Corn Borer Control Program
Planned In County

In connection with a statewide
corn borer control program being
organized by DR.. L. A. Stearns
and Donald MacCrady, entomol-
ogists at the University of Della
ware, George Vapaa, county agri-
cultural agent, has announced
that plans for borer control IN
Kent County are about complete.
We hope to add up to S174.O0
to each average farm income in
the county, the agent said. This
was the bite" taken by 'borers
from each average farm income
from corn last year, as reported
by DR.. Stearns. Total state dam
age by borers in 1856 was an
estimated $S49, 1874.
County control efforts will in
volve getting every farmer to
plow under all old corn stalks by
May 1. The university entomolog-
lists said earlier that this is the
least expensive way of CONTROL.
ing the corn pest.
So far, the agent has been TAX
ing pictures and talking to farm
ers who are now blowing under
corn stalks and whose stories will
be used later in news releases
The plan, too, is to post fields Of
cooperating farmers.
Farmers who have indicated
that they will plow before May
1 include Jacob w. Zimmerman
of Dover, Harvey and James Op.

Delaware sheep Growers To
Have Lamb Pools

Delaware sheep growers voted
to organize a pool for market
lambs at their regular meeting
last Tuesday. Market days will be
on Wednesday. The minimum
pool load will be so lambs, the
maximum load in each shipment
13O lambs. Plans are being COM
pleted by John McQuail, lamb
committee chairman.
Bert Willis of Milford present
ed a very attractive proposition
for handling market lambs. He
represents Eskay Packing Com
pany of Baltimore, who prefer to
have lambs of from 60 to 80 Ibs.,
docked and castrated. Lambs
would be graded in Baltimore;
growers would get Baltimore
price; checks would be mailed di-
rect to growers within two days
after market; and a charge of
$1.10 per head would cover en-
tire cost.
Lambs would leave Milford at
10 o'clock in the morning. Lambs
must not be picked up by their
fleece thus bruising the flesh
which shows up at dressing and
lowers the grade of their meat,
but must be handled carefully in
order to be associated with the
Delaware Lamb Pool. Individual
owners marking will be put on
lambs by Mr.. Willis at time of
delivery.
DR.. Teeter assured lamb grow
ers that the two scabies infested
flocks in Kent County have been
treated and that it is very much
under control and danger of
spreading is over. He also offered
to secure the latest film on scab-
les and show it at one sof the
meetings.
Fair chairman, Calvin Hollis,
outlined plans for having a bet
ter showing of lambs and sheep
by arranging classes in which
any interested sheep raiser in
Delaware can participate. A bull
letin covering rules and instruc-
tions will be sent to all members
of the association.

Conservation Reserve Contracts
in Effect April Is

Conservation reserve contracts
farmers sign to begin in 1857
will become fully effective not
later than April Is, according to
George C. Simpson, chairman of
the Delaware Agricultural Stab
ihzation and Conservation Com
mittee.
April Is is also the final date
for signing conservation reserve
contracts to begin in 1857.
The time the contract goes into
effect is important, the chairman
explained, because compliance
with the contract requires that
the designated conservation re-
serve not be grazed or cropped
Unless the conservation practice
has been started earlier, any live
stock grazing on the designated
Smyrna times., 1957-03-28

crop must be established after
the contract is signed can be in
cluded only in contracts for five
or 10-year periods.
Farmers electing five or TO-
year contracts have a wider Sc
lection in designating their con-
servation reserve, since they can
include land already having a
cover as we'll as land on which
the cover crop is yet to be estab-
lished.
Smyrna times., 1957-03-28

About 81 per cent of u. S.
farms have some type of tele-

On Car Legislation

The American Automobile AS
ISOLATION of the District has sent
letters to nearby Maryland and
Virginia members asking them
to make their views known on
pending legislation affecting mo-
florists.
In Maryland. members are
urged to write to the Legislature
asking delegates to support
House Bills 512 and 562 pro-
viding for roadside control of
major highways in the State.
In Fairfax County. Va, mem
bers' are being asked to oppose
"a proposed increase in the
county license tags from IS to
$40.
In Alexandria, a similar pro-
posal to increase the automobile
license tax from $3.50 to $40 is
under AAA fire.
The Alexandria City Council
meets at 1880 pm. Tuesday in
City Hall, Cameron and Royal
streets. to vote on the proposed
increase. The AAA urged opposi-
ton to the tax because it said
motorists already pay s465 in
taxes when they buy a new car,
Sl54.89 in taxes when they drive
a car 10000 miles in a year. and
in Virginia they face a proposed
new sales tax of from $50 to
500 on a new-car purchase.
