power interchange with Delaware
Power and Light Company, the
parent company, and the Maryland
New Jersey-Pennsylyania power
pool.
Mr. Mullen came to the Eastern
Shore in 1916 as assistant man
ager of production. At that time
the Vienna power plant had only
four turbo generating units with
total capacity of $1,000 XIV. He
assisted in supervising the addi-
tional installation of three units
at Vienna and the construction of
a new plant, known as Indian
River, which multiplied the kilo-
watt production ten times in the
fourteen year period.
He is native of Washington,
d. c., and a graduate of Mckinley
Technical High sSchool and Cath
olic University He earned his
Bachelor of Science degree in Me-
chanical Engineering while hold
ing a full time job in the District
of Columbia Free Public Library.
Mr.. Mullen has done post grad
uate work at the University of
Pittsburgh an dDuquesne Univer-
sity. He recently took courses in
Atomic Energy and Atomic Re-
actors, sponsored by the Engi-
neers' Club of Philadelphia.
His first engineering job was as
a test engineer at the Brunot Is
land Power Station, a property of
the Duquesne Light Company in
Pittsburgh. After one year, he
transferred to the system develop
ment department of the Duquesne
Light Company, where he served
for thirteen years as senior engi-
neer and mechanical engineer. In
addition to the mechanical engi-
neering for power plant Develop
ment, he studied the various engi-
neering problems associated with
the many subsidiary companies of
the Duquesne Light Company, in
Guiding the Allegheny County
Steam Heating Company, supply
ing steam to downtown Pittsburgh;
the Equitable Auto Company; and
the Harwick Coal and Coke Com
pany.
In the five years prior to moving
to the Eastern Shore, he was en-
ployed by the Pittsburgh and West
Virginia Railways Company as
steam and electrical engineer. His
engineering studies and operation
of chemical treatment of locomo-
tive boiler feed water resulted in
economies of boiler operation and
increased life of f1ues.
Mr.. Mullen is a registered pro-
fessional engineer in Maryland and
Pennsylvania. He holds member
ships in the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, the Engi-
neers' Society of Western Penn
sylvania, the National District
Heating Association, as well as the
local American Institute of Elec-
trical Engineers.

Underfeeding Rule In Many Herds

Undertaking is the rule, not
the exception, in too many dairy
herds. says w. S. Griffith, dairy
specialist at VPI.
He says experimental evidence
Of this unhappy state Of affairs
is forthcoming from Washington
State Univer sity where scien-
lists have been studying tn e
records Of 2,48O cows in t h e
Dairy Herd Improvement AS
ISOLATION lDHIA) program.
Cows milking three to six
months dropped off in milk pro-
duction far too rapidly. This is
proof Of undertaking. Griffith
says, because at this time the
COW is eager to milk. But
she has no choice when she is
underfed. She must either pro-
duce less milk or suffer excess
sive loss Of weight.
The influence of feed on pro
duction is clearly shown by the
MAY milk production records on
the cows studied. Cows calving
in February reached their peak
daily milk production in May
when pastures finally furnished
enough feed for them. Cows
calving in May also had their
highest milk production in May.
In studying the monthly pro-
duction of cows it is easy to find
individuals that produce 80 to
40 per cent more milk in May
and June than they did when
they freshened in January or
February. This is proof that the
winter feeding is totally made
quate, the specialist says.
Cows calving in July and
August are too far along in
lactation to benefit from improv-
ed pasture conditions the follow
ing spring. During October and
November as feed conditions de.

Social Security
Death Payment
Plan Explained

In addition to monthly sur
vivor benefits, a lump sum death
payment is always made to a
qualifying person or persons upon
the death Of an individual in
sured under social security. The
lump sum is always paid to the
widow or Widower. if that per-
son was living in the same house
hold as the deceased. Otherwise
payment is made to the person
or persons who paid the burial
expenses.
A widow or WidoWer who did
not live with the deceased can
claim the lump sum if she or he
paid the burial expenses. The
lump sum payment cannot ex-
coed the burial expenses. and
the amount payable may be
three times the basic monthly
benefit but cannot exceed S255.
Application for the lump sum
payment must be made within
two years Of the date of death Of
the insured individual.
Dependents of the deceased,
entitled to social security sur
vivor's benefits, can speed up the

if you are in it to stay. Feeder
pig prices will stay up as long
as hog prices are up. It would
be risky to get into feeder pigs
if you are not in now.
II is a good time to feed your
corn to hogs. if. you have a piace
to store it. There is virtually no
commercial corn storage this
year and virtually no market for
early hIeh-moisture corn either.
If you let it dry in the field and
can store on the farm. you can
probably add several cents a
bushel to your corn price by sell
ing it as hog.
Hogs were bringing $16.25 to
$40 iii Richmond last week, SIG

tons and Sl8.25 to SIG in western
markets.

chance Of price improvement and
big chance the Weeyils will
eat it up.
Corn prices will probably holC
about where they are for cou-
pie Of weeks, but by then it will
be time for the decline before
harvest.
BY all means. leave new corn
in the field until it has dried to
at least 25 per cent moisture.
There will be no demand or very
heavy discounts this year for
early high-moisture corn. Your
grain dealer will make a mois-
ture check for you.

Hogs


Look for a little more strength
in hog prices during the next
two weeks or so. We are getting
close to the years seasonal peak
in prices-a little later this year.
About mid-AuguSt prices will
probably start their usual decline
until fall. but it will not be nearly
as sharp or go as far as last
year.
Projected farrowings indicate
that the number of hogs coming
to market nationally through Au-
gust. September and October
will be between is and 20 per
cent less than last year.
Growers over the country
made most of their adjustment
last year under pressure of low
prices. but you can probably
count on year to a year and a
half of generally good hog prices
before the build-up brings sup
plies back up.

probably see the cycle swinging
back the other way and hog
prices tarting down again.
Meanwhile, the hog corn ratio is
unusually good. about 14.4 as of
July is in Chicago.
If it is going to require siz-
able investment, this is not the
best time to get into the hog
business. BY the time you get
rolling, prices will start down
again.

Exporters paid good early
prices for this corn last year be-
cause of foreign demand, but a
lot of this early, artificially dried
corn soured on the way over, and
foreign buyers have said fatty
they don't want any more of it.
The cut-back in export de-
mand, coupled with a six-cent
drop in the corn support price
this year to SLIP will probably
start new corn prices off lower
than last year.

Look for egg prices to ease up

weeks More old hens will go to

The total number of layers
across the country was just about
the same as last year on July l.
because producers were holding
old hens as long as they could.
but they are starting to come to
market, as indicated by a de-
cline in hen prices.
AS they leave. egg prices will
rise The egg industry's forecast
ing committee thinks prices will
be four to eight cents above last
year from late July through Sep

With replacement pullets short,
egg prices will be we'll above last

The past week, as reported by
county agricultural agents.

the answers.)
Q-Are sprays used to kill
weeds injurious to livestock?
A-SOme are, some may not
be. Be sure to read the label and
follow the directions carefully.
O. What is the best thing to
do when lawns have been dam
aged with weed killer? Reseed
Or wait for new growth?
Alt depends on the extent OF
the damage. If the grass is only
burned it will probably recover.
Seeding time is in the fall and
YOU will be able to tell by then
how badly the lawn has been
damaged.
Q-What causes the acid con-
tent Of fresh milk to be so high
that it is turned down by the

most common is improper cool
