Wy that Toroa, the captain. fear

shore
The men heSitated, but a young
woman, railing at them for be-

jumped into the boiling surf
crying, as she went, II will act

ed and the canoe was safely
beached. The town they founded
still bears the name, Whaka-

Agent Answers
Questions On
Fertilizing Trees

When, how often, or how much
should / fertilize my shade and
ornamental trees?
These are questions often heard
from homeowners by William H.
Henderson, county agricultural
agent.
Answers depend on the tree and
growing conditions, but there are
few general rules that can serve
as a guide.
Trees can be fertilized any time
after leaves fall until spring
growth starts.
Fertilizer can be used to push
the growth of young tree if quick
development and shade are desir-
ed. In transplanting young tree,
fertilizer should be used sparingly
and never where it will come in
direct contact with roots.
Once the tree has established it
self, fertilizer will help it grow
Milford chronicle., 1959-12-11

vigorously toward mature size, the
agent points out.
If tree is large enough and ap
pears to be growing well, there is
no need for fertilizer.
When a tree has been injured or
attacked by insects or disease, or
shows symptoms of a general loss
of vigor, fertilizer can be used to
help the tree recover. Loss of vig-
or shows up as sparse foliage, light
green or yellowed leaves, or die
back twig tips. A generally un-
healthy condition may indicate that
tree is not receiving sufficient nu-
trients.
Two pounds of a complete chemi-
cal fertilizer for each inch of
trunk thickness is a good general
rule, Henderson suggests. This is
minimum recommendation, he
says, and more can be used in many
situations. With newer-type con-
centrated nutrients, follow direc-
tions of the manufacturer. Gener-
ally, less fertilizer than recon-
mended is needed for tree grow
ing in sandy loan, more if it grows
in a heavy clay soil.
Milford chronicle., 1959-12-11
Know The Score Before
You Make A Move

Putting lime or fertilizer on your
land without having a soil test to
show you how much of what
should go where is playing a
guessing game that may or may not
pay off, says County Agent William
H. Henderson.
On your hay fields, for example,
Mr.. Henderson says you can get
four to five tons of hay, or hay
equivalent of grass, silage by ap-
plying the right amounts and pro-
portions of fertilizer.
Be sure to indicate the proper
ton of legumes and grasses in the
mixture on the form. This is i'm
portant because the fertilizer rec
ommendation is based on the
amount of legumes or grasses in
the hay or pasture mixture. In
general, the higher the proportion
of grasses the higher the nitro
gen requirement.
Five years of research in Della
ware have shown a return of two
pounds of crude protein for each
pound of nitrogen applied to
grasses. Other tests in Pennsylva-
MIA last summer showed that 100
pounds of actual nitrogen applied
in March gave yield increases of
3,40O to $500 pounds of dry hay per
acre.
Henderson says you can get
some detailed advice on soil samp-
ling along with the how's, where's
and why's of soil sampling by writ
ing or calling him and asking for
a bulletin called, Don't Guess,
Have Your Soil Tested"
This bulletin is the result of a
joint effort of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Services of Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Virginia and West Virginia.
Milford chronicle., 1959-12-11

While many residents of the state
are familiar with the words of the
chorus, few Delawareans, accord
ing to DR.. Hart, know more than
one stanza and this is generally
the one pertaining to the county
in which he or she lives. The
proposed fourth stanza would per-
tain to the state as a whole and
could be sung at public statewide
gatherings and elsewhere by ey-
eryone regardless of the county of
residence.
"0ur Delaware" originally ap-
peared as poem by the late
George B. Hynson of Milford. 1t
was set to music by William NJ S.
Brown in 1906 and subsequently
copyrighted by the Brown and Ed
wards Music Company of Whining
ton. When this copyright expired,
it entered the public domain.
1t was officially adopted as Della
wares State Song on April z, 1925,
and has continued to retain such
status.
Al special band arrangement Of
"Our Delaware" was obtained some
years ago and this was copyrighted
in the name of the State of Della
ware. In the event that a fourth
stanza is eventually added to the
State Song it most likely will be
copyrighted in the name of the
State of Delaware.
The Joint Resolution, providing.
for gubernatorial appointment of
the newly announced committee
and outlining the duties of this
committee, also provides that if, af-
ter two years, an additional stanza
has received general acceptance,
a recommendation is to be made to
the General Assembly that appro-
pirate legislation be prepared and
passed.

The best method of application
is to place the fertilizer in holes
drilled around the tree, foot or
more deep, a foot apart, and about
halfway between the trunk and
the fartherest branch spread, the
agent says.
Or the fertilizer can be spread
over the ground beneath the branch
spread and then soaked deeply into
the soil.

preparation is a series of Associ-

into the total Communication Pro-

The Winston Basic Readers now
include Is textbooks, IL study books
and readiness materials through
the third grade. When complete the
program will extend through the
sixth grade. In addition there are
Teachers Editions and related ma
terial. Especially timely is the
American English program which
for the first time emphasizes the
American use of the English lang

The authors are: Russell G..

Professor of Education, New York

Winston American English rep
resents the first series of books
which accepts the fact that there is
a difference between American
English and English English" DR..
Mellott stated.
There are many examples of
American English words - succo-

the American Indian language.
Among the American Indian 'bor-
rowings' are such words as: pecan;
moose; chipmunk; muskrat; qua
hog; hooch; powwow; totem;
squaw; mackinaw; tOmahawk;
wampum, and wigwam," the editor
pointed out.
"The difference between some
American and English uses OF
words can be bewildering, if not
startling" DR.. Mellott said. He
indicated these different words and
phrases with similar meanings:
