Delaware Farm Income
Tops Million Mark

When all the 1858 returns are
counted, Delaware's farm income
will probably top the 100 million
dollar mark for the third consecu-
tive year, reports DR.. R. o. Baus-
man, chairman of the department
of agricultural economics at the
University of Delaware.
The 1858 farm cash income of
the diamond state is estimated at
about los million dollars, an in
crease of about two per cent over
last year. The highest year was
1851 with 112 million dollars.
''This 1853 farm income is worth
noting in view of a drop of about
two billion dollars or four per cent
in the national farm income, .
Bausman explains.
He says this doesn't mean all
Delaware farmers are more pros
porous. While some farm prices
are relatively good, others are
poor. The current price of broil-
ers is the lowest in three years.

Leaders, Training Program

What makes for a successful
meeting? What is expected of an
officer in an organization? How
can committees function success
fully? Answers to these questions
can be learned by attending the
Leaders Training Program to be
held at the Caesar Rodney School
on Monday, January 11th, starting
at 7:3O pm.
While arranged primarily for Of
ficers of home demonstration
clubs, All clubs, and farm organ
izations, the meeting is open to
the general public. 1t is not nee
essary that one be an officer in an
organization 1t is felt that there
are many people who decline to
serve in organizations as officers
because of a lack of experience.
Participation by everyone is to
be a feature of the program-by
means of type sc" discussion
groups. These are small groups of
six people, who talk about assign
ed problems for six minutes. The
results of all discussions are then
pooled with a report to the whole
group by one member of each dis
cussion group.
Some 129 people attended the
1858 leaders meeting, indicating
that interest in the subject is high.
Some folks make it a family night,
with Junior and Sis taking part
along with mother and dad.
/ There will be separate sections
to deal especially with the prob
lens of presidents, vice-presidents,
secretaries, treasurers and report
ers. The Kent County Agricultur-
al Extension Service staff - Miss
Charlotte Swanson, Mrs. Marian
Macdonald, and George Vapaa will
be assisted by State Extension
Leaders from Notwithstanding
Sam Gwinn, Gertrude Holloway
and George Van Horn.

Short Course Set
For NurSerynen

A one-day short course for nurs-
erymen is scheduled for January
25, at the University of Delaware,
Newark. The meeting will be held
in Agricultural Hall, starting at 10
am.
Outstanding speakers in the field
of ornamental horticulture will be
on hand, announces George M.
Worrilow, short course director.
During the morning, DR.. John L.
Creech, director of the plant inro-
duction gardens of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture at Glenn
Dale, Md, will describe "Propaga-
ton of Ornamental Plants" Gen
eral discussion topics will include
roofing holly, propagation of rhod-
odendrons, grating dogwood, hor-
mones in nursery propagation and
roofing biotas.
The afternoon period will be de-
voted to landscaping. DR.. Ray
mond Korboro, professor of orna-
mental horticulture at Rutgers
University, will illustrate Land
scaping the Home Grounds" 4"
Other phases of landscaping to be
covered are foundation paintings,
diseases and insects, plant mater
ialsc, transplanting and landscap-
ing the ranch type home.
The public is welcome to attend
this short course, stresses Worri-
low. There is no tuition fee or
registration charge.

growers are already allowing this
much space.
while Y to 2-3 foot of floor
space for each bird means more
birds per house, this crowding also
increases cost of production" Nc
Henry explains. Investment in
chicks and feed is higher, there is
more disease risk and quality is
apt to suffer.
University farm economists fig
ure it this way: when the differ
ence between the farmers cost for
producing the birds and the price
re receives for them is no more
than 5 cents pound, then Il foot
of floor space will give him the
most profit per house.

Buy Fertilizers
During Winter

Who ever passed up a bargain ?
That's what fertilizer bought
during the winter is bound to be,
George K. Vapaa, County Agent
says. BY purchasing your 1854
fertilizers now you'll get full ad-
vantage of the benefits of buying
and spreading them during the off
season.
On heavy soils fertilizers could
be applied now for pasture and
hay crops. On the lighter soils
you'd better wait a couple of
neutrality-suspicious. you could store
some of this FERTILIZER if you are
planning to spread it yourself.
Many dealers may be willing to
sell fertilizers at cheaper rate to
cut down on the heavy demand in
the spring and also to give them
more storage room.
Spreaders are relatively inactive
now during the off-season and per-
sons with ouch services will US
ually be more willing to bargain.
There's greater range of choice
in plant food materials now. Mix
lures and single materials are in
greater supply. Such plant foods
as super-phosphate, potash and nj
trogen are usually cheater alone
than in mixed goods or blends.
Another off-season advantage is
the chance to buy bulk materials
rather than bagged goods cheap
er because you don't have to pay
for bags and labor.

Follow These Resolutions
For Sound Poultry Program


Seven New Years resolutions
for poultrymen are suggested by
County Agent George K. Vapaa.
These resolutions are really the
basis of a sound management pro-
gram that will pay off in better
egg production, explains the agent.
1. Keep the laying house full all
pear-start at least two fiocks.
2. Keep hens in production a
longer period of time, using a sum-
mer laying shelter.
8. Use plenty of feed hoppers
and water fountains. If feeding
all mash, allow enough hopper
space for all birds to eat at one
time (4S linear feet per 100 birds)
Let feed hoppers go empty once a
day.
4. Have a large enough flock to
gave fair income at small marg-
in of profit per bird.
5. Sell culls weekly and Gull
carefully every week before buy
er arrives. When you sell a Gull,
it's money in the pocket; if it dies,
you have a complete loss.
6. House pullets according to
maturity - keep different age
groups separate.
z. Sell hens whenever egg pro-
duction drops too low.
Smyrna times., 1954-01-07
Allow More Floor Space
For Next BrOiIer Flock

Now that poultry growers are
getting ready to start new chicks,
how much floor space to allow for
each bird is of special Importance.
With the present selling price of
broilers below the cost of produc-
tion, s4 to 1 square foot of floor
space per bird will give the grower
chance to "break even," says
Silas j. McHenry, assistant extern
sion poultryman at the University
of Delaware. Many of the best

New Treatment for
Air Sac Infection
Brings Overnight mig Results

TODAY, many authorities believe
i that air sac infection or infections
of the upper respiratory tract have
actually accounted for the ultimate
loss of nearly 259o of all baby chicks
hatched in this country! And as every
poultryman knows-air sac infection
is the number one topic of converse.

gether. 1t is indeed serious situa.

New form of Penieiilin

Fortunately, science has found an
answer, both economically and dra-
matically effective. Over two years
ago, Wyeth Laboratories recognizing
the problem went to work. The suc-
cessful result came through Wyeth's
discovery of new salt of penicillin
named Bicillin. Bicillin is actually
penicillin in new long-acting form.
1t is absorbed into the blood stream
slowly-and is effective, with one In

Because of its action against wide
range ofharmful organisms, Bicillin-SM
is particularly valuable when there
is no time to identify the particular
bacterial organisms causing trouble.
