New Dairy Forage
Program Guide

A new guide to choosing the
most profitable forage program for
different Delaware dairy rams is
now available.
According to w. E Mcdaniel,
farm economist at the University
CT Delaware, the information can
ne used best as a tool by the farm
operator in setting up his particu-
Lar forage program.
To help tanners do this, the
guide tells about nine ways to use
forage crops. Probably none of
these plans will work directly on
any one farm in the state, be-
cause all farms are not the same,
Mcdaniel says.
He recommends that before a
dairyman uses one of the plans, he
should change the plan to fit" his
farm business. Changes expected
in farm r eceipts and expenses
should be figured to see if a new
plan will make more money than
the one already in use.

demonstration agents can supply
the forage program guide. Or write

"In 1919. Mr.. Irenee DUPONT be-
came President of E. /. dupont de
Nemours and Company. During his
tenure of office, this Business faced
the double task of dismantling the
great DUPONT war plants and re-
building an organization to fit
| peacetime production. In few
months after the Armistice his
Company's employment was sys-
tematically reduced from 100000
| to about 10000. The record of sue
cess the Dupont Company achieved
under his leadership is known to
the world and is not to be forgot
| ten. Mr.. Irenee duPOnt's great pre-
science was in foreseeing, in the
midst of an all-absorbing task of
wartime production, the postwar
role of his Company in meeting the
strategic needs of America. His
leadership was in seeing further
than most other business leaders,
in convincing his less far-sighted
colleagues and in imbuing others
with his own great confidence in
the future of our country. Mr.. du-
Pont led the endeayor to free the
American chemical industry from
European dominance in dyes and
other coal-tar chemicals. AS a re-
suit of his efforts a powerful new
and Independent industry was built
in the United States.
more than any other living man
of his generation, Mr.. DUPONT par
ticipated actively in the most vi
brant period of his Industry's
growth. Within his personal ex-
perience the DUPONT Company has
emerged from a relatively moder-
ate-sized Delaware concern, en-
gagged exclusively in the manufac-
ture of explosives, to become the
worlds largest diversified chemical
firm. In 1926 Mr.. DUPONT retired
from the Presidency and became
Vice Chairman of the Board, an
office he held until May, 1910. He
served as a member of the Finance
Committee until December, 1916
Still Director of the dupont Com
pany, he was elected Honorary
Chairman of the Board in 1854, an
office he now holds.
"Mr. duPont's industrial leader
ship has been accompanied by his
civic and philanthropic interests.
Scientific research, he believes, is
one key to happiness for us all. He
has given with great generosity to
the Wilmington General Hospital,
and to support research into the
treatment and cure of both tuber-
culosis and cancer. He has been the
financial mainstay of the cancer
research conducted by the Bio
chemical Foundation in Newark
Delaware, first under the auspices
of the University of Pennsylvania,
and later as a division of the
Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
A more homely but equally reveal
ing evidence of his humanitarian
ism is discernible in his answer to

Irenee du POnt HOnOred
BY University

A distinguished Delawarean was
hOnored recently by the University
of Delaware on his eightieth birth
day.
In simple ceremony conducted
recently in the office of DR.. John
A. Perkins, president, the honorary
degree of Doctor of Science was
conferred upon Irenee dupont,
great-grandson of the man who
brought the DUPONT name to Ameri-
ca and first established a business
enterprise on the banks of the
Brandywine.
The ceremony was attended by
members of the DUPONT family,
several of Mr. duPont's close
friends, the Executive Committee
of the University's Board of Trus-
tees, the academic deans and fac
ulty representatives
Mr.. DUPONT was hooded by Judge
Hugh M. Morris, president of the
Board, and the citation accompany
ing the presentation of the degree
was read by DR.. Perkins.
The citation read as follows:
"One hundred fifty-four years
ago Monsieur Eleuthere Irenee du-
Pont established in this community
business that was to grow in i'm
portance to his new country, and
to the world, beyond anything he
could have dreamed. Simultaneous
ly he established something else in
this community more important
than a business. He established a
family name which enlists the re-
spect, affection and gratitude of
us all.
"This morning we are met to
honor the great-grandson of the
founder of that business and that
name, a man whose achievements
and character have carried both
the business and the name to new
heights of esteem throughout the
world.
Irenee dupont was born eighty
years ago today near Wilmington,
Delaware. He graduated froaI the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology in 1897, and received the
degree OF MdSIST VI OClChCO III
chemical engineering from the same
Institute one year later. He then
took employment as mechanic in
Wilmington machine shop.
"In 1903 Mr.. DUPONT Joined the
company which bears his name.
From 1905 until 1914 he served
variously as assistant treasurer,
assistant to the general manager,
and manager of the Development
Department, which was directing
it's energies toward expanding the
Company's activities beyond explo-
SiVeS-
"The outbreak of the First
World War found Mr.. DUPONT a
vice-president of the Company, and
in 1915 he became chairman of the
executive Committee, which was in
general administrative charge OF
all the Company's activities. Dur
ing the next four years, the Du-
Pont Company supplied the Allies
with 40 per cent of the smokeless
powder their armies and navies
consumed in fighting the war.

Potato Meetings
In Kent County

eff you can't get Mohammed to
the mountains, then you have to
bring the mountains to him." says
George Vapaa, Kent County Agent,
recalling an old quotation in refer
ence to two special potato grower
meetings scheduled for January
23rd and Goth at the Capital Grange
Hall in Dover.
Speakers from the larger potato
producing areas of Maine, New
York, Pennsylvania and Virginia
will tell Delaware growers about
new developments in their areas.
Byron Bondurant, agricultural
engineer at the University of Maine,
will outline the research under way
there on new potato harvesting,
grading and packaging machinery.
Increased costs for labor, which
today seem to be the farmers
toughest problem, are forcing him
to- do everything possible to cut
down on the amount of hand work.
The new potato combines, for ex-
ample, have cut down on the guam
tity of labor needed to dig, pick up
and grade potatoes in the field.
DIR. Wayne Lee of Pennsylvania
State University has been working
with new washing and packaging
developments in potatoes. The
trend is toward consumer-size
packages which are adapted to
self-service markets, and which
present the product in the most at
tractive manner. Packaging on the
farm is one way that farmer can
perform an additional service for
the consumer, and in a sense, en-
large the size of his farm opera
tions.
Both DR.. Lee and Mr.. BOndurant
will appear at the January 23rd
meeting. DR.. Ora Smith of Cornell
University and now serving on
leave with the National Potato Chip
Institute and B. S. Chronister, who
is probably the most prominent
worker on the use of nitrogen fer
tilizers in the Virginia area, will be
at the meeting on January 30th.
Both sessions will start at 1880
p. m. and will continue until all
questions have been answered.
