Study Of Weather
Data to Be Made
By Kent Farmers

Seventeen farmers scattered
over Kent county are helping
the Extension Service of the
University of Delaware and the
Soil Conservation Service of the
Department of Agriculture gath
er weather data. The object is
to learn how weather facts can
provide better hay and lower
cost potatoes and corn, says
George Vapaa, the agricultural
agent. Fourteen of the farmers
will try to establish the pat
tern of rainfall in the county
as it relates to quality of al
falfa hay. There names are:
Charles Blendt, James L. Mitch
ell, George Fischer, Smyrna;
Samuel Dixon and Dwight Shus-
ter, Clayton; A. Bailey Thomas
and Samuel R. Tome, Dover;
Isaac Thomas, Francis Thomas,
Marydel; Woodrow Haas, Wy
oming; William Parker, Harring-
ton; Reynolds Robbins, Freder-
ica; David Robbins, Milford; G.
Wallace Caulk, Woodside, and
Ellwood Gruwell, FELTON,. Ern-
est Zimmerman of Dover and
Jay Keller of Magnolia will
gather temperature and sun
shine data along with rainfall
information. The purpose is to
more accurately gauge the tim
ing of irrigation schedules. Re-
searchers believe that farmers
can accurately determine when
to spray on water and thereby
save on costs. Most watering
has been a guessing proposition
up to the present. But crop de-
mands for moisture are well
known, and this record will pro-
vide an inventory of the soil
water reserves. Irrigation should
be undertaken at levels of 40
to 500 of soil capacity. Mr.
Vapaa will be happy to have
others cooperate with project.
