Summer Tractor Care
Procedures Listed

''Keep the tractor clean and
you'll keep it running" To this
bit of advice from tractor manu-
facturers, Assistant County Agent
Ralph Barwick adds that accum-
ulated dust and CRIME can smoth-
er the tractor, make it run rough,
lose power and shorten its life.
Give both the air cleaner and oil
filler cap daily attention-twice a
day if fields are extremely dusty,
Barwick urges.
If the air cleaner is the dry
type, disassemble and empty ac-
cumulated dirt; if it's the oil type
clean according to instructions in
the manual, then freshen with
new oil. Remove any material
that might have been sucked up
against the air intake screen.
Merely dip the oil filter cap in a
solvent to wash dust and CRIME
off the filter screen inside.
Give the battery, ignition cables
and spark plugs some attention.
Wipe off ignition cables, coil, dis
tributor and spark plug insulators
every day or two. Grease attracts
dust, and dust, when damp, be-
comes a moist wick causing the
high voltage to leak or short cir
cult and engines to miss, stall or
fail to start. Moisten the rag with
solvent for a good job.
Clean and adjust spark plugs
every 100 hours of tractor use.
Use new gaskets when changing
plugs to prevent leakage. In hot
weather keep up the water level
in the battery and make sure the
holes in the vent plugs are not
clogged with dust-pent-up gas
pressure can split cell castings.
Check the oil level and lubrica-
ton daily. Every ten hours of
operation vital points need two
strokes of the grease gun.
Overheating can result from a
loose fan belt, an insect-clogged
radiator core, or a radiator en-
crusted with scale and clogged
with rust.

progress; and results of previous
experiments will be distributed.
Emory Williamson of Green
wood will be the third visit.
Points of interest here include re-
movable panels in the rear wall
for cross-ventilation in summer,
white 10" overlap roll roofing and
feeding antibiotics for growth pro-
motion.
Next stop will be at Jarrells
poultry farm near Viola. He rails
es $4,000 broilers in a house 48
feet wide and 357 feet long. This
allows one square foot per bird.
There are six pens, with 5000
chicks, seven stoves (425 chicks
per stove) and eight water foun-
tains 8 feet long (375 chicks per
g trough) in each pen. He uses
five 1 gallon glass jars and box
lids per stove until the chicks are
two weeks of age; then small
metal chick feeders to weeks of
age. Twenty s. feeders per 1000
broilers are used after weeks Of
age. An insulated aluminium roof,
ventilation openings along peak of
gable, an elevated feed platform
and poultry disposal pit are other
points of interest here.
After lunch, the group will visit
Ed Laramore near Wyoming. He
has narrow" 25' x 300 broiler
house with a shed roof and con-
crete block construction. There
are several novel features about
this house. He has 10 ft. long
metal "V" water troughs which
fit snugly between two interior
posts so they can't be knocked
over. The trough and reel can be
raised and lowered separately;
and when the chicks are young,
he unhooks one end and sets it
next to the stove with the free
end on wood block. Another in
teresting item is 6" removable
boards between the rear rafters,
which he starts opening when
chicks are days old to increase

Mildew Spreads Rapidly
In Hot, Humid Weather

This hot, humid weather is just
perfect for the mold spores that
cause mildew. They flourish in
damp, warm, poorly lighted places
and grow on anything from which
they can get enough food espec-
tally the clothing and household
textiles, cotton, linen, silk, and
wool.
AS in all stain removal, it is i'm
portant to treat the spots as soon
as they are discovered, says Miss
Patricia Middleton, Extension
home management specialist at
the University of Delaware. If al
lowed to remain for a period OF
time, the mold may eat into the
fabric and weaken or rot the ma
terial.
First brush off the surface
growth. Do this out-of-doors to
prevent scattering the spores ir
the house. Then treat the stain
in a manner suitable to the ma.
terial. Dry-clean fabrics thai
cannot be washed or sponged with
water.
Fresh mildew stains on wash.
able fabrics can be removed by
washing with soap and water

Tree Wrappings Help
Tlrwart Boring Insects

You can wrap some of your
tree troubles in an old burlap
bag.
The bag is one to be torn into
strips for wrapping around pet
trees to protect them against Sec
ondary borer attacks. Secondary
borers are those insects that at
tack and gain entry in trees u.s.
ually weakened by severe drought
and soaring heat of several past
seasons.
F. r. Lancaster, entomologist
and technical adviser of the Dav-
ey Tree Expert Co., says burlap
wrappings saturated with chem
ical protectors offer a barrier
against the ruthless pests.
Trunks and limbs should be
wrapped as high as you can go
safely. Five or six tablespoons of
Smyrna times., 1955-08-04

wettable DDT powder or lindane,
or a combination of both, in
bucketful of water make good re-
pellants.
The poison can be applied on
wrapped trunks and limbs with
paint brush or with the trusty
spray gun.
Neither the wrappings nor the
poisons supplant good tree care
practices as the answer to the
borer problem. Prevention is the
best method of borer control. This
means trees kept in good health
and growing vigor are less likely
to become victims of borer fifth
columnists. Pruning, feeding
spraying against leaf eaters and
adequate watering help build UP
trees resistance to invasion.

BrOiler Growers Tour Kent and
Sussex Counties

Delaware broiler growers will
have an opportunity to see some
of the newest ideas on poultry
housing, equipment and manage
ment on their tour Wednesday,
August 10th. How to keep chick
ems cool in summer, how to pre-
vent hurricane damage, bulk feed
ing, labor-saving devices, and new
types of feeds will be featured.
First stop will be at o. A. New
ton & Son Company near Bridge
vile at 900 am. Points of inter-
est here include a new open-front
laying house SO feet deep with re-
movable panels in the rear of the
house to permit complete fioor-to-
roof cross ventilation in the sum-
mer time. This house replaces
one lost by hurricane Hazel" last
fall; and has been built much
sturdier than the previous one.
Bolts anchor the sill to a poured
concrete footing; metal straps
hold the center posts to a con-
crete pier and metal anchors hold
the rafters to the plate. The
group will also see 12' x 16' COM
bination brooder house r ange
shelters which are used to house
flock replacement pullets from
day-old to maturity.
Second stop will be at the Co.
operative Mills Research Farm,
Rt. 13 South of Greenwood, at
1000 am. Here the group will
see bulk feed truck blowing
feed into 5-ton bin and IL, 400
broilers in 38 research pens. Ex-
periments include a comparison of
automatic feeders versus hand
feeders, feeding different size pei
let's, different types of feed ingred-
tents, high protein (249o) and
high energy (100O calories) ra-
tions, diethylstilbestrol hormone

methods that have been developed
for livestock production can be
used economically only with large
sized herds or fiocks.
AS might be expected, milk
COWS were found to be big labor
users. A hand-milked cow re-
quires 14O man-hours per year, on
the average, while a machine
milked COW requires Ill hours.
Feed and litter carriers, barn
cleaners, stanchion drinking cups,
pipeline and bulk handling of milk
and maintenance of large herds
and high-producing cows, all make
for less work per unit of milk
produced.
In hog production, size of herd
also makes a big difference in
labor requirements. A large herd
can use self-feeders, self-waterers
and good pastures economically,
whereas small herds cannot. Lab

In poultry raising, labor-saving

guides will show the transport
planes, jet squadron, training ia
cilities and other points of inter-
est.
All poultrymen are invited to

THE STRANGE CAREER OF

THE STRANGE CAREER OF
JIM CROW. BY c. Vann
Woodward. (Oxford UNI
versity Press: $2.50.)
Mr.. Woodward has some
startling information for per-
sons who believe that segrega-
ton is an unchanged and un-
changeable way Of life in the
South. His study Of the his
tory of Jim Grow laws turned
up these facts:
Reconstruction" was over
by the end of the 1870s, and
from then on the South was
free to write its own laws, un-
hindered by Northern opinion
or, as it turned out. constitu-
tional restrictions. Yet during
the '80s the South, by and
large. was a land Of public in
tegration. Whites and Negroes
rode side by side on the same
trains. ate together in restau-
rants, drank In the same sa-
looms. went to the same
churches, went to the same
public meetings and even
voted together.
In other words, segregation
was not the Southern way Of
life. That is not to say the
Southerners treated Negroes
as their equals. They were
convinced, on the contrary,
that Negroes were strictly in
ferior. But opinion leaders
saw no reason for rubbing it
in" by refusing contact in
public.
Jim Crow began to take
over in the '90s. but was not
the established norm until
around 1900. 1t was only SIS
years ago, for instance. that
Virginia saw At to segregate
the races on railroad trains.
Jim Crows victory stemmed
from q myriad Of reasons, So
cial, economic, psychological
and political. But the real les
son to be learned from the his
tory Of Jim Grow, Mr.. Wood
ward says, ig that segregation
has not always existed In
Dixie. !

Ended" probably will make
Norman Mailer and James
Jones (of From Here to

too restrained in their Ian
guage. Mr.. Gwaltney not only
has adopted the soldier talk
scattered freely through "The

he has added some scenes

to feel that nothing should

obscenities irrelevant to SOL
