A Merry Christmas
And A Safe One Too

A gaily decorated Christmas
tree lights up the heart as well as
the home during the holiday sea-
son, but don't let this years fun
turn into tragedy by neglecting a
few simple pointers, warns Ernest
n. Scarborough, agricultural en-
gineer with the University of Della
ware.
Leave your tree outside, not in
the garage until you are ready to
put it up. This will prevent it from
drying before you even start When
you bring it inside, make fresh
cut at the base of the tree. This cut
should be diagonal to allow more
surface to be exposed to the moist
ure-in the container.
Fill the container with water or
wet sand. Dry Christmas tree need
les are a fire hazard and the water
helps keep the needles moist. Moist
needles stay on the tree longer, but
one week is about the maximum
time the tree should be up, adds Mr..
Scarborough.
Be sure that tree light cords,
sockets and plugs are in good con-
ditiOn. Place the tres near an out
let fused for Is amperes. This
means the fuse will blow easily if
the load is too heavy or if short
circuit develops. You'll also keep
from tripping over extension cords.
For safety's sake, be sure the
Underwriters Laboratory label is
on any string of lights you buy.
Look for parallel-wired strings of
lights having a fiber washer press
ed against the bulb socket. The
washer helps keep burnable mat
erial out of the socket and lessons

Group Aims At Swine
Disease Control

A cooperative two-state swine
disease control program, with en-
phasis on hog cholera and erysip-
elias may come about through the
activities of the Delaware Swine
Producers Association.
David Elliott, Laurel; Charles
Pepper, Harbeson; Charles Mills,
Rehoboth, and DIR. John Shropshire,
Extension Livestock specialist with
the University of Delaware, have
been appointed as a special COM
mittee to explore the possibilities
for such a program with the State
Board of Agriculture. The Mary
land Swine Producers Association
also will be invited to cooperate in
the plan since swine producers
from both states frequently ship
hogs to market across state lines.
The need for the control program
was discussed at meeting of the
association held in Georgetown
last week. Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Pep
per are president and vice presi-
dent of the association respective
ly.
Profitable swine production
methods were discussed by DR..
Shropshire and by Professor Err
nest N. Scarborough. University of
Delaware agricultural engineer.
DR.. Shropshire demonstrated iron
injection, ear notching and castra-
ton of baby pigs. Professor Scar
borough discussed the latest trends
in swine housing, including supple
mental heat for baby pigs and min
imizing the effects of hot weather
in swine production.
