My Visit To
The Marlu Farms
by Raymond Marvel
Houston, Del.

On June Is, ] visited the Marlu'
Farm with the Delaware Jersey
Cattle Club members. We arrived
at the farm about 11:00. The group
was greeted by the manager of the
Farm, Mr.. Curtis Hobson.
Our first visit was to the testing
barn. Here we saw several Jersey
cows that were on official tests.
Mr.. HObsOn went over the pToduc-
tion records, classificaticns and
breeding of each cow. While at
this barn we saw Marlu Milady,
the new National Milk Champion
which produced 24,619 lbs. milk
and l JOG lbs. fat.
Our mex, stop was at the calf
barn. Here we say many calves
from 4 days of age to and
Mr.. Hobson told us their
feeding program which is as fol-
lows: the calves are fed not over
2 gallons of milk (mixed as fol-
lows: one-third water to two
thirds milk. Milk is fed until the
calves will eat two pounds of grain
and they are fed all the timothy
hay they can eat While at the calf
barn l sam something that was new
to me-the electric fly screen which
seemed to be doing quite a job of
killing flies.
Our next stop was at the heifer
barn. Here Mr.. Hobson told us his
ideas as to how heifers should be
raised. He said that he felt that
young heifers should be raised in
an open shed barn with the heifers
divided into their own age groups.
After lunch which was picnic
style with Mr.. Hobson serving
Marlu milk and ice cream we went
back to the testing barn for a
Judging contest. Mr.. HObson select
ed two classes for us, one of Aged
Cows, all classified Excellent and
a beautiful class of 2-year-OIds. Mr..
Oleski, the New Jersey Dairy Spe-
cialist, did the Official placing and
gave the reasons for his placings.
After the judging contest, Mr..
HObson showed us the bull barn
where we saw some very beautiful
bulls, among them being a son of
Marlu Milady.
Our last stop was at the milking
barn where we saw 64 head of COWS
that are milked two times a day,
there are about 200 milking cows
in this Marlu herd. To me the out
standing COW in this barn was
cow that only milks from two
quarters and has repeatedly given
over 10000 lbs. of milk from only
these two quarters. This was the
last barn we visited and l know
everyone enjoyed the trip and
learned much from it.

Health Board Warns
On ASiatic Flu

At a meeting in Dover last night,
the State Board of Health again
warned of the probability of an epi-
demic of Asiatic influenza in Del
aware this Fall because this cOun-
try already has Deen invaded by
the virus that has caused wide
spread epidemics in many of the
far eastern countries.
DR.. Floyd ]. Hudson, Executive
Secretary of the State Board of
Health, stated that the disease ap-
pears to be relatively mild and up
to last week had caused only 3
deaths in 10000 cases in this coun-
try. It was pointed out that the
symptoms of this disease are usual
ly as follows: a slight chill follow
ed by a temperature from 1929 f.
to 104o F. and accompanied by a
sore throat, cough, headache and
aches in tie muscles and joints. DR..
Hudson emphasized thai penicillin
and other anti-biotic drugs are of
no use and recommended that per-
sons who are infected should go
to bed until "a hours after the tenn
perature returns to normal. Il doc
tor should be called Immediately
at the Honset of the disease.
DR.. Hudson was authorized by
the Board to attend a special two
day meeting for State Health Off
GERS at the National Institutes of
Health in Bethesda, Maryland on
August 2I and %. The special
meeting has been called by the Sur
geon General of the United States
Public Health Service for the pur-
pose of coordinating the attack on
the Asiatic flu throughout the Uni
ted States.
The Surgeon General has an
nounced that six biological houses
have been licensed to produce the
vaccine against the Asiatic strain
of virus and first supplies have al
ready been released. 1t is antici-
pated that it will not be possible to
manufacture enough vaccine for
everyone before the epidemic
strikes, so it is recommended that,
when influenza vaccine is not avail
able in sufficient quantities, physi-
clans reserve their supply for de-
bilitated persons and those 65
years of age or older or under 8
years of age. Doctors. nurses, pub
lie health workers. police, public
transportation workers and others
who frequently come in contact
with sick people or who are re-
sponsible for vital community SER
vices should receive priority.
1t is expected that the flu will at
tack from 1870 to 2096 of the popu-
lation and will probably run it's
principle course within a period of
four to six weeks-especially in
densely populated areas.

Crop Conditions

crop tOn0ITlOnS
The long continued drought has
finally reached crops which we had
hoped would get rain soon enough
to save them. In fact all unirrigated
crops are either entirely ruined or
the yield reduced to a very small
percentage of normal with quality
poor Farmers generally lost their
early snap bean crop and are hav-
ing difficulty with the fall crop.
Paintings of this late crop have
failed TO germinate except on a
few irrigated farms and a second
planting is now being made in the
hope that a killing frost or freeze
will not occur before mid-0ctober.
The harvest of field or baby limas
is underway. The fields have been
so dr. that the amount of green
beam as very low and some growers
have given up harvesting them as
the return is below the cost of har-I
vest. The late paintings in many
cases can still be saved it we h2vve
substantial rain in the next few
days. Another week or ten Gays
of drought will ruin most of these.
The same situation applied to late
corn, most of which is now past
saving. AS of August 1st, it was es-
timated that Delaware would have
the smallest corn crop in IA years.
Soy beans, which has become a
major crop in the state, are begin
ming to show heavy damage from
the drought. This is especially true
of late planted fields where the
paintings are not getting enough
moisture to get a good start. Dry
weather seems to be conducive. to
insect infestation. This is the first
year that the green clover worm
has seriously damaged sOybeans.
This pest is also causing. damage
to lima beans in some areas. Toma-
toes are in poor shape except on
irrigated farms and even on these
they are small sized The white pO-
tato crop in Kent County is about
85 per cent harvested and all po-
tatoes should be out of the ground
by September 1st. The poor harvest
has also had it's effect on cannery
employment. Some plants are not
operating at ali and most of them
are working on a part time basis.
Fall Labor Weeds
In view of current conditions it
would appear foolish 10 suggest sub
hitting needs for all harvest labor.
However if we have substantial
rain within the next week we could
look forward to a good snap bean,
cabbage, broccoli and caulifiower
harvest. Workers currently en-
pIoyed in the area are moving out
fast. Any grower who discovers
that he needs fall help should noti-
fv us as soon as possible.

DOLUnstGte Rains May
Aid 81 Crops
(continued from mage onel


The rain didn't reach the Will
mington area until nearly 10 p. m.
Monday and was never heavy.
An official of the Agricultural
Extension Service said the rain
should be a boon to the soy bear
crop and a big help to dairymen in
Kent and Sussex Counties. 1t will
have little effect on already-parched
crops now in the ground, but will
be help to late crops and pastur-
age.
Farmers have been waiting to
plow for planting rye and other
small grains, and Mondays rain
fall is regarded as enough for that
purpose. Cabbage. broccoli and late
lima beans were helped in the low
er counties, as were tomatoes The
corn crop, however, is beyond saw
ing.
Dairymen who have been inn
porting hay or feeding their baled
hay to cattle will have no immedi-
ate relief, but Mondays rain could
provide useable pasture lands by
mid-autupin.

the rain would alleviate the pic

vests in recent years.
The soy bear situation was
among the brightest, with beans
planted in June now in blossom or
coming into blossom. Mondays rain

In Sussex County the strawberry
crop has been helped, and planters

Utility Builds New
Bldg. At RehObOth

In the triangle at Rehoboth Ave-
nue. and State Road intersection
in Rehoboth the electric company
has under construction a building
which feature a first" for the area.
An air-to-air type heat pump will
serve year round for heating and
cooling the building, according to
E. r. Hill, district manager for
Delaware Power and Light Com
pany.
The heat pump a completely au-
tomato electric appliance will pro-
vide year-rOund comfort for both
customers and employees. 1t is
completely assembled in one cabi-
net; it uses no fuel other than
electric current; it operates with
out fame so that no fiue nor
chimney is necessary. No fuel stor-
age no ash disposal no SCOT are
connected with its operation.
The heat pump is actually a ma
chine for pumping heat from one
location TO another An example
familiar to all is the electric refrig-
eratoa which pumps heat from the
interior of the box to the outside.
A very cold refrigerant $50 cold
it boils at -21 degrees F.) circulates
in coils in the refrigerator and
draws heat from the food which
is then pumped out mechanically
by an electric compressor.
The heat pump working on the
same principle extracts heat from
the atmosphere and pumps it into
the building in cool weather.
Though the temperature of the air
is low during the winter the heat
pump refrigerant, by further reduc-
ing this temperature, can extract
heat from it. The compressor boosts
this heat to usable values for win
ter heating. When the temperature
drops below 25 degrees F., supple
mental heat panels, operated cleo
trically and built into the heat
pump, are brought into action.
In warm weather the operation
is reversed and heat is removed
from the interior of the building
and pumped to the outside atmo-
sphere. A room air conditioner
typif1es the action OF the heat
pump in this cycle. In summer it
pumps heat from indoors to out
doors a fact easily verified
by standing near the exhaust of
one.
Mr.. Hill commented that the heat
pump installation is a pioneer effort
to gather operating cost and other
performance data of interest to
home owners of comercial build
ings. In its Ocean City, Maryland,
Office, the company has a heat
pump installation, but it is of
different nature from the Rehoboth
job 1t extracts heat from well
water during cold weather. After
suitable trial periods the company
will be able to assist. customers
who seek information about heat
pumps for local homes and offices.
Fluorescent lighting is used
throughout the building to provide
a working atmosphere free from
glare and shadows. Light on work
surfaces, designed to relieve eye
strain and tension, will emasure
so foot candles. Hot water will be
supplied by an electric water heat
er
James D. Farlow is general con-
tractor for the building, estimated
cost for which is about $31 600.
Mr.. Hill indicated that construc-
ton should be completed late this
year. The space will accomGdate
all of the personnel and equip
ment necessary to carry out the
comnany's functions in Rehoboth
district
