Wheat Allotment
Deadline May 81

Delaware farmers who wish
to comply with their 1860 acre
age allotments but have excess
wheat planted, have until May
81 to dispose of the excess
acres, William H. Reynolds of
the Delaware Agricultural Stab
ilization and Conservation Com
mittee said today.
MIR. Reynolds points out that
compliance with the wheat al
lotment is necessary for the
farmer who wishes to be elig-
ible for wheat price support and
the Conservation Reserve to
market all of his wheat without
a marketing quota penalty and
to receive the maximum wheat
history credit for 1860 in COM
putting his wheat allotment in
future years.
Farmers who have any ques-
tions about excess wheat dis
posal are urged to get in touch
with their county ASC office for
further information.

Blue Cross Lists
Record 1859 Year

A record year in efficiency of
operation was experienced last
year by Group Hospital Service,
Inc, when the Blue Cross-Blue
Shield Plan was run with only
seven per cent of subscription
income used for costs of oper-
alton.
1--WE believe that during 1859
the Plan fulfilled its primary
function better that it did in any
other of the rs years of its his
tory" declared H. V. Maybee,
managing director, in the annual
report.
He directed the attention of
members to the reports figures
which show that "well over 80
cents out of every ST you pay
in your dues returns to you and
to others needing care. You will
see, furthermore, that on C e
again less of your dollar than
ever before was spent to oper-
ate the Plan in your behalf. This
is situation that has been re-
peated time and again during
the past rs years, and at no
time during that period has any
other similar organization ap-
preached this consistent record
of economy of operation, effici-
ency of management, and dues
returned to the subscriber in the
form of benefits"
Mr.. Maybee expressed pride
and satisfaction in the years
progress in spite of the fact that

development plan projected for
the next ten years.
The significance in this $2l,-
500 loan lies in the precedent
it sets. According to Mr.. c.
Raymond Hare, director of the
Farmers Home Administration
in Delaware and Maryland, this
is only the second such loan
made by his agency east of the
Mississippi River.
This will open the way for
other such low interest loans

Certified Seed
Growers to File

Farmers who wish to raise
certified seed should get appli-
cation forms in soon, according
to University of Delaware ag-
economist Frank B. Springer.
He said May Is is the dead
line for applications on produc-
ton of certified barley seed. For
rye, oats and wheat applica-
tions must be in by June /.
For corn July l is the dead
line date and for soybeans it is

Applications must be in Sc
that the fields can be checked
by the Inspector. Forms are
available from the agronomy de.
partment, Agricultural Hall, I'm
iversity of Delaware, in Newark
or from your local county Agri
cultural Agent.
Springer said fields should be
hand rogued before the inspec.
ton. This means removing all
noXious weeds and off variety
plants.
Because of the rapid increase
in certified seed production ir

particular loan was processed
through the FILA Office, very
rapidly because of the fine Del
aware state laws regardin g
drainage protects, Mr.. Hare said.
Application was made March
2 and the loan made April 20.
Il hope this loan will set a
pattern which will make it easier
for the next drainage plan. We
want to work with Delaware
farmers. 1t is a function of our
agency to provide low interest
and an easy payment program
for such projects by local pub
lie Improvement organizations
such as the Nanticoke River
Tax Ditch organ x a n," he
said.
This loan will help clear about
seven miles of the main channel
of the Nanticoke, according to
e. H. Talbert, State drainage
engineer.
The main channel drains sew
en- major drainage bitches and
several smaller bitches serving
about $4,000 acres.
The total Upper Nanticoke
River Watershed project will
improve 187 square miles, 49,
IT'S acres of land in the area
northwest of Georgetown, and
including Greenwood ndBridge-
vile. Communities roughly in a
circle on the outside edge of the
area to be improved are Hard
scrabble, Middleford, Dublin
Hill, Pennington, Staytonville
and Glendale.
County Agricultural Ag e n t
William H. Henderson said the
economic aspects of the drain
age project will be of consider
able value to the whole COM
munity. He said improved drain
age will help individual farmers
to enlarge their operations with
out buying new land. With the
study increase in operating costs
farmers can no longer afford to
