Delaware Food Market
Report
By Anne Holbert0n
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware


There's no reason to wait. Have
an apple now-or better yet have
two or more! It's apple harvest
time, and more than eleven million
bushels, of apples are in the pro-
cess of filling our markets
The apple industry is busy keep
ing up with our fast moving age
and an evidence of this is the dis
appearance OF the old apple barrel
winch is being replaced by the
corrugated tray packs. This type
of packing gives each individual
apple a comfortable nest and pro-
lection from bruising. This is only
one of the many things being done
to make sure you and I will re-
ceive only the best.
Varieties have changed lot, too.
The best of the old favorites are
being combined to make a better
apple and because of this, the new
sports are taking over. For in
stance the newer red sports such
as Rome Beauty, Red Staymans,
Red Delicious and York Imperials
have pushed old favorites like
Black .Twig and Winesaps into the
background Just another sign OF
changing times.
Some varieties are best for eat
ing raw, some for pie, some for
baking and so on. Do you know
which apple will "fill the bill"?
For baking: Rome Beauty, JON
athan (their season is about Over)
Grimes Golden, York Imperial
For Pie: Stayman Winesap
Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious,
Jonathan, York Imperial.
For applesauce: Golden Deli
cious, Stayman Winesap, York I'm
perial, Grimes Golden.
For Salads: Golden Delicious
should top the list since they dc
not turn brown as quickly as most
apples after they have been peel
ed. Other apples good for salads
also, are Red RELIGIOUS, Stayman
Winesap, Grimes Golden.
For eating: Red Delicious, Gold
en- Delicious, Staynnan Winesap
Grimes Golden, Jonathan.
These names are just a few of
the apples that are on the market
however, they are the ones most
popular on our local markets
Eggs continue their astonishing
price decline. Grade A large eggs
dropped to 4c dozen. However
the small egg is still the best buy
in most stores.
Meat prices are steady or a lit
tie lower though the best buys are
found among the weekend specials.
Look for good buys on lamb, tur-
key, broi1ers and fryers, and fresh
pork.

with $50 of the members present.
Our main business of the eve-

by were looked forward to, but
nothing was ever as exciting for
young and old alike as the Hal

After due consideration of other
matters pertaining to the order cur

Refreshments were served and

Compile Safety Score

continued from page one)
In the eight months. 38 plants
and laboratories had a total of 140
lost time accidents. During that
period, ,27.652 employees worked a
total of 36.620.577 man-hours. The
accident frequency rate for the
eight months was 3.S2. This is one
million times the number of lost
time accidents, divided by the hours
worked. The rate for the first sew
en- months was 391. One plant was
late with its report for the month.
The 140 accidents resulted in 81
733 days lost. The total of days lost,
multiplied by one million and di-
vided by the hours worked produc-
ed the accident severity rate. For
the eight months, it was 101.94-
up from the rate of $3.50 for the
first seven months.
In August, final month of the
period, there were Is lost time ac-
cidents in three plants and labora-
tories, resulting in SAT days lost.
The other 85 plants and labora-
tories had no lost time accidents
in the month. The frequency rate
for August came to 3.5S which was
above the July rate of 2.66. The
severity rate for August was 1906,
which was below the July rate of
1852.
Many of the plants and labora-
tories have long records with no
accidents. In the current report,
the longest record is the $50 acci-
dent-free months of the Dupont
Company's Elastomers Laboratory.
The 89 plants and laboratories
taking part in the contest are in
firms and government agencies in
all parts of Delaware, and they in
clude small as well as large units.

Elgin Air Force Base. Florida.
where he witnessed the latest
USAF Aerial Firepower Demon
stration on October 8th.
Mr.. Dickerson also attended a
special demonstration of u. s. Army
helicopter and light-plane flying at
Fort Rucker, Alabama, following
the Elgin AFB show.
These events have been held
periodically by the military SER
vices to acquaint educators, legis-
lators. industrialists, and others in
key positions with the latest in air.
power developments and tech
niques. The trip was arranged as
part of a USAF-CAP cooperative
ly sponsored program to bring
about better appreciation on the
part of educators and others to
bring aviation education and re-
lated subjects into the elementary
and secondary school systems.
Altogether, there were about 80
different kinds of combat" mis-
sions run off, ranging from ground
strafing by jet fighters to a simula-
ted atomic burst by a B-52 Strato-
fortress. Among the more spectac-
ular events were demonstrations of
the so-called ''toss-bombing tech
niques by the F-101 Voodoo and
the Boeing BAT Stratojet, backbone
of the Strategic Air Command. In
this technique, devised for nuclear
bombardment, the bomb-in this
case, a 1000-lb. general purpose
bomb--is tossed upward and by the
time it explodes near the ground,
the aircraft . is we'll away. Other
highlightS were soaring fire bomb
attack by North American fighter
bombers on a factory target, and a
squadron-coordinated attack on a
simulated missile site and mar
shalling yard by 16 F-100 Super
sabres, supersonic nuclear weapon
carrying fighter bombers, launched
from 5000 feet to near ground lev
ell, firing six napalm fire bombs,
two 500-lb. GP bombs, and eighty
four 2.75-inch rockets. Spectators
were also noticeably impressed by
realistic demonstration of a
high-speed, high-altitude intercept
tion of a B-47 by the ultrasonic
F-104 LOckheed Starfighter, the
plane known as the missile with
man in it,, that can outspeed a
16-inch shell and climb as fast as
it can fly straight and level.
Other demonstration included an
aerial firing of the famous Side
Winder", which can track down
and destroy a rocket in mid-air
only seconds after the rocket is re-
leased by the same plane A photo
flash bomb demonstration by two
jet RB-66's was another dramatic
highlight of the show.
The Civil Air Patrol is the Off
cial USAF Auxiliary that operates
in each of the 48 states and in the
territories to promote aviation in
the local community. To carry out
it's program, CAP conducts for
NAL course of instruction dealing
with aviation ground subjects de-
signed for youths of high school
age as well as adults.

Farm Real Estate Values

enlargement of existing farms con-
tinues, as in other recent years,
to be an important motive for pur-
chase. This alone accounted for 40
per cent of all farm transfers last
year. Most strongly affected by this
demand for bigger farms is the
western two-thirds of the country,
notably the spring and winter
wheat areas. Demand for land for
non-farm uses is felt more in the
East.
The report also discusses the ef-
feet of roads on farm land values,
McAllister said. Farm real estate
reporters estimate that sales pri-
ces for properties on dirt roads
would range from to IL per cent
higher, depending on the area, If
they were located on gravel or
hard-surfaced roads.

litical wars and was elected to the
state House of Representatives, in
1946. The next year, he suffered
his only defeat at the polls when
he ran for mayor of Waterville. He
was reelected to the state legisla-
ture, however, in 1948 and 1850. In
1852, he became his states Demo-
cratic National Committeeman and,
in 1854. it's governor.
Shortly after being elected to his
first term as governor, Muskie
