troll of capital and credit must be
rated more important than large
size.
Size, however, docs play two
very important roles in the farm
organization.
First it helps to make better ef-
ficiency possible That is farmer
can make more efficient use of his
time and machinery if he can use
them for fifty cows rather than
thirty cows. Large units help low
er unit costs.
For example, the same baler,
tractor and wagon unit can handle
seventy-five acres of hay a year
about as well as thirty acres. And
using the tools on seventy-fve
acres rather than thirty cuts the
equipment cost per acre by two
and a half times.
The second reason why size of
the farm business is important is
because it helps to multiply pro-
fits. If you have labor income
OF $3.50 per cow on twenty cows
and can double the herd size with
out losing this per COW income
average, then you can double your
income
But, if you are not able to lower.
your costs per animal to achieve
more efficient production with
larger business unit then the big
ber size becomes a handicap.
Management is the key to the
whole situation. 1t isn't the size
of the unit but the way the far
mer uses what he has to work with
that really determines his success
or failure.
Farmers with small farm units
will operate their farm units diff
ferently from those with big units,
but in all cases they will be trying
to make the most of what they have.
This means keeping production
costs per unit low, keeping pro-
duction levels high, and making
good use of labor, capital and cred
it.
Within reasonable limits it's the
man on the farm rather than the
size of the farm that determines
how successful the business will
be.
It's the MAN" in management
that really counts.

Scales. Especially on HemI0ck Can
Be Curbed During August
Needles of hemlocks used as
hedges and ornamental trees often
turn yellow and brown at this time
of year. The trees take on sickly
appearance.
Chances are, says Don Cantwell,
District Manager of the Bartlett
Tree Expert Co., they are infested
by scale insects or mites. Mites
can be controlled by miticide;
scales by an insecticide, preferably
malathion.
Now during August the young of
Florina scale on hemlock are
crawling. These scales are tiny,
gray to white in color, dominant on
the underside of the needles. They
have become increasingly destruc-
tive in recent years.
Thoroughly cover the underside
of the leaves with malathion. Re
peat the application in two weeks.
1t may take year or two to clean
up a severe infestation.
August is also the time to con-
troll other troublesome scale in
sects. These are the major ones
and the time to spray for control:
Beech scale on beech and golden
oak scale on oak-during early
August.
Euonymus scale on euonymus,
ivy and pachysandra, and elm
bark louise on elm-mid to late
August
Magnolia scale on magnolia and
tuliptree scale on tulip leaves
late August to early September.
Fletcher scale on taxus and ar
borvitae- during. entire month.
Why Sycamore Trees Shed Bark
Big patches are now taking off
trunk and branches of sycamore
trees.
It's messy on the lawns and
sidewalks beneath these trees. But
it's a. sign of robust tree health,
says Don Cantwell, District Man
aged of the Bartlett Tree Expert
Co., and does the tree no harm.
Shedding of bark in irregular
places and exposing white patches
on the trees are part of syca-
more's growth process. 1t is due
to girth growth as trunk and
, branches become thicker in size.
The bark simply stretches and
drops off. On most other trees
stretch-growth results in assured
patterns on the trunks as the bark
is pushed outward.

Bigness May Not
Mean Efficiency
BY w. Z. McAlIister
University of Delaware Farm
Management Specialist

NidldEtuiCnL DDCCAdlioL
Many people in agriculture or
associated with it talk incessant-
ly about the need for farmers to
increase the size of their farms
business.
We often forget that what we are
after is efficiency and simply being
a big operator" does not automat-
ically make an operation more ef-
ficient.
A big farm with lots of cows or
hogs or machinery doesn't guar
antee success in farming. A large
business can be multiplier of
profit, but if there is loss the
large operation also multiplies the
loss.
The farmer who has so many
acres or cows that he really doesn't
have the time to get anything done
right, can get into trouble faster
and deeper than smaller operator.
Just one bad mistake or crop fail
ure and losses may be so large
that he cannot recover. This is es-
pecially likely to occur if the far
mer has over extended his credit
in an effort to get big business
unit.

FISHING LINES
Sport Fishing For Marlin


With calm seas and fair weather,
Delaware's sport fishing fleet is
putting out to sea in search OF the
marlin. An artificial bait known as
the ''teaser" is trolled through the
water at known marlin areas. This
bait skips along making consider
able splash which arouses the cur
iosity of the marlin, and the big fish
surfaces. At this time bats Of
fresh squids are trolled behind the
boat in the hope that the game fish
will be hungry. Suddenly there is
the cry of striker The battle is
on. The marlin, famous for its
spectacular leaps, literally walks
on it's tail across the ocean surface.
Actually the big fish is thrashing
it's tail in an effort to throw the
hook. The task of landing this
tackle-buster is difficult, and often
several hours are required to boat
the coveted prize. Either white or
blue martins make excellent
mounts to be cherished for life.
At present, Delaware waters con-
tain both the white marlin, found
closer to shore, and the blue mar
lin, found in our off-shore waters
closer to the Gulf Stream. Della
wares marlin season has just be-
gun; already, approximately 20 OF
these fish have been landed by the
Indian River fleet. Boats operating
from SCOTS Marina have also been
successful
Variety of Ocean Fish
Catches of many different spe-
cies of fish have been reported
from the Indian River area. Blue
fish, dolphin, mackerel, oceanic bo-
nito, sea bass, ling cod, tautog,
founder and trout are being taken
quite frequently. Charter boats Ell
Don II, Virginia B, Indian, La Don,
Three Sisters and the Queen have
made excellent catches of many Of
these fish.
Trout Fishing
Charter boats the Morning Star
and Captain Dick of Bowers and the
Aloha of Mispillion Light all re-
port improved trout fishing in Del
aware Bay. The University of Della
ware Marine Laboratories also re-
port that greater concentrations of
trout have been taken in their trawl
net catches.
Reefs designed to attract natural
growth and, in turn, attract certain
species of fish are now under con-
struction. Two reefs composed of
different sized concrete pipe will
be lowered to the floor of the ocean
in the Indian River area within the
month. This experimental project
will be closely observed by skin
divers so that recommendation can
be made for their most efficient use
in Delaware waters.
Boat Registration
Every motor boat operating in
Delaware waters must be registered
Gee $2.00). A boat covered by a
number in full force, awarded by a
federally approved numbering sys-
tenn, may be used in the State of
Delawarelup to 80 consecutive days
without applying for Delaware reg
istration. Inquiries or applications
for registration should be address

Senate Rejects

Aid Education

The Senate today rejected
a proposal to give the States
5000 million a year for educa-
tional purposes from Federal
cigarette tax proceeds. Sena-
tor Cotton, Republican Of New
Hampshire, had offered this
plan as q substitute for a Dem
ocratic-sponsored bill carrying
81 billion in grants to the
States in the next two years
for school construction.
The Senate reached its first
vote quickly after the start of
debate on aid-to-education
measures. However, Senator
Cotton did not press for a roll
call; his substitute lost on a
voice vote with fewer than a
dozen Senators on hand.
Senator Mcnamara, Demo-
crat Of Michigan, made the
opening speech yesterday in
support Of the bill he sponsors
to authorize $500 million an
nually for two years to be
matched by the State for build
ing new clasSrooms.
The Mcnamara bill faces
attack from two directions.
Liberals will try to expand it to
cover salaries for teachers and
loans to private schools.
The administration will try
to cut the bill down by elm
mating grants and substituting
a plan Of helping to meet the
carrying charges on bond issues
floated by the States.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said the administration
will fight a move to add
another 81 billion to the
Mcnamara bill for teachers
salaries.
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, is sponsoring the
amendment to add $75 million
for long-term Federal loans to
private and parochial schools.
Senator Dirksen said admin
istration leaders have not yet
decided what position they will
take on this issue.
The Democrats have such
substantial majorities in both
houses that they probably will
defeat the Eisenhower ap-
proach and pass q bill along
the lines of the Mcnamara
measure. There are reports the
President will veto any bill
containing outright grants. If
that happens, aid to education
will be made an issue by the
Democrats in the presidential
campaign.
