Asparagus Research
Helps Many Farmers

Asparagus growers will find the
answers to many of their prob
lens in a new bulletin published
by the Agricultural Experiment
Station, University of Delaware.
The bulletin is entitled Effects of
Fertilizer Practices, Cover Crops,
and Ridge Culture on the Yield of
Asparagus" and was written by
Prof. e. p. Brasher, head of the
department of horticulture at the
University.
The publication reports aspar-
agus research conducted for the
past seven years at the Univers-
ity's agricultural substation near
Georgetown.
Of all treatments tested, the
most outstanding was that of
ridging the rows six inches high
at the beginning of the cutting
season. This treatment greatly

Truck gardens suffer most heav-
lily. In past years many farmers
have ordered gas cartridges for
the control of groundhogs or
woodchucks. They will be avail
able again this year upon order
for the farmer at a very nominal
fee. These cartridges are placed-in
the active grounding burrows and
the exit holes filled with soil. BY
using the cartridges early in the
spring it is very easy and simple
way to reduce the grounding pop
ulation.
If any farmers are interested
in obtaining these gas cartridges

year-round fire prevention pro-
gram on the farm" says George
M. Worrilow, Director of the Ag-
ricultural Extension Service at
the University of Delaware.
In getting ready for spring and
summer operations, farmers will
find that they can, at the same
time, correct many of the worst
fire hazards around the farm. And
without too much extra effort, if
any.
Most of these chores usually
come under the heading of spring

the United States Department of
Agriculture and the National Fire
Protection Association list five
cleanup recommendations of top
Importance:
(1) Removal of old magazines,
newspapers, clothing, rags, mat
tresses, and broken and discarded
furniture and the like, from attics,
closets, easements and the barn
and out-buildings; (2) cleaning
up of rubbish in the farm yard
and cutting down of dead vegeta-
ton around buildings, along fenc-
es, and in fields.
(3) Clean up of the machine
shop and the work bench, includ-

ment and power machinery; (5J

increased yields and spear size
over level culture.
AS for lime, it was found best
to broadcast 1000 pounds of
ground limestone per acre before
planting the crowns = instead of
applying the limestone in the fur
rows.
The best time of applying fer
tilizer was found TO be in split
applications. 1t was best used by
applying one-half of the fertilizer
in the spring before growth start
ed and the other half at the end
of the cutting season.
Asparagus plants were found to
be sensitive to different ratios.
The best fertilizer was 5-10-15
while 5-10-10 was the poorest. All
yields favored the plots using
commercial fertilizer instead OF
poultry manure. In fact, annual
application of poultry manure to
establish paintings greatly reduc'
ed yields.

Check Your Farm
Workshop For Safety


Orderliness, good lighting, safe
tools and equipment make shop
work easier and safer, says Asst.
County Agent Ralph Barwick. And
a careful workman is a basic re-
quirement for a safe workshop.
Go over your farm shop with a
critical eye to locate accident haz-
ards and inconvenience, Mr.. Bar
wick advises. Some of these may
have remained unnoticed for
years. The next step is to correct
them, and the solution is usually
obvious and does not require spec
ial instructions.
Question the way you work, and
have a determination to change
unsafe habits that are hazardous.
Do some housecleaning and set
things in order if the benches,
storage cabinets and work areas
are obstructed or cluttered. Don't
work in the dark; see that dam
gerous corners and work centers
are well lighted. Avoid storing
loose materials overhead, and see
that all tools are kept in a safe
condition and in a safe place.
Adequate ventilators to remove
harmful fumes is also important.
Don't overlook fire hazards,
warns the county agent. Besides
safe heating equipment, avoid un-
safe use and storage of flammable
materials. Check for defective
electrical appliances or wiring and
avoid unnecessary accumulations
of greasy or oily rags Install a
fire extinguisher or other fire sup
preston aids so you have a
chance to check small fires that
may get started.

Control Grounding Damage

Many farmers in New Castle
County are confronted with the
problem of groundhogs. Holes in
pasture land make it difficult and
sometimes expensive to NOW be-
cause of the breakage of equip
ment.
Grounding damage is particu-
larly heavy in some areas in the
county. Injury to corn, truck
crops, and young fruit trees is
serious. Clover, alfalfa, soybeans
and other legumes are particular
ly attractive to these rodents.
