New Pepper Variety
Released At u. of D.
CONTINUED from page one)

The fruits of Delaware Belle are
larger, blocker and have thicker
walls than those of California
Wonder which has been a favor
tie variety. They are glossy green,
in the immature stage and ripen
to deep red throughout.
Delaware Bellies have out-yield-
ed ali ether varieties tested at the
University of Delaware, according
to Brasher This season they pro-
duced 1872 tons of marketable
green peppers per acre. The plants
grow to height of Is to "a inches
with adequate foliage to protect
the fruit from sunscald. In addi-
ton, they are resistant to tobacco
mosaic, troublesome pepper dis
ease.
Development of the new variety
began in 1949, when Professor
Brasher started hybridization
and selection program involving
special strain of California Won
der and a 20 acre seed field of
the H. P. Cannon and Son, Inc,
of Bridgeville, Delaware. This
field was secuted to find superior
plants with the most desirable
fruit type for processing. Out of
the many thousands examined, six
plants were selected as ideal spe-
cimens. These plants were strip
ped of all fruit and open blossoms
and then Gagged with a fine mesh
cloth to prevent outside pollen
from fertil:zing the flowers Sub
sequent plants produced from these
self-poliimated plants were grown
in isolation. The most desirable
ones were maintained for future
breeding work. One of these pro
genies" became the female parent
of Delaware Belle. The male par
ent N. j. 52-12, was selected be-
cause of its superior resistance to
tobacco mosaic.
In the year following the origi-
nal cross, plant from the FL or
first generation was back crossed
to the special strain of California
Wonder that had been selected
Many selections were made from
the plants produced b ythis back
cross. These were tested in sue
ceeding generations through 1861.
Finally a selection from the FLO
generation which means 10 gen.
erations removed from the origi-
nal cross, was chosen for naming
and release.
Seedmen can obtain foundation
seed for increase from the origi-
nator, Prof. E. p. Brasher, chair
man, department of horticulture,
University of Delaware, Newark
Delaware. A limited quantity of
commercial seed may be obtained
from H. p. Canon and Son, Bridge
vile, Delaware.

Book Use Doubles
At The University
Continued from page one)

tCOlltlnuCu II Oul pd6t OlCJ
Reporting recently on library
progress to faculty colleagues, Dr.
Munroe noted that in 1886, the
per student use of library books
was IA volumes. In 1960-61, the
annual use per student had risen
to 25 volumes, figure reflecting
both faculty emphasis on scholar
ship and seriousness Of purpose on
the part of students.
Matching the increased use of
library resources is the greater
demand for library use and SER
vices. Student requests last year
led to an extension of library hours
to eleven o'clock in the main read
ing room. During the regular aca-
demic year, the library was open
SO hours each week and in exam
ination periods, additional evening
hours were scheduled, extending
the work week of the library staff
to 102 hours.
In 1960-61 1874 volumes were
added to the library collections, as
were 4,131 reels of microfilm and
3,242 microprint titles. The library
now has 328,292 volumes.
One measure of the library's in
creasing strength is that last year
for the first time, the University of
Delaware loaned more books than it
borrowed under the interlibrary
loan plan. A total of 219 volumes
were borrowed from Libraries in 26
states, Canada and England. Some
$50 volumes were loaned to libra
1ries in 80 states, Canada, England
and Germany.
Rapid growth i'm collections and
in the size of the university'S un-
dergraduate and graduate enroll
ments highlights the need for a
new library, funds for which were
appropriated by the 121st General
Assembly this year. Construction
of the $3,127, 900 facility, to be
located ON College Avenue south of
Hullihen Hall, is expected to be-
gin in the spring of 1862.

Federation Hits Report
On Welfare Needs

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night blasted
a report on District welfare
needs that was presented be-
fore a November 2 meeting of
the Community Planning Com
mittee.
The federation charged that
the report-prepared by q sub
committee Of the planning
committee indicates "an ap-
palling lack Of understanding
Of the practical aspects Of pub
lie welfare" 1t is so over
loaded with only theoretical
musings and verbose express
ions" that applications of its
ideas are lost, according to the
federation.
The Community Planning
Committee was established on
recommendation OF Comm1S-
sioner John B. Duncan to study
welfare needs.
The federation charged that
in the report rehabilitation is
given secondary considerat-
ion" and that no consideration
Evening star., 1961-11-10

is given to the "basic premise"
that social welfare should be
temporary.
And the federation charged
that the report ''in language
very carefully phrased" claims
the total community should
mete out public assistance be-
cause of economic insecurity,
discrimination and neighbor-
hood neglect allegedly caused
by the total community.
The federation plans to vent
its feelings on the report at the
November II meeting Of the
Community Planning Commit
tee. The federation also voted
to maintain a vigilant scru-
tiny" Of all reports Of the COM
