Seed Permanent Pasture
Between August 25th
And September 18th

Fall seeded permanent pasture
should be put i'm between August
25th and September 18th for the
best results according to County
Agent William H. Henderson.
On most farms the following mix
ture is recommended:
Ladino Clover. 1 pound; Alsike
Glover, 8 pounds; Orchard Grass,
z pounds; Meadow Fescue, 6
pounds; Red Top, pounds.
If land has not been LINED in the
past 4 years apply / ton of ground
limestone per acre. Five hundred
pounds of a 5-10-10 or 300 pounds
of am S-16-16 fertilizer should be
applied at planting time.
A firm seed bed is essential. Di-
vide the seed and broadcast it in
two directions at right angles to
each other to insure good cover
age. Cover the seed not more than
one-haf inch on light soils and
just barely cover it ON heavy soils.
Cultipacking both before and after
seeding lis a fine way to insure a
good stand.
For additional information ON
seeding pastures contact the Coun-
ty Extension Office, Georgetown,

Permanent Pasture"

Some Patch Of
WatermeIOns

Eugene Brasher, head of the
University of Delaware Horticul-
tural Department, says that this is
the '.grownin 'ist" watermelon sea-
son he has ever seen at the agri-
cultural research station near
Georgetown-even if the cold
spring this year did make the
melons 10 days late.
He reports that one of their
watermelon experimental plots har-
vested last week yielded no less
than $50 misunderstanding melons
of an average 80 lb. size from less
than an acre of ground. And this
was only the first pickiligs, he
noted. That many more ought to
come from the next two or three
pickings, he predicts.
Just in case you like your water
melons by the ton. that adds up
to about 71a tons of watermelon
from a plot little bigger than 200
feet by 200 feet, he says.

Feeding Cows Before

daily couldn't eat all of their ra-

Boy Scouts Work
For Registration

A major activity of the Boy
Scouts of Americas Four-Year
Program, Onward for God and
My Country" will be a nation
wide campaign to urge citizens to
register and vote in the elections
this fall
DR.. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief
Scout Executive, said that a rec
ord membership of over 4,175,000
Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers
and adult leaders will take part in
the 1856 Get-Out-the-Vote cam
paign, jointly sponsored by the
Boy Scouts OF America and the
Freedoms Foundation, Inc, Of Val
ley Forge.
The campaign will be strictly
non-partisan in its concept and
execution, the Chief Scout Execu-
tive said
AS we make preparations for
this participation" he said in a
message TO the nations 53S local
Boy Scout councils, 1--WE recall the
outstanding successes we expert
enced in our last similar cam
paign. Many people have called it

In 1852 Scouts distributed more
than one million posters and thir-
" million Liberty Bell doorknob
hangers to the homes of America,
which helped to bring a record
turnout of 81 100000 voters.
! Calling the campaign an oppor-
tunity to serve the nation, DR..
Schuck said it, will have two major
outcomes.
! Through participation of Scout
ings' entire membership, great
influence, he feels, can be exert
ed among parents, relatives, neigh
bors. and others to produce rec
ord vote and thereby strengthen
the nation.
Every Scout taking part, he said,
will better understand his respon-
lsibility as a citizen.
He called on the nations local
Boy Scout councils to make every
phase of the campaign dramatic.
colorful, and outstanding in order
to capture the enthusiasm and inn
agination of every American citi-
lZen.
The success of the campaign. he

Save kitchen labor on Labor
Day week-end-There are many
convenient ''best buys" at the
stores this week to help you do
just that. Potato prices are much
lower now and what's better than
a big salad bowl full of potato
salad. To. go with the salad serve
tomatoes and corn on the cob,
both or very plentiful and for the
most part quality is excellent
When selecting these vegetables
look for firm smooth tomatoes and
corn with tight, green husks, pre-
ferably corn that has been kept
ice cooled or under refrigeration.
Don't forget cabbage for slaw;
another good buy"
Thrifty cold cuts such as bo-
logna, luncheon meat, liverwurst
and salami are handy for light
holiday meals and for outdoor
eating. Delmarva frying chickens.
turkeys and picnic hams are other
reasonably priced meats for a
weekend with minimum kitchen
work. For those of you who like
charcoal steaks, look for week
end specials to help the food bud
get out on this item.
Fresh fruits and melons are ex-
cellent buys this week and offer
a good opportunity to save on the
food bill. Peaches would make a
fine dessert for people of all ages.
Prices are very reasonable and
the wide variety of ways to serve
this fruit makes it a favOrite with
everyone. Watermelon and can
taloupe, old favorities for out
door eating, are the lowest they
have been so far this year Moth
ing could be easier or more de-
licious than a slice of ice cold
melon. Lines are another excel
lent buy and can do good job
of solving the beverage problem.
