Cows Affected BY
Hot Weather

Everybody is uncomfortable when
the Weather Bureau discomfort in
dex hits 70. Everybody" includes
the cows, Kent County Agent
George Vapaa says.
In fact, summer shelters for
dairy herds should be designed to
keep the discomfort index, which
is measurement of the combina-
tion of heat and humidity, at rs or
less, Mr.. Vapaa says.
A three-year study at the Uni
versity of Missouri on the effects
of temperature and humidity on
Holstein cows-in U.S.D.A. climatic
laboratories - showed that when
temperature and humidity are too
high, feed consumption and milk
production drop.
The study indicates the minimum
shelter requirements needed to
maintain milk production during
hot summer.
Cows should be kept. where the
tempepature-humid combination
produces a discomfort index of rs
or less. Such a discomfort index
gives a maximum range of a temp
erature of n degrees with 80 per-
cent relative humidity to 80 de-
grees with 10 percent relative hui
midity.
The study determined values
that can be used in designing air
conditioning equipment for a shell
ter.
The discomfort index often ex-
ceeds rs during the summer in
Kent county, Mr.. Vapaa says.

What's The Cost OF
Time Payments? ?

The price tag says $40 down
with easy monthly terms.
The merchant who displays a
price tag like this is really saying.
PAY $40 now and I'll lend you the
rest of the money to purchase the
article. You can pay me back in
easy monthly payments"
But that nnocent-looking price
tag doesn't tell the whole story
says Miss Patricia Middleton, ex-
tension home management special
ist at the University of Delaware.
1t doesn't mention how much in
terest you'll be charged for the
privilege of borrowing this money.
Many customers buying items on
time are unaware of how much in
terest they are paying or what the
article will really cost them in the
long run, according to Miss Middle
ton. Many people are startled to
find that a 800 item may actually
have cost $50 dollars when they
total up the monthly payments.
Time payments, Miss Middleton
points out, have allowed many fam
lilies to purchase both necessities
and luxuries sooner than if they
had to wait until they could pay
cash. She warns however, that be-
fore you buy an article on time,
be sure you're aware of how much
it will really cost you. Check the
actual cost and figure out what
the total amount of interest will
be. Then decide if you want or
need the article badly enough to
want to spend the extra money for

Plant SOybeans
May 20 June Is

Although our state average yield
of soybeans was only "a bushels
in 1860, several of our growers av-
eraged over 40 bushels per acre
last year. There is no reason why
most Delaware farmers should not
grow 40 bushels of soybeans per
acre, if rainfall is sufficient, said
Ed Ralph, associate county agent.
One of the most important things
to consider in soybean production
is soil testing. The optimum PHI for
soybeans is between 60 and 6.5
Soil tests will show the exact nut
rients needed, but in absence of a
soil test, about 200 to 800. pounds
of an 0-20-20 or an 0-15-30 fertili-
ger should be used. A small amount
of nitrogen may help on light.
sandy soils. but University of Del
aware research has shown no yield
increases from the addition of nit
rogen.

Bugs Take Wing In
Spring

This is a pretty good time to
check the household for unlimited,
hungry. occupants. according TO Ed
Ralph. associate county agent.
What he has in mind is termites.
Some of them are taking to the
air with a double pair of wings
now, and this makes them easier
to find.
There is reason for concern
about termites Ralph says, but
there is no need for hasty action
nor panicky hip shoting at shad-
ows.
Don't be rushed into action" Ra-
lph said. Legitimate pest control
association members will not try
to frighten you into taking immed-
late action. Termites work very
slowly, there is no reason to panic.
Just because you find some dou-
Bile winged insects flying about
doesn't necessarily mean you have
termites. Ralph said.
Winged ants are often mistaken
for flying termites, but it's easy
to tell the difference by the narrow
waist of the ants. The termite is
smaller and is the same width all
the way down.
! IL you want to do little scout
ing you can check around your
foundation walls for little mud-like
tubes about a quarter inch wide
If you find any, break them open
and look for small white insects
inside. They are the worker ter
mites and are the real paddles
in this racket.

The best time of planting soy
beans in our area has been shown
to be between May 20 and June
Is. The Clark variety usually has
better quality if planted after the
middle of June, but the yield will
also be reduced.
Only recommended, adapted var
ieties should be planted, and only
pure varieties should be used, Rail
ph added. Occasionally farmers use
mixtures in order to support each
other or for some other reason,
but most of the time one single,
pure variety will yield more be-
cause it natures at one time and
not over long period as mixtures
often do.
Where weeds are a real prob
. lem in soybean production, chem
icals can be used. A dinitro weed
killer (sold as Premerge or Sinox
PEI, is generally effective when
used at the rates of 3 to pounds
of active ingredient per acre. This
rate is figured on a broadcast ap-
plication.
If a band application is used, the
cost of material on a per acre
basis will be reduced.
Three to five pounds of active
ingredient will be enough to cover
to 8 acres where the band appli-
cation is made, depending on the
width of the band.
The dinitro material will be less
effective if the soil is very dry
when the temperature is above 75o
F.
