Observe Precautions
In Making Corn Silage

CONTINUED from first page)
in carotene if the leaves are still
green. However, in drought years
when stalks and leaves begin to dry
out it is better, Vapaa says, to en-
sile corn earlier than usual with
out waiting for the early dent stage.
A one-half inch cut is desirable
for corn harvested in the early dent
shape. Dry corn will compact best
if il is cut about one-fourth inch.
Dirt impairs seriously the quail
ty of corn silage. Soil bacteria tend
to promote spoilage. Muddy corn
bundles mean trouble" he adds.
I"It is better to operate the corn
binder a little ahead of the haul
ers."
Vapaa reminds also that if part
of the corn is rather dry, to ensile
lit first and put the greener corn in
top half of the silo. If corn is
frosted or very dry-add water.
Water helps compact it.
If leveling and tramping seem
necessary tramp mostly along the
wall since silage does not settle as
readily there as in the center. Dry
and light silage usually calls for
leveling and thorough tramping.
After the silo is filled, tramp the
silage every day for ten minutes.
Tramp along the wall. Repeat the
operation for about five consecutive
days.
These suggestions will help, the
county agent assures, to obtain
quality silage. "but remember
quality starts with the stalk in the
field"

FRIENDS

X/Tk F4AIk #
This morning /
have watched hun
dreds of boys and
- girls on their way TO
school and higher education.
There had to be parents at
home who sent them off with
high hopes for the future and
the wish that each would find
his particular niche. That is
a common feeling with all par
ents. Never before have so
many fine opportunities been
offered to the youth of today
and in go many fields of edu-
cation. The will in each child
is the necessary spark that
will bring about the realization
of each parents wish. Whether
IL be scientific or practical,
there are eager employers for
the boy and girl who has ap-
piled themselves to the task at
hand. Perhaps there are those
who wish they might have
some of those school years over
again and also have ideas
about how the time could have
been improved. That probably
applies to all of us who could
have done better and more.
The unfinished cafeteria has
made necessary holding one
session each day this week but.
come Monday it is probable
that full schedule will be main
tanned. All good wishes for the
school year 1856.
Bob Gibson spoke before a
church group this week and
gave an interesting account OF
the months he spent in Korea
with the u. S. Army. 1t was
first hand information, as you
would know, and the trials of
war ridden country, and the
rehabilitation of the widows
and children of Korean service
men, took much of the time of
the talk. Bob was high in his
praise of the missionary effort
in Korea, but he also said there
was much more of 1t needed.
Bob left this week for the
University of Miami to study
journalism, a field for ghich he
shows a particular bent.

OLD CLAY PIT - The clay pit
located at Milford is one of the
two pits mentioned as being cur
rently in operation in a recent
Delaware Geological Survey Bull
letin issued at the University of
Delaware.
The second active pit is found
near Arden, north of Wilmington.
Both pits are used for brickmak-
ing. Ten others. all located north
of Milford, have been abandoned.
Six of the pits which are no
longer in operation, all formerly
mined for ceramic clay, are loca-
ted in the northwestern corner OF
Delaware near Yorklyn and Hoe
kessin. Four other abandoned ones
appear in Newport, New Castle.
Christiana and Dover.
The bulletin authors, Ira Wen
dell Marine and William Charles
Rasmussen of the u. s. Geologi-
cal Survey. state that while there
are probably other pit sites, and
other active pits" the further de-
velopment of the clay industry is
uncertain. While workable depos-
its of clay may exist undiscovered.
the surface materials Of the Coas-
tai Plain, which includes all but
the northern portion OF the state,
is principally sand and silt. In
this area clays are relatively rare.
