Says Village
Offices Need
More Space

Citing tn steady growth of
Chardon, bringing greater de-
mands, Chardon's Mayor Vain
Parsons in his yearly review
urged Council members to be-
gin study for more space for
the police, fire department, and
village offices last week.
The mayor said the need is
acute. The village hall is mad
equate and ThraSher House may
have to be used in the expan-
sion or and addition be put onto
the village hall, he added.
Council should also study the
possibility of annexing more
territory to the village" he said.
Some equipment for the viii
lage is necessary, especially
some blower type of machine
to remove snow from around
parking meters. We should ac-
quire more land for parking
space"
Mayor Parsons complimented
council and its clerk for accomp-
liShmentS OF last year. There
was considerable legislation and
many problems were solved for
the betterment of Chardon, he
said.
Newton B. Chapman was ap-
pointed village solicitor for an
other year. Reporting on his
work for Council he said that
when he was solicitor a few
years ago, he had urged more
committee work by council. "I
am glad to see that this is be-
ing done by this council, which
is an excellent one," he said.
At a previous council meet
ing, the State Highway Dept,
was asked to improve Rt. 6
within the village.A reply said
several contracts for work had
been let, but that the matter
would be listed.
The Cemetery Board reported
1856 receipts as s. 1892 "a. Clyde
Pomeroy, village engineer, was

it. A building to house the sec
retary's office will be ready for
use six weeks before the fest
ival.
After two public hearings,
council passed a resolution es-
tablishing specifications f o r

be presented for dedication.
Minimum width is set at go

ton must be on a plat and

land may settle unevenly, causing
a poor-looking lawn. On establish
ed lawns, he suggests using
rake or similar tool to rough up
at least one-hailf inch of loose
soil. Then SOW and rake in seed,
and roll or wet down to firm the
soil.
Seeding over an old lawn with
out preparation is a waste, be-
cause little of the new seed will
be covered. On new and old lawns
seed should be put in not over
one-half inch deep.
Kentucky bluegrass and creep
ing red or Chewing's fescue make
good mixture on Delaware
lawns, the agent said. On sunny
ground, sow rs per cent bluegrass
and 25 per cent fescue. A. $3.50

spots. Apply the seed at the rate
of three to four pounds per 1000

FALL CLEANUP SAVES
EQUIPMENT

Delaware farmers will add to
the life of spray and fertilizer
equipment with cleanup job,
now that the crop season is about
over.
George Vapaa, county agricul-
tural agent, suggests the cleanup
to prevent damage by corrosive
materials. He advises flushing and
draining spray tanks, pumps and
piping, then lubricating heavily
all oil and grease joints.
Fertilizer residue on machinery
can be dissolved with a high pres
sure stream Of water. This, fol-
lowed by a light spraying of met
al parts with a rust inhibiting
oil, will give protection through
winter. Linseed meal run through
a fertilizer machine also will help
to stop rust.
Vapaa concludes that machin-
cry will last longer and give ad-
ditional good service, if the clean

pathologist.
DR.. Crossan said this week that
the disease has invaded several
tomato fields in the state that
have been irrigated all season.
Anthraenose, a disease especial
ly injurious to canning house to-
matoes, has either not damaged
or is being found only in spots
in unirrigated fields, the plant
pathologist stated.
He recommended that fields
where the disease was found this
season not be planted to tomatoes
next year. If tomato planting is
necessary in these fields, DIR
Crossan advised using protective
fungicides -maneb or zineb-at
the beginning of the first fruit
set next season.
Manep and zineb also control
number of other tomato dis
eases such as early and late
blight.

CONCRETE BARNARD GOOD
INVESTMENT

A concrete feed and loafing
yard for scows is a good invest
ment for any dairyman, accord
ing to George Vapaa, county agri-
cultural agent.
The agent said a paved barn.
yard can bring the greatest pos
sible gains from the least feed.
Citing as an example test at
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
Station, he reported that steer
calves fed for go days on con-
crete gained an average of 146
pounds a head. Steers fed the
same time on unpaved lots put
on an average of 125 pounds a
head.
Paved barnyards conserve most
of the fertilizer value of manure,
the agricultural agent added. This
value is mostly in liquid nitrogen
that is lost unless collected and
stored properly. A test at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station showed that one-quarter
of the liquid part of manure is
lost when cows are kept on earth
barn lots. Researchers there cal
culated that savings in manure
during two six-month feeding per-
iods paid for the concrete paving.
Considering that the average
farmer spends about so per cent
of his time doing chores around
farm buildings, Vapaa said a
paved yard can add to labor saw
ing because cows will take less
time to clean before milking.
Finally, the agricultural agent
pointed out that paved yards tend
to cut down on diseases such as
mastitis and foot rot.

square feet of lawn.
Since both grasses are fairly
slow starting, Vapaa advises add
ing 10 per cent of red top or do
mestic rye grass to the mixture
for more rapid growth.
No time interval is needed be-
tween seeding, fertilizing and linn
ing lawns, the agricultural agent
said. Spread 5-10-10 fertilizer be-
fore seeding at the rate of 20
pounds per 1000 square feet OF
lawn. Apply so to rs pounds OF
ground limestone per 1000 square
feet of lawn, if the land has not
been lined for the last three tc
four years.
Vapaa said the lawn should bt
kept moist until seedlings gel
established. Then usual watering
practices can be put into opera
tion.
Smyrna times., 1957-09-19
FALL LAWN SEEDING
SUGGESTED

Fail lawn seedlings have been
suggested by George Vapaa, coun-
ty agricultural agent.
He said fall lawn seedlings have
less competition than in spring
from annual weeds.
Fall seeding will allow grass to
get established before hot sum-
mer weather, and possibly have
more moisture, Vapaa added.
The agent recommended a firm
compact seedbed with clods of
soil broken up. If the area has
been filled, be sure a good rain
has fallen or the soil is watered
down and settled. Otherwise the

MOTORS INCREASE FARM
INCOME

A farmer earns less than 10
cents a day when he lifts, car
ries or moves materials that an
electric motor could handle bet
ter by driving an elevator or con-
veyor, says George Vapaa, coun-
ty agricultural agent.
One strong man working stead
lily can build up about one-tenth
horsepower, the agent points
out, while a one-horsepower mot
or can DO 10 times the work at
cost of three cents for one kilo-
watt of electricity.
And ne adds, while a motor is
doing one job, the farmer can put
his muscles to work on another
the motor can't do.

neers and scientists" said Mr..

able to fill them, and as a result
they probably won't take work

cepted."
Government Out Bid

cause Federal wage scales are
