Greenbranch Tax Ditch Land
Owners To Hold Special
Meeting

A special meeting of the Green
branch Tax Ditch landowners will
be held on Tuesday, Nov. 5th, at
the Vernon store, starting at 7:30
pm, according to w. Anstine
Stafford, chairman of the Board
of Managers.
The objects of the meeting are
to report on construction progress
and costs to date, consider and
vote on two changes which will
add to the cost of the tax ditch,
and to authorize the managers to
borrow additional funds to oom-
plete construction operations.
Ordinarily, the landowners have
only one meeting year, but be-
cause of the above business, the
managers felt that a special meet
ing should be held. The ditch is
now about so percent constructed.
About 1000 acres of land will
be drained by this ditch when it
is completed, and it will improve
drainage for some 60 farms in
the area west of Harrington. Tax
ditch companies are formed in
order to provide drainage for
whole communities and to provide
outlets FOR individual farms. This
is the second of several ditch
companies being formed in Kent
County. Anyone who would like
to have more information should
contact the Kent County Soil
Conservation District or the Kent
County Agricultural Agent.

FERTILIZE TREES

When, how often, or how much
should 1 fertilize my shade and
ornamental trees? These are
questions often heard from home
owners by George Vapaa, county
agricultural agent.
Answers depend on the tree and
growing conditions, but there are
a few general rules that can
serve as a guide.
Trees can be fertilized any
time after leaves fall until spring
growth starts. Fertilizer can be
used to push the growth of a
young tree if quick development
and shade are desired. In trans
planting a young tree, fertilizer
should be used sparingly and
never where it will come in di.
rect contact with roots.
Once the tree has established
itself, fertilizer will help it grow
vigorously toward mature size,
the agent points out.
If a tree is large enough and
Smyrna times., 1957-10-31

appears to be growing well, there
is no need for fertilizer. When a
tree has been injured or attacked
by insects or disease, or shows
symptoms of a general loss of
vigor, fertilizer can be used to
help the tree recover. Loss of
vigor shows up as sparse foliage,
light green or yellowed leaves, or
die-back twig tips. A generally
unhealthy condition may indicate
that tree is not receiving suffi-
cient nutrients.
Two pounds of complete
chemical fertilizer for each inch
of trunk thickness is a good gen.
eral rule, Vapaa suggests. This
is a minimum recommendation,
he says, and more can be used in
many situations. With newer-type
concentrated nutrients, follow di-
rections of the manufacturer.
Generally, less fertilizer than re-
commended is needed for a tree
growing in sandy loan, more if
it grows in a heavy clay soil.
The best method of application
is to place the fertilizer in holes
drilled around the tree, foot or
more deep, a foot apart, and
about halfway between the trunk
and the farthest branch, the agent
says.
Or the fertilizer can be spread
over the ground beneath the
branch spread and then soaked
deeply into the soil.

BROILER GROWERS TO HEAR
FEED DISCUSSION

Current research on high-fat
'broiler diets that vary in energy
content will be the topic at an
open house for state broiler grow
ers November 7 at the Univer-
sity of Delaware Substation on
the Georgetown-Laurel Road.
Project leader T. d. Runnels
and staff members will conduct
an informal discussion that after
noon from 2 to o'clock at the
poultry building where the eXper-
mental birds are housed. Work
ing with Runnels on the project
are j. Frank Gordy, substation
director; Dr. E. F. Waller chair
man of the department of animal
and poultry industry at the uni
versity; Dr. L. M. Greene, sub
station poultry pathologist; and
F. A. D'Armi, research associate
at the substation.
Birds displayed will be eight
and one-half weeks old and fed
four diets varying in protein and
energy content while the calorie-
protein ratio remains constant.
During the discussion, informa-
tion compiled at eight weeks will
be distributed.
One feature of the experiment
is the first time a state agricul-
tural experiment station has re-
ported a comparison of high-fat
pellets and high-fat mash fed to
broilers up to market age.
Birds in various pens are being
fed mash and compared to birds
in similar pens fed the same feed

conductd to learn if high-fat pei
lets produce more outstanding

FREE SOIL TESTS BEING
MADE

Delaware farmers were remind
ed today to have their soil tested
free at the University of Della
ware laboratory.
George Vapaa, county agricul-
tural agent, said the tests will tell
how much and what kind of fer
tilizer is needed on fields.
To take samples, the agricul-
tural agent suggested dividing
fields into areas not larger than
five to ten acres. Avoid unusual
spots not like the rest of the field,
fence rows, roadbeds, places where
lime or manure has been piled,
and fertilizer bands in row crop
fields.
Take Is to 20 samples spread
evenly over each sample area
when the soil is moist enough for
plowing, Vapaa said. Samples may
be taken with a sampling tube,
soil auger or spade and knife.
With a spade and knife, dig a
spadeful of soil to pillow depth and
throw it aside. Then dig a one
half inch slice and keep it on the
spade. Use the knife to cut from
this slice a one-half inch core
from top to bottom.
Mix the 15 to 20 cores from the
area being sampled together in a
clean bucket. Put about one-pint
of this mixture in an ice cream
box or other clean container.
Label each sample with a num-
ber and your name, and be sure
to keep a record of the area
where samples were taken, the
agent advised. One way is to
make rough map of the sam
pied areas.
Soil containers and application
blanks needed to complete the
tests are available at the county
extension office.
Send samples and the complet-
ed application forms to the Soil
Testing Laboratory, Agricultural
Hall, University of Delaware,
Newark.

PREPARE PANTRY FOR FLU

Whether it's Asiatic or regular
flu, cold or grippe, your family
may get sick during the coming
months, says Marion Macdonald,
Kent County All Club Agent.
If mother gets sick, the whole
family's routine is upset, so it's
a wise homemaker who prepares
"just in case.'
For those who live alone, it's
especially important to be ready
for flu. She makes these sugges-
tions:
Keep supply of fruit and to-
mato juices. Gingerale is good for
an upset stomach that can toler-
ate few foods. Tea and bouillon
cubes will be useful. Canned and
frozen soups provide nourishment
with a minimum of effort. Pud-
ding and gelatfne "slide down"
easily.
For family members who re-
main well, bland liquid diet is
hardly adequate. Provide for their
healthy appetites with heat-and-
eat foods such as meat pies and
stews, baked beans, sauerkraut
and frankfurters, chow mein,
date-nut bread, canned and froz-
en- fish, vegetables and fruit.
Build up resistance to colds and
flu by eating a well-balanced diet
high in vitamins A and G, Mrs.
Macdonald advises. Eat at least
four servings of fruits and vege-
tables daily. especially citrus
fruits and green and yellow vege-
tables.
