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 en-
gineer at the University of Della
ware.
Irrigation is no cure-all for
poor crops" he warns. "Installa-
ton Of numerous irrigation sys-
TENS in recent years indicates that
many farmers may be turning to
water as kind Of crop insurance
against rier-than-normal wea-
Their. This may lead to disappoint-
ments and poor returns on money
invested.
In normally humid areas" Lar
sen adds, irrigation is most like
ly to be profitable when it is adopt
ed as a final step in a complete
soil and water management pro-
gram 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.

Thrift Plan
Offered To
OF
Dupont Co.
Company Will Add Csc
To Every Dollar Saved
By Employees At Sea-
ford NylOn Plant.

A thrift plan was offered this
week to employees of the Seaford
DUPONT Plant following negotia-
tions with the Seaford Nylon EN-
ployees' Council, Inc, Emil o.
Johnson, Seaford plant manager
announced. Under the Plan, the
Company will add 25 cents to every
dollar DUPONT employees save. Pur-
pose is to encourage employees to
save regularly and TO provide an
opportunity for them to become
stockholders in the company at no
cost to themselves. Participation in
the plan is entirely voluntary.
The plan sets up an incentive for
employees to save regularly and on
a long-range basis through payroll
deductions. The company will con-
tribute to trust fund % per cent
of the amount saved by each en-
ployee. This money will be used to
buy DUPONT common stock for him.
1t works like this: Every eligible
employee who wants to participate
will specify the amount he wishes
to save each month by payroll de-
duction. The minimum. is $3.50 a
month and the maximum is $37 so.
The amount he specifics will be
deducted each pay period and will
be put into U. S. Savings Bonds,
Series E, for him.
Every month the company will
pay over to trustee One-fourth as
much as the amount deducted for
each employee. This money will be
used by the trustee to buy stock
monthly for the employees account
and dividends will be applied to
purchase more stock for his bene-
fit When he accumulates a full
share, it will be put in his name
and, after the required holding
period of two years, will be turned
over to him. Dividends on the
shares in his name will be paid di-
rectly to him.
Since the purpose is to encour-
age sustained saving, the en-
ployee's savings bonds will be held
for four years, then will be deliv~
cred to him in annual jnstallments.

ceTtined SEED USED Dy delaware
farmers last year." states Frank B.
Springer. assistant Extension agro-
nomist at the University of Del
aware He says the demand for
certified seed is increasing.
The purpose of certifcation is
better crop seed of high yielding
adapted varieties. Its success de-
ponds to large extent upon the CO.
operation and interest of the farm
er.
Each crop in the certification pro-
gram must be field inspected and
after harvested, bin inspected.
These inspections are carried out
by representatives of the Seed Ger
tification Committee OF the Del
aware Crop Improvement Associa-
ton. This committee consists of the
Executive Committee of the Del
aware Crop Improvement Associa-
ton, the Extension Agronomist of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, and the Seed Analyst
of the State Board of Agriculture.
Two classes of seed are recog-
nized. The great bulk of seed pro-
duced by farmer-seed growers, in
spected by the Seed Certification
Committee, is included in the Ger
titled class. Producers of seeds in
this class should be interested in ii
