Minelli. who had never before

Stamps Proposed For
Tooth Year of Entomology

A commemorative posta g e
stamp to dramatize the national
campaign against insect pests has
been requested by the Centennial
Commemoration Committee of the
Profession of Entomology, accord
ing to DR.. L. A. Stearns, a MEM
ber of that committee and Uni
versity of Delaware extension en-
tomologist.
The proposed stamp would
carry in its design the common
house fly, one of the insect pests
against which the profession of
entomology has long waged war.
The house fly was selected for
the stamp design because it is
probably by far the most familiar
one to every man, woman, and
child in the world; and is one of
the most dangerous to human be-
ings, since it is a notorious car

irrigation treatments. This in
cludes four levels of irrigation
which range from no irrigation to
a treatment where the soil is
maintained at a high level of
available moisture. The fifth
treatment involves no irrigation
until harvesting begins and then
a high moisture level is maintain
ed.
The drought which this area
has had this year has resulted in
very pronounced differences be-
tween irrigation treatments. BY
August 4, the heavily irrigated
plots will have received five irrig-
ations. These irrigations have re-
suited in greatly increased plant
growth, increased fruit set, and
increased fruit size
At present the most outstand-
ing differences are in regard to
blossom-end rot. The plots which
have not been irrigated have suf-
fered terrific losses from blossom
end rot while the plots whi h
were kept at high moisture lev
ell have had no damage. However,
even the plots which have only
been irrigated once have so per-
cent less blossom-end rot than
the non irrigated plots.
Some of the results of pasture
irrigation should be especially in
teresting to dairy farmers follow
ing the droughty conditions that
have prevailed in many parts of
the state. For example, work done
last year has shown that Ladino
clover and orchard grass pasture
fertilized with 1000 pounds OF
0-20-20 fertilizer in March pro-
duced $3.50 pounds of hay when
not irrigated and 800 pounds
when 13 inches of water was ap-
piled. This increased production
resulting from irrigation was well
distributed through the season
This fact is more important thar
the total increase since our mair
pasture problem is shortage Of
feed during the hot, dry months
In general, supplemental irriga
tion in these tests has increased
the carrying capacity of the pas
lures from one to two cows pei
acre.
Everyone is not located near 6

with drought resistant forage

and birdsfoot trefoil. Fertilizer:

AVOID BLACKHEAD
IN POULTRY

Take a few simple steps in
raising your poultry flocks this
summer, and you will cut down
the chances of their picking up
blackhead, says Asst. County
Agent Ralph Barwick.
Buy disease-free n u b t r
Matched birds, and put them in a
clean, disinfected brooder house
for the first six to ten weeks.
Use a range that poultry have
not been on for year or more.
Separate your chickens and tur-
keys at all times. The parasite
that causes blackhead is passed
in the droppings, so don't use
them as manure on poultry
ranges. Try to keep droppings
out of feed and water.
Blackhead usually causes heav-
ier losses in young turkeys than
in chickens.
Birds under IL weeks of age
are the heaviest hit, alt u g h
they can pick up the disease at
any age. See your veterinarian or
poultry pathologist if any of your
chickens become weak or drowsy,
have droppy heads, tails or wings,
become pale or have a sulfur-col-
ored diarrhea.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAM

farmer can we'll afford a little
trouble and expense to make sure
the animals have safe and COM
Portable ride to market.
THE greatest danger in mar
keting hogs in the summer time
is overheating," points out Ed
ward Schabinger, county extern
sion agent. IF hogs are hot when
loaded and the truck is not equip
ped for hauling in hot weather,
there is a good chance that the
farmer will unload fewer hogs
at the packers than were loaded
at his farm"
Mr.. Schabinger says the first
step in successful hot-weather
marketing of hogs is to give them
chance to rest and cool off af-
ter they are sorted. Hogs some-
times get quite hot in the sorting
process, SO let them cool off in
the shade before loading. If some
of the hogs are exceptionally hot
and painting, it may be all right
to splash a little cool water in
their faces.
'But don't drench a hot hog
with a bucket of cold wat e r,
Schabinger warns. ''The shock
might kill the hog"
Another step that must be TAX
en- before hogs are loaded is to
get the truck properly equipped.
'Have plenty of ventilation, and
provide some wet sand on the
floor" Schabinger suggests. THAT
cool, wet sand feels good on a
hogs belly and he won't want to
get up and stir around"
A shade over the truck also
keeps hogs more comfortable and
cuts down on heat losses.
"After the hogs are loaded, give
them a chance to settle down be-
fore starting the trip" Schabin-
ger adds. "And stop occasionally
on the road to make sure every
things all right. If the hogs are
restless, give them light sprink-
ling if you can find running 6
water. If there are a few hogs
that appear to be exceptionally
hot, get a bucket of water and
wet their heads.
My own feeling is that
would gladly carry bucket OF
water for a hog worth $50 OF
more says the county agent.
