DEFICIENCY NOTES - Della
ware has paid off $16,300,00O in de-
ficiency notes and-for the time
being-has no short-term debt,
Gov. ]. Caleb Boggs reported this
week.
The deficiency notes were taken
out to keep a balance in the state
treasury during the lean months
from January to June this year.
An influx OF tax money has made
it possible to repay them.
Relief from the short-term debt
burden will be only temporary
Predictions are that the state will
have to keep borrowing on uenclen-
cy notes well into next year, until
revenues from tax increases and
new taxes enacted last year bring
the budget into kilter.

Farmers To Vote
By Mail For New
Committeeman

The election of community
Agricultural Sterilization an d
Conservation committeeman in
Delaware will be conducted by
mail ballot again this year, &C
cording to an announcement this
week by w. H. Hopkins, chair
man of the State ASC commit
tee. Farmers should all have re-
ceived their ballots by now, he
said.
The period for voting in the
community elections is from
Nov. 81 through Dec. l, 1858.
The county conventions to elect
the county ASC committees will
be held on Dec. l8, 1858, in
Kent and Sussex Counties. Since
New Castle County is a one COM
munity county, the elected Com
munity Committee will be the
County Committee.
The farmers in each commun-
ity will elect a committee con-
sisting of a chairman, vice chair
man, and regular member. In
addition, first and second alter
mates will be elected in each
community.
The community committee
chairman will also be the COM
munity delegate to the county
convention. A county ASC COM
mittee consisting of a chairman,
vice chairman, a regular member
and two alternates will be elect
ed at the county conventions.
Voting for community COM
mitteemen will be done by mail,
the same as in recent years, with
the county ASC offices sending a
secret ballot and return envelope
to every eligible voter on its re-
cords. The ballots must be re-
turned by December l.
The Federal Governments Ag-
ricultural Conservation Program,
the Wool Incentive Program, the
Price Support Programs, the Soil
Bank Acreage Reserve and Con-
servation Reserve Programs, and
Marketing Quotas and Acreage
Allotment Programs are admin
istered by the county and COM
munity ASC committees. Mem
bers of these committees are
elected for one-year terms be-
ginning January |, 1859.
Supervision and direction OF
the election is in charge of a
Smyrna times., 1958-11-27

county election board in each
county, composed of the County
Agricultural Agent as chairman
and the County Soil Conserva-
zionist, the chairman of the
County Farm Bureau, the Mas
ter of the County Pomona
Grange, and the representative
of the Farmers Home Admins
tration within the county.
The county election board has
appointed an election board in
each community, composed of
three farmers who are not now
ASC officers. Each community
election board nominates at least
10 candidates for community
committeeman. In addition to
the nominations of the commun-
ity election boards, candidates
may have been nominated as
late as November Is, upon petit
tion of 10 or more farmers. Vot-
ers may also write in the names
of candidates on their ballots.
Any farm tenant, operator, or
owner may vote in the commun-
ity elections if he is now partici-
pating in or is eligible to partici-
pate in any of the programs ad-
ministered by the county ASC
committee.

You Buying Cows
Without Records?

If a dairy farmer wants to buy
some cows and no production
records are available on these
animals, the buyer should use a
fair standard to measure the an
imals' potential.
DR.. George Haenlein, dairy re-
search associate at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, cites a recent
California study which shows
that there is a correlation be-
tween dairy type, and milk and
butterfat production.
The type classification used
in that study was broken down
into four categories: general ap-
pearance, dairy character, body
capacity and mammary system.
Haenlein says a dairyman needs
to know how to classify dairy
cows for their milking potential.
Judging schools are held by sew
eral breed organizations each
year and dairyman can only
gain by attending such meetings.
For example, training schools
were held at Vaughn Ginn's
farm and at Horace Woodward's
farm, both near Middletown, last
summer and both were well at
tended. They showed how little
some dairymen know about
judging dairy character in a COW.
When a farmer goes out to
buy cows with only foggy idea
about the characteristics of a
good producing COW, he may
lose a lot of money in a hurry.
It will be good for every
dairyman to keep in mind, DR..
Haenlein said, that good type
and high production go hand in
hand and the selection of good
COW can be made safely on the
basis of the dairy characteristics
when production records are not
available.

If heavy, slow-starting truck
will be using the driveway, the
markers should be set $50 feet
1892 paces) away instead of 700
feet, since it will take longer for
a truck to get out onto the high
way and get up to road speed.
After the markers have been
set, go back to your car and sit
in the drivers seat. If the mark
ers can be seen, the sight dis
tances are proper as long as
traffic going by the farm does
not exceed go MPH. If they can
not be seen, weeds and other OBJ
structions should be cleared to
make the driveway safe.
Adequate sight distance is not
all that is necessary for safety
at driveway entrances, the agent
said. Good common sense should
be applied literally in all cases.

Tall Crops Often
Traffic Hazard

Trees, bushes, and tall crops
that obstruct vision are a serious
traffic hazard" says Edward H.
Schabinger, New Castle County
Agricultural Agent. Too often
these distractions make it i'm
possible for drivers travelling on
the highway to see farm vehicles
about to enter the road.
Farmers should know how to

Next, pace off a distance of
about 700 feet (280 paces) along
the highway to the left and place
a marker at the edge of the
pavement, on the same side as
the driveway entrance.
Then, by the same procedure,
set another marker 700 feet
down the road in the opposite
direction, but on the side of the
road opposite the driveway en-
trance.

figure sight distances necessary
for safety. The following pro-
cedure recommended by the Ma
tional Safety Council explains
how to determine the sight dis
tances necessary to avoid acci-
dents:
Park your car in the driveway
with the bumper 10 feet from
the nearest edge of the pave
ment or travelled portion of the

A good quality hair broom
is the best tool for cleaning
bare floors, as it catches the
damaging coarse grit that a
vacuum cleaner might miss.
A vacuum cleaner is good, too,
to get the dust that the broom
misses.
If your family is not on
speaking terms with the door
mat, you may use a string
mop barely damp with cold
water to remove the mud
tracks, but remember that
water in SUFFICIENT amount to
wet the surface always will
damage a floor and may stain
it beyond redemption. There
are some floor cleaners, made
by the wax manufacturers,
that are safe to use. Never
use oil, benzene, turpentine
or soap on a wood floor.

II am soon to move into
my new home that has really
beautiful oak floors. The
builder says that the type
Of finish he uses requires
practically no maintenance
except occasional busting.
That is one Of the, things
that attracted me to the
house. Yet / want to be
sure that am going to have
it so easy. Is any more at
tention than / have de-
scribed actually necessary"
Mrs. c. A. q. asks.
Answer-One thing is for
sure: Beautiful oak floors
are not going to stay beau
tiful very long if they are
not given tender, loving care.
It is true that floor seal
ers are a boon to shiftless
housekeepers. and no doubt
that is the finish on these
floors, but people who don't
divide a salesman's glib re-
marks by two may have night
mares of floor sanding ma
chimes running up and down
heir spines.
Floor maintenance means:
keeping floors clean SO that
sand and dirt are not ground
into the surface; maintain
ing a protective coating Of
wax on the surface at all
times, and recognizing areas
of wear that require refin-
ishing before the bare wood
is exposed.

to Withstand this kind of
traffic wear?
AnSwer-Where a substan-
tial amount of sand is
brought in from the outside,
I would suggest giving the
bare softwood two or three
soaking coats of linseed oil.
Mix three parts of boiled lin
seed oil with one part
turpentine. Apply literally on
the wood and allow to soak
for about a half-hour, then
wipe of all excess oil. Apply
the succeeding coats about
two days apart. A finish of
this kind will not show
scratches or signs of wear
very readily. Should you de-
sire color in the floors, Ii
noleum tile or vinyl-asbestos
tile can be used, but ! would
advise placing door mats at
the entrances so that most
of the sand and grit could
be wiped off shoes before
entering.

Building Paper

"I notice that some build
ers use tar paper between the

wood floors. Our contractor
used nothing, saying that it
was not necessary. In your
opinion, is this correct?" Mrs.

Fifteen-pound as
phalt saturated felt should
be placed between the sub
floor and the finish flooring.
This keeps out drafts, but
equally important, it prevents

ment for our floor was poured

ment first?

Painting Tile

Question. We have metal
wall tile in our kitchen and
want to redecorate. Can
the tile be painted?
Answer. Certainly. The
first step is to dull the gloss
on the tile by rubbing the
surfaces with 20" sand
paper: then wash the walls
with q detergent and water
to remove all dirt and grease.
