Herd Health Necessary
For Sound Dairying

An ounce of prevention might be
worth as much as $135,000 900,
Delmar ]. Young, dairy specialist
of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service says that that is
the annual loss in cattle from di-
ease and parasites, in the U. S.
Herd health is important for
three main reasons: 1. Milk is one
of our top food products, so we
should give the public the very best
milk possible. 2. Efficient milk
production depends on herd health.
Unhealthy animals produce poorly,
cost just as much to feed as
healthy animals, and do not give
a good product. 3. Healthy, long
lived animals make Improvements
in our dairy cattle breeding easier.
Many of our best breeding animals
are lost through disease.
"a good dairyman," says Young,
'is a good manager. He prevents
contamination and injuries before
they happen. He uses sanitary
practices and realizes they are not
just extra touches but touches that
mean more dollars in his pocket.
He gets acquainted with his vet
erinarian and works with him in
prevention and cure of disease.

Clean Grain Emphasized BY New
Rulings

Stricter enforcement of Food
and Drug Administration rulings
will make grain buyers more dis
eliminating this year.
That prediction comes from DON
aid MacCreary, entomologist of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. The grain industry has
Joined with the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in advocating high
er quality grain and better grain
storage. Shipments of unclean
grain are subject to seizure and
may be classified as unfit.
The first on the farm step is to
clean up sources of infestation.
That should be done now, before
crops are harvested. Even a few
kernels left from last year can har-
bor enough insects to start a seri-
GUS infestation.
MacCreary suggests cleaning
bins to remove all bits of grain
and dust from corners and cracks.
Then spray walls and floors with
an insecticide. The U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture recommends:
DDT or methoxychlor wettable
powder sprays at 21s percent ap-
piled at the rate of 2 gallons per
1000 square feet. Or pyrethrum
Smyrna times., 1953-06-18

or allethrin emulsion sprays at 0.5
percent concentration, at 2 gallons
per 1000 square feet.
Cleanup should reach all sur
rounding areas. Feed rooms, small
pockets of grain left in machinery,
and spilled grain around the build
ings should be cleaned up and
sprayed.
For further protection, cneck
bins for openings or leaks where
moisture could enter and start rot.
Seal all possible entrances for rats
and mice. Clean up old lumber or
trash piles around the farm which
might harbor rodents.

VEGETABLE NEWS NOTES

Here are a few timely notes or
vegetable growing problems:
Cultivation of TOmatoes-Cultiva
ton of tomatoes is necessary tt
control weeds and aerate the soil
A heavy crust may form on the
surface and slow up growth. How
ever. if the roots are cut off, cul.
tivation may do more harm thar
good. Use the right type of equip
ment and spend all the time need
ed to properly adjust it. AS the
plants grow older move the culti-
vators further away from the
plants and only an inch or two
deep. BE Careful! Don't cut your
yield by cutting roots.
MISUNDERSTANDING of most
vegetables is a profitable practice
requiring little extra labor and
small amounts of fertilizer. Last
year E. P. Brasher, Head of the
Horticulture Department of the
University of Delaware increased
yields if tomatoes by one sidedress-
ing. About 500 lbs. of 5A10-5 or
5-10-10 six weeks after transplant
ing will usually result in good in
creases in yields. Sidedress vine
crops just before vines spread with
400 lbs. of 5-10-15 or 1872.
Sidedressing peppers also pays.
About 400 lbs. of 5-10-10 will stim-
ulate vegetable growth which is
certainly needed for good yields.
Sweet corn when it's knee high
needs 100 to $50 lbs. of ammonium
nitrate. Almost all vegetable
crops WILDE nefit from sidedressinn
after the heavy rainfall this spring.
Cabbage, Caulifiower and Broccoli
BE sure that seed is hot water
treated This treatment helps in
the control of black rot disease. If
Seeding plants become infested
with root maggots in the plant bed
treat with chlordane 2or 3 days
before transplanting. Use four
ounces of 1850 chlordane emulsion
to go gallons of water and pour
along the row, at the rate of l gal
ION to 25 or 80 feet of row.
Potato Blight-Late blight of po-
tatoes was found in Kent County
June 5th. Cool, wet weather fav-
ors the spread of this disease. BE
sure to get good coverage of the
whole plant when spraying. This
will take 125 to ITS gallons of
spray per acre.
Foliage Sprays-Do foliar nutri-
tion sprays pay? Mo. a recent
circular of the Delaware Agricul-
tural Experiment Station reports
on four year tests and shows that
vegetables do not absorb enough
plant food through foliage sprays
to be economically sound.

tween 1949 and 1852 at the Uni
versity Farm and at the research
substation at Georgetown. They
were used on tomatoes, lima beans,
cantaloupes, cucumbers, and po-
tatoes. The results of the study
are given in a new leafiet, just
published by the experiment sta
ton. Circular 26, 'Foliar Nutri-
tion Sprays, Do They Help Veget-
ables", is available from county
agricultural agents or from the

HE also works with other dairy
men and dairy associations in his
community. Together, they can
work out programs that viii re-
duce disease spread. They can at
tend meetings and learn the latest
methods of disease control"
Sick animals, animals with in
juries or insects, are a drain on the
individual farmers pocketbook, as
well as the nations. Put the en-
phasis on herd health, says Young.

Wheat Allotment For New Farms

Farmers on land on which no
wheat was seeded for any of the
years 1851, 1852, and 1858 may
apply for a 1854 wheat acreage
allotment, according to John A.
Redding, Sr., Chairman of the New
Castle County Production and Mar
keting Administration Committee.
To be considered for an allotment
on a farm which had no wheat
seeded for any of those years, the
farmer must apply in writing to
his county PIMA, committee by
June 80, 1858. Blank application
forms are available at the county
PIMA Office for use in filing re-
quests for allotment.

Spraying Cuts Tomato
Disease Losses

Spraying tomatoes with some of
the new organic compounds is the
best assurance against crop losses
from the common diseases, says
George Vapaa, Associate Kent
County Agent.
He points out that spraying is
a preventive measure, not cure,
so growers should not wait until
the disease appears before spray
ing. Fred Fifer, of Wyoming, Bill
Richardson of Lebanon, Parker and
Hughes of huntsville, and Walker
Miffiin of Dover, are some Kent
county farmers who regularly fol-
low preventive spray programs.
They say Cor quote just one farm
er- that it helps both quality and
yield. And the increase in yield in
bad years more than makes UP for
the loss of yield from sprayer dam
age.
Geo. Vapaa, advises that plants
be sprayed about 80 days after the
first blossoms appear, which is
about July list in Delaware. Ap-
plications should be made every
to 10 days after, depending on
the weather and the disease s1tua-
tion. In wet weather more fire.
quent spraying is necessary.
Chemicals are now available for
spraying tomatoes for early blight
spetoria leaf spot, grayl leaf spot
late blight, and anthracnose fruit
rot. Sprays are usually more eff.
fective than dusts, because they
stick to the plant better. But il
fields are wet, dcsts mayb the
