Farmers Invited by County Agent to
Enter 1860 4O-Bushel Soybean Contest

Delaware with a total of $4,000
acres for 1860. Hurricane DON
ma has hurt the yield prospects
this year by blowing down the
lush green vines in many places,
and also by leaving shallow
ponds in low fields. In spite of
this, many people look for some
Delaware farmer to exceed the
record yield of 62.2 bushels per
acre.
Nine Kent County farmers
produced 40 bushels per acre or
better last year. They are: Frank
Winkler & Sons, Harrington;
Ernest Council and Fred Colds
borough, Smyrna; Homer Tor
bert, FELTON,; Sal Schepens, of
Marydel; David and Fred Mar

Farmers are invited for the

George Vapaa, the Kent County
agent.

as the 40 bushel Soybean Con-
test because all farmers who
achieve a measured yield of 40
bushels or better per acre on
their best five acres receive re-
cognition at the annual awards
banquet held in Dover during
Thanksgiving week.
The purpose of the program is
to search out, recognize and give
credit for those fertilization,

tees which contribute to the
most profitable yields. For ex-

varieties have all gained accep-
lance because of their superior

searcher at the University of
Delaware Satisfaction Division at
Georgetown, reported on his
study of feeder space.
He said the study on the de-
lationship of feeder space per
1000 birds showed that feed
was more efficiently used and,
in general, it was more econom-
lical to use 10 five-foot feeders
per 1000 birds rather than the
20 five-foot feeders per 1000
birds now being recommended.
The return, above feed and
equipment costs, for the birds
grown, in the 10 feeders per
l 900 bird pens, was 1882 per
1000 more than the return on
birds grown in the 20 feeder per
l 900 pens, D'Armi said.
DR.. William c. Krauss, U. of
D., discussed a recent test of a
new killed Newcastle vaccine.
He said the new killed vaccine
gave 81 percent protection of
the birds as compared to 20 per-
cent protection for the live virus
vaccine.
The low rate of protection
with the live vaccine was due
to high parental immunity, DR..
Krauss said.
James Nicholson, extension
poultryman with the University
of Maryland, reported on the ad-
vantages of growing male and
female broilers separately. He
also discussed the recent tests
regarding the comparison of

Poultrymen Hear
Survey Report
On Condemnation

A standing-room-only CROWD
of about $50 broiler industry
people attended the Delmarva
Regional Poultry meeting at the
Centenary Methodist Church in
Laurel, DEL, Sept. 81 to hear a
program primarily aimed at re-
duction of broiler condemna-
tons.
DR.. Morris S. Cover, chairman
of the department of animal and
poultry science at the Univer-
sity of Delaware opened the
meeting with a report on a sur
vey of growers management
practices in relation to poultry
condemnations on the Delmarva
Peninsula.
The survey, carried out CO.
operatively by staff members of
the University of Maryland and
University of Delaware, showed
that broiler growers following
the recommended vaccination
and sanitation programs had a
lower condemnation rate on
their birds than did the other
growers studied, Cover said.
The survey covered 81 grow
ers and involved 930,642 birds.
Other results of the study indi-
Gated that narrow broiler houses
and houses with solid partitions
also decreased condemnations.
DR.. Cover said that a very
high number of birds on the pro-
cessing lines showed evidence
of intestinal coccidiosis. AL
though this does not mean the
bird is condemned it does indi-
cate the seriousness of the COO
cidiosis problem because the dis
ease certainly causes poor feed
conversion by the bird and
weakens it for other diseases.
DR.. Harry Love, head of the
department of agricultural econ
omics at Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute, gave a presentation on
the basic economics of agricul-
tural marketing.
Otis Esham, Willards, Md, re-
ported on his recent visit to
broiler growing areas in Maine,
Georgia and Arkansas.
After a Delmarvalous chicken
dinner, research reports were
given by representatives from
the University of Maryland, the
University of Delaware, and
V.P.I.
Agricultural engineer Howard
c. Hoyt, U. of D., reported on
his work on a new processing
method for whole, unextracted
soybeans.
Feeding trials with expanded,
whole soybeans, with 1000
broilers, resulted in an average
weight, at eight weeks, of 3.05
pounds and a feed conversion of
2.10 for the 500 birds on the ex-
banded material. This compared
to an identical average of 3.05
pounds for the 500 birds on con-
versional feed but a feed con-
version of 2.l5 showed up. This
.05 pounds of feed per
pound of broiler produced was
saved with the expanded corn
soya mixture, Hoyt said.

4596 Sales Increase

fering of 50 million in 6 per
cent debentures, which was
oversubscribed. The cost was
$13 a share.
Robert w. Ottobre, sales
manager Of Central Charge, said
his company is able to relieve
merchants Of the necessity for
keeping track of charge ac-
counts they may have with
customers, while member stores
are not required to keep money
tied up in accounts receivable.
Mr.. Ottobre said member
stores may run all the way
from a large chain store, such
as Peoples Drug Stores and
Drug Fair, to the small inde-
pendent drug store.
To judge from the sales
figures shown by Central
Charge, it's apparent the firms
services are increasing business
for members. The sales jump
of As per cent for this past
fiscal year, compares to a
normal increase Of from 80 to
35 per cent increase for past
years.
Variety of Stories
Central Charges member
stores include just about every
type of merchandising in their
operations. There are hard
ware stores, clothing stores,
drugstoreS and so on. BY turn
ing over charge account book
keeping to the service, member
stores are able to devote more
time to merchandising, accord
ing to Mr.. Ottobre.
He said his company also is

The service makes mailing lists

According to Steel, further
gains are likely next month as
the Woodworking industries
principally the automotive and
