Spray Now To Control
Garlic In Pastures

Every year, many gallons of
milk are sent back from the milk
plant to the farmers because Of
the garlic odor This represents a
very real loss of income. The OdOF
is caused by the cattle grazing pas
lures which are infested with wild
garlic The wild garlic plant repro
duces by a small oniOn-like bulb.
This bulb terminates in the fall
or early winter and is quite com
mon in pastures throughout the
county. However, it can be con-
trOlled and completely eliminated
from pastures. Many dairy farmers
in Kent County have reported won
deTful success with the following
method
Apply in very early March, one
pound Of 2,4-D acid equivalent
ester formulation per acre to the
pasture with a weed sprayer. This
first years application will elimin-
ate most Of the garlic, but the
spray may need to be repeated the
second and perhaps the third year
to eliminate all of it. This spray
has been used very successfully on
Ladiono-grass pasture mixtures
without any appreciable damage to
the stand of clover and grass. 1t is
necessary. however, that the spray
be applied in early March to avoid
damage to the clover. If It is not
applied until late March or early
April, the clover may be seriously
damaged and the amount Of pas
ture available to the animals great
~ reduced.
Dalrymen are warned that such
an application Of 2,4-D will kill red
clover, lespedeza, and alfalfa, and
the spray should not be used on rO-
tatiOn pastures where these le-
gumes are the main source Of graz.

Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
Reports On ''T'be Budget For 1856"

Federal spending is expected to
be slightly less in fiscal 1856, ac-
cOrding to an article on the new
budget in the February Business
Review of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of Philadelphia. It takes a
lot Of money to pay for them any
activities of the cOUntry's biggest
business, particularly in these
days of international tension. The
Federal Government bought about
IA per cent of the nations output
of goods and services last year.
The Review points out that most
Of the money goes for national Sc
curity, and most Of it comes from
taxes on income -. personal and
corporate. National security takes
about twO-thiFds Of each budget
dollar. If the cost of past defense
is added the total is nearly 85
cents.
Federal expenditures have risen
sharply in the past half-century,
according to the Review, the prin-
cipal reasons being war and de-
tense. Before World War /, ex-
Milford chronicle., 1955-03-04

penditures were less than 81 billion
a year; they reached a peak of SIS
billion in 1919. World War II
sweIled expenditures to nearly
S10O billion in fiscal 1945.
Expenditures in 1856 are expect
ed to be nearly $12 billion below
the postwar peak in 1853. Nearly
all Of the reduction has been in ma
tional security expenditures, re-
hecting in part the cessation of hos
tilities in Korea and a revision of
the defense program. The pros
poets are that the financial opera
tiOns of the Federal Government
will have a more stabilizing influ-
ence on the economy than last year.
Defenses pending, which dropped
sharply, is expected to continue at
about the present level. Treasury
operations will have little effect
on the amount of spendable. funds
in the hands of the public, despite
the budget deficit, as actual cash
receipts and payments are expect
ed to be about in balance.

FOUNDER from Drexel Hill, Pa.
A junior at Delaware and cap
tain of the squad, Boyd has won
total of II bouts while losing
only five. Ten of the seventeen
wins were by pins.
Captain Of the freshman wrest-

only three minutes and thirty-one

HaverfOrd's COya Azumi was the

James B. Owen, principal of the
Georgetown High School, speaking
before the Georgetown -Millsboro
Rotary Club, last week gave in
teresting and little known facts
on George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln in connection with the
State of Delaware. He told of vari-
GUS places where Washington stop
ped in Delaware and the time spent
in the state, the greater part of
which was prior to the Battle of the
/ Brandywine. Mr. Owen also related
historical facts concerning the dis
agreement between George Wash
ingtOn and Col. John DagwOrthy
in the matter of who was the rank
ing officer and cited the claims
made by each with reasons upon
which they based their claims.
Much of the references to Lin
coin were mainly pertaining to
I
War and the Emancipation Pro-
clamation and how it affected Della
ware. 1t was pointed out that the
| EmanciptiOn Proclamation did not
apply to Delaware slaves as it was
directed to the states which had
seeded from the Union and the
slaves in Delaware were not ac-
tually freed until the COnstitional
Amendment was ratified. Delaware
slave owners had gradually been
freeing slaves until at the time o.
the Emancipation Proclamation
there were only about 1900 slaves
in the state.
