TURKEY GROWERS
To EAT AND TALK

Lets eat and talk turkey" will
be the theme of Delaware turkey
growers at a statewide meeting
and dinner April 8, in Wesley
Community Hall, Seaford.
After the traditional turkey
dinner at $50 pm, the growers
will discuss the best way to grow
turkeys in order to produce meat
at the lowest price per pound, how
to market the birds, and how to
encourage people to eat more tur-
key.
w. T. McAllister, marketing
specialists for the University of
Delaware turkey grower in 1854.
Ideas to increase turkey consump-
tion will be explained by Wilson,
chairman of the Eat-More-Turkey
campaign in this state.
'TIow to make more money with
your turkeys in 1854" is the topic
of Hobart Norman of Charlotte
Hall, Md. Mr.. Norman keeps 1000
breeders and raises $4,000 turkeys
on range. All of these are dressed
and most of them retailed.
The meeting is sponsored jointly
by the Delaware Poultry Improve
Iment Association, Maryland Poul-
try Council and the Universities
of Delaware and Maryland. Tick

vim Lyons, Seaford or any COM

TOMATOES RESPOND
TO PLENTY OF SPACE

Tomatoes don't like crowding,"
says e. p. Brasher, research horti-
culturist at the University of Della
ware. 'They need plenty of room
to forage around for their plant
food-of which they are hearty
consumers"
To satisfy the tomatoes needs,
the vegetable crops people at the
Agricultural Experiment Station
are recommending about 12 Is
square feet of space for each plant
of the normal vining types of to-
matoes widely grown here for pro-
cessing.
Small-vined or dwarf type to-
matoes, such as Valiant or Bounty,
will give largest returns per acre
when spaced to provide about 10
: 12 square feet to the plant.
In experiments with Rutgers to-
matoes at the Agricultural farm
i'm Newark and the Substation near
Georgetown, the best yields were
obtained where each plant had 12
to Is square feet of space. Actual
varying of space between rows
and between plants in the row
made little difference. 1t was the
overall space available to the plant
that counted most.
Recently developed spray pro-
grams have led to a re-study of
the best spacing to tomatoes, the
researchers explain. Provision
must now be made for sufficient
space between rows to move
spraying equipment without in
juring the plants.
Results of tomato placing ex-
periments show that the plants
can be set in rows four, five or six
feet apart without reducing yields,
providing the plants are set cor
respondingly closer in the wider
rows" reports Brasher.
Most local growers are now set.
ting their tomatoes in rows five
feet apart with the plants three
feet apart in the row for large
vined varieties, and two feet apart
for the small-vined types. Some
large-vined plants are set in six
foot rows two and half feet apart
in the row. The choice of planting
distance depends upon the row
spacing which best fits the spray
ing equipment available to TIL,
grower, Brasher concludes.

persons tripped over objects, and
% others fell from steps, trucks,
hay lofts and various places in the
barn.
Elderly people were most sub
ject to falls, says Miss Whitcomb.
Those over 65 had the greatest
accident rate, while children under
5 years of age came next. How
ever, the accidents were most seri-
Gus among the older folks. More
women than men were injured by
falls, but when the men fell their
injuries were usually greater.
A campaign to remedy fall-liv-
iting conditions is now in progress,
Miss Whitcomb announces. Home
demonstration and All groups are
carrying out inspections in their
communities and keeping records
of hazards corrected.

KEEP BABY PIGS
FREE OF PARASITES

If young pigs are "eating like
hogs" but not putting on much
weight, they may be victims of in
ternal parasites.
Several types of internal para
sites may sometimes kill yocr
young pigs, warns County Agent
George Vapaa. More often para
sites reduce pigs growth rate so
that it takes more feed and a
longer time to bring them to mar
ket weight.
See your veterinarian if you
suspect worms in your herd, Vapaa
advises. The vet may recommend
that you feed the pigs a one per-
cent mixture of sodium flouride
for one day in dry ground feed
that they are used to eating. This
treatment helps to control round
worms if given shortly after pigs
are weaned.
On worm-infested pasture, you
may have to dose the pigs Sec
ond time in a couple of months.
On clean pasture, one treatment
will usually do until they are rea-
idy for market. The sodium flouride
compound is poisonous-keep it
away from other farm animals and
children.
There are many parasites that
drugs cans kill. To keep them out
of your herds, Vappa recommends
these practices:
L. Ring your pigs so they can't
root for earthworms. These worms
carry the lungworm that may kill
some pigs and cause others to be
unthrifty. Lungworm may also
spread hog influenza.
2. Don't use moist pastures, es-
Ipecially after rain. Earthworms
thrive there.
8. Use rotated, clean pastures.
! 4. Haul your pigs to pasture so

All CLUB MEMBERS
TO HOLD DEMONSTRATIONS

Delaware will hold a statewide
All demonstration contest next
July 28 at Harrington, during the
Kent-Sussex Fair, according to
announcement from Samuel M.
Gwinn, state All leader.
The Alters can give demonstra-
tons in eight subjects matter
fields-clothing, dairy foods, dairy
production, home improvement,
pountry foods, pountry production,
soil and water conservation and
vegetables.
Only winners of preliminary
county demonstration contests are
eligible to enter the state event,
Gwinn stresses. The county con-
test dates are May 1 in Sussex
County and June 10 in New Castle
County. Kent County has not yet
set a date.
A All club boy or girl can enter
only one demonstration, and that
must relate to the 1854 project of
the member. However, each county
can have both a team and an indi-
vidual demonstration in each SUBJ
ject matter area.
Prizes for state winners will be
scholarships to either the 1855
short course or the state All
camp. The one exception is for the
dairy foods demonstration, for
which prize of a 19-jewel wrist
watch is already provided by the
Carnation Company. First alter
mates in this event will receive the
scholarships. Ribbons will be pre-
sented to all contestants.

A fair farm lease agreement, he
points out, will share returns in
the same proportion as the costs.
Each farm has a different situa-
tion, so it's important to consider
fertility of the land, condition of
the buildings and location of the
markets. Cost of labor and equip
ment to the tenant has risen more
during the past 10 years than in
terest rates and taxes have to the
landlord.
Every tenant or landlord should
plan what each is to furnish and
what share each is to receive, the
agent stresses. Lease agreements
should always be set up to encour-
age profitable farming.
While there is no simple process
for arriving at an equitable shar-
ing agreement, there is standard
farm lease form available from
the county agents office in Dov-
er. On this lease the tenant or
landlord checks off who furnishes
what and at what cost. A per-
centage of the costs can then be
figured.
A well kept farm record of in
come and expenses will be a valu-
able guide in determining fair
farm lease, Vapaa concludes.

FALLS LEAD ACCIDENTS
RURAL SURVEY INDICATES

Falls felled more rural Della
wareans than any other type of
accident last year, reveals Miss
Louise Whitcomb, extension home
management specialist for the
University of Delaware.
Figures just gathered on 895
accidents are the result of state
wide accident survey in 1858, re-
ported by local rural people.
Falls accounted for 25 percent of
all casualties in the home and on
the farm. Stairs in the home sent
IS persons tumbling, while "a 9TH
ers fell over objects. Other falls
came from porch steps, cellar
stairs, icy steps, and miscellaneous
causes.

old lanes used year after year.
5. Clean your narrowing pens
and wash the sows' udders before
putting them in. This will remove
any dirt containing worm eggs
which young pigs might eat.

Rev. Jack G.. Ammon came to
the Clarksburg Methodist Charge
in June 1913 as a theological stu
dent while attending the Meth
odist Theological Seminary at
Westminster, Md. There were
two churches in the Charge then.
After he graduated, he was or
dained and served the Charge for
two years. The Germantown
Church was added to the Charge
during the past two years.
Rev. Ammon was a former
chaplain serving with our combat
troops in Europe during World
War II. Rev. Ammon is now be-
ing transferred to the Erie Meth
odist Conference. However, his
station has not yet been named.
Rev. Ammon has made many
friends in this area. All the mem
bers of the three congregations
regret seeing him leave. They
realize that he must serve in ota-
er areas to secure additional ex-
periences which will help him and
his congregations.
Rev. Ammon is responsible for
the splendid MYF Programs In
all three churches. He was an
expert in arranging youth pro-
grams and inspired and created
the youth choir of the Clarks-
burg Church. He also inspired
the work programs in all three
churches which beautified both
the interior and exterior of all
three churches. He did much for
the spiritual development in this
area by planning and participat-
ing in many evangelistic services
in this neighborhood. Rev. Am
mon has helped to increase the
membership of all three congre-
cations and has left a spark that
he hopes will be a great benefit
