help, but should be far enough
from the garden to prevent shad-
ing and root interference. Stevens
points out that the garden should
receive the direct rays of the sun
all day long.
Soil drainage might be improv-
ed by installing agricultural tile,
putting in open bitches, or, SUBJ
soiling 70 loosen the soil. It's best
to fill in low places in the garden
where water might stand after a
heavy rain, and make sure water
from streams or ponds nearby
will not drain onto the garden
Air drainage is important in
lessening the danger of frost dam
age. A garden on a slope with
free movement of the air to lower
levels is most likely to escape
late-spring and early-autumn
frost damage.
Damage to crops by the roots
of nearby trees can be lessened
by digging a trench one and one
half to two feet deep between
trees and the garden, cutting all
the tree roots crossing the trench
Then place a tight barrier of
sheet metal or heavy roofing
paper along one wall of the
trench and refill with soil. This
is usually effective for several
years, says Stevens.

s. Hallock DUPONT Gift viii Aid
u. of ID. Livestock Work


Research, teaching, and exten-
sion work in animal husbandry
will be stimulated through a gift
to the University of Delaware by
S. Hallock du Pont of Whining
ton, according to DR.. John A.
Perkins, university president. The
gift has been accepted by the un-
iversity's board of trustees.
In the meantime, Dean George
M. Worrilow of the school of
agriculture has announced that a
search already has begun for a
qualified man to develop the live
stock program. The proposed pro-
gram would emphasize work with
beef cattle, swine, and sheep.
In commenting on the signifi-
canoe of the gift, Dean Worrilow
said: "It will enable us to serve
more adequately the livestock
producers of the state, a segment
of our agriculture which is be-
coming economically more i'm
portant each year."
He observed that the combined
Income from beef cattle, swine
and sheep last year exceeded $4,-
600, 900 in Delaware, compared
with $3,OO0,O00 ten years ago
''This growth in the livestock in
dustry tends to stabilize our total
agricultural industry, as it makes
for greater diversificaion," he de-
clared.
Mr.. DUPONT explained that much
of his interest in livestock stems
from his work with beef cattle
swine, and other livestock on hi:
farm near Newark.

On Police Data

The Greenbelt City Council
voted last night to tighten con-
troll Of juvenile police records in
an attempt to keep from HARM
ing youngsters by publication OF
minor complaints.
The council adopted recon-
mendations of a special study
that would:
Prohibit use Of such minor
complaints as evidence to sup
port complaints in other commu-
mites.
Tighten up the administrative
handling Of such records by
placing them solely In charge
Of the chief of police and keep
ing them in locked. confidential
files. They would be destroyed
after two years if no further
charges are filed.
Requiring notification of par
.ents quickly in juvenile cases.
The action stemmed from a
recent juvenile case where pre-
vious minor complaints were
used as evidence against two
youths charged with damaging
an automobile. Their parents
protested.
In another action, the council
approved an appropriation of
81 800 to supplement the salary
for a chief Of police to be named
soon by City Manager Charles
T. Mcdonald. Mr.. Mcdonald
has been serving as acting chief
since George j. Panagoulis re-
signed in February, 1855, to take

Crime Study Unit Worms
OfJuveniIe Problem Rise

BALTIMORE, April 16 tP.-
An anti-crime study group has
warned that Maryland must grid
itself for a q per cent increase
in juvenile crime in the next
three years.
The Baltimore Criminal JUS
tice Commission recommended
that the State improve its de-
lenses by:
/. A sharp increase in the
number of probation officers to
give judges more complete in
formation on youthful offenders.
2. Setting up a new classical
ton unit to recommend to the
courts the most effective type of
treatment for each individual.
3. Establishment of deten-
ton center to handle detained
youngsters who are now mixed
with more experienced offenders
at the training schools during
the weeks before they are re-
turned to their families.
4. migrating the races at the
Maryland Training School for
Boys and Boys Village to en-
able both institutions to con-
centrate more on special pro-
grams for specific age groups.
The commissions oath annual
report said the 81 per cent in
crease in youthful crime and de-
linquency was based upon the
present rate of crime and the
expected population growth. If
the rate Of crime should increase,
1t said. the problem would be
even more critical.
