Test: Don't Guess
On Crop Selection

In order to select the right
crop to plant in a field and to
apply the most efficient amount
of fertilizer to that crop, a farm
er has to have more information
than his memory can provide.
A good assistant to your men,
ory is available, free, from your
county agent, George Vapaa, or
your local fertilizer dealer. 1t is
a field record book.
Many of the leading farmers
in the county are very enthusi-
astic about the record book" :"
Mr.. Vapaa says. 'It takes very
little time and it can provide in
formation that can make you
money over the years. And it's
free"
BY keeping track of the crops
and fertilizer that goes on a field
you can figure the future pretty
closely when you plan the next
crop. Also, soil testers at the
University of Delaware can give
a more accurate recommenda-

Fertilization Good
Early Spring Job

Looking for an early spring
job out in the yard on nice sun
ny days? George Vapaa, Kent
county agricultural agent, says
one thing you can do while
waiting for the grass to get up
high enough to cut is fertilize
the trees.
Anytime between now and
June is fine but the best time
is as early as possible.
For trees, the general rule is
to apply one to two pounds of
fertilizer for each inch of tree
diameter. Measure the tree two
or three feet above the ground
and use the smaller amount of
fertilizer for young trees and
the larger amount for older
trees. The fertilizer can be a
10-10-10, 5-10-l0, 8-8-8 or SIM
liar ratio, Mr.. Vapaa said.
The best way to apply the
tree food is by making holes in
the sod with a rod or crow bar
about every two feet, starting
about three feet out from the
tree trunk and going out be-
yond the overhang of the tree
top. Put two heaping table
spoons of fertilizer in each hole,
he said.
Any left over can be spread
over the surface of the ground.
Do not fertilize newly planted
trees, he warned.

Despite Doubling of Production

make more money and local u.s.
ers would save money, if pro-
duction per acre is increased.
The per-acre production average
in the state has been moving up
from year to year but it could
jump 10 to Is bushels per acre
if all producers would do the
best possible job of production,
Springer said.
The state average was 1875 in
1854. In 1858 it was up to 22.5
bushels per acre. Here are the
things the agronomist thinks
will help increase production:
Use enough lime to keep soil
acidity at the correct level; use
enough fertilizer, at least 200
pounds of 0-20-20; use recon-
mended variety; your county ag-
ricultural agent can supply a
commentator Sneet; plant at
the right time; use enough
plants; control weeds.
Each year many Delaware
farmers grow more than 40
bushels of soybeans per acre in
the soybean yield contest spon-
sored by the Delaware Crop I'm
provement Association and the
Agricultural Extension Service.
Several farmers have grown
more than 40 bushels every
year they have been in the con-
tests which has been running
| for six years now. This indi-
Gates that high production can
be reached consistently if good
practices are followed.

Poultry Industry
Controls Attacked
By Neppco Chief

Production controls for the
poultry industry are an open in
vitation for other food items to
grab an ever bigger slice of the
consumer dollar, the Senate was
told in Washington Friday by
the Northeastern Poultry Pro-
ducers Council (NEPPCO).
Ernest F. Smith, Jr., Kenton,
Delaware, president of the group
that represents more than TO-
600 poultrymen in IA states,
warned the Senate Committee
on Agriculture that artificially
raising prices would Invite 9TH
er food items to step in and
capture an even larger share of
the poultry and egg market"
He went on to point out that
a good many of the poultry in
dustry's current economic ills
are directly due to controls and
price supports on other farm
commodities.
Subsidies on American farm
products have priced them out
of world markets, the NEPPCO
chief told the committee. The
result has been increasing pro-
duction curbs and dwindling
markets that encouraged many
farmers to try their hand at
poultry and egg production.
Another result of controls
and subsidies on basic crops is
the inflated prices of feed
grains," Smith declared. "Poul-

ton if they have good field
history to help them.
The record book has a page
for each field and blanks for
planting date, soil test results,
lime, fertilizer, manure, and
pesticides used, yield, and a
place for weather notes, prices,
etc.
1T is simple and easy form
that can make a lot of difference
in a tight year," Mr.. Vapaa says.
THE record book can help
you look back and tell what a
field did for you under certain
conditions in the past and help
you to predict more closely
what you can expect from the
field"
Most fertilizer dealers have
them and you can get them at
my Office" he said.
Smyrna times., 1960-03-03

1t has become so common for
farmers to grow more and more
of most every agricultural COM
modify that they have reached
the point of being criticized for
efficient production because of
the surplus problems such pro-
duction creates.
According to Frank B. Spring
er, agronomist at the University
of Delaware, Delaware farmers
are growing more and more of
at least one crop that we don't
have too much of. That's soy
beans.
Soybean production through
out the country has been climb
ing steadily but we still have
not surpassed the market de-
mand.
Springer said the Delmarva
Peninsula shipped five million
bushels out of the country in
1858 while more than 10 million
bushels went into livestock feed
in Delmarva. The whole penin-
sula grows less than nine mil
lion bushels. 1t costs three mil
lion dollars to ship in the six
million bushels needed for live
stock feed.
Acreage of soybeans in Della
ware has almost doubled since
1854. Last year about $4,000
acres were in soybeans. In 1854
about $4,000 acres were planted
to them. They are second only
to corn in crop acreage in Del
aware.

try feeds have thus remained
high in price at a time when de-
pressed prices for poultry and
eggs forced all poultrymen to
cut their costs to the very bone
in order to stay in business"
'It is quite clear" he contin-
ued, that the poultry industry
has suffered greatly from con-
trolls upon other agricultural
commodities. How much more
would it suffer if its own produc-
ton and marketing capacity
were restricted or controlled"
In his testimony opposing
Senate Bill 2516, which provides
for the curtailment of poultry
and egg production, Smith also
raped the free hand" that it
gave to the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
THE only action producers
can take which is not subject
to the approval of the Secre-
tary is for a program formula
ton committee to decide that no
program is needed for its partic-
ular commodity" Smith declar-
ed.
'NEPPCO is opposed to any
and all legislation which would
directly or indirectly impose
government controls or restric-
tions upon the production or
marketing of any agricultural
product" he concluded. 1T ad-
heres to the basic principles OF

We're coming along fine,'
he said happily. "Our timing
and conditioning are good"
Coach Danny Devine Of Mis-

ing attack.
"A passing team like they
are" he said, can beat any
team if their passing game is

The mild protest of Navy to
the effect that films of Missouri
