PREVENTION EASIER THAN
CURE OF SOIL CONTRACTION

Constant use of heavy machin-
cry in farm operations tends to
pack certain types of soil into I'M
productive hardpans or to form
hard layers of soil just below
pillow depth.
And, says George Vapaa, coun-
ty agricultural agent, it's difficult
to undo this damage once soil
becomes packed to a concrete-like
consistency. He re o MN d S
avoiding the increasingly common
farm problem, if possible, because
packing reduces a soils ability to
absorb water at the surface and
decreases movement of moisture
into lower levels. In some cases,
it also restricts normal root de-
velopment in planted crops.

Both heifers and bulls are needed.
The animals are being sought

DELAWARE FARMERS MAY
SEED RECORD SOYBEAN
ACREAGE

Delaware farmers may seed a
record soybean acreage this year,

than the record established two
years ago.
This report of planting inten-
tons came today from the Mary

farmers expect to plant 218,000
acres of soybeans-about the
same as the record acreage of
two years ago and five per cent
more than last year.
If Delaware potato growers
carry out intentions, the report
said, they will plant 10000 acres,
the largest acreage of record and

The reports are based on ans

ARRANGING FOR NEW YORK
POULTRY MARKET TOUR

Arrangements are being made
for all interested people to take
part in a poultry marketing tour
April 16 and II in New York City.
Coordinator is w. T. McAllister,
extension marketing specialist
with the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service, in cooperation
with the Poultry and Egg Nation
al Board. His announcement said
tour highlights will be:
1. A visit to wholesale receivers
of Delmarva chicken at the 14th
Street market. Visitors will see
and hear what buyers say about
Delmarva poultry and birds from
competing areas.
2. Go aboard a passenger ship
of the Grace Ship Co. to discuss
with trades people opportunities
for exporting poultry to foreign
markets.
5. Learn what chain store peo-
pie think about Delmarva chick
ems, where stores buy supplies,
why, and obtain the answers to
other questions during a visit to
a LEADING chain store and a talk
with the poultry buyer there.
6. Visits to such places as the
United Nations building, Music
Hall, Madison Square Garden,
television shows, baseball games,
and Broadway shows.
8. Visit the New York Mercan-
tile Exchange and the Stock Elk
change on Wall Street.
4. Tour kitchens of the Brass
Rail Restaurant in the Socony-
Mobile building. Purpose will be
to learn more about selling adj
ditional poultry to restaurants.

turning the cards." Mr.. Guellow
said.
Summarizing the outlook for
acreages of other crops in Della
ware, the statistician indicated
that Delaware farmers report in
tentions to plant 141,000 acres of
corn. This would be four per cent
less than last year, and would
continue a downward trend in
state corn acreage that started
in 1858. Prospective paintings of
green peas were placed at 600
acres, up slightly from last sea-
son. Averages of oats and barley
are expected to be unchanged.
Maryland farmers, the report
continued, plan to have six per
cent less corn acreage and five
per cent less tobacco acreage this
year than last. Prospects for corn
at $4,000 acres-means a de-
crease from 100000 acres plant
ed in 1857. Farmers reports on
tobacco indicate $4,000 acres this
year, compared with $1,000 last
year. Acreage of oats is expected
to be down seven per cent from
a year earlier.
And, if Maryland farmers fol-
low through on present plans to
cut back green peas, paintings
will total little more than 5000
smallest since 1852. On the
other hand, the statistics noted,
it now looks like the 1858 barley
acreage in Maryland will set a
new record of $4,000 acres, up
from last years record.
Wheat acreage seeded last fall, at
10000 acres, is four PEI cent
more than a year earlier.

New Interstate Highway
Net to Aid CD Evacuation

Americas roads to survival,
a part Of the Al, 000-mile National
System of Interstate and Defense
Highways that will be carefully
laid out over the continent within
the next IL years.
THIS INTEGRATED S33,000,-
000, 900 network - the worlds
greatest public works project
will include freeways running
from the heart Of major cities to
the outskirts and beyond. Over
these roads, the millions who
live and work in cities could
seek the safety of distance from
a nuclear bomb blast if adequate
warning of impending attack
were given.
In normal times, restless
Americans drive $4,000, 600
900 miles a year in private
autos. Families must also
rely on cars to flee from
danger In the event Of civil
defense emergency.
The automobile is a rolling
home in an emergency, the Fed

ton points out. You can eat and
sleep in it, keep warm and dry,
receive vital instructions by ra-
dio, drive out Of danger areas,
and even get some shelter

Subsoiling has not proven sat
isfactory as a means for correct
ing the condition, Mr.. Vapaa says.
He explains that though some
farm operators and soil scientists
have found this effective in in
creasing yields, it is still a hit-or-
miss affair. Usually not enough is
known about the physical condi-
ton of the subsoil to make GER
tain that the process will be ben
eficial or profitable.
According to University of Del
aware soil scientist Leo ]. Cot
noir, prevention is still the best
way to deal with soil compaction.
Here are several tips he offers for
avoiding compaction.
L. Don't carry out machine OPP
erations while the soil is wet.
Damage is frequently done when
farmers begin work too soon af-
ter rain.
2. Build soils resistance to COM
FACTION by adding to it's organic
matter content through rotation
with grass or pasture crops. Cow
er crops can be grown in off sea-
sons and turned under as green
manure before cultivated crops
are planted.
3. Develop a minimum tillage
system-tilling the soil as little
as possible. This requires judge
ment on the part of the operator,
but the county agent can offer
advice about minimum tillage
methods adapted to your area. In
some cases, the ground may be
plowed once and the rest of the
soil preparation left to natural
processes such as freezing and
thawing, or wetting and drying.
Or seed may be planted in new
ly plowed ground and weed grow
tn handled with pre-emergence
and post-emergence sprays.
For those who already have
compacted soil, research is slow
ly developing machinery and 9TH
err means to meet the problems
more effectively, under varying
conditions. More attention to this
problem is needed, concludes Mr..
Vapaa, if we are to avoid perman-
ent and serious injury to some of
our best soils.
