Trend For Fewer
Farms Continues

The trend toward fewer farms
and farmers producing more
food on farms of larger acreage
is continuing, w. T. McAlliSter,
extension agricultural econom-
ist at the University of Della
ware says.
To back this up he says the
farm population dropped by al
most two million people in 1856.
Ae the same time the size of in
dividual farms is increasing.
The average farm today is 40
percent larger than in 1910, an
increase in size from l74 acres
in 1910 to an average of 242, ac-
cording to the most recent fig
ures. Initiation has increased
land values 40 percent during
the last seven years and has
caused much greater need for
capital to operate a farm or to
get into farming.
Only II percent of the popu-
Iation is involved in actual agri-
cultural production now. This
means II percent of the people
are feeding themselves and the
other SO percent. In the early
days of America, IS to 80 per-
cent of the people were farming
in order to feed themselves and
the few non-farmers.
More farmers are finding il
necessary to work at off-farm
Jobs too. Between 1850 and 1856
the number of farm people
working at off-farm jobs in
creased from 80 to 40 percent,
McAllister said. The percent of
farm wives working off the
farm increased from II to 26
percent during the l950-l956
period.
Another interesting agricul-
tural statistic is the fact that 80
percent of the total farm pro-
duce in 1857 was produced by
so percent of the farmers. The
so percent making up the small
er farms produced only 10 per-
cent of the total production.

Garden Bug Battle
AT Crucial Point

Keep your spray gun handy
or the bugs will take over your
corn, cabbage, evergreens and
just about everything else, says
DR.. Dale F. Bray, chairman of
the entomology department at
the University of Delaware.
On the cabbage front, DR..
Bray says the cabbageworm and
Iooper are the main enemies.
Malathion is the most modern
weapon and should be used
weekly or more often if you still
have trouble holding the line.
If you prefer to eat your
sWeetcorn yourself rather than
feed it to the worms and beetles
you should spray malathion on
the silks when they start turn
ing brown. If applied every four
days for total of three appli-
cations, you should not have
any more trouble with sap
beetles or corn ear worms.
In the battle to keep your
ornamentals, you will have to
face mites, bagwormS, boXelder
bugs and fall webworms, DR..
Bray said.
Mites can be controlled by
either kelthane or aramite but
bagworms are too large now to
be completely knocked out even
with malathion, so you should
resort to hand to hand combat,
DR.. Bray said. Pick them all off
if you can find and reach them.
Lead arsenate will work on
the bagworms if used early in
the season but it is not very eff
fective now.
If you sight fall webworms in
their tents, either lead arsenate
or malathion will force the enc
my from the field.
The red and black boxelder
bugs have a human-like habit of
moving into the house when
cold weather sets in so mala-
thion or dieldrin should be ap-
piled soon before they have a
chance to move in with you, DR..
Bray said, finishing up his ad-
vice on bug fighting.

Watch Date When
Cutting Alfalfa

Late cutting can seriously in
jure your alfalfa stands, warns
William H. Mitchell, extension
agronomist at the University of
Delaware.
Don't cut alfalfa after Sep
tember Is in northern Delaware
or after September 25 in south
ern Delaware" Mitchell said.
Alfalfa needs at least eight
inches of growth before facing
the winter. New seedlings of red
clover should be clipped to get
rid of weeds and straw but it
should be done before Septem-
Der lst or it will injure the seed
ing and do more harm than
good.
Mr.. Mitchell also suggests
topdressing your good legume-
grass fields after the last cutting
or grazing to help them build
up for winter. This is a good
idea only on heavy soils. On
sandy soil wait until late winter
around February or March.
Good management of legumes
in the late summer is an i'm
portant factor in grassland man.
agement. Care will lengthen the
life of your pasture and save
you expensive reseeding jobs,
Mitchell says.

Tips Given For
Family Vacation

Highways and turnpikes are
crowded with travellers with one
destination in mind-an enjoy
able, relaxing summer vacation.
Long days of automobile
travel make irritable and rest
less children and weary parents.
Family trips can be fun rather
than dreaded ordeals if you plan
to have as many of the COM
forts of home as possible on
hand, says Mrs. Alice M. King,
state home demonstration lead
er with the University of Della
ware extension service.
A hungry, thirsty, or dirty
traveller is not a happy traveller.
Mrs. King recommends a snack
box, thermos bottle and a clean
up kit be included on your list
of ''musts" for the trip. Include
a litter-bag on this list also. You
can't afford to forget the fact
that more than 40 states now
have litter control laws with
fines varying from $40 to $1,000
for throwing rubbish from your
car.
If there are small children in
the family, Mrs. King suggests
that you plan travel games to
be played when youngsters lose
interest in watching scenery.
Children enjoy watching for Ii
cense plates from the various
states, counting the number of
different kinds of animals they
see, waving to children in other
cars, and playing word games
such as 81 Spy and What Am
l." picture bingo", played with
pictures of familiar objects
which are covered as children
see these objects along the road,
will interest children for awhile.
Occasional inexpensive surprise
packages also break the monot-
ony of the trip.
Favorite toys that are large
enough that they are not easily
misplaced help keep children
occupied. Such toys must be the

brings up the usual questions. Il
wonder if | made the honor roll;
or l wonder if I'll pass Math, etc."
The question all depends on the
student. If he has studied as he
should, nobody has to worry
about his grades. If you are one
of the students not studying, why
not settle down and try harder so
you can take home a grade card
that you can be proud of?

bination possibility, feat
which Coach Scott is again point
ing for, attendance is expected
to reach new all-time high.
The adult season ticket costs
$4.25 which is good for 10 home
games. Student season tickets
cost $l.75, also good for 10 home
games.
A new venture is also being
attempted this year with the
sale of adult season tickets. To
assure those persons purchasing
season tickets a seat at all home
games, a section is being re-
served for that purpose. To re-
serve a seat, the purchaser must
pay an additional $l.00. He will
be assigned a number in a special
row and it will be reserved for
him or to any person holding the
reserve ticket.
Coach Glenn Scott stated that
purchase of a season ticket
would not assure the buyer a
reserve seat, but that the holder
would be required to take nee
essary steps to have it reserved.
To provide all purchasers of
season tickets an opportunity to
take advantage of this reserve
seat offer, Coach Scott will be
at Ralston's Rexall store on Tues
day and Wednesday, Nov. Is and
26, between the hours of 700
p. m. and 800 p. m. to schedule
the seating arrangements.
Season ticket holders may also
reserve seats by giving their
names to the persons from whom
the tickets were purchased and
they in return will submit the
names as requesting reserve
seats.
Because of the limited num-
Der of seats that have been
allocated for the reserve section
at the local gymnasium, the date
of Nov. % has been set as the
deadline for making reservation
requests.
This week the bleachers will
be moved from the athletic field
into the gymnasium. After they
have been painted and repaired,
sections for the schools student
body and holders of reserve sea-
son tickets will be properly
marked.
CaldWell's prospects for a good
season appear exceptionally
bright and the schedule facing
the Redskins is the most rigid
in several years.
In addition to the regular
Muskingum Valley league teams,
others scheduled include Mays
vile, last years district champ
ions, who will be represented
this year with an equally bal
anced team, Fort Frye cagers
from Beverly consolidation, and
Johnstown, near Columbus, an
aggregation reported aspiring for
state tournament recognition.
For the local basketball fans,
this years schedule appears to
be one filled with talented teams
and each game promises to be
full of excitement and good bas-
ketball.
