Now our best opportunities for
improving crops, stabilizing farm

markets for farm products are
found through research on the
crops we are already growing,

ment of Agriculture still makes
plant explorations abroad when
there is a pressing need for ma

blight, leafspots on Flowering
Dogwood, and the scab disease of
Fire Thorn.
These diseases weaken plants
so they become easy prey to many
other troubles, especially drought
injury" DR.. Heuberger explains.
Spraying will not only control
these diseases but will add to the
beauty of the trees and shrubs
over the years."
In addition to spraying, he says
all dead twigs and leaves under
the trees and shrubs should be
raked and burned. Remember also
that a little fertilizer helps in
crease vigor.
Sycamore blight is caused by a
fungus. 1t develops best in cool,
wet spring weather. If the spring
weather is cool and wet, most of
the leaves are brown by May.
These leaves fall to the ground
and the tree remains bare until
late summer when a new crop Of
leaves is formed.
The disease can be controlled by
spraying with any one of the fol-
lowing fungicides at the rates
shown for 100 gallons of water:
Bordeaux mixture (8-8-100); Pur-
atized Agricultural Spray Il pint
1907; Tag 331 (1a pint-100); Dith-
ane z-78 or Parzate e pounds
1907; or Captain e pounds-100J.
Make the first application when
the buds are breaking and con-
tinue applications at 10 to IA day
intervals until three or four have
been made.
Leafspot diseases on Flowering
Dogwood are caused by spot an
thracnose and Septoria leafspot.
They seem to be most common in
southern Delaware. Spot anth-
racnose attacks leaves, flowers
and twigs, while the Septoria spot
appears only on leaves. They
both give the foliage very rag
ged appearance.
The first spray application
should be made when the flower
buds are beginning to open, which
usually occurs about nid-April in
Delaware. Then, repeat applica-
tions monthly until mid-August.
Use any one of the following
fungicides at the rates shown for
100 gallons of water. Manzate

Sire Study Started
At University of Delaware

A sire study and evaluation
program will soon be started at
the University of Delaware, ac-
cording to Delmar Young, extern
sion dairyman. This program will
include analyzing and evaluatingI
the pedigrees of young sires used
in dairy herds. 1t will also pro-
vide information as to where
young sires may be secured which
will increase chances for improv-
ing the production in the herds.
Last year SO Dairy Herd I'm
provement Association proven sire
summaries were received in the
dairy extension Office. Nineteen
of the sires proven increased the
production of daughters over the
dams whereas 81 or 62 per cent of
these sires decrease the produc-
tion.
The fact that 62 per cent of
DHIA sires proven in 1854 de-
creased production points out a.
need for more careful study and
evaluation of pedigrees of herd
sires used in our dairy herds,
Young points out. This study
should include careful analysis of
all production records of individ-
ual animals in pedigrees as well
as evidence pointing to the trans
mitting ability of individuals in
the pedigree.
with the use of proven sires
through the artificial breeding
program, dairymen can select
young herd sires that are sons of
proven sires," he states. These
young sires should also be from
cows that have proven their pro-
duction and their transmitting
ability in performance of their off
spring"
The 10 daughters that increased
production, including all the
breeds having 1877 Granddaughter
comparisons, show these daught-
ers to average 11,727 pounds milk
and 646 pounds butter fat. This
production in 4S2 pounds milk and
32 pounds fat more than the av-
erage production of the dams.
Thirty-one sires that decreased
production include all breeds hav-
ing 321 Granddaughter compari-
sons. These daughters average
9,198 pounds milk and 381 pounds
butter fat. This is III pounds
milk and "a pounds fat less than
the dams.

Delegates Selected For
National All Club Camp

Four of Delaware's outstanding
All members will represent their
state at the 25th National All
Camp to be held in Washington,
D. c., June 1922.
Selected on the basis of their
achievement in leadership, citizen
ship, community service and COM
pletion of projects in home eco
nomics and agriculture are Marie
Woerner, 10, and Edward Wilson,
16, of Newark; Betty Hayes, 16,
Milford, and William Weber, 18,
of Delmar.
Each state sends four delegates
and leader to attend the Ma
tional event. The camp program,
based around the theme "Your
Government, All and You," will
include speakers, tours, visits with
the different branches of govern
ment, and discussion groups.
Being chosen a delegate to Ma
tional Camp is one of the highest
honors a club member can receive,
according to Sam Gwinn, state
All club leader. 1t offers oppor-
tunities to learn about the FEEDER
al Government, develop an under
standing of national problems, un-
derstand the relationship of world
problems, share ideas, plan for
improvement of camp programs
and develop an appreciation OF
club work as a nationwide Exten-
sion Service program.
While the delegates are attend
ing their sessions the leaders will
attend meetings which provide op-
portunities to develop and ex-
change ideas and methods for the
improvement of All club work.
Mr.. Gwinn will accompany the
Delaware delegates to Washington
and take part in the sessions.

residents Of Quaker City, died
at 7:25 p. m. Tuesday in a Cam

He was born March Is, 1862,
son of Chokley and Lydia

most Of his life in eastern Noble
county.
Surviving are his widow, Ida,
who is also hospitalized; a
daughter, Mrs. Neva Jeffries and
two grandchildren.

program proposed by the PreSl-
dent would be $3,987, ,871, 200, or
Statewide average of $501.83
for every citizen of Ohio or
$2,007.32 for a family of four
persons, Ohio Chamber Presi-
dent Harry w. Arnold said.
The estimate of Ohio's share
is based on calculations by the
Ohio Chambers Research De
partment showing that the
States residents and taxpayers
pay 6.39 per cent of the total
Federal tax burden.
In the general policy state
ments of the budget message,
Mr.. Arnold said there is indicat-
ed encouragement of economic
growth and maintainence of the
value Of the dollar. A disappoint-
ing feature of the message, Mr..
Arnold stated, was the request
for a second postponement of
the excise and corporation tax
reductions scheduled for April l.
The Ohio Chamber is urging
that the Administration and Con
greSs make every effort to affect
spending cuts in order that pre-
viously scheduled tax reductions
can be made.
Ohio's estimated share of
$3,987, ,871,200 in Federal taxes
amounts to l.30 times the total
expenditures of $3,067 ,740,311,
including capital outlay for Ohio
schools over the last nine years,
according to Ohio Chamber COM
putation.
1t was also pointed out that
Ohio's share of the Federal bud
get could finance construction of
a $10,000,000 school building in
each of Ohio's 1876 city school
districts; a $5,000,00O school in
each of the 81 exempted village
school districts; and a $1,000,000
school in each of the Lila county
local districts, and still leave
$1,118,871 200 for operation. This
amount would finance schools in
the state for three and one
third years at the 1953-1954
rate of expenditures.
In comparing Noble county's
burden of $3,389, $4,000 in propos-
ed Federal spending, the Ohio
Chambers statistics showed the
cost per capita in the county
would be approximately $4,000.
The statistics also disclosed
that Noble county's burden is
approximately 4 $40 times the
total costs Of operating schools
in the county for the 1952-1953
school year amounting to
$500, ,246.00.
