GARDENING
and FARMING
IN DARE
D. r T DEA ~ A 81
By J. L. REA, Co. Agt.

Malcolm Ernst, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Ernst, who lives
near Manteo, will soon have a All
poultry project. Through the en-
couragement of his parents, NAL
colin has become interested in poul-
try. The Ernsts are now construct
ing a modern, up-to-date pole type
poultry house. This house will
house 500 grown hens.
Although the Ernsts hope their
project will turn out to be pro-
fitable one, Mr.. Ernst says he ex-
poets his son, Malcolm, to gain lots
of valuable experience through
working with this poultry project,
Wildlife is All project being
studied in this months All Club
meetings. A series of slides on the
subject is being presented. We are
making a special effort to point
out that wildlife plays an impor-
tant part in the economy of Dare.
Many thousands of dollars are
spent each year by hunters who
come into Dare County to hunt
for game.
Several Club members from each
Club have received Bi-Color Les
pedeza plants and also the seed
mixture sponsored by the Wildlife
Resources Commission. We are
urging Alters to plant these ma
terials where they have a good To-
cation.
Willis Daniels, of Wanchese is
going to try a new garden corn
this year. Daniels sells most of his
vegetables on the beach. He needs
a good corn variety for the late
summer. l suggested that he try
1-O-1 w variety. This variety was
developed in Texas by the Asgro
Seed Co. 1t has a very tight
shuck and is draught resistant.
1t dones not have the eating
qualities of the early sweet corns,
but we believe it has a place in
this county. The tight shuck pre-
vents worms from getting in the
corn. This alone will make it pop
ular in this section.
Mrs. Emily Smith, of East Lake,
is treating her garden for nema-
todes. Upon examination last fall,
we noticed that Mrs. Smith had a
severe infestation of these pests in
her garden. She said that her gar
den did poorly last year and wants
to correct this trouble.
We have given Mrs. Smith
enough Soil Fume to treat a good
part of her garden. Her garden has
been wet this spring, but we have
advised her that she will still prof
it by treating the soil even if she
has to plant late.

School Stamp Sales
Top Nation


The school children of Delaware
purchased 29qo more u. S. Savings
Stamps during the calendar year
1858 than they did in 1867. it was
announced today by the u. S. Saw
ings Bonds Division from figures
released by the Post OfFice De-
partment The total sales in the
state of $104,S SIT exceeded 1857
sales of $S1,1S2 by $23.635, the
highest percentage of increase of
any state. Sales in the nation DUR
ing the year totaled $18,100.00
which was 795 less than the prev
ious year.
y. S. Savings Stamps are made
available to children in many
schools through a weekly stamp
day program that teaches thrift and
the practice of regular savings
habits. The goal of the savers is
the purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds
with their filled stamp albums.
The reason for the increase in
sales is the number of new schools
that introduced the plan during
the year. In most instances the
sale of stamps has been sponsored
and managed by a committee of
PTA mothers with the cooperation
and support of the school stan so
that the details do not require
much teacher time.
Schools that have adopted the
plan since September are Krebs
School. Newport: Eden School,
Bear; Banneker School, Milford:
Commodore MacDonough School.
st. Georges; Millsboro School;
Georgetown Elementary School:
Clayton School, Arden School. and
Bayard, Lore. Washington and VIII
liams Schools in Wilmington. PTA
committees are presently complet-
ing plans to sponsor the program
in the Lewes and Marshallton
Schools this term.
With all the different types of
savings programs that are cur
Irently in operation in the public
schools in the state. approximately
sc. 900 of $4,000 students have the
opportunity to practice thrift in
their schools If they desire. In
the City of Wilmington, since Sep
tember, there is some type of saw
ings available in every elementary
and junior high school and in How
ard High School.

Delaware Food Market
Report

In addition to being just plain
good and wonderfully versatile,
sardines have a plus factor. They
contain high-quality protein and an
abundance of minerals and vita
minis. This, of course, makes them
natural to include in your menus.
This is especially so since the 1858
production of California sardines
is about 2 million. cases. 1t is the
first time for several years that pro-
duction is near normal instead of
way below.
Did you know there is no such
fish as sardine, zoologically speak
ing that is. Actually, it is a small
fish belonging to the herring fam
lily. The name comes from the is
land of SARDINIA, for they were long
observed swimming in the Medi-
terranean around the island. Today
our sardines come from the At
lantic and Pacific Oceans and are
chiefly packed in Maine and Cali
fornia. And you can find this ver-
sital fish to suit your particular
taste, with or without oil, in to-
mato and mustard sauces, smoked
and barbecued at your local gro
cery store and reasonably priced
For fresh fish, there are numer-
Gus species in good supply now
Those coming from Nothern and
local waters are: Pollack, Soup,
Founder and Cod. Southern varf-
eties now available are: bluef1sh,
King Mackerel and Red Snapper.
Regardless of which variety of fish
Won choose, the most important
thing to remember when you cook
it, is not to overlook. Just enough
cooking to enable the flesh to be
faxed easily from the, bones will
leave the fish moist and tender and
bring out its delicate flavor.
Potatoes and the salad vegetables
are your "best buy this week A
good selection of "Cobbler" and
Idaho" potatoes are available and
prices are low. Many more new
potatoes can be found at local mar
kets although prices are much
higher on these. Radishes celery.
green onions, escarole, endiye and
some lettuce are all moderately
priced. Other vegetables to check
when shopping are: sweet potatoes.
broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and
cabbage.
Michigan hothouse rhubarb is a
new addition to the fruit counter
and prices are reasonable. Apples
this week head the list of low pric-
ed fruit Enjoy them now since
nrices tend to advance in late
February. Grapefruit and oranges
remain plentiful and prices rea-
snnahle.
Pork. lamb and poultry are all
in good supply and there are manv
weekend specials on these meats.
Choice grade beef is becoming ng~more
plentiful but prices remain about
as thew have been. making sDecials

Sgt. Eugene Risler
Taking Course At
Alabama Institute

I'VE have just begun the fight. :"
That is the feeling Of 10 Navy and
Marine enlisted men at the Ala
bama Polytechnic Institute. They
are earning recognition for their
scholarship attainments.
Their battle with the books be-
gan last September when the Navy
assigned them to API under the
Naval Enlisted Scientific Educa-
tion Program. Six have placed on
the deans list and have been tap
ped by Phi Eta Sigma, national
freshman scholastic fraternity. The
other four barely missed.
The six top Naval scholars are:
Sergeant Eugene S. Risler, USMC.
Milford; Deward V. Sloan, Fer
nandina Beach, Fla, petty officer
first class; Roland L. Waters. Quit
man, Ca, chief petty officer; Ser
geant Richard H. Russell, USMC,
Rochester, N. Y; Fred Richmond,
Phelps, N. Y, petty officer second
class, all in pre-engineering. Also,
Paul L. Speckman, San Diego, Cal,
physics. Speckman excelled with
a perfect 80 or "a" average.
Achieving scholastic excellence
also are: Sergeant Thomas r..
Horn, USMC, Mt Ephfaim. N. j.,
science and literature; Seaman
Duane II. Pontius, Tampa, Fla,
physics; Fred W. Smith. Fort Lau-
derdale, Fla, chief petty officer
and Hilmer w. Driefke, Janesville,
Wis, petty officer first class, both
in pre-engineering.
The Navy's excellent screening
for the program is reflected by the
high scholastic standings earned
by the men. over 5000 men ap-
piled from the fleet for the school
ing. Only los were selected after
rigorous testing. In the Marine
Corps over 5000 applied and SO
were selected. Navy men had to
be below 80 years of age, Marines
below 26.
Commissions are optional for the
Navy men; mandatory for the Ma
rines when they receive their. de-
grees.
While enrolled in the four year
college curricula, the men remain
on active duty and retain the rat
ings they had prior to entering the
program.

Recommendations Listed
For Growing Peas

Recommendations for this COM
ing seasons crop of peas were
offered today by William II. Hen
derson, county agricultural agent,
as he discussed soils, lime, rota-
ton, land preparation, fertiliza-
ton, time of planting, planning, in
sect and weed control.
He suggested choosing we'll
drained soil containing as much
organic matter as possible. The
soil should be relatively sweet,
with PHI of 6.5.
Good land preparation is essen
tial, the agent emphasized. Work
ground until it is smooth and level.
Rough ground may cause a poor
stand. Henderson added that rota-
ton is a necessity to prevent dis
ease like root rot. A five-year ro-
tation is best.
Plow down 200 to 800 pounds of
cyanimid one week to 10 days be-
fore planting, the agent continued.
Drill deep 500 pounds of 10-10-10
just before planting. If five tons
of poultry manure are applied per
-~NNN@
900 pounds of 10-10-10.
The planting season in Delaware
starts in late February and ends
in early April. Mr.. Henderson said
the professor will suggest the
planting date, using the heat unit
system as a guide Seeding rates
vary with the variety. Alaska is
usually seeded at five to five and
one-quarter bushels per acre.
Large-seeded sweet peas are usual
ly planted as near bu. as possible.
The suggestion was to calibrate
drills carefully before seeding and
to pull the drill at about 3 m.p.h.
Planting depth will vary with the
time of planting and up to IL
inches for later planting on light
soil was advised.
Aphids are usually the most
troublesome pest on peas, Hender-
son noted. Examine the growing
points of the vines frequently tC
determine aphid abundance. They
may appear at any stage of growth
Weeds often cause a loss OF
yield, he said. Check the field care
fully when the peas are about two
inches high. If weed control is
necessary, apply dinitro spray
of three pints in 80 to so gallons
OF water. Spray when peas are
three to eight inches tall and
weeds are one to two inches tall.
Do not spray if the temperature
is over so degrees. The best tenn
perature is so to 80 degrees, the
agent concluded.
