Policy Pushed at Navy

Hardin says, his best II players
will start Saturday and the
second unit will be just that-a
second team.
"We're sick and tired of los
ing" Hardin says. I'VE have
reached bottom, but we're going
to rebound and come back
fighting. We're going to make
our own breaks. Well be more
aggressive. We're going to be
there first instead of second.
Were going to fight like
hell in the future so we don't
lose any more football games.
That doesn't say we won't lose
any, but we don't intend to.
We're down but we're not
beaten"

"Got Enough StOrage?''
Asks ASC

A call to 'check your storage"
was issued today to all farmers
who intend putting any of their
1859 crops under the price-support
program.
r. Harry Wilson, Chairman Kent
Agricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation County Committee, points
out that the price-support program
means nothing to the farmer who
has no adequate place in which to
store his crop. Crops under loan
must be stored in approved facili-
ties, either commercial or on the
farm, and good storage is also
essential for crops covered by a
purchase agreement if the crop is
to meet eligibility requirements for
later purchase by the Government
under the price-support program.
|, To help farmers meet their grain
storage needs, Commodity Credit
Corporation loans are available
through County ASC offices which
provide up to 80 per cent of the
cost of new bins. Loans may be
obtained for the puchase of drying
equipment necessary to condition
the grain for storage.
Farmers who believe that they
may need additional grain storage
this year are urged to visit their
local ASC office and obtain further
details about the assistance avail
able.

Timely Farm And
Garden Hints

Here are some timely hints for
farmers and gardeners to consider
in August, says George Vapaa the
Kent County Agricultural Agent.
L. Seed that new lawn now. The
weather has been ideal thus far.
Heavy rains have provided good
soil moisture conditions, and cool
er weather will help tender seed
lings. Drop a postal card to the
agent or call him at Redfield g.
1448 for a free bulletin on lawns.
2. This is also the time to seed
alfalfa, the best single hay crop for
Delaware, and also the cheapest
per ton to grow. Depuits and Will
iamsburg are the two best varie-
ties.
8. Time too to stock up that
freezer with peaches, sweet corn
or other vegetables. Local sup
plies are good, and quality is ex-
cellent. Broilers and pork are ex-
pected to be good freezer buys as
the weather cools.
4. Hay will be in demand be-
cause of the drought in May and
June. Farmers can stretch their
supply by planting rye or other
small grains now for late fall and
early spring. A seeding rate of
about three bushels per acre, SOW
ed as a slit application in two di-
rections will give a thicker and
more even stand.
The agricultural extension SER
vice of the University of Delaware
provides many free bulletins for
help on the above problems. The
offices are located on the second
floor of the Dover post office, and
as mentioned earlier, the telephone
number is Redfield 6-144S, con-
cludes Mr.. Vapaa.
