Lights Recommended
For More Winter Eggs

Perhaps there is no recOmm end
ed poultry practice that has re-
ceived more general use among egg
producers than that of using
lights in the laying house during
the fall and winter months. Yet,
we still find many poultrymen who
are not using lights, says Ray
Lloyd, Asst. County Agent.
Lights in the poultry house will
increase egg production during the
fall and winter by 20 to 309o under
favorable management conditions.
This is the time of year when the
price of eggs usually is highest.
The increased production and the
higher price will mean extra pro-
fits to the poultryman who uses
lights.
Now is the time of year to start
turning on the lights. RecOmmen-
dations are to maintain a 14-hour
day using either morning or eve
ming lights. Evening lights require
some method of dimming so the
birds will find their way to perch
es before the lights are completely
off.
A 60-watt bulb every feet in a
24-foot house is the recommenda-
tion given by S. L. McHenry, Ex-
tension Poultry Specialist, Univ.
of Delaware. Another way to fig
ure the bulb needs is to allow two
60-watt bulbs for each 100 layers.
Dome renectors and automatic
switches will add to the efficiency
and convenience of using lights.
Both are relatively inexpensive
and easy to install.
To insure best results with
lights, Mr. Lloyd suggests that you
be regular with the lights every
day and do not interrupt the sched-
ule by forgetting to turn them on,
be sure the light bulbs are kept
clean so as to get the full value of
the lights, and adjust the time of
turning on the lights by the length
of the day.

The 8th Grade Social Studies
Glass, under the leadership of Mrs.
Mitchell, is enjoying a unit on
friendliness. For an assignment,
each student was to search in mag
azines, books, ETC., for a poem that
would show the students concep-
ton of a friend. If the students
wished, they could create a poem.
The following poem brought in by
Catherine Turner was thought to
be the best.
A FRIEND
A friend to me is someone who
l held in high esteem;
A person who will lend a hand
And work on friendships team;
Someone who will not disappear
When trouble comes along,
But rather gives out with support
Until again I'm strong;
An individual who tells me
When l am right or wrong,
One who will share my woes
with me
AS well as my delight,
Not necessarily someone who has
a lot in gold,
But one with sincere heart
That can't be bought or sold;
A priceless gem so seldom found
Is one who won't pretend,
So ends my own conception of
The meaning of a friend.
Since last week was Fire Pre-
vention Week, the pupils in their
respective ,classrooms reviewed
and learned rules for the preven-
tion of fires. On Friday. October
18th, the 3rd grade gave an assem-
bly, program centered around the
work they had d1ne in their class
pertaining to the week. During the
program, the pupils showed post
ers they had made.
Also during Fire Prevention
Week the pupils were farther treat
ed with a display by the members
of the Carlisle Fire Co. of Milford
The men in their firemen's garb
came to the school in two fire
trucks. We had fire drill at which
time everyone left the building and
assembled on the playground near
the fire trucks. At this time. the
firemen demonstrated fighting fire
from a high place. The ladder on
the truck used was S5 feet long.
Two firemen mounted the ladder
and water was turned on to show
how fire is actually fought. The si-
rem was sounded to the amusement
of the smaller children.

How To Cut Harvest
Losses OF SOybeans

On the average, farmers now
lose about is percent of their total
soybean yield in the process of har-
vesting, reports Ernest Scarbor-
ough, agricultural engineer at the
University of Delaware. He says
that a few rules observed at har-
vest can cut this loss in half and
increase yields by or bushels
an acre.
1t takes only 4 beans per square
foot to total a bushel per acre,
Scarborough points out. He lists
major loopholes through which
losses occur. They are, shatter
losses, cutter bar and reel losses,
cylinder losses, and, separation
and cleaning losses.
To reduce shatter losses, Scar
borough recommends harvesting
before the beans become too dry.
He says that losses in the field be-
fore harvesting usually can be held
to 1 percent if this recommenda-
tion is followed.
The actual amount of cutter bar
and reel losses can be checked by
tossing a piece of canvas or a
small sheet of plywood under the
combine when it's operating. Cut
ter bar losses will be found under
the canvas along with shatter loss;
rack losses will be found on top
of the canvas.
To. cut down on cutter bar loss
es, cut as close to the ground as
possible. Each additional inch in
height of cut means an average
loss of IA bushels an acre.
Second recommendation in les
sening cutter bar losses is to ad-
just the reel speed to be 25 to so
percent faster than ground speed.
A higher speed does a better job
of laying beans on the platform
but increases losses from shattered
pods.
Third recommendation is to use
reel guards to divide the vines and
prevent pile-up on the cutter bar
when you are working in lodged
or down vines. Three or four ex-
tension fingers on each bar also
will help when operating in down
beans.
Cylinder losses show up in the
form of cracked beans. Especially
in the case of the Clark variety,
excessive cylinder losses will show
up if the beans are too mature.
They should be threshed at a mois-
ture content of IL to IA percent.
Time-of-day can make a big differ
ence in your moisture content.
If you use some of the beans for
seed, it will be better to leave
some pods unthreshed rather than
overthresh and damage the beans.
Cracked beans will mean poor ger
mination.
To reduce cylinder losses, cylin-
der speed should be about one-half
normal speed, or as low as 400 to
500 r.p.m.'s, To check this, you can
get a speed indicator from your
machinery dealer for as little as
so or SO.
To reduce separation losses, use
more air than when combining
wheat Don't let too many beans
get into the tailings. They will
probably be cracked the second
time they go through the cylinder
if you do.
For cleaner beans, use larger
weed screens than with wheat. If
you can get a premium for clean
beans, it viii pay you to get clean
securing attachment for your bin
elevator.
Scarborough has one last sug-
gestion to reduce harvest losses of
beans. He advises level cultivation
next summer. Cleaner cultivation,
leaving little if any ridge, will pay
off Of harnncf tina nnYf fall

Moons events to be climaxed with
a 1OO-lap feature. Comprising the
daylight slate this week will be
three 1O-lap qualifying races, con-
ISOLATION, Hobby race, and the giant
5O-mile contest. Winding up the
seasons stock car activity will be
a regular program, with a 25-lap
feature, on Sunday, October %.
With the seasons point standings
closing on October 28, the boys in
the top brackets are really in there
fighting to boost their final stand
ings. AS an added incentive Double
Points will go to all feature start
ers in this Sundays long distance
struggle and regular points the
following week. Handsome checks
are awarded each Speedway point
king by NASCAR during their an
nual Speed Week in Daytona Beach
so it boiis down that the more
points a driver has at the end of
the season, the larger the check
he will receive.
Milton, Delaware's thirty~year-
old Paul Walker continues to pace
the sportsman division, and George
town ace, Howard Slaughter, still
heads the modified section. If
either driver should miss out on the
Double Point race this Sunday
chances are he will lose the crown
as Dean Pelton, Silver Spring, Md,
