Proclamation On
Sight Saving Month

Whereas, the generous gift of
good sight is one of mankind's most
precious treasures; and,
Whereas, human sight, once lost,
cannot be regained; and,
Whereas, human sight is con-
stantly threatened by disease, in
jury and neglect; and,
Whereas, each of us has the re-
sncrsibility of protecting his own
eyesight and guarding that of his
children; and,
Whereas, the National Society
for the Prevention of Blindness has
set aside the month of September
as "Sight-Saving Month";; now
therefore,
| hereby designate September as
sight Saving Month" in this COM
munity, and | call upon all our
citizens to join with the National
Society for the Prevention of
Blindness and The Delaware Com
mission for the Blind, in it's OBJ
servance. I earnestly recommend
that each of us, during the month
of September, take steps to bec ONE
acquainted with the personal facts
of proper eye health and lend our
fullest support to the efforts of re-
search scientists to unlock the
mysteries of the diseases which
cause blindness.

Sheep Growers To
Dine Next Monday
Continued from first page)

Continued from first page)
The association handled more
than $1,000 lbs. of wool for rs pro-
ducers at the third annual wool
pool in June. Growers received at
least eight cents more per pound
by pooling their production as a
graded product as against selling
it individually for salvage prices
The sheep growers meet regular
ly on a bi-monthly schedule to CONT
pare growing practices, to hear,
specialists, and to exchange mar
ket information. A lamb pooling
program is now being considered
as another marketing step which
should increase farm profits.
Lamb and wool are two of the
few items of farm produce now in
short supply. Only about a fourth
of domestic demands is produced
in this country. Delaware growers
who marketed their wool through
the pool received 21.5 cents per
pound as an incentive payment
through the ASC program of the
United States Department of Agr1-
culture. Funds for the incentive
program come largely from tariffs
collected on imported wool. Do
mestic wool production is deemed
vital in periods of national emer-
gency.

th efigures for both real estate and
production loans outstanding" Mr.
| Messick said. "It is estimated that
about three-fourths of the farm
real estate loans are for purposes
normally associated with inter1ne-
diate-length loans. This would in
oiude such projects as the purchase
of new machinery, improvement of
livestock herds, etc. Beyond that,
substantial portion of the pro-

ginning of 1856 carried a repay
ment period of longer than one
year"
Mr.. Messick gave several rea-
sons for the increasing Importance
of interme mediate-term credit in fl
nancing Delaware farmers. First, "
he said, farmers haven't had as
much income to repay their obli-
gatiCns during recent years as they
had during The war and early post
war years. Second, farm capital
requirements have increased to a
very high level. Finally, changing
habits OF farmers customers have
caused a notable shift to different
cropping programs. Each farmer
who has made Ss:ch adjustments
employed new capital to do it.
These investments made through
the use of intermediate-term cred
it have greatly contributed to
more efficient farm businesses in
Delaware and to a higher standard
of living for all Americans" Mr..

weight of at least 275 lbs. All pigs
must be of good Hampshire type
and at least 500 of the litter must
be eligible for registration.
The County Agent, George Va
paa, will be visiting Mr.. Gilbert's
farm several times in the next few
weeks to certify the earruarking
(identification) and the weighing
of litters Research work has
shown that time weight gains are
a good index to the quality of
breeding stock. The SOW which can
produce pigs that gain weight
quickly under good management
deserves special recognition.
Mr.. Gilbert has been raising
hogs for a number of years. He
started with the Yorkshire breed
near Sellersville, Pennsylvania,
but finds that the Delaware mar
kets seem to prefer "a black hog,
which is why he now grows Hamp-
shires. He has dozen sows and
gifts due to farrow soon. They
have been bred to either Gilbert's
King or Gi,bert's Prince, which are
out of Lee and Cedar Point Farm
breeder stock.
Were shooting for consistent
production in our breeding pro-
gram," says Mr.. Gilbert "Our last
market hogs produced 100 lbs. of
gain on 379 lbs. of feed, and like
the broiler grower, we are trying
to improve on the feed efficiency.
Good breeding is at least part of
the story. The boy and / are get
