A White House victory on

will cut into Tennessee Valley
Authority territory, met this
morning and Chairman Cole,
Republican, of New York was
ready to call for a vote on the
immediate approval asked by
President Eisenhower.
The vote was delayed. how
ever. when the committee went
back into open session to hear
testimony by Senator Kefauver,

He had been III for several
weeks.
During his illness, reliable
reports-denied by his family

from leukemia. a blood disease:
Although admitting he received
daily blood transfusions, his wife
insisted he was suffering only

ing this proposal. Copies were
sent to other interested govern
ments, including the United
States. Communist China was
asked to send observers.
The new Soviet note was OBJ
viously aimed at delaying or pre-
venting ratification of the Paris
pact granting sovereignty to
West Germany and granting
that country the right to rearm.
It follows the month-old soviet
idea of a security system en-
bracing all European countries
as well as the United States.
This organization would replace
the systems of defense alliances
which the West has laboriously
built up and would specifically
ban the integration of a rearmed
West Germany in the system.

to draft an answer to an earlier

The note said its purpose was
"to prevent the complication of
the situation in Europe which
increases the danger of war;"
Therefore, the note declared:
"All measures must be under

PRUNING TREES IS

There isn't any hurry about
pruning operations, County Agent

most cases it's best to delay prun-
ing until the hard freezing wealth

most advisable after the trees have

what you are doing.
To prune a fruit tree correctly

HOLSTEIN HERD RECORDS
REVEALED AT UNIVERSITY

Dairy production has come a
dong way since 1920. This shows
up clearly in thirty-year produc-
tion records kept on the Holstein
herd at the University of Delaware
farm, Newark.
DIR. T. A. Baker, of the Univer-
sity's animal industry department,
says that back in 1920, the aver
age production per COW in this
Aerd was s,138 pounds of milk, 3.27
percent butterfat and 1918 pounds
of fat. In 1850, the corresponding
average were II, ,944, 3.79 and 430.3.
1T has been the policy of the
University to maintain uniform
level of feeding and management
at all times" states DR.. Baker. 'By
this precaution we are sure that
herd improvement comes from
selection and breeding"
Improvement of the herd in early
years was hampered by lack of
funds for replacements, making it
impossible to Gull all low produc-
ing cows. Furthermore, the pedi-
grees of the bulls used in those
days contained less in formation on
transmitting qualities of the an
cestors.
The biggest upward swin g in
herd production has come in the
past 10 years. Part of this is due
to the development of the artifi-
Cial breeding program in Delaware.
''Wl1ile we have always had herd
sires of our own, the additional use
of artificial breeding sires has CIV
en- us a better selection of bulls"
DIR. Baker explains. :.
Everyone of the last eight
5ires used in the herd has had
daughters tha t averaged higher
than their dams in production. AT
the end of the recor d-keeping
period, a Winterthur bred bull,
Winterthur Zeus Fozbes Command
er, was being used as herd sire.
His first nine daughters have re-
Gently completed their first lacta-
tions, with an average production
on mature equivalent basis (3O5
days, twice daily milking) of 1876
pounds of milk and $40 pounds of
butterfat-55 pounds of fat above
the level of their dams.
The average butterfat production
of the herd for 1853 is now being
figured and will be about 470
pounds per COW. This is the highest
level that has been reached in the
shistory of the herd, states DR..
Baker.

emerge and start their buzzing at
tack.
If there are only few flies, the
old fashioned fly swatter is your
best control method, MacCreary
believes. If the fly invasion is pro-
longed, your best bet is to use an
aersol bomb. Pyrethrum has the
advantage of not being harmful to
foodstuffs. A combination pyreth-
rum-DDT bomb is effective, but be
sure you cover all food and dishes
first.
You may be able to locate and
plug up the spot where the flies
are entering. That will take care
of them until they find another
crack to squeeze through.

FLIES COME INSIDE
DURING WINTER WEATHER

Pesky flies that seem to drop

they zoom around in circles or

The reason for all this out-of-
season fly activity is explained by
Donald MacCreary, extension en-
tomologist at the University of
Delaware. He says these aren't or
dinary house flies, but are a larger
species that hibernates in shelter
