NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAM
lilies OF KENT COUNTY

not affect basic requirements fol
ACP assistance. This reminder
comes from Paul w. Mitchell,
chairman of the Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
committee in Delaware.
To be eligible for participation
in this program, a farmer must
not exceed any individual crop
acreage allotment. This require
ment applies even to allotments
of less than Is acres of wheat.
MIR. Mitchell draws particular
attention to the wheat allotment
because of the difference in price
support regulations and ACP re-
quirements on this point. A farm
er may harvest up to is acres of
wheat, regardless of his allot-
ment, and still be eligible for
price support loans on crops other
than wheat, if he has complied
with all other allotments. But
he will not be eligible for ACP
assistance if he harvests more
than his actual allotment in any
crop, including wheat.
There is no specific requirement
on the use of diverted acres as
a basis for eligibility under the
ACP program. ACP officials re-
port, however, that there will be
wide opportunity for much-need-
ed conservation work on these di-
verted acres. In furtherance of
this work, ACP will dedicate a
large part of its 1855 funds.

In Delaware the farm census gets
underway November s.
Each farmer will be asked,
How many of the following are
on this place: Wheel tractors :?
garden tractors? crawler tract
ors? grain combines? corn pick
ers? pickup balers? field forage
harvesters? automobiles motor
trucks?"
The 1850 Census found tractors
on 2,525, 900 farms or 46.9 percent
of all farms. There was an aver
age of IA tractors per farm re-
porting tractors. Only 34.2 per-
cent of the farms reported trucks
an everage of IL trucks on L.
$4,000 farms.
Sixty-three percent of all farms
in 1850 had automobiles; 12.4 per-
cent, grain combines; 8.3 percent,
corn pickers; and 3.6 percent,
pickup balers.
The question on equipment is
one of about 100 that each farm
er will answer. The Census Bu-
reau is urging farmers to answer
enumerators' questions and to fill
out questionnaires when they ar
rive in the mail. Delaware farm
ers can expect to receive their
questionnaires about November /.

Apples Now Plentiful
AS Hurricane Specials"

Hurricane Hazel knocked mil.
lions of apples off trees as she
blew through Delaware, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and New York. The Delaware
Apple Commission estimates that
in Delaware alone about $4,000
bushels were knocked from trees.
Orchardmen are trying to sal
wage as many of these fallen ap-
Piles as possible. AS a result there
are lots of good apples that need
to be used right away.
The fact that these drops
means they are more perishable
than hand picked apples. Since
they have some bruises, these ap-
pies cannot be stored but must
be marketed now. That means
heavy supplies of a grade of ap-
pies known as Hurricane Spec
ials'' will be available at farms,
roadside stands, and wholesale
and retail stores during the next
three or four weeks,-an at rea-
sonable prices, too.
Mostly of the Rome Beauty,
variety, York Imperial, Staymen,
these apples are the very finest
for sauce, baking, pies, apple des-
serts, and for canning and freez-
ing. This heavy loss of good firm
apples now means that storage
stocks for later in the year will
be reduced and apple prices will
be somewhat higher than antici-
pated a few days ago. Now is
the time to enjoy apples in their
many delivious ways at most at
tractive prices.
You can get apple recipes by

aware for two free folders-"Ap-

Delaware Cash Farm
Income 1870 Lower

Delaware cash farm income will
be less in 1854 than it was in
1858.
The cash farm income for the
first six months of 1854 was S41, :
657 900. This is 1870 less than
the same period in 1858.
Most of the loss of income is
contributed to reduced broiler
prices and less broiler production,
according to DR.. William e. Nc
Daniels, associate professor of ag-
ricultural economics at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
Lower milk prices in 1854 than
in 1858 have helped to reduce
cash farm income, Mcdaniel adds.
Vegetables, fruits and truck
crops cash farm income have re-
manned fairly constant this year
after a sharp rise during 1858.
The prediction for recovering
part of the 1870 loss with fall
crops and broiler sales has been
partly offset by Hurricane Hazel.
Hurricane Hazel left widespread
damages among Delaware farm
ers. Most of the damage was to
the broiler industry which COM
prises approximately 709S of Sus-
sex County's gross cash farm in
come and about $40 of the
states gross cash farm income.

Production Emergency Loans
Available To Local Farmers

~ h<OSNbh ehA hANAo
Production emergency loans for
farmers in all Delaware counties
have been authorized by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson, as a
result of Hurricane Hazel. Loans
may be requested through local
agents of the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration in Dover and George
town.
To obtain loans, farmers must
certify that because of substan-
tial losses, they are unable to OBJ
tain financing from private sourc-
es to repair buildings and con-
tinue operations. This announce
ment comes from Ralph r. Pet
ers, state director of ire FILA for
Delaware and Maryland.
The emergency loans will be
made at three percent interest
rate. The period of the emergen-
cy loan may run for 10 years.
For exceptionally heavy losses,
the loans may be financed over a
period of 20 years.
Anyone employed full time off
the farm will not be eligible for
production emergency loans, Pet
ers explains. Local county COM
mittees will clear all requests.
In no cases will funds be loan
ed to expand farm business. !.

broiler house than the one blown
down.

the Wagamon Building at the
town circle.
IF you plan to rebuild" says
Peters, "the FILA urges you to
check with your Agricultural Ex-
tension Service for building
plans"
Since emergency loans may be
obtained up to Dec. 81, 1855, it is
not necessary to request a loan
Immediately in many cases. PouI-
trymen may want to wait before

House Group Urges
Restoration Of Cuts
In Veterans Budqet
Recommends VA Get
$2l5 Million Extra in
Omnibus Funds Bill
BY the Associoted Press

The House Appropriations
Committee today recommended
restoration of $215 million of
the $500 million Congress cut
last year from the Veterans
Administration budget.
The money is for veterans
compensation and pension pay
ments. The new allotment boosts
to $2,461 ,291 900 the total avail
able for this purpose for the
fiscal year ending June 80.
The committee said last year
that IAN extensive analysis" OF
the program justified a $500
million cut. President Eisen-
hover later asked that $215 mil
lion be restored.
The committee also approved
an additional 81 million for pay
ments to beneficiarieS of serv-
icemen who die while on active
duty or within 100 days after
their discharge.
Approve Omnibus Bill.
It's action was embodied in an
omnibus bill appropriating
1894 ,52l .596 to more than a
dozen Federal agencies to sup
plement funds previously pro-
vided them for the present
fiscal year. The amount APP
proved is $29,568,900 below
Presidential requests.
The committee approved the
use of 100000 of available State
Department funds to complete a
security investigation of depart
ment employees.
It added $19,5 million to the
SIS million previously appropri-
ated to the Maritime Admin
istration for ship operating SUBJ
sides. and boosted by SIS mil
lion the $475 million provided
last year for the Federal-aid
highway program. The high
way money is used to reimburse
States for part of the cost
of work on Federal-aid road
projects.
Other AllOtmentS.
Other allotmentS recon-
merded, subject to House ap-
proval when the bill is con-
sidered next week, include:
