Construction Of Dams

The construction Of the dams is
only ole OF the major jobs of i'm
provement in the watershed pro-
ject The others. which are equally
important. are the establishment Of
good soil and water conservation
practices on the land and the needed
stream channel work
Much land treatment has been
established, but there is still more
that needs being done Among these
are strip cropping. contour tillage.
and good graS; sod waterways
Along with them go good crop ro-
tations. good pasture and hay sodS.
reforestatlon and other good wood
land management practices, road
side erosion control. the treatment
Of active gals and gullies. etc.
There are some other benefits
that can come from the watershed
project including the following
There Will be some stream chan
mel work, mostly below the struc-
Irt to promote better water flow
and to keep the future stream
within its banks
In the past there have been more
ACP funds made available from the
State ASC committee to aid areas
Of land treatment in the watershed
program
Additional technical assistance is
ava liable from the Virginia Forest
Service; and
The Highway Department usually
works to control erosion and the
flow of sediment from the highway
banks and bitches.
Another important side effect
that is being studied from a local
standpoint is the possibility Of local
water for industrial and community
improvement purposes. The water
shed program will prove to be
valuable to the people in the water
shed and can prove helpful with
water supplies for industrial de-
velopment possibilities in and
around the central part Of the
county.

Seeding Rate Key
To Corn Raising

If you are going to raise
sweet corn for processing, Ex-
tension Service horticultural
specialist Robert Stevens, Uni
versity of Delaware, has a few
tips to help your production
First, you should figure your
rate of seeding, Stevens says.
If you don't have irrigation,
$4,000 to $4,000 plants per acre
is all you can plant, assuming
rainfall is around normal. In
order to get $4,000 to $4,000
plants per acre in 40-inch rows,
you need to drop a seed every
eight or nine inches, Stevens
said. If you have irrigation
you can go as high as $4,000
to $4,000 plants per acre. Other
factors to be considered before
deciding how many plants to
plant per acre are soil fertility,
manure applied, legume cover
crop plowed under, and fertiliz-
er to be used. You also have
to consider losses to birds and
other factors in order to hit the
plant population you want. You
can check your planter by test
ing it on a roadway where the
grain can be counted and mea-
sured. Test-drive at the same
speed as you will in the field.
Sweet corn requires about the
same amount of fertilizer as
field corn, Stevens said. A
good crop requires at least 100
pounds of Nitrogen per acre
and rs pounds of phosphoric
acid at well as 65 pounds of
potash. This can be applied
by using 400 pounds of 1910
10 per acre before planting, $50
pounds of 5-l0-l0 planted with
the seed and SO pounds of nj
trogen sidedressed later. Don't
apply more than 20 pounds of
nitrogen, such as 200 pounds of
l0-l0-lO in split boot type plan
ters. 1t will cause burning and
reduce termination, the special
iSt warned.

All Pig Feeder
Project Underway

Fifty-four Alters and los
pigs, two for each 4-Her, are
in this years All swine feed
ing program sponsored by the
Delaware Swine Producers AS
sociation and the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service.
The pigs will be shown and
judged at the Kent and Sussex
County Fair, July 27-Aug. l,
and prizes awarded in three
weight classes; light l8O pounds
and under; middle, 18l to 200
pounds; and heavy, 20r pounds
and over. Each class has four
prize-winning positions.
There is also a Grand Cham
pion and Reserve Champion
of the whole show. The pigs
will be auctioned off, the best
being auctioned off first and the
rest in the order of their rat
ing. The program, now in it's
second year, is set up to train
All members the principles and
practices of swine production,
including selection, care, feed
ing, management and showing
of feeder pigs.
Youngsters unable to obtain
their own pigs are assisted by
the Swine Association.
The pigs will be cared for
by the All members and COM
plete records kept according to
the rules and regulations of the
program.
Until last year the program
was carried on only in Sussex
county, but last years state
wide program proved success

ed. Last years winner, Rich

Tomato Continues
Reign As Gardens
No. | Vegetable

The tomato is unchallenegeo
as the number one vegetable ir
the home garden according to
MIR. Robert Stevens, Extension
Service Horticulturist at the
University of Delaware. They
grow well in a wide variety
of soils but respond best to a
good, well drained, loamy soil.
In order to pick right through
from early July until frost, it's
necessary to plant at least two
varieties.
The early red varieties which
start producing in early July if
you transplanted them now, are:
Valiant, Morton Hybrid, Bur-
pee Early Hybrid and other Hy-
birds. Midseason varieties in
clude Queens, Pritchard and the
old Bonny Best. Rutgers has
the best quality of the late var
ieties but there are several 9TH
er good late varieties.
Most hose gardeners buy
their tomato plants. Be sure to
purchase strong, sturdy plants
that have been hardened off
Stevens said. Pulled plants are
slower to start. Soft, weak,
spindly plants are set back
days or even weeks by trans
planting.
Good soil preparation is i'm
portant. Spade under or plow
under stable or poultry manure
if possible. If manure is not
available use other forms of
organic matter such as COM
post, leaf mild, peat moss, etc.
Hoe or rake in about 10 to Is
lbs. of 5-l0-l0 fertilizer for
each 500 So. feet.
Planting distance will depend
on your method of culture.
Staked tomatoes may be set
Is" apart with rows two to
three feet apart. If the plants
are to grow on the ground, al
low 10 to Is So. feet per plant.
Good sound transplanting
practices will help insure an
early crop. Here are some gen.
eral rules:
l. Soak plants with water
several hours before setting.
2. If the plants are in a flat
or box, cut out a block of soil
with each plant.
3. Protect the plant from
cutworms particularly if the
garden was in sod last year,
by placing a piece of glazed
paper around the stem or dust
ing DDT or Toxaphene on the
soil.
4. Set the plant firmly in
the soil at least two inches
