Certified Seed Production
On Increase in Delaware

The use of certified seed has in
creased greatly in Delaware and
the production of certified seed is
on the increase. In 1854, Della
ware farmers produced 263 acres
of certified soybeans, 1873 acres of
certified hybrid corn, 81 acres of
certified barley, 46 acres of certi-
fed wheat, and 20 acres of certi-
fed rye.
'sThe yield from these acres
was only a small part of the ac-
tual certified seed used by Della
ware farmers last year." states
Frank B. Springer, assistant Ex-
tension agronomist at the Uni
versity of Delaware. HE says the
demand for certified seed is in
creasing.
The purpose of certification is
to encourage farmers to produce
better crop seed of high yielding
adapted varieties. Its success de-
pends to a large extent upon the
cooperation and interest of the
farmer.
Each crop in the certification
program must be field inspected
and after harvested, bin inspected.
These inspections are carried out
by representatives of the Seed
Certification Committee of the
Delaware Crop Improvement AS
sociation. This committee con-
sists of the Executive Committee
of the Delaware Crop Improve
ment Association, the Extension
Agronomist of the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service, and

Irrigation May Be Only
Part Solution

Irrigation may be way to
"beat the drought" but before in
stalling sprinkler system it
would be wise to talk it over first
with some impartial adviser, says
William E. Larsen, agricultural
engineer at the University of Del
aware.
Irrigation is no cure-all for
poor crops" he warns. "Installa-
tion of numerous irrigation sys-
TENS in recent years indicates
that many farmers may be turn
ing to water as a kind of crop
insurance against drier-than-
normal weather. This may lead
to disappointments and poor re-
turns on money invested"
"In normally humid areas" !"
Larsen adds, irrigation is most
likely to be profitable when it is
adopted as a final step in a COM
plete soil and water management
program on farm"
Irrigation can bring about spec
tacular increases in yields, he ex-
plains, but only where other con-
ditions are favorable and water is
the chief factor in limiting the
size of crops.
Irrigation will do nothing to
solve problems of erosion-it may
actually increase the runoff. 1t
may aggravate problems on poor
ly drained soils or create drain
age problems on formerly well
drained soils. Likewise, irriga-
tion alone will do nothing to inn
prove fertility or poor soil condi-
tions. All these things, as we'll as
lack of water, normally limit crop
production.

and gardener a lot of energy. Soil
is moist and more easily workable
than later in the season when
heat and dryness harden up the
ground, according to B. ID. Stamp,
field representative of the Davey
Tree Expert Co. Dishing out ar
boreal blue-plate specials calls for
perforating numerous holes ten to
twelve inches deep in the ground.
This can be real job without the
aid of expensive and hard-to-
come by heavy duty electric drills
used by professional tree men.
Most often the amateur tree doc
has to resort to the old-fashioned
punch bar, actually any crowbar
with a point. The do-it-yoursslf
man can make a punch bar from
an old auto driveshaft obtained at
the local car wreckers. Have it
cut to size and the point sharpen
ed. Holes are punched about a
foot apart over the entire root
area, roughly equivalent to the
branch spread. Each hole gets
about three-quarters of an ounce
of tree food high in nitrogen con-
tent. Then it is filed with peat
mosse, shredded manure or garden
soil. A good feeding invigorates
the trees, encourages lush foliage
and enables them to better with
stand insect attacks and soaring
droughts.

New Drug in Broiler Mash
Turns Brown Eggs White

When hens that normally lay
brown eggs come up with white
ones, poultrymen wonder what's
happening! Such is the case with
in the past 2 or 3 months.
What happens is this: The hens
have been fed broiler ration con-
tanning new drug which protects
growing chickens from coccidiosis.
The drug is not found in feeds for
laying and breeding fiocks. 1t
has been used in some broiler
feeds for about 2 or 8 months.
The effects are surprising to
poultrymen but nothing to be
alarmed about, according to linn
tied studies of this color change
by DR.. William ]. Mellen AMI Mr..
C. w. Mumford of the Agricultur-
al Experiment Station at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
There are apparently no effects
on shell quality or interior egg
quality, and no harmful effects on
the hens.
'9The color change is found in
small fiocks where broiler mash is
fed instead of laying mash," says
DR.. Mellen. "The new drug pre-
vents heavy-breed hens from MAX
ing the rich brown pigment norm
ally found in their egg Shells"
Numerous people with small
laying fiocks have called the Uni
versity of Delaware about this
egg color change. In all cases
the white color was traced to
broiler mash containing the new
drug.
The white color appears on the
second or third egg laid after the
drug is fed. 1t may not be fully
white, such as found on regular
white shells. This white effect
continues while the drug is fed.
The normal brown color returns
quickly when the broiler mash
drug is withdrawn.
Moral of the story: If you want
your heavy-breed hens to lay
brown eggs, feed them the regular
laying mash.

Board of Agriculture.
Two classes of seed are recog-
nized. The great bulk of seed
produced by farmer-seed growers,
inspected by the Seed Certifcation
Committee, is included in the Ger
titled class. Producers of seeds in
this class should be interested in
it from its crop producing value
rather than from seed produc-
tion standpoint.
The other recognized class of
seed is foundation seed which
must be in the hands and under
the direct control of the original
breeder, or a delegated represen-
tative of a State Seed Improve
ment Association, or state or Fed
eral Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton.
Growers who wish to enter the
certification program make ap-
plication for inspection to the
Seed Certification Committee, Del
aware Crop Improvement Associa-
tion, Box $50, Newark, or contact
your county agent. Applications
properly made out with the fee
enclosed must reach the Commit
tee not later than the following
dates for the respective crops:
Winter oats, June 1
Wheat, June 1
: Rye, June l
Soybeans, September l. !.
Applications should be made
as early as possible and those ar
irving later than the above dates
may be too late for inspection.

Several Effective Fly-Bait
Materials Now on the Market

When flies did the seemingly
impossible and developed a resist
ance to the modern miracle in
secticide DDT, agricultural scient-
lists scurried back to their labor
atories to find another and better
method of killing the familiar
pest. Fly bats, combining an old
principle with the use of new
chemical insecticides, are proving
to be the best means of meeting
this problem.
Several fy-bait materials that
are effective in killing resistant
flies are now on the market, re-
ports the County Agent.
Malathion and diazinon, two
new insecticides that are good for
this purpose, may be purchased
separately or in prepared fly bats.
Either way, directions for use will
be supplied by the manufacturer
and should be carefully followed.
Another effective chemical, Bay
er 1889, is available only in a
prepared bait (Dipterex).
All these materials are poison
GUS to human beings and animals
and should be handled with due
precautions. Diazinon is currently
not approved for use in dairy
barns.

LITTLE TALK ON JUDGE

But of one thing they were
sure. They were confident that
both President Eisenhower and
Rep. Jonas will be on the Re-

The Roman rulers, in the days of

We have mechanical slaves who work

Some people want effortless jobs. A
man applied for a job and expressed
the desire to have a Sitting job. He
didn't get it. While it is wonderful to
watch mechanical power shoulder the
drudgery that has for ages been piled
on human backs, one must remember
that there is not muscle or brain cell
in our bodies but thrives best upon
some kind of hard work. A new York
physician said recently that women
live longer than men for the reason
that they have to work with their mus
cles in housekeeping.
