Two New Bulletins
Are Available

Both hay and strawberry farmers
will be interested in one of two
new technical bulletins recently
published by the Delawar Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. They are
now available in county agricul-
tural agent George Vapaa's Office.
''The Fertility Requirements of
Ladino Glover and Orchard Grass
should be of interest to hay and
pasturemen and Chemical Control
of Plant Populations in Straw
berries" should appeal to straw
berry men.
The bulletin on ladino and or
chard grass explains yield studies
carried on at University of Della
ware plots at Newark and at the
Georgetown substation The results
of AZ different fertilizer treatments
are reported along with other in
formation on rainfall, protein and
dry matter content, and reactions
of applications of various elements
and combinations.
Some conclusions are drawn
which should help pasture and
hay growers in their own produc-
ton, he said
The strawberry bulletin deals
with population control with diff
erent materials and Treatments. The
effect of the various methods on
the plants is compared and re-
ported. The effect on runner elon-
cations, plant population, crown
weight, yields, and size and num-
ber of berries are all discussed in
the new publication.
Ask at Mr.. Vappa's Office for the
bulletins by name or number. The
ladino-clover bulletin is number
325 and the strawberry bulletin is
number 324.

Long Dry Spells Costly

Dairymen who let their cows
stay dry for three or four months
each year can expect to get 800
to 1000 pounds less milk, accord
ing to William II. Henderson,
county agent
Of course, a dry period is i'm
portant to a cow. 1t gives her time
to rest, replenish her body re-
serves and grow the calf she is
carrying. But six weeks to two
months is plenty of time for all OF
these things, Henderson says.
Shy breeders and cows with
short lactation periods are the
ones that usually stay dry too
long, Henderson says. IF possible.
such cows should be taken out of
the herd. CervaiEly heifers from
these cows should not be kept for
herd replace.nents, because such
tendencies are inherited in many
cases.
Dairymen will be well paid for
the time they spend studying their
records to find cows that stay dry
too long. Locating such cows is
easy for farmers who keep
WADOM. OS or DHIA records.
Call Mr.. Henderson at the Agri-
cultural Extension Office, George
town 1858, for more information on
these record-keeping programs.

UGF Agencies Will Suffer Pinch

What has the past year meant
to these agencies whose needs
have so far exceeded their in
come?
All report waiting lists, cur
tailed services. adoption serv-
ices slowed because even when
foster homes for newborn in
fants can be found, there is
no one to go and inspect them,
reduced stats, inability to fill
vacancies and shattered pre-
ventive programs.

other services which are vital
