Potato Marketing
News Letter

A poor year for potatoes like 1855
aid everyone gets excited about
doing something about it. That's
the case whether it be in Michigan,
Maine, Colorado, Virginia, or Della
ware. Just what to do about the
situation in the coming years-no-
body seems to know exactly. There
are lots of ideas. some good, some
impractical; but, the important
thing is the belief BY potato people
that improvements can be made in
the marketing system for potatoes
and the realization that if better
marketing programs are developed
it must be done by potato market
ing program for Delaware, or any
other area, or on a nationwide
basis must be one the growers can
believe in and will support faith
fully through good as well as bad
years.
Here are some Of the ideas dis
cussed by the National Potato
Council meeting in Chicago re-
Gently.
1. Extension of marketing a.
greements to all growing areas.
Some people now believe that a
national agreement may prove to
be the only longtime permanent
solution to the orderly movement
of potatoes. others want agree
ments limited to state or regional
boundaries.
O. Laws to prohibit the sale for
human consumption of all potatoes
grading below U. S. No. 2.
3. Laws to require the grading
and grade labelling Of all potatoes
offered for sale.
4. A more practical and workable
potato diversion program to help
make items ~. (2), and CD above
more effective. Government assis-
tance may be needed here.
5. Acreage allotment and mar
keting quotas. Growers are about
evenly divided on this question
Growers in the old established
areas tend to favor the idea. Those
in new areas that are still growing
don't want this growth shut off by
acreage allotment.
What about Delaware? Several
ideas are being discussed at the
present time. They include:
l. The advantages and disadvan-
tages of federal and state D7al.ket-
ing orders and agreements.
2. The place and need for diver
sion facilities for small and poor
quality potatoes, such as a starch
plant
8. The need for better market
ing and sales organization for sell
ing Delaware potatoes to better ad-
vantage. Such a sales organization
could be organized as a private
profit-making firm, non-profit
corporation Of growers or as a
cooperative marketing association.
Such ventures involve major de-
cisions on capital, management.
personnel, operation policies, ETC.,
and require considerable time and
planning. Most of all they would
need the loyal support Of the grow
ers they are designed to serve.
Undoubtedly you have ideas on
how both national and local po-
tato marketing programs can be inn
proved. Why not get out and dis.
cuss them with your neighbors.
They. too. probably have ideas you
haven't thought of. Eventually you
will want to bring all your thoughts
and suggestions together to for
mHlate a plan of action
That is the way good. .IOng-Iasting
programs are built. If in
your discussions and action pro-
gram, you feel that the facilities
and services of the Extension Ser
vice can be Of help. call on us
Your county agent and production
and marketing specialist at State
and Federal level are willing and
anxious to assist in any way poss-
ible.

Some Way to Avoid
Bedtime Pandemonium

one. Even before that. it
should be an added help to
play soothing music.
Here are some suggestions
for games before bedtime:
/. Family singing.
2. A continued homemade
story. If one parent starts
the story. a child can carry
on the tale, etc.
3. A family orchestra with
homemade instruments.
4. OF course. reading a story
and telling about children In
other countries are the old
standbys. The latter is great
fun with colored illustrations.
! have met some children
who love to hear about what
Mummy and Daddy did when
they were little. The questions
are very entertaining.
S. The old-fashioned bean
bag has new glamor! Now it
is found in the shape of ami
mails. A green calico bean bag
frog is easier to catch than
the old style. 1t can also in
spire q parent or child to talk
about frogs in general. Next
thing you know the CONVERSE
ton may turn to Cuba, where
frogs grow In abundance.
Copy Sounds
6. Speaking of frogs, it often
amuses and quiets a young
child to try to copy the sounds
of birds and animals.
If We try this, it is wise to
copy only domestic ones like
a lamb or COW. To try to roar
like a lion may not only excite
the children, but also bring
complaints from the neighbors.
Z. Many times a child will
lose his restlessness If one of
his parents will hold him and
pat him to the accompaniment
of soft music or a story. The
gentle tones Of the parents
and a quiet room are essential
in quieting a nervous child.

develop the spiritual side in
their children's natures have

Quiet?"
I know exactly what you
mean. Every parent can prob
ably remember evenings before
bedtime which were like night

Sometimes children behave
this way because they are
tired. When children become
overexcited. playing and
laughing so hard they become
almost historical. 1t is foolish
to try to control them by a
command.
Instead of obeying. they
may burst into noisy crying.
Because we are trying to calm
the youngsters, it only makes
matters worse if they are rep
rimanded or spanked.
It is natural for children to
cry. To scold them when they
are nervous brings on a tor
rent Of tears in their already
overstimulated state. When
we add to their tension. we
are defeating our own pur-
pose.

Mrs. Keen led the six of spades
and the five went on from
dummy Now, on the bidding. it
was clear to Mr.. Champion that
his partner held practically
nothing - certainly no quick
entry of any kind.
Therefore, if Mrs. Keen was
going to run her spade suit,
entry to her hand for that pur-
pose could be gained only in the
spade suit itself. So Mr.. Cham
pion made the very fine play of
the queen of spades. If Mr..
Muzzy had the guarded king, as
seemed likely, he could hardly
duck since, as far as he knew,
the ace of spades was on his left.
If Mr.. Champion played the
ace of spades at trick one. Mr.
Muzzy could duck the second
lead of the suit. win the third,
and then the connection be-
tween the defending hands
would be broken.
Beautifully thought out. But
wait. Mr.. Muzzy serenely played
the deuce of spades on the first
trick. Startled by this develop
ment, Mr.. Champion now de-
cided his partner must have the
king.
He proceeded to lay down the
ace and another one. But Mr..
Muzzy won the third round of
the suit. lost a trick to the king
of diamonds, but romped home
with nine tricks.
Mr.. Champion let out a roar
of rage. why didn't you win
the first trick with the king of
spades, Muzzy?" he demanded.
How many tricks would l
have won then?" asked Mr..
Muzzy innocently.
Mr.. Champion swallowed
hard. Eight" he snarled, but

piled. How can it be better to

been dangerously underestimated
for long time.

Gators stressed the Importance of
tolerance and understanding in
the handling of questions involv-
ing both religion and segregation
as they relate to public schools.
This all-important, comprehen-
sive report is packed with infor-
nation which should be freely
disseminated among the Ameri-
can people and intently studied
by them. It is to be remembered
seriously so that all that might
be done now to stifle or scuttle
the forward march of education
will appear later as a cumber-
some burden to our poSterity in
a fast-advancing world of ripen-

The segregation fight should not
preoccupy our considerations
which should be given to the best
improvements for our future citi-
zens. The change-over in our
society is inevitable - let's face
it and start doing something
tangible about it. The last-ditch
stand of segregationists is going
to be costly and quite regrettable.

It was not easy for the Ne
