Corn Yield Program
VIII Aid The Soil
fContinned from mage onel


tion, an easy to use record sheet.
on which results of soil tests,
amount of lime, fertilizer and ma
nure used, kind of cover crops
used, and crop yields may be noted.
Cooperators will be asked to en-
roll during February and March in
order that soil samples may be Sc
cured and tested prior to corn
planting time The results of the
tests can then serve as a guide in
the use OF lime and fertilizer for
the crop.
Mr.. Evans stated that while
much progress has been made in
improving yields since the program
started in 1850, we feel that we are
now ready to approach the matter
of soil fertility Improvement on a
much broader basis and give it
greater emphasis in this phase of
our crop improvement work.
Citing the fact that while soil
testing has been used for years by
many farmers as an aid in their
fertility program, very few have
kept a continuous record by fields,
thus making it impossible to most
effectively use soil tests as a guide.
1t is the feeling of our advisory
group that we should start now to
improve this phase of our yield
programs.
An invitation was extended to all
interested farmers to enroll in the
Corn Yield Program for this year
by calling or writing to the Exten-
sion office, Georgetown.

100000 Fire Razes
Barn At Stockley
(Cortinued from page one)

tOOHlfIEcu lTOLl page O1Sb
a farmer who works on the hospital
tract and lives in a house about $50
feet away from the destroyed barn.
His home was unscathed by the
flames as were two smaller barns.
The four barns were connected by
covered, wooden passageways, and
one of these three links which con-
nected the main barn to the smaller
building adjoining it was charred.
The farm buildings, which in
clude a series of toolsheds, garages
and similar structures, are located
about quarter-mile from the hos
pital buildings, thus none of the
inmates nor staff were threatened
by the flames. The hospital farms
70 head of cattle also escaped harm.
On sighting smoke pouring from
the haylOft, where the 1000 bales
were stored, Pepper called the hos
pital switchboard, and the institu-
tion's siren was set off. Fire fight
ers from seven companies were also
summoned quickly to the scene, for
the flames were licking higher into
the wooden beams of the main
barn. The companies responding
were: Georgetown, Mill Dor o,
Dagsboro, Milton, GumbOro, Reho-
both Beach and Indian River.
As~smoke billowed towards the
sky, attracting the attention of
passing motorists and residents of
the area, male hospital employees
assisted the volunteer firemen
Nurses and other feminine employ
ees of the institution also hurried
to the scene, setting up a canteen
to provide coffee for the shivering
fire fighters.
DR.. NJ. A. TarumianZ, superin-
tendent of the hospital, and his son,
Alexis Tarumianz, business admin
istrator of the institution, were
both in Dover when the fire broke
out, attending the Budget Commit
tee hearing in Legislative Hall.
They were notified of the fire dur
ing the hearing, and Immediately
rushed back to the hospital. 1t was
the first fire to occur during the
administration of DR.. TarumianZ,
who has been in charge there for
about one and half years.
The gutted structure was 100
feet long, 40 feet wide, and so feet
high, and consisted of the main
floor and the loft, where the thou
sands of bales of hay, the work of
inmates of the hospital farm, was
stored. The ruined hay would have
been used to feed the farms cattle,
Mr.. Tarumianz said.
The burned barn was located on
a small highway bordering the hos
pital grounds on the west side.
| There were no tools or other equip
ment in the barn when the fire
broke out, Mr.. Tarumianz said.
Mr.. Tarumianz had high praise
for the volunteer fire companies.
He said that the flames would
have spread to other barns and out
buildings had it not been for the
efficient work of the firemen and
hospital employees.
He also discounted the possibili-
ty of arson, but said that repre-
sentatives of the fire marshal's Off
ice are checking the cause of the
blaze, which may have been due to
faulty wiring.
None of the hospitals inmates
were permitted near the scene but
some of them glimpsed at the fire
from hospital buildings about a
quarter of a mile away.
