MORE FARMERS
GET S. S. CREDIT
Large Number of Delaware
Farm Families Now Under
Insurance Protection
URGED TO GET DETAILS

Two years of properly reported
farm work has given insurance
protection to large numbers of
Delaware farm families, according
to Myron Milbouer, manager of the
Wilmington social security Office.
Beginning with 1851, many farm
workers in the State began to re-
ceive social security credit toward
old-age and survivors insurance
payments. Milbouer pointed out
that most farm operators are fam
iliar with the present provisions of
the social security law that apply
to agricultural employees but some
farm workers may not be receiv-
ing proper credit for their employ
ment due to misunderstanding of
these provisions. The local man
ager explained that only those
farm workers who are regularly
employed can get social security
credit for their work. This means
that the farm worker must be en-
ployed by farmer from the begin
ming to the end of calendar quart
er, which is known as a qualify
ing quarter" Following this "qual-
flying quarter" the worker gets
social security credit for his earn
ings if he stays with the same
farmer and works for him on go
or more days for cash wages of
$50 or more in each following
quarter. Milbouer cautioned all
farm workers to get complete in
formation about their farm work
under social security from the
County Agriculture Agent or from
the local social security office. He
pointed out that credit for regular
farm work cannot be given unless
the employer reports it. For the
convenience of local residents, a
representative of the Wilmington
office is in the Delaware Employ

Poultry Industry Needs More
College Trained Workers
Rv DIR Ernest r. Waller


Chairman. University of Delaware,
Dept. of Animal and Poultry
Industry.
The great broiler industry in
Delaware is rapidly developing
into mature and stable part of
our agriculture program. There
is an adequate supply of excellent
poultry producers in the area, but
the number of technically trained
men to service this multimillion
dollar endeavor is far short of our
needs.
The enterprises that service this
industry are continually seeking
men with college training to rep
resent them in this area. Such
men may work with the makers of
feed, equipment, drugs, vaccines,
hatcheries or poultry and egg pro-
cessors. In most instances these
beginning positions are only step
ping stones to bigger and better
things. There are at least four

This Is Year OF The
I7-Year Cicada

A little advance warning may
head off wild excitement this
month, over the 17-year periodical
cicada. One of the largest broods
technically known as brood x, is
scheduled to appear in the east in
late spring and early summer, says
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
Brood x is the largest single
brood in the east, and has been re-
ported from Alabama northward,
through to Vermont, and as far
west as eastern Illinois, and even
Wisconsin.
The noisy insects seem to come
by night, as if from nowhere. One
morning, you can find the cicada's
pupal cases on tree trunks, twigs,
and leaves. There will be the new
cicadas, milky white and red-eyed,
nearby. The males appear first,
and the females join them in few
days. Their shells harden and
take on duller color, but their
eyes remain red. The males soon
become vocal, and render song"
after song.
The periodical cicada is not of
major economic Importance. Only
when the female gets ready to lay
her eggs does she get in a really
destructive lick at mankind. Then,
in areas where the insects are
most numerous, young fruit trees
and grape vines can be seriously
damaged. When the female lays
her eggs, she gouges out pockets
on twigs and trees, brushes and
shrubs. If she does enough, the
twigs are broken. The egg Sits
rarely heal over. The females
seem to have a preference for oak,
hickory, apple, peach, and pear
trees, and for grape vines. Most
plants can cope with such destruc-
tive activity, but young plants
often die from severe attacks.
In early July, the adult cicadas
begin disappearing. Soon after the
eggs hatch, the new cicadas drop
to the ground, and burrow to a
succulent DOT, there to stay until
j1570.

Forcel Air Drying
Gives Better Hay

Forced air drying of alfalfa and
other hay crops will improve quail
ity from one to two grades and
will save most of the leaves and
green color, says Byron L. Bondu-
1rant, agricultural engineer of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service.
Furthermore, the artificially cur
ed hay contains more protein, is
more palatable, and has a higher
feeding value, he says.
There are driers designed for
loose, baled, or chopped hay.
Most farmers are using natural
forced air, but good results can be
expected from either natural OF
heated air. The choice depends
largely on the size of the opera
tion.
Any system must be tailored to
dit needs and the existing buildings
on ire farms. Commercially built
systems are available but must be
properly adapted.
Bondurant advises farmers plan.

offered to our graduates this year
have varied from $4,000 to SS4 800.
There are also a number OF grad
uate assistant scholarships avail
able for our men who wish to get
advanced training for teaching or
research positions.
In an attempt to meet this de-
mand for trained men, the Univer-
sity of Delaware has enlarged and
reorganized their poultry industry
teaching and research program un-
til today it is one of the strongest
in the United States. Offices and
laboratories in the new Agricul-
ture Hall, and the entire new o. A.
Newton Hall at the poultry farm,
are used in this expanded program.
The facilities at the Georgetown
Substation of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station supplement this
work. Throughout all of our re-
search and teaching we attempt to
stress three things: (1) teaching
of basic principles ,(2) services to
the industry, and (3) research to
solve the problems of today.
In both the undergraduate and
graduate teaching, certain objec-
tives are kept in mind. Some of
these are: (1) to present the fund
amental knowledge in the subject;
(2) to lead the students in orderly
thinking so that they
can reach sound rational conclus-
ions; (3) to develop genuine de-
sire for information so that they
will continue to seek information
after graduation; (4) to instill into
each student a sense of RESPONSE
bility to his community and his
so that he will fulfill
his moral, economic and social OBJ
legations; and (5) develop through
discussions and reports the ability
to transmit ideas to others.

in trained workers and leaders.The

portunity to train themselves to

Board 10 Investigate
Crash Of By Fatal
To 10 in Georgia
BY the A.seeiatsd Press

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 11.-A
board of officers was named to-
day to investigate the crash of
the Hunter Air Force Base B-29
in which 10 crewmen were killed
last night.
The big plane, on q training
mission, was shattered to bits,
possibly by an explosion. as it
slammed into the muck along
side Rock Fish Creek.
The wreck was Hunters sixth,
with a total of SO fatalities, since
the base was reactivated in
1949.
The wreckage was near the
mouth of Ogeechee River. It
was found early today by hell
copter, a unit in a massive
search organized when the
bomber failed to return to the
base last night.
Bodies Recovered.
Some of the bodies were
brought to the Air Force crash
boat base at Thunderbolt later
in the day for transfer to the
Hunter Hospital for an attempt
at Identification.
The crash scene is hemmed in
by marshes and tangled swamp
growth and the bodies had to
be lifted out by helicopters and
transferred first to shallow draft
flatboats, then to the crash
boats.
1t. Edward libby, Hunter in
formation officer, could not say
whether all the bodies had been
found. Identification obviously
was a difficult task since the
bodies were badly torn and
twisted in the crash.
The bomber was due back at
its base at 10:45 o'clock last
night. When it failed to appear,
Col. Henry j. Amen, base COM
mander, dispatched search units,
augmented Oy state patrOlmen
and civilian volunteers and, at
dawn, by plane, three helicopters
and a Navy blimp.
, The search was directed to the
marshy, coastal area by reports
from residents of suburban
Richmond Hill and Grove Point.
They said they heard a Shatter-
ing explosion just after 10 p.m.,
saw a binding flash, followed by
silence.

The company Immediately
authorized complete and full
disclosure to the officials of the
alcohol tax unit in st. Paul, and
then proceeded to make an anal
ysiS of the old production and
sales records still available to de-
termipe the amount of tax that
might possibly have been due.
"On this basis, the attorneys
for the company finally arranged
a settlement with the Govern
ment which involved the pay
ment of 100000. At the same
time, a complete settlement of
all matters, both civil and GRIM
inal tax questions, were resolved
which might otherwise have re-
suited in tax refunds to the COM
pany.
The amount of our settle
ment was substantially in excess
of the provable liability.
although the settlement i'm
posed on the company might
have been excessive we believe
these officials acted as good pub
lie servants in the interest of
the Government.
Senator Williams had declared
that the settlements of which
he complained were ridiculous"
if the Governments original
tax claims were valid. If the
claims were for more than was

which he said the Jos. Schlitz

The Senator said the tax unit
contended beer had been shipped
in oversize half-barrels, while
bearing regular half-barrel tax
stamps. He said the original
claim was for the additional
amount represented by the next
larger denomination of stamp
but that the brewery settled fol
