The Cast.
By Joy Cormody

Trouble could come to high
administration officials this week
from an entirely unexpected
source.
That source is the film, Three
Coins in the Fountain" at the
Palace. Seeing it. every secre-
tary on the Government payroll
is likely to get the notion that
she's daft to live here when she
might wangle an assignment to
Rome.
Rome in this CinemaScope tap
estry is Paradise for secretaries.
The three involved in the story
go there to work for the U. S.
D. A. "a thinly disguised FOA
If we ever saw one. Harold Stas-
SEM and from that point on life
is sheer Hans Christian Ander-
sen, only better.
In brief summary: The girls
bosses turn out to be nicer, and
just as platonic as rich uncles.
They live in an apartment that
the late King Victor Emmanuel
could envy for its luxury. Each
girl finds the ideal husband, one
of these handsome prince, an
other a world famous writer. and
the third an Italian Adonis who
is destined one day to be Italy's
prime minister.
In making Three Coins in the
Fountain" goth Century-Fox al
most recklesSly decided to send
reality on long vacation. The
films single resemblance to life
lies in it's gorgeous Roman back
ground. the fountains, parks,
hills, monuments and streets
whose beauty might well drive
any movie script writer out Of
his mind.
The one so affected in this
fairy tale is John Patrick. His
instructions, quite possibly, were
to do sort of sequel to Roman
Holiday" itself a romantic fan
tasy but one with which it was
notoriously easier to go along.
The three girls who follow in
Audrey Hepburn's Roman foot
steps are Dorothy MCGUIRE, Jean
Peters and Maggie Mcnamara
CThe Moon Is Blue"). Miss Nc
Guire, a magician, makes her
affair with the elderly novelist
Clifton Webb the most nearly
believable. Miss Mcnamara, not
a magician, succeeds least in Civ
ing credence to her entangle-
ment with the handsome prince
Gouis Jordan). Miss Peters and
Rossano Brazil, the other pair Of
lovers, look mostly like added
starters and not very important.
In it's best moments, Three
Coins in the Fountain" has the
lift of what used to be called
light summer entertainment be-
fore movie processes got so huge.
But its truly exquisite, fantasy
like areas are those in which the
! so widely seeing cameras look
at the landscapes of Rome, Ven
ice and rural Italy. These truly
embody the wonder that the
picture, directed by Jean Negules-
CO, strives for but misses in its
frothy script.

Amount of Protein
Depends on ROughage

What kind and how much pro-
tein do my cows need This
question is one that crops up
wherever dairymen meet. George
K. Vapaa, Kent county agent says
it all depends.
1t depends both on the quality
and amount of roughage you have
available. For example, if you
have all the luxurient pasture
cows will eat, 10 per cent crude
protein grain feed is high enough.
This is true, Vapaa points out,
because rapidly growing pasture
plants contain large amounts of
protein.
If your winter roughage is
made up of some high quality
legume hay and silage, or all ex-
cellent hay, and you feed all your
COWS will eat, then about 12-14
per cent crude protein grain is
sufficient.
On the other hand, says Mr..
Vapaa, if you are one of the
many farmers who doesn't have
all the hay. or hay and silage
combination your cows will eat
Cor what you do have is of poor
quality, then the protein con-
tent of the grain ration will have
to be higher. Usually a 16 per
cent crude protein feed is enough
unless the roughage is very"
poor, or the amount Of good
roughage is Every" limited. 1t is
usually better to increase to the

Heat Concrete
In Cold weather

Concrete can be poured in cold
weather on Kent County farms
provided certain precautions are
followed to insure high quality
construction, says County Agent
George K. Vapaa.
If temperatures are below 4O
degrees Fahrenheit, the sand
gravel and water should be heat
ed before mixing-but in no case
heated hotter than can be tolerat-
ed by the human hand. The con-
crete should be poured immediate
ly after mixing, before it cools
off. Avoid pouring on frozen
earth.
AS soon as the concrete is pour
ed it should be protected against
loss of heat. Covers of canvas,
straw or hay are often used for
this purpose. Manure, salt, sugar
or other chemicals should not be
placed Immediately on new con-
crete.
Protection should be continuous
for 4 or days at temperature
of so degrees or higher.
Calcium chloride may be added
to the mix to speed up the setting
but it should not be relied on to

Still Time To Qualify
For '54 Corn Crop Loans

Farmers who wish to put their
1854 corn crop under a Commod-
ity Credit Corporation loan still
have plenty of time to get their
crop and their storage in condi-
tion to qualify, according to Paul
w. Mitchell, chairman of the Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation Committee in Delaware.
May 81, 1855, has been set as
the final date when 1854 corn
may be put under loan, though
this date could be set up little
if weather conditions next spring
endanger the grain, Mitchell ex-
plains. Applications for loans
should be submitted to the coun-
ty Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committees in Del
aware.
To quality for a loan, corn
must grade No. 8 or better, or
No. A on the basis of test weight
only. Both ear and shelled corn
are eligible for loans. Ear corn
placed under price-support loan
may have a moisture content of
not more than 20.5 percent if
placed under loans through Feb
ruary 1855.
The maximum moisture content
permitted decreases to 10 percent
during March; to 17.5 percent
during April; and 1916 percent
during May. Any 1854 shelled
corn may have a moisture con-
tent of not more than 1876 per-
cent, whether stored on the farm
or in a commercial grain ware
house. Corn grading weevily is
not eligible for loan.
Structures in which corn is
stored on the farm must afford
safe storage for the grain. Before
a loan is granted, the county ASC
office inspects the storage struc-
ture as well as the corn, with par
ticular attention to the roof, ven
tilation, protection of grain from

Buy Rel Clover Seed Early,
Suggests Claude Il. Phillips

Farmers needing red clover
seed for spring seeding should
buy their supply early, suggests
Claude E. Phillips, head of the
agronomy department at the Uni
versity of Delaware. The current
supply of red clover seed is about
25 percent below that of last year
and 20 percent below the 1882
average.
Red clover seed production in
1854 was the smallest in twelve
years and the carry over of seed
held by dealers and the Commod-
ity Credit Corporation is 20 per-
cent less than a year ago.
Many of the states that pro-
duce clover seed were hit hard by
the drought and many farmers
that normally save the second
cutting Of clover for seed were
forced to cut the crop for hay or
use it as pasture.
Alfalfa seed is much more
more plentiful with the 1854 crop
being the second largest on rec
ord. Also, there is a large carry
over of alfalfa seed in dealers
warehouses and government stor-
ages. The price of alfalfa for
1855 seedlings should not be much
different from that of last year.

cousin, the downy woodpecker,
who dote on a borer diet. Even
in November and December these
delicacies make up about half the
woodpecker diet, according to
Government surveys.
The woodpeckers do a job that
has thwarted scientists. While
great insecticides have been de-
vised, man has yet to figure out
a way to mass exterminate the
wood boring pests once they are
ensconced under the bark.
Davey tree experts receive
many inquiries about woodpeck-
ers at this time. Home owners are
concerned about supposed damage
to trees. In reality, the busy
feathered friends are just digging
beaks into the trunk and branch
es to get at their favorite It'd
bits, says p. ]. McWilliams, Dav-
ey field representative. And the
tree man advises inducements to
have the birds nest right on the
home grounds.
Best extra inducement to keep
woodpeckers around during the
winter months is to see that they
are well supplied with suet.

amount of grain fed than to boost
the protein content above 16 per
cent.
Cows do not usually need differ
ent kinds of protein feed in their
diets; but when extremely poor
quality roughage is fed, it is pos
sible that a variety of proteins in
the grain ration may be benefic-

''The cheapest source of protein
is in roughage," says the county
agent. Always plan to have an
adequate supply of high quality
roughage on hand to feed"

Landowners To Meet

Landowners in the Culbreth
Marsh drainage area west of Haz-
lettville are to meet at 1880 pm,
on Tuesday, January 4th, at
Thomas Chapel for the purpose
of discussing their drainage ditch
progrem, according to an an
nouncement by Isaac Thomas, Soil
Conservation Supervisor, from
that area.
The group will consider its to-
tai watershed drainage problem in
an effort to arrive at long
range program of land improve
ment. E. H. Talbert, State Drain
age Engineer. Robert Meyer,
Work Unit SCS Conservationist,
and George Vapaa, County Agent,
will be on hand to offer sugges-
tions regarding the best methods
of moving along with the job.
Most of the main ditch has been
dug but requires some cleaning,
but many of the prongs or later
ais need to be improved.
The Culbreth Marsh Ditch Com
pany is one of the few which still
retains and operates under its old
original charter. 1t seems likely
that the group may want to con-
slider reorganizing under the
new" Uniform Drainage Law of
1851 which offers some clear ad-
vantages not usually stated in
early charters.
Letters announcing the meeting
have gone out to the landowners
who make up the watershed area.
