Good Grazing
Management Helps
Farmers Sell Milk

Great losses occur each year from
Off-favOred milk This can be pre-
vented if proper grazing manage
ment practices are used, according
TO DelmaT j. Young, Extension
dairyman at the University of Del
aware.
To-day the supply of milk is
greater than needed on the market" >"
Young states. There is strong
competition in the sale of milk. If
milk distributors are to keep and
increase their market for milk, they
must have milk of the highest
quality, free from all Objectionable
t1aVOrs and OdOrs. Each dairyman's
market will depend on his ability
to supply this high quality milk"
To meet this situation, Young
suggests the following: Much of the
trouble comes from pasturing the
herd when there is nothing to eat
but garlic. If there is a lot of gar
lie in the pasture, Craze first with
dry cows and heifeTs. Clip the gar
lie before turning out the herd and
rake the clippings.
Turn the cows out onto perman-
ent pasture when the grass and clo-
yer is six inches high. Use a por-
table hay rack in the pasture and
keep hay before the cows at all
times. Take the COWS off good pas
ture with garlic in it by II o'clock
in the morning and before 10 o.
clock at night
You will have more trouble dur
ing cold, wet weather, Young points
out. Do not use the pasture when
| the grass is wet.
There are other causes for off
fiavOrs in milk. Most of these are
easier to handle than garlic. The
most important ones are rye and
| other grassy flavHrs, silage flavor,
and other barn havors. Milk will
pick Up odOrs from the air or from
utensils.

Grow Certified
Seed Crops On
Diverted Acres"

Don't leave those diverted acres"
idle in 1955-plant them to certi-
fed seed crops.
Claude E. Phillips, Extension ag-
rOnOmist at the University of Del
aware says, more and more farm
ers are demanding certified plant
ing seeds. If we continue to meet
these demands, we must step up our
production of certified seed. In
some cases, the use Of land for
certified seed crops will not only
solve the problem of what to do
with diverted acres, it will also add
that cash crop needed to supple
ment the farmers income"
Farmers who have eligible fields
will find it relatively simple to par
ticipate in the certified seed pro-
gram. The first step is to obtain
good planting, seed, either founda-
tiOn or registered The county ex-
tension agent or the extension ae-
economist will help producers lOcate
acceptable seed.
The second step is to send the
tag from the planting seed along
with signed application for IN
spectiOn to the Delaware Crop I'm
prOVement Association. Bov $50.
Newark. The Association charges
an inspection fee which varies ac-
cOrding to the crop. These fees
should be paid at the time of filing
the application. Inspection fees
will be refunded if before the time
of inspection conditions are such
that the crop will not meet certi-
ticatiOn standards.
Final dates for filing applications
for field inspections are as follows:
small grains (wheat, oats, barley,
rye, etc.)-May Is; and soybeans-

must be received and the planting
seed inspected before it is planted

Abused Housewives Arise
AP Newsfeatures

MIAMI, Fla. n Mrs. William P.
Taub is a sympathetic young mo-
ther Of two children and ordinarily
go0d-humored. But she is also the
founder Of an organization which
bodies no good for the future Of man
in his own home.
She has started something called
the Society for the Protection Of
Abused Housewives (SPAH) which
gives just about all the family rul-
ing authority to the wife. A con-
stitutiOn names her president of
the household and bristles with her
rights.
Mrs. Taub offers copies of the
constitution and membership cards
in the SPAH to any woman who
sends so cents.
She says her 21s-year-old son.
Paul, is really the reason for the
SPAH. He kept her so harried and
busy that she decided something
must be done, so she took all rul-
ing authority away from man
kind
'The SPAH's not an organized
gFoUp-nO meetings." she said.
But we find that the time it takes
to get the constitution and find the
section covering the current dis
pute is just about long enough to
let US cool OFF and avert an argu-
ment."
However, an impartial, detached
in other words, male-Observer
who reads the constitution will find
1t is heavily rugged in favor of the
woman. Under it, the man wOuldn't t
stand a chance.
For instance, consider the pro-
visions setting up the executive
branch Of the household govern
ment:
"The president will be female
and the mother of any children in
the household. The president will
be the individual who discharges
the duties Of secretary on. the in
terror, dietician, arbitrator, secre-
tary Of the treasury and myriad
other duties too numerous to men
tiOn.
Let's not beat about the bush
the housewife is the executive
branch"
And consider this article from
the bill of rights:
Money without misery: Hus-
bands are not required to bring
home unopened pay envelopes.
However, sufficient money to more
than meet all requirements should
be provided without complaint. The
amount necessary should be decid-
ed by discussion between husband
and housewife subject to final
decision by the latter"
Those are just samples. The con-
stitutiOn goes on and on in the
same vein
But men, if you ratify the con-
stitutiOn, you've got her promised
to be "cOOk, chauffeur, arbitrator,
laundereT, treasurer, administrator.
purchasing agent, nurse. janitOr,
seamstTess, tutor, decorator and
secretary" It's all there in black
and white.

Plan Your Spring
Garden Now

There's plenty of satisfaction and
amazing production in a small
spring garden.
The garden fever, however, often
persuades folks to plant Il larger
area than they can properly care
for. So when you plan this years
garden, trim il down to your size,
advises Robert F. Stevens, extern
sion hOrticulturist.
Spread out your paintings so the
harvest will extend over a longer
period of time, Stevens suggests. A
garden planted at one time causes
Oyer-pgCductiOn for a short period
and then supplies arc gone.
Plant variety of vegetables.
about 80 are commonly grown in
Delaware. Why not try a new vege-
table each season.
Have commercial fertilizers, in
sCcticides, seed treating chemicals
and other needed equipment on
hand for ready use.
English peas, tuTnips, cabbage
plants, onions, head lettuce and
white potatoes can stand consider
able cold weather and may be
planted four to five weeks before
the last average killing frost.
Other vegetables adapted to early
planting-tWO to three weeks be-
fore the last frost-are radishes.
mustard, beets, carrots and leaf
lettuce.
FINALLY, Stevens says for best re-
suits plant those vegetables suited
to your particular area,
