100000 today.
Based on 1850 population data,
for each employed person in the
state there are 81 people who are
either Is years of age or younger,
or 65 years old or older. In Kent
and Sussex Counties there are IA
people in these young and old age
groups, for each employed person
In New Castle County the figure
is 43.
This reflects the fact that rural
people are carrying a proportion
ately heavier burden of dependents
than are urban people. Children
constitute a large segment of the
rural support burden and upon
reaching employable age many
leave the farm community to go
to the urban areas. Thus the rural
communities tend to lose the in
vestment of rearing the children.
These are just a few of the pop
ulation characteristics discussed
in the bulletin.

Bulletin On People

A new bulletin, "The People of
Delaware" has been released by
the Agricultural Experiment Stat
ion at the University of Delaware.
DIR. William f. Mcdaniel, chair
man of the department of agricul-
tural economics at the University
of Delaware and DR.. Robert K.
Hirzel. department of sociology,
University of Maryland, are CO.
authors of the bulletin.
The publication deals with pop
ulation trends dating back to 1870
and gives details about population
growth up to 1860.
Dr. Mcdaniel said the bulletin
should be of value to legislators
and those interested in rural and
urban changes because comparisons
are made between rural and urban
areas concerning factors such as
age distribution, dependency ratios
and trends in population growth.
A sample of the facts in the bull
letin are these:
Delaware's population in 1890
was 59,096. Sussex County had 20,-
488 people then and has about 49,
600 now. Kent County had 1920
in 1890 and now has more than 65,-
900, while New Castle County has
grown from 19,68S to more than
100000 in the 170-year interval.
The Delaware population increase
has occurred mostly in New Castle
County. but outside Wilmington.
Wilmington has dropped from a
high of 112,504 in 1910 to about
$4,000 people today. The rest of
New Castle County has increased
from 67,05S in 1910 to more than

placement bearing bushes S,
which has been developed into
major operation, reached new
high levels.
"Our electronics d wi IN S
showed sharp increases in sales
and profit" said Myers and Laf-
fer. Rapidly growing demand for
Clevite transistorS and diodes
resulted in approval of plans for
new $4,000,000 plant in Walt
ham, Mass, which is now under
construction.
Major electronics markets in
which the company has estab-
lished strong positions include
the computer industry, for which
it is leading supplier of diodes,
magnetic recording heads and
oscillographs.
The annual report says that
Clevite's pattern of foreign busi-
ness has begun to crystalline dur
ing the past several years, and in
1859 sales of foreign subsidiaries
were nearly 30 percent ahead of
1858. Clevite Limited, a Canadian
caring manufacturer, estab-
lished new records in both sales
and profit.
A warehousing and sales or
ganization was established in
Mexico to distribute automotive
replacement bearings, and Gle
vite added to its interest in a
small British electronics COM
pany, which will produce transis-
tors and other electronics pro-
ducts under royalty agreements.
Capital additions during the
year were greater than ever be-
fore, totalling approximately
$5,000,000. Research, development
and engineering programs cost
another $5,000,000, putting the
company in the top range of
American industry in the pro-
portion of research to sales
This year, increased sales are
being forecast by all divisions of
the company. Plant and equip
ment expenditures, projected at
approximately $10,000,O00, will
be the largest ever made.
"While this will put heavy
demands on our cash." said
Myers and Latter, "our financial
position is strong, and we should
be able to reinvest substantial
amounts from net earnings,
which we presently expect will
be higher than in 1859.

Impractical To
Bleach Clothes
Clean Says Agent

Homemakers continue to find
it necessary to use bleach in the
family laundry. 1t is impractical
and unsafe to try to bleach
clothes clean. says Mabel Sar-
baugh Extension home manage
ment specialist, The Ohio State
University, formerly Of Noble
county.
There are two main types of
laundry bleaches on the grocery
shelf, chlorine and sodium per-
borate. Chlorine bleach is harm
full to clothing if used carelessly,
cautions the specialist. Follow
the, directions on the label and
measure the amount, Miss Sar-
baugh suggests.
Always dilute chlorine bleach
with water. Full strength liquid
chlorine bleach ne ver should
come in direct contact with
clothing Use this type with
synthetic detergents, bacause it
will react with soap to form a
curd.
Chlorine bleach should not be
used on wool, silk, or rayon or in
iron water Resin finished fab
RIGS may turn yellow as result
of bleaching with chlorine type
bleaches. Check the label on the
garment to see if it suggests a
chlorine bleach, says the special
ist. Powdered chlorine bleach
is less damaging to fabric than
liquid.
Sodiu m perborate bleaches,
generally in powder form, are
safe for all fabrics and colors.
They tend to whiten whites and
brighten colors. The results of
bleaching will not be as notice
able as with the chlorine type,
but fabrics will not weaken as
much with them.
To add to the confusion, opti-
brighten clothing, says Miss Sar-
to detergents to whiten and
cal brighteners have been added
baugh. These brighteners attach
themselves chemically to the fab
ric, but do not remove discolor-
alton as bleaches do.

Committee Takes
Stand On Four-H
Admission (harqe

Ohio's state All Club Advisory
Committee has recommended
that the public not be charged
admission to events where the
official grading of All projects
and activities is being done.
The committee contended that
such activities as All livestock
shows or other competition
events are educational in that
grading and explanations of
grading are given. No charge
should be made to All educa-
tional events, the committee
holds.
The recommendation, handed
down at an annual committee
meeting last week, would not
affect All shows, revues, and
other activities where club men,
berS do not receive an official
grade which goes on their record,
committee spokesmen expla n.
Nor would it have any bearing on
general admission or gate charges
to fairs.
The committee, a 40-member
group of lay people, Extension
agents, and junior All club lead
ers which serves as an advisory
body to the All program in Ohio,
also discussed new projects for
older club members. Commit
teemen suggested the possibility
of more group projects for older
boys and girls projects involv-
ing community service, studies of
careers in agri-business, meat
cutting, and guns and gun safety.
The committee elected Emil
Haney, Jr., of Fairfield county,
a All club junior leader, as
chairman. Haney is student at
Ohio State University. Joe An
derson, route 2, Junction City,
Perry county, was elected vice
chairman, and Mrs. Herman
Hines, route 4, Circleville, Pick
away county, was named secre-
tary.
Other members making up the
executive committee of the ad-
visory group are Mrs. Richard
Schlumbohm, route 2, DeGraff,
Logan county; Luke Biggs, route
2, Mt. Vernon, Knox county; and
David Miskell, county Extension
agent, All, Coshocton county.

Using Grain For
Seed Is Big Risk
To The Farmers

Farmers w h O use their own
grain for seed are taking a big
chance unless the grain has been
cleaned, treated, and tested.
That is the opinion of DR.. Lewis
Saboe, Ohio State University Ex-
tension agronomist. DR.. Saboe
urget Ohio farmers who use their
own grain for seed to have the
grain tested for termination.
That's good insurance, the agron-
omist says.
termination tests of farm crops
are made by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture's seed lab
oratory at Reynoldsburg. Each
farmer may have without charge
three termination tests of field
crops or two purity and germin-
alton tests for clover or alfalfa
samples each year.
Some Ohio farmers are suffer-
ing heavy losses by planting
homegrown grains without first
having tested for termination,
according to DR.. Saboe. He cites
a situation in one county last
year where eight samples of oats
were picked up from trainers at
seeding time. Only two of the
eight samples had high enough
termination for a satisfactory
stand in the field. Two of the
samples showed termination
of about 60 percent; four were
below 40 percent and one tested
almost zero, the agronomist points
out.

Family Council
Idea Should Be
Used Locally

Why not use the family council
idea to solve problems in your
home? suggests John ShultZ, Ex-
tension family life specialist,
The Ohio State University
The basic idea of a family
council recognizes that the fam
lily is a group in which each men,
ber has rights, responsibilities
and privileges. 1t gives all fami-
ly members voice in making
decisions on family matters.
To show how the family coun-
Gil might work, let's take the
Able family, says the specialist.
There are two teen-agers, Chuck
and Margie, and l0-year-old
Rickie. They decide to try the
family council approach to solve
such problems as the hours they
should be in at night, use of the
family car, spending money, use
of the TV set, and chores to be
done at home.
Rebular weekly meetings of
the council were scheduled. At
these meetings each person was
given a chance to express fully
his point of view on each problem
that came up for discussion.
Each family member could bring
before the group any problem he
wanted discussed.
The three children suggested a
blackboard in the kitchen where
each one could sign up to do
certain chores on a weekly basis.
They agreed that all chores must
be done.
Every week the chores were
totaled so that eventually each
youngster had turn at all the
necessary chores. This system
was successful because they de-
vised it themselves and it put an
end to the squabbling about
chores, the specialist says.

Forage Harvests
Should Be Timed
For Production

Time your forage harvests
carefully if you want them to
yield their maximum of high
quality feed, DR.. George R. Gist,
Ohio State University agronomist
advises farmers.
Major forage crops are peren-
mails and usually are harvested
more than once during a season.
Their regrowth after each cut
ting depends largely on how
much food reserves they have
stored up in their roots.
Ohio research has shown, DR..
Gist says, that alfalfa plants are
not greatly weakened by late
April or early May cuttings. At
this time the roots contain large
amounts of food reserves which
insure rapid regrowth. BY mid
May, however, these food re-
serves are depleted and harvest
ing at this stage weakens the
plant. When alfalfa reaches the
early bloom stage, the agronomist
notes, root reserves have been
replenished and there is rapid re-
growth following harvest.
If you clip alfalfa stands early
you usually reduce the yield by
about as much plant material as
you removed in tn e clipping.
Early spring clipping almost al
ways delays the maturity of alf-
alta, according to DR.. Gist, but
not grasses, unless the growing
point of the grass is cut off.
7 Tests indicate, DR.. Gist says
that you can maintain fairly sat
isfactory stands of alfalfa for at
least two years with four cuttings
a year when fertility levels are
high. With poor fertility levels
a 4-cutting schedule can cause
serious stand losses.

IN MEMORY
SAMUEL l.. DAVIS

In loving memory of our dear
one, Samuel L. Davis, who de-
parted this life on April 6, 1947.
It's lonesome here without you,
sad and dreary all the way
for life can never be the
same, since you were called
away
No one knows our longing,
no one sees us weep.
We shed our tears from aching
hearts while others are
asleep.
We often think of the happy
days when we were all
together,
Your loving smile and help
full ways, will live in our
hearts forever.
Looking back with memories
along the roads we trod,
We bless the years we had
with you, dear Dad, and
leave the rest to God.
Sadly missed by:
Mrs. Bertha Davis
Mary B. Grandstaff,
Lewis E. and Edward F. Davis.
