decision after months of courtshp with the handsome Cap

When Princess Margaret was little girl only six years

But if it due only to the love he had for the divorced
woman he is to be pted for his seshness He was too
weak to sit in the seat of King of England.
The people of England and in fact the peoples of the
great British Empire must be exceedingly proud of their
Princess especially if she eepes the spirit and at

of iron is the most frequent cause
for yellowing, with magnesium
probably ranking second.
In recent years, great progress
has been made in applying iron
in chemical form. 1t has the adj
vantage, too, of remaining avail
able over fairly long periods. Iron
can be applied as foliage spray,
by injection into the tree trunk,
or by injection into the soil where
it will be absorbed by the roots.
Corrective measures taken at

Farm and Home Safety
Feature of All Short Course

A special feature of the annual
All Short Course at the Univers-
ity of Delaware, June 26-29, will
be a demonstration on Farm and
Home Safety. The demonstration
will be presented at the assembly
program on Monday, June 27, and
will be conducted by Mr.. Samuel
Horst, Chief, Farm and Home
Safety Education, State Depart
ment of Public Instruction, Har-
risburg, Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Horst is widely known
throughout Pennsylvania for his
work in the field of Farm and
Home Safety. The demonstration
has been presented to a large
number of groups such as high
school assemblies, teachers meet
ings, college safety classes, farm
ers' meetings, service clubs, ano

Farm Real Estate Up 5 Percent
Despite Equal Drop in Prices


Farm real estate value in Della
ware rose five percent during the
past year despite a drop of five
percent in farm prices.
This apparently means that
farmers still consider farm values
reasonable, says DR.. R. o. Baus-
man, chairman of the department
of agricultural economics at the
University of Delaware.
'"This seems to be especially
true with out-of-state buyers who
find Delaware farm real estate
values reasonable in comparison
with values in other states" DIR.
Bausman points out. "a relatively
large number of t-of-state farm
ers have purchased land in north
ern Kent County and in southern
New Castle County"
For the United States as a
whole, farm real estate values
have increased two percent and
farm prices have dropped four
percent. The largest change in

ask for "amber cane". Beware of
mixed sorghum.
Several methods of seeding are
satisfactory. Generally the soy
beans and sorghum seed are mix
ed together and seeded with a
grain drill. Sometimes the sor-
ghum seed are mixed together and
seeded with a grain drill. Some
times the sorghum will settle to
the bottom of the box and give
uneven seeding. This can be cor
rected by dampening the seed
slightly and mixing thoroughly be-
fore it is put into the box.
The seeding rate per acre is
IL bushels of soybeans thorough
ly mixed with 20 to 25 pounds of
sorghum.
A liberal application of fertiliz-
er is desirable. 400 to 500 lbs.
per acre of 5-10-10 fertilizer will
give excellent results. The ferti-
lizer should not be drilled with
the seed because of danger of in
jury to the termination of the
soybean seed.
The soybean-sorghum mixture
should be harvested for silage just
before the seed gets full ripe and
before the stalks get tough and
woody. A field forage harvester
with cutter car attachment is the
most satisfactory method of har-
vesting. Good silage can be made
without a preservative if there is
at least 40 percent sorghum in the
mixture. However, many farmers
feel that the use of 8 pounds of
sodium metabisulphite per ton
gives them a much better silage.

Boybeans and Sorghum
Good Corn Substitute

If you're looking around for a
good substitute crop for corn sill
age, how about trying soybeans
and sorghum? This crop is one
of the best substitutes for corn
silage, says Frank B. Springer of
the agronomy department at the
University of Delaware. He claims
many farmers are looking for a
crop of this type.
Right now, the middle of June,
is the ideal time to seed soybeans
and sorghum, Springer adds.
Planting now will give a good
yield. The yield may be 10 to Is
percent less than corn silage, but
the nutrient value is about equal.
There are a number of varieties
of both soybeans and sorghum
adapted to Delaware conditions.
Hay type varieties of soybeans
such as Wilson give best yields
but such yellow seeded varieties
as Lincoln and Ogden are salts
factory.
Hegari sorghum is probably the
best for Delaware conditions. This
variety will grow to 5 feet tall.
On very fertile soils shorter va
rieties such as Martin, Plainsman,
or Wheatland may be advisable.
At any rate, stick to one of the
above named varieties. DO not

the precautions all of us should
take, the safety devices we should
use, and the hazards we have in
our homes and on our farms.
The demonstration will deal
mainly with the causes of COM
mon farm and home accidents.
Proper use of fire, chemicals, med
icines, spray material machinery,
household appliances and equip
ment will be stressed by Mr.,
Horst. He will also demonstrate
proper lifting techniques and show
examples of improper wiring and
inadequate electrical equipment
and fuses which cause many farm
fires.

Chemicals Add Years
To Fence Post Life

Chemical treatment will add 10
or is years to the life of elm,
pine, red oak, and maple fence
posts, informs county agent
George Vapaa. He adds that it
doesn't pay to treat more durable
woods like locust, Usage orange,
and red cedar.
1t costs Is to 35 cents for the
material to treat a post, depend
ing on it's size. Small posts will
absorb about one-half gallon of
the chemical, while a 6-inch post
z feet long will absorb about a
gallon.
Farmers who have limited time
and can buy 31s Inch locust posts
for so cents probably can't afford
to treat their own posts. If they
have Trimmings from their own
woodlot and time to do the work
themselves, home treatment will
pay, he says.
Round, seasoned posts take
treatment best. Round posts have
more sapwood exposed and the
sapwood is the part that absorbs
the chemicals. It's important to
peel posts and season them for at
least 4 to 6 months before treat
ing. Dry wood absorbs more of
the solution.
Vapaa suggests copper naph-
thanate, 'penta', or creosote for
treating. Follow directions on
containers for diluting these ma
terials.
Old oil drums welded end to end
with one side cut out makes a
good treating tank. Posts should
be covered with solution at least
4S hours but not longer than 72
hours.
Creosote requires hot-cold
treatment. That means the solu-
tion is heated with the posts in

past year was in the corn belt
where the increase averaged about
six percent. The largest decline
in farm values was in the south
eastern and north western states
where the drop averaged about
two percent.
One of the reasons for the pur-
chases of land in Delaware and in
other states is to increase the size
of farms. Many farms are too
small to justify the heavy invest
ment in machinery which farmers
find necessary. They are also too
small to enable farmers to max
imize efficiency. 1t is probable
that this type of demand can be
expected to have a bolstering eff
feet on the level of land prices for
some time.

Marketing Information
Can Help Farmers

The farmer has a lot of valu-
able marketing aids available that
can increase the efficiency of his
operations, says w. T. McAllister,
Extension marketing specialist at
the University of Delaware.
Farmers are faced with such
problems as what to produce and
how much? When should this
item be sold and where? Market
news can help farmers decide. The
u. S. Department of Agriculture
spends more than 10 million dol
lars annually to get accurate
market news for general public
use.
"Old timers" in livestock pro-
duction will recall the days when
the only source of market infor-
nation was the incomplete and
conflicting reports of trade groups.
Today's market news is accur-
ate, timely and usable. The Uni
versity of Delaware has a free
publication on the subject. 1t is
called Knowing Your Market Re-
ports Can Help YOU" Copies are
available from county agents, or
by writing to the Mailing Room,
Agricultural Hall, University of
Delaware, Newark.
Here are some interpretations
of market terms: Market

vancing. Market firm" means
prices are holding or are shade
higher. Market steady" means
no immediate change. Market

Yellowed Trees Signal Need
of Trace Minerals

Trees suffer from improper nu-
triton just as much as people,
and they may let you know about
it by turning yellow.
Pin oak, white oak, sweetgum,
birches, rhododendron, azaleas and
other species are most vulnerable
to a kind of nutritional deficiency
known as chlorosis.
The cause is lack of one or
more trace elements, such as iron,
magnesium, zinc, boron, or sui
phur, according to A. B. McKin-
stry, field representative for the

In sad and loving memory of
my darling husband, and our
precious daddy, Claude Thompson
Williams, who passed away three
years ago, February IL, 1859.
Three sad years have passed,
since our great sorrow fell.
The shock that we received that
day,
we still remember well.
Its bitter grief, a shock, to part
from one we loved so dear,
but the gates of heaven opened,
and God called him home to rest,
He will never be forgotten,
by those who loved him best.
They say time heals all sorrow,
and helps us to forget,
but time so far has only proved
how much we miss you yet.
God gave us strength to fight it.,
and courage to bear the blow,
but what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
Sadly Missed,
Devoted wife and daughters.
