everyone kept their homes and
yards clean and rubbish-free."
How fire-safe is your housekeep-
ing?
Look over this Spring Cleanup

Today Proclaimed
Arbor-Bird Day

Governor ]. Caleb Boggs has
proclaimed Friday. Aaril IS. as
Arbor and Bird Day IN the State Of
Delaware and has called on all
schools public and private, indi-
viduals and organizations to mark
it's observance by pIantine trees
and shrubs for adornment purposes
as well as to serve az shields for
the states wildlife.
The chief executive pointed out
that generous use of our natural
resources, sometimes in a wasteful
manner, made possible the rapid
growth of the state and nation. He
reminded that it as significant that
our forebearers were thoughtful
enough TO set aside one day each
year to call public attention to
these great assets and to plan con-
servation methods by calling for
new paintings on that day.
Governor Boggs urged that ex-
ercises be conducted for the pur-
pose of advancing the knowledge
and appreciation of trees and
shrubs, and the protection and en-
eouragement of birds, that we, as
a people may learn to administer
wisely and beneficiaIly all natural
resources"
The proclamation follows:
WHEREAS. in the comparatively
short span or one hundred end
seveny mine years of sovereign in
dependence Of this state and ma
ton, phenomenal progress has been
made in human freedom and well
fare; and
WHEREAS. it is recognized that
this progress in very large mea-
sure has been founded upon and
nurtured by the extensive and in
some cases. the wasteful use of
our vast stores of natural re-
sources; and
WHEREAS. our sarebears, In
recognition OF the benefits and in
ffuence of these bountiful gifts up
on the lives and fortunes of our
people and their responsibilities to
posterity, devised ways and means

The stage of the University Of
Delaware's Mitchell Hall will as
sumo an International favor late
this month when an organization
of students from foreign nations
presents a musical program with
routines from their native lands.
The Cosmopolitan Club will pre-
sent the Festival Of Nations at 8:15
p. m, on Friday, April 20, in an ad-
mission free performance in Mitch
ell Hall.
The program is under the direc-
ton of Raiaii Alfalfa, native of
Jerusalem and graduate student
in chemical engineering. Alfalfa has
organized eleven different groups
Cor the show, with most making
more than one appearance in the
program.
A recent addition to the festival
is Gordon Cameron. native Canadi-
an and former Royal Military Col
lege musician, who will give sew
eral bagpipe selections in the show.
Israeli dances, featuring the Ar
den Dancers from Arden, Del. also
are planned, as is selection of
Greek dances, executed by a group
of Greek students on the university
campus.
Three Arabian graduate students,
two in chemistry and one in civil
engineering, will take the spotlight
for several popular Arab songs
Two Delaware goods from Hawaii
plan a routine of the dance num-
bers of that land. including the
popular Hula dance.
Audrey Elise DeLano, junior
in she school of arts and science
and aative American. will give
a performance of Russian ballet,
while FRANCHISE Puech, arts and
science senior of 8 Rue De Tour
non, Paris. France, will be fea-
tured in the famous French can
can.
The Latins have a portion of the
program also, with Yolanda Carpin-
teyro of Monterrey, Mexico, and
fernando De La Cuesta of Pereira,
Columbia, doubling in a Latin
American dance program. A group
of Ulzranian students and their
friends will be spotlighted in a
program of Ukranian dances.
The Cosmopolitan Club is head
ed by president Serge Sacharuk,
rscently-naturalized American citi-
zen who was born in Ukrania. The
students are being aided by Mrs.
Dorothy Patterson, club adviser
who is the housemother of the uni
versity's Sussex Hall dormitory.
Production director Alfalfa states
that this years elaborate program
was planned following the encOur-
aging reception of a more limited
program held in Brown Hall last
year. "One of the purposes of the
program is to show our apprecia-
ton for the many advantages in
attending this American university
offered to we students from other
lands" Aualla added that credit
should be given to members of the
cast of the Festival of Nations,
since it is difficult for foreign stu
dents to overcome a reserve bar
rier when transplanted into strange
surroundings.

10-Point Program Sug-
gested For Top Tomato
Yields

A point program for top to
mato yields in 1866 is now available
for all interested farmers planning
to grow this crop this year.
In making these suggestions,
William III. Henderson, County Ag-
ent, states that these practices
have not only been proven sound
by research but also in practical
application by farmers all over the
state through the 10 Ten Tomato
Club
The 10 points for top yields are:
/. Start with Good Soil-Plan
ahead to have a well-drained fer
tile soil for your tomatoes. Rotate
your tomato fields with other crops
to aid in disease control and in
crease fertility.
2. Use Organic Matter-The 1855
drought proved the importance of
organic matter. Plow down a good
cover crop containing legume.
Rye and vetch or rye and crimson
clover or barley and crimson clio
yer make excellent cover crops.
Use s tons of poultry manure or
10 to 15 tons of stable manure, IL
available, on the cover crop.
g. Fertilize the Crop Wisely
Use dolemitic limestone in your
rotation as often as needed by soil
tests. Plow down part OF your feT-
tilIzer. Band or sidedress some at
planting time. Sidedress again as
late as possible with nitrogen and
potash. This siGedresslng should
contain 20 to 30 lbs. of nitrogen
and 40 to so lbs. OF potash. Depend
on soil tests for the amount of
fertilizer and analysis needed ON
your farm.
a. Plant Varieties Suited to Your
nditions-ImpToved Garden State
and Rutgers are the standard pro-
cessing tomatoes. St0ckescross 4
and have also been satisfactory.
If you have had wilt, choose a re-
sIstant variety.
5. Early Planting is Important
Plant before May 10. Later plant
ing reduces yield.
6. Good transplanting practices
are Necessary Transplant as soon
as possible after you receive plants.
Grade your plants, discarding
weak, spindly. diseased or poorly
colored plants. Use plenty OF start
er solution. Be sure plants are set
deep and firm. Space plants 5'x2a
7. Irrigation often Pays-Irri-
gate if possible during extended
drought periods to prevent blossom
end rot and increase set and size
The latter half of the season Is
usually more important than the
first half for irrigation.
8. Control Weeds and Cultivate
Carefully - All cultivation after
June 10 must be shallow to prevent
severe root damage.
3. Control Insects and Diseases
Start early to control insects. A
complete spray or dust program in
July. August and September is alb
solutely necessary. Complete de-
tails on a spray or dust program
can be secured from the Extension
Office, Georgetown.
10. Pick the Crop Properly and
Promptly-Pick at least once a
week. Pick only good red ripe to-
n1atoes and leave culls In the field
Supervision of pichers and cooDera-
tIon with careful workers will pay
big dividends.

ing tomatoes call or write the Ex-

Buyers Plan
.MoreCaution,
Retailers Told

! NEW YORK, Jan. 10 o.
Consumers will have more
money to spend this year but
they may hang onto it a little
tighter, retail merchants were
told yesterday
! Addressing the 45th annual
convention of the National Re-
tail Dry Goods Association,
Harvard Economist Malcolm P.
McNair declared:
Consumer spending. while
running ahead for a consider
able part if not all of the year.
nevertheless will not be so strong
a propellant of business boom
as in 1885"
Americans will save more of
their money this year than last,
Mr.. McNair predicted. and
they'll spend less on durable"
goods like refrigerators and cars.
1 There's a slim chance that
soft" goods-and hence de-
partment stores-may get a big
ger slice of the consumers
dollar, he went on, but there
are also considerations that
point the other way. One deter
rent to free and-easy spending
cited by Mr. McNair: The rec
ord installment debt piled up
in 1856. The increase in in
stallment debt totaled more
than SIS billion.
Department stores should
average about four per cent more
business in the February
through July period this year
than in the like six months of
1855, Mr.. McNair estimated.
Department store profits should
continue to improve, he said.
and there's good chance that
this will be "the most profitable
spring season experienced in the
department store business since
1913"
D.. AS for business overall, he said,
1856 should be "a year of mod
crate advance. a year in which
inflationary forces will be held in
check, a year of some fiattening
out, year in which gross ma
tional product and total retail
sales may well make new highs
but which. by the time the 18th
month rolls around, quite con-
ceivable could witness a number
of business induces in moderate
retreat in short. a year of
going around a not very abrupt
corner"
