EXTENSION WORK
RACKS UP DIVIDENDS

An estimated 5,393,822 families
changed one or more agricultural
practices in 1858 as a result Of
Extension Service activities, ac'
cording to a recently compiled
report by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
This was 16 percent greater
than was reported in 1852. OF this
total, 3,349,661, or 62.1 percent
were farm families, while $50, ,533
or 17.6 percent, were rural non
farm families. The survey results
indicated that 1,O93,62S or 2U.s
percent, of the families assisted
lived in urban areas.
Estimates of county extension
agents participating in the survey
place the total number of FAM
lilies assisted by some phase Of
extension work, during 1858 at s.
313,429, or. "a percent more than
were reported the year before.
In 1858, for the first time, pro-
vision was made in the statistical

first aid treatment. Feeding oper-
ations should be followed imme-
diately by generous watering to
revive wilted leaves and to acti-
vate the fertilizer. Long after leaf
fall, roots remain active in
searching out food. A more eff
cient root system also helps the
tree gulp up every available bit
of moisture in the soil.
The feeding technique is quite
simple, the tree expert explained.
Best application is by the perfora-
tion method. Holes about 18
inches apart and IL to 18 inches
deep are punched or drilled over
the entire root area. This, rough
ly, is equivalent to the branch
spread.
Use a tree food that contains
ten or twelve percent nitrogen
and divide the dosage among the
holes. Fill the remainder of each
hole with peat moss or other
humous materials-or the holes
may be left open if preferred.
Fall rains may help distribute the
fertilizer. However, since rainfall
is seldom dependable, deep water
ing with the garden hose may OBJ
tain the desired results much
more quickly.
Mr.. White warned that in many
areas extended drought has
brought out unusually heavy in
festations of borers.

LEAVES CONTAIN
TOP FEED VALUE
BY Lewis

Good roughage is the back
bone of our feed supply for cattle
and sheep. In summer it is pas
ture. In winter, hay or silage
comprises the bulk of our live
stock feed. On most farms, the
winter ration is built around the
hay supply.
County Agent George K. Vapaa
goes on to point out that "the
hay crop harvested now will de-
termine largely how well your
livestock are fed next winter" He
asks: "Are you saving all the
feed value in your hay?"
Legume hay gives more feed
value in protein and mineral con-
tent than the grasses. But get
ting all this feed value of le-
gumes in the barn is problem.
Much of the feed value is in the
leaves. If the leaves are shatter-
ed and lost in the field, the best
part of the plant never reaches
the feed rack.
Take alfalfa hay for example.
The leaves contain about % per
cent protein, while the stems con-
tain only about 10 per cent pro-
tein. If most of the leaves are
lost, so is most of the protein

PLANT A POULTRY PASTURE

Hot, poorly ventilated brooder
houses do not raise healthy pull
let's, according to County Agent
George X. Vapaa. This is one
reason why most poultrymen
have better success in raising
their flock replacements on range.
Range reared birds are more re-
sistant to disease, and maintain
egg production better during the
laying year.
With a good poultry range you
will raise healthier birds at a
lower cost and increase your pro-
fit per bird. The most important
factor for success in producing
eggs is to raise healthy replace
ment pullets that will live and lay
at a high rate of production for
a full year. According to research
conducted at Ohio States Uni
versity egg production or range
reared pullets averaged so high
er and mortality 1000 less than
for pullets reared in confinement.
This was for a period of from 21
to 66 weeks of age.
September 1st is the ideal time
to plant a poultry pasture" in
Delaware. To insure a good stand
get your soil tested and apply the
necessary amount of lime. Broad
cast 500 lbs. of 5-15-15 fertilizer
or 600 lbs. of 4-12-12 if starting
a new range. Where chickens
have already been raised on the
range 500 lbs. of O-14-14 or $50
lbs. of 0-20-20 may be used. The
soil should be plowed, disked and
cultipacked, before planting to
make a fine firm seed bed.
Broadcast a mixture of 2 lbs.
ladino clover, 8 lbs. alsike clover
and 6 lbs. of meadow fescue, US
ing a wheelbarrow or rotary type
seeder, then cultipack the soil
again. If no cultipacker is avail
able, leave the seed uncogered.
Enclose the range with tight
fence buried 6" in the ground to
keep out predatory animals. Now
it occasionally to keep grass
short and tender; and It will raise
500 healthy pullets per acre. If
desired, catch can be fixed on
the door of the range shelter so
that pullets will trip the door
open whenever they jump down
from the roost in the morning.

content. The same rule holds for
the calcium content of alfalfa
hay. While the leaves contain bet
ter than per cent calcium, the
stems have less than 1 per cent.
Legume hay with plenty of
feed value means well-cured, leafy
hay. Getting all this feed value
in the barn means cutting before
the plants are in full bloom aid
the leaves shatter readily. With
early cutting and rapid curing,
your livestock can look toward a
productive winter with leafy, nu-
tritious hay before them.

Cest-Sharing Provisions Continued
I'm 1855 Conservation Program


In 1855 Conservation Program
Cost-sharing provisions of the
1855 Agricultural Conservation
Program will be continued on
about the same basis as for 1854,
it was announced this week by
Paul w. Mitchell, state chairman
of the Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee in
Delaware. Mitchell reports the
Delaware handbook, covering the
state ACP, was submitted to
Washington for approval Aug. 27.
The national program, develop
ed by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture, provides the author
ity and sets up broad principles
that were used as a guide in de-
veloping the state program.
In 1855, particular attention
will be given to meeting conserva-
tion problems on land taken out
of crop production in complying
with acreage allotments. Such
land should be used to build up
moisture and fertility reserves.
Mr.. Mitchell made it clear that
any ACP cost-sharing is to be
used to aid farmers in meeting
specific conservation problems on
diverted acres and in no way rep
resents a payment for complying
with acreage allotments.
Emphasis again will be given to
those conservation m easures s
which will continue to provide
protection and land-use improve
ment in the years to come. AS
under the 1854 program, cost
sharing on number of practices
win be on the basis of the initial
establishment of the practices.
The responsibility for maintaining
the practice will be up to the
farmer.
Under the 1855 program, farm
ers will be given more than one
year to complete "package-type"
Imultiple-unit) practice projects.
Under the 1854 program all units
of a multiple-unit project had to
be completed within a year.
An example of multiple-unit
or package-type practice would
be the construction of open drain.
age bitches. This project might in
volve the excavation of the ditch
and the spreading of the spoil
bank. Generally, it is more practi-
cal to spread the spoil several
months after excavation.
Under the 1855 program,
farmer may receive his cost-shar-
ing conservation payments as he
completes the excavation and does
not have to wait until the entire
project is completed.

WASHINGTON Up - Rep. Vorys

immediate use of American forces

Vorys is a senior member of
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, which heard Secretary of

Asian defense alignment in a
closed session yesterday. Dulles
had a date to give the Senate For

Chairman Chiperfield (R-Ill) and

about yesterdays session.
It was learned, however, that
no specific mention was made of
using American forces of any type
in the beginning to bulwark at
tempts to weld Southeast Asian
countries and Western Powers into
defense coalition. Dulles earlier
told a news conference the goal
is to create an alliance prepared
to fight if openly challenged by
Communist aggression.
