ford; Bob Carey, Pennsville, New
Jersey: and John Denyes, Whining
ton, have all attended the National
Boy Scout Aquatics School held at
the Schiff Scout Reservation, Mend
ham, New Jersey.
Troops schedule use of their
swimming area twice each day.
Usually a portion of each period rs
devoted to instruction. The Scouts
are divided into groups according
to their ability Some are taught
to swim, others are helped to inn
prove their strokes. Advanced
swimmers receive instruction in
Swimming and Life Saving Merit
Badges.
The greatest single factor re-
sponsible for our fine safety record
is the use of the Buddy System" |"
said Jim Pyle. This system of
checking in and checking out pairs
of Scouts has been a standard Op-
Grafton in Scout Camps for years.
Frequent counts of those in and out
of the water are also essential to
the successful operation of the sys-
tem."
Troops and leaders are also CIV
en- instruction in the eight defense
plan sor safe Scout swims. Having
had this training, Troops are better
able to conduct incident-free swims
while on hikes or camping trips.
The 8-defense plan calls for each
Scout to have medical examina-
ton, adult supervision, a safe
swimming area that las been
checked and cleared of hazards,
classification of swimmers accord
ing to ability and areas marked off
for each group, a lifeguard on duty,
a lookout situated high enough to
see the entire area, use of the bud
dy system, and strict adherance to
rules of safety.
The operation of Rodney Scout
Camps is but one of the many pro-
gram features made possible from
contributions the Del-Mar-Va Coun-
ell receives from citizens during
its fall Independent finance cam
paigns and through the various
United Funds and Community
Chests on the Peninsula.

u. S. Govt. Still Big
Landowner In State
continued from page one)

ACOuL1uuCQ AIOA4 Q6EC O4OJ
Largest of the federal landhold-
ers is the Department on Defense
with 1876 Delaware acres, in
cluding the D.ore than 1.O0O-acre
Lum's Pond tract, under its con-
troll. Although only 1851 acres of
1885 acres for harbor and flood
this total is used for military pur-
poses, Army Engineers oversee
control purposes.
According to the inventory re-
port, the Department of Interiors
Fish and Wildlife Service controls
the second largest area, 1880
acres, all located in the Bombay
Hook National Refuge for Wildlife
and Waterfowl, near Smyrna.
Other important Federal land
lords, according to the report, are
the Coast Guard, which controls
243 acres Of Delaware land, and the
Veterans Administration, which
oversees 80 acres in the state.
Smaller parcels, totaling 6 acres,
are controlled by still other Fed
eral agencies.
The report discloses that federal
ly owned land in Delaware is di-
vided into "a different installations,
on which are located 802 buildings
worth $45,412,000 and other facili-
ties valued at $45,836, 900. The land
itself is valued at $4,672,000, bring
ing the value of Federal real prop
erty in the state to $95, 5,920,000.
A large portion-approximately
900 acres-Of the more than 1000
acre Lum's Pond tract was recent
ly declared surplus to the needs of
the u. S. Army, thus removing the
largest obstacle to eventual state
ownership of the tract. The action
came after a concerted drive by
sportsmen and other interested
Delawareans to have the state ac-
quire the area, including a 205-acre
lake, for development as a recrea-
tional area. Stimulating the drive
was the possibility that the area
might eventually be used by u. S.
Engineers as a dumping ground
for fill removed from the nearby
canal, which is to be deepened and
widened in the near future.
At recent meeting in Governor
J. Caleb Boggs' office at Dover, Col
William F. Powers, district engin-
eer of the U. S. Army, pointed out
that various other federal agencies
must waive right to acquisition of
the now surplus portion of the
Lum's Pond tract before the State
of Delaware may petition for trans
fer of the area to state ownership.
However, it is believed that there
is little likelihood of any other fed
eral agency putting in a claim for
the area.

FARM Field Day Was
A Decided Success

corn were almost weed free while
corn in untreated plots a few feet
away was almost lost in the weeds.
This experiment is being conducted
by DR.. Henry Indyk of the agrono-
my department
With Tuesdays department of
agriculture's announcement of this
years increased soybean produc-
tion and surpluses in other crops,
farmers showed considerable in
terest in the castor oil bean plot
which is in an early experimental
stage, according to extension SER
vice agronomist Frank Springer.
Springer says the castor oil bean
is a. possibility as crop in Del
aware but this is only the second
year of tests and it is too early to
tell at this point how successful
they will be. There are only about
$4,000 acres grown in the United
States annually at present.
A point of interest for broiler-
men was the newly-cOnstructed
broiler house which has a number
of interesting features. 1t has
central heating system, no win
dows, hinged wall panels which
swing open, leaving wire TO keep
the chickens in, but allowing al
most complete freedom of air cir
culation.
Other experiments with color of
apples, insect and disease control
in various crops and new varieties
of several crops were of specific
interest to growers and of general
interest to all the visitors.
Breed and variety tests with pep
pers, lima beans, tomatoes, soy
beans, corn, cantaloupe, grapes,
blueberries, dwarf apples, normal
apples, alfalfa, small grains, and
watermelOns were examined close
ly by growers and others.
In other events: the winners of
the hog grading contest were An
thony Crisco, Bridgeville, first, and
Carl Tucker, Greenwood, second,
in the adult contest and Everett
Warrington, Bridgeville, first, and
Cashar Evans, Jr., Selbyville, Sec
ond, in the junior contest.
Awards were SIS for firsts and
$3.50 for seconds. Ten hogs were
judged by SO contestants who en-
tered. DR.. James Ferguson of the
University of Maryland was the
official Judge.
OF all the experiments at the
Farm Field Day the watermelon
taste tests were voted the top ex-
pertinent of the day by an unOffi-
cial but unanimous majority.
Poultrymen were also interested
in the broiler nutrition studies and
particularly with the tests of IL
coccidiostats' in relation to it's eff
feet on weight gains and feed con-
version under natural conditions.
Normal, healthy birds were used.
Chicken also was the subject of
appetites at the lunch hour when
fried chickens disappeared into
about 700 people. The Delaware
Poultry Improvement Association
did the serving.
The ladies took in the home gar
deners exhibit and demonstration
which featured new plants and sew
eral demonstrations on the "how
to do it" order.
The blackbird control demonstra-
tions held the interest of many
farmers who suffered losses from
the hard to scare pests. No black
birds showed up for the demonstra-
tion, however.
