubs will be observing

Samuel M. Gwinn, state All

Sunday is observed by church or
ganizations throughout the nation
to emphasize the meaning of Chris

Since World War I, food produc-

creased about so percent. How
has this phenomenal gain been ac-
complished? DIR. r. o. Bausman,
chairman of the University of Del
aware agricultural economics de-
partment, gives his answer.
Increased crop land is not the
explanation, crop land has remain
ed at about 400 million acres. Some
crop land has been reclaimed
through drainage and irrigation.
Other low-grade land has been
abandoned.
Increased labor is likewise not
the answer. The number of people
on farms has decreased relative
to total population and in absolute
numbers, from 80 percent in 1920
to 15 percent now. There are
about 10 million fewer people on
farms today than in 1920.
Increased capital must be the
explanation because land, labor,

1. Do not have flooring delivered
on rainy day, or have it exposed
to excessive moisture. If it does
get exposed to rain, or fog-don't
use it until thoroughly dry.
2. Do not lay flooring before
plaster or masonry is thoroughly
dry, because the lumber will absorb
the moisture.
8. Discard all badly crooked
boards, because they develop cracks
at each end and in the middle.
4. Prevent moisture absorption
by the flooring by exposing all sur
faces to the air for at least four
days before laying, and by keep
ing the house warm and dry.

last at least as long as the fence.
Such woods as black locust, red
cedar, catalpa, and Usage orange
make good posts without being
treated with awood preservation.
Steel posts are also recommended.
Second, says Bondurant, remem-
ber that proper workmanship is
necessary if the fence is to do its
job. Anchor line posts at least two
and one-half feet and corner posts
at least three and one-hal fleet in
the ground. End and corner posts
should be further reinforced by
braces and brace posts.
Place posts no further apart than
16la feet, preferably closer. Attach
the fence to the posts by wrapping
or strapling.
The third point to remember fol-
good fences is to check them regu-
larly. Now is a good time to dc
this. before turning the livestocR
out on pasture. Check older fences
reset bad posts, repair braces, re-
stretch sagging fences, restaplt
where necessary, add new wire il
needed, and repair gates.

stock in, but other livestock out

Breeding Year-Old Grade
Beef Heifers Doesn't Paw

Breeding year-old grade beef
heifers probably doesn't pay in the
long run. That's what experiments
done in the Midwest seem to prove,
says Bill Tarbell, Kent county ag-
ricultural agent.
The biggest reason for this is
that in most cases the value of the
extra calf will not equal the cost
of the extra feed and labor in rails
ing it, Bill explains. He points
out that in any event, yearling
heifers should not be bred unless
they are fed liberal grain rations
throughout the pregnancy. Such
ration helps them develop and
reach a size where they can calve
successfully and give enough milk
for the calf.
Even then, says Tarbell, these
Midwest experiments show that the
cost of the grain to get the heifer
in good condition offsets the value
of the extra calf.

Economist Sees United Poultry
Industry Good For Future

THE development of a new and
better broiler marketing program
is upper-most in the minds OF
many poultry industry leaders
now" says w. t. McAllister, mar
keting specialist of the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service.
McAllister sees a secure future
for the broiler industry if all seq
ments of the industry unite to
work on this common problem. "In
the long run, it means everyone's
beneft-the grower, professors
hatcherymen, feed dealers, drug
people, truckers, plant workers
and the others in Delaware who
benefit from a prosperous agricul-
ture."
The fact that Delaware has slip
ped in rank in broiler production
isn't important, McAllister feels.
He says the important thing is
that we continue as a strong
healthy industry-by emphasizing
broiler quality.
"Our Delaware broiler industry
is here to stay, but so is that of
Georgia, Maine, Indiana, and Ar
kansas in all probability. This
means that now and in future
years, our industry must adjust its
thinking to producing broiler
which will sell in competition with
those available from the other
areas"
81 am sure we are going to
change our ideas in time to pre-
vent any great loss in market
prestige" McAllister adds. II am
sure of it because of the great
number of people in this area who
have their personal fortunes stalk
ed to broiler growing, and because
we are beginning to work together
on the common problems"

Range VS.. Confinement
For Pullets

"Range or confinement rearing
of pullets is a controversial sub
ject," says George Vapaa, Associ-
ate Kent County Agricultural
Agent. Experiences with range
rearing in ocean county, s. j.,
might be of value to Delaware
poultrymen in deciding what to
do"
A survey on costs and perform
ance of pullets raised by the two
methods showed that it costs 25
cents less to raise pullet on
range than it does in confinement.
This includes fencing, piping wat
er, seeding and fertilizing, and all
other costs.
The birds in confinement usually
come into production week to ten
days earlier, according to the
Ocean county survey, but average
from u to u pound less in body
weight. The mortality during the
laying years is higher for the birds
reared in confinements, and egg
production is lower on the aver
age.
Losses from predatory animals
on the range probably discourage
some farmers, says Vapaa. But
the poultrymen in Ocean county
feel it is no worse than losses from
cannibalism in confinement. They
also say that respiratory diseases
seem worse in confinement reared
birds.
The survey figures were given by
Ocean county agricultural agent
Richard 'Dick" Hartman, at a re
cent New Castle county Delaware
Poultry Improvement Association
meeting. In Ocean county there
are 1000 poultry farms with 2,000,.
900 laying hens-75 percent O
which are raised on range and 2!
percent in confinement.

Home Builders Advised
To Watch Lumber Moisture

When it comes to new wood
floors, prevention is the only cure
for cracks, says Bill Tarbell, Kent
county agricultural agent. Quot
ing from a new U. S. Department
of Agriculture leafiet, Bill points
out that worping and cracks are
due to changes in moisture content
after the floors are laid.
The leafet says that most
changes in moisture content hap
pen after the flooring leaves the
lumberyard, and can be prevented
by the home builder. People who
have their homes built for them
can check as to whether their
builder follows these practices
too:
