The fruit renaissance even
has extended to Europe where
higher living standards have
brought about demand for a
much higher-quality apple than
has been marketed there before,
DR.. Fisher points out.
In explaining how patterns of
living can affect apple market
ing, the scientist observed that
the pairing knife is fast becom-
ing an almost obsolete utensil
for apple preparation in Amer
lean kitchens. Homemakers here
prefer to buy their apples either
whole for eating out-of- hand, or
to buy them processed in the
form of canned apple sauce,
frozen or dried slices, juice, cid
er, oven-ready frozen pies or
bakery products.
This trend has altered consid-
erably Delaware's marketing of
summer apples which are now

Mr.. Vapaa advises starting the
practice of turning cows out
each day as soon as the cows
are brought off pasture into the
barn. Continue this practice ev-
cry day until spring pasture sea-
son. Weather conditions seldom
get too bad if the cows become
accustomed to being out.

Del. Corn Yield
Sets World Mark

Delaware farmers established
at least two records this year
according to information receiv-
ed by the Delaware State Devel-
opment Department from Wash
ington sources. The States 1855
corn harvest, on per acre yield
basis, may have set a world re-
cord, and a record yield, also on
a per acre basis, was realized
in soybeans.
According to the final October
crop report of the Crop Report
ing Board, U, S. Department of
Agriculture, DelaWare's corn
harvest averaged II bushels an
acre, the highest yield, per acre
basis, from non-irrigated land in
the history of the United States.
This yield exceeded that of Iowa
and other corn belt" states and
was second only to Washington,
whose well-irrigated land yield
ed an average of 78 bushels per
acre.
The Development Department
points out that since the u
bushel per acre figure was the
average for the state, it is quite
probable that some farmers har-
vested more than 80 bushels an
acre.
The 1858 Delaware corn yield
exceeds the 60 bushels per acre
estimate made early this sum-
mer. The average u. S. corn
yield this year was 50.4 bushels
per acre, the first time it has
been above so bushels.
According to u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture statistics,
Delaware's 1858 soybean yield
was a record 3,888,O00 bushels,
an average of "a bushels per
acre. This compares most favor
ably with the l0-year average
of l,345,000 bushels.
Delaware also made impress
sive increases in hay production,
producing 1900 tons as CON-
pared with $4,000 tons in 1857,
and in egg production, with 80
million eggs produced from jan
uary to September as compared
with SO million for same period
last year, notes the Develop
ment Department.

Farm Business
Teamwork Urged

To take advantage of techno-
logical advances that will in
crease agricultural efficiency,
many changes are continually
being made, not only in meth
DDS of production but in hand
ling and processing farm pro-
ducts.
Some of these changes in
volve closer coordination be-
tween farm and business, and
the resulting arrangements are
described as vertical indignation.
Contract farming is one type
of vertical indignation that is be-
coming more common in many
kinds of farm enterprise in all
parts of the country. A new U.
S. Department of Agriculture
publication on this and other
forms of vertical Indignation in
agriculture explains how the
system works under some of the
more common contract arrange
ments.
According to the USDA bulle-
tin, indignation is one means by
which farmers can get more cap
ital, improve their facilities, and
expand their operations. 1t may
provide technical help and guild
ance that lead to lower produc-
ton costs, and it can assure a
market for farm products, speed
up quality Improvement, and i'm
prove handling and storage.
Many of these benefits are pass
ed along to the consumer in the
form of better quality products
at lower prices.
But problems, also, arise from
indignation of agricultural enter
prises. Tendencies to expand
output, reorganize the farm bus
mess unit, reduce the number
of farms, shift management re-
sponsibilities, and change mar
keting practices, all call fol-
further adjustments.
How much more vertical in
tegration will develop in agri
culture and the forms it may
take will, in the end, be decided
by farmers themselves. Increas
ed farm-business coordination
appears inevitable. And farmer.
are more likely to benefit from
it, suggests the USDA publica
ton, if they choose carefully
among the opportunities avail
able, to them or if they create
opportunities for themselve!

North St. Possum Finds New Home
at Camp in Newbuy Township

If youngsters on North st. are
adept at playing 'poSsum its be-

found homes for her young ones
among his school mates.

Chardon Police Chief John Bo-

Klarence, who was about the
size of a mouse when he first
moved in on the JohnSons, lived
in a bird cage during the first
weeks Of his stay. When tn e
weather got GARNER, and Klar-
ence got a little older, he NOV
ed out to a pen in the yard where
he has lived since.
Klarence is not an ideal house
guest, the Johnsons soon diScov-
cred. He has trouble sleeping
nights, a disturbance which pro-
badly couldn't Is helped by ira

snooze during the daylight hours

too, about his bed covering.
