Delaware Food Market
Report
by Anne HOlbertOn
Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Delaware

This week, as has been true of
many weeks, it will pay to shop
carefully and consider making sub
stitutions in your menus. The price
picture on meat has not changed
and most cuts of meat are expen-
sive. The best opportunity to save
is to buy the specials offered at
most stores during weekend sales.
Pork proves the exception, how
ever, last week hog marketings in
creased and the expected seasonal
increase in pork supplies during
the coming months may be one of
the brightest spots of the total meat
picture. Many brands of sausage
are showing a price drop, in some
cases as much as 10c a pound. Ba-
con also is down in price. Loin or
rib-end roasts, Boston butts and
some hams all rate our attention.
Adequate supplies of broiler-fry-
ers are on the market and prices
are reasonable, and the same can
be said for turkeys. There's short
age of good veal and many stores
have stopped selling it. Veal liver
is up to around $1.45 a pound. The
only change in lamb is a penny
drop on rib chops-down to an
average of $153 a pound!
The best buys among fresh veg
etables are cabbage, carrots, sweet
potatoes, white potatoes and some
of the leafy greens.
Here is interesting news just re-
ceived from the growers in Florida.
Sweet corn is in big supply and
quality is good. Florida has already
shipped eight times more sweet
corn this season than the same
period last year. Look for sweet
corn when you shop, it is selling
for about Sc an ear dust like sum-

Water Space

Plenty of water space should be
provided because water is still the
cheapest and most important nu-
| TRENT that goes into making a fast
growing Delmarvalous brOiler. Top
Delmarva broiler growers make
sure that every bird in the pen has
chance to drink all the water that
it wants. Birds that do no have all
the water they can drink do not
make the fast growth gains which
present day breeding and nutrition
has made possible.
The Keep Delmarva Growing
committee state, use 10 one-gallan
water jars per thousand chicks
to start. Be sure that the jars
are arranged uniformly around the
stove. Don't substitute with trough
waterers as they will not permit
proper distribution. The chick is
over so per cent water and will
dehydrate quickly if sufficient water
| is not available During the second
and third week, move the jars close
to the automatic watering trough
and remove them gradually. Check
to see that the troughs are adjust
ed as low as possible but still so
that they will function and not
hit the litter.
During the growing period plenty
of fresh, clean water is needed.
For every pound of feed consumed
the chicks must drink two or three
pounds of water. With the present
use of pelleted feed, the amount of
water needed by the chick is great
ly increased. Water softens the
food and aids in digestion, as well
as serving as carrier in the dis
tribution of the nutrients to the
various parts of the body.
Distribution is just as important
as having enough watering space.
The more waterers, the better dis
tr:1ution can be. This also helps
to eliminate wet litter Do every
thing possible to encourage water
consumption by placing the water
ers so that the birds do not have
to walk more than eight feet to
drink.
feet of water trough per thousand
birds from two weeks of age. This
is very important during the final
growing period when water re-
quirements are high. The broilers
must be able to take drink fire.
quently because they can only take
small amount at one time. The
height of the watering trough
should be level with the chickens
eye so that they do not have to
bend down to- drink. They should
have to reach slightly for it. Sew
eral studies have revealed that
chickens will consume one-third
more water when the troughs are
higher, especially when the birds
are debeaked This will prevent
them from losing water out of the
beak.
Keep Delmarva broilers growing
with plenty of clean, fresh water
In well adjusted troughs so that
they will be able to drink freely.

This week look for bigger and
better oranges and grapefruit. We
now have enough of these two
citrus fruits available to select the
sizes we like best. The flavor of
both fruits has greatly improved
they are much sweeter now, and
there's lot of juice. When select
ing your citrus fruit be sure to
pick the heavy ones-this is more
important than size, since the heav-
mess indicates there's more juice
in the fruit. Often the rusty look

best, so don't overlook them-see

The family financial plan needs

One of the many fine features OF
this new service is that both the
purchaser and the recipient are
doing business with their friendly

in the event that the recipient

Changes In Your
Social Security

Social security benefits are in
tended to replace in part loss OF
income brought about by the death
disability, or old-age retirement OF
the worker. For this reason, they
are related to the average earn
ings of worker in employment or
Unemployment covered by the
social security law. Obviously, So
cial security benefits are affected
by changes in the national econo-
my.
The Congress voted an across
the-board increase in benefits ef-
fective at the beginning of 1859,
and the increase will be included
in all benefit checks for January
which will reach beneficiaries
early in February.
The benefit increases for retired
workers amount to about percent
over the levels provided in the old
law, with a minimum increase OF
$500 in the benefits payable to a
retired worker who came on the
rolls at or after age 65. Slightly
smaller increases will be shown on
the benefit checks of retired women
workers who elected to retire al
age 81 or any age thereafter be-
fore reaching age 65. Proportion
ate increases will be made in bene-
fits paid to benef1ciaries who are
the dependents or survivors of re-
tired or deceased workers.
For retired male workers now
getting benefit payments, the
monthly payments will range from
$33 to $116, as compared with $50
to $108.50 under. the old law. For
women workers now getting re-
tirement benefits the increased
checks will range from $26.40 to
SIG per month. This slightly low
er minimum benefit is due to the
fact that some women chose to re-
tire before age 65.
Our office, at 230 w. LOCKER
man St., Dover, has available free
pamphlets that explain these and
other changes in the social security
law. If you telephone us at 6-1426
we shall be glad to mail you a
pamphlet.
