agricultural agent George Va
paa suggests you set the drill
at what you think is the right
seeding rate, block up the frame
SO that one wheel is free, 70.
tate the wheel 80 turns ano
measure the grain discharged.
The circumference of the
wheel multiplied by 80, and the
result by the effective width OF
the drill coverage represents the
area covered in square feet.
Then divide this into 1886
and multiply the answer by the
pounds of seed discharged.
The answer will be the guam
tity per acre that the drill seeds
at that particular setting.
Ernest N. Scarborough, ex-
tension agricultural engineer at
the University of Delaware,
passed the formula along. He
says acucrate seeding can be
determined only by a test with
the actual seed that is going to
be planted in the particular drill
you are going to use.

named by the state Extension
Service staff. A committee OF
IL Extension workers will judge
state winners records to deter
mine those worthy of national
awards. Judging will be done
at the National All Service
Committee headquarters in No,
vember prior to the opening ol
the club congress.
From the outset of organized
club work in the l920's, junior
leadership training has been
recognized as a vital compon-
ent of All growth, according to
Baker. Definite leadership pro-
jects were offered by a few
states as early as 1923.
The present leadership awards
program is being amplified and
current national enrolment is
expected to exceed the 10000
boys and girls who participated
in 1860. Of this number, ap-
proximately 100000 served as
assistant or project leaders,
Baker said.
Leader training is directed by
the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice and carried out by volun-
teer adult leaders in each club.
1t is extimated that 25 per-
cent of the 302,500 adult val
unteer leaders now serving All
were former junior leaders.
Additional infor m a t i o n re-
garding the All leadership
awards program can be obtain

agent, local club leaders, or

Blackbird Crop
Damage Studied
By Biologist

All across the United States
a small but dedicated band of
biologists in the Branch of
Wildlife Research, u. S. Depart
ment of Interior, are waging a
war against blackbirds. 1t is a
battle of science against crop
damage.
Among these scientists is AL
len R. Stickley, Jr., a new mem
ber of the Blackbird Control
Project at the University of
Delaware. He will join John T.
Linehan, biologist with the U.
S. D. l., stationed at the Uni
versity, in developing a means
of producing damage-free crops
through resistant strains and
cultural methods.
AS yet, there is no easy meth
cd of defeating the blackbirds,
but Linehan and Stickley have
found that a definite relation
ship exists between corn var
ieties and blackbird damage.
Some of the practices they are
testing include repellent chemi-
Gals, scare devices such as ex-
ploders and rope fire crackers,
habitat control, and reduction
of population by various meth
ods.
Stickley came to the school
of agriculture by way of the
Virginia Commission of Game
and Inland Fisheries where he
had worked since 1857. One of
his more interesting research
projects was trapping and tag
ging black bears to increase
game management information
about the animal.
Stickley is an Air Force vet
eran. He entered George Wash
lington University after dis
charge from the service and re-
ceived his bachelors degree
there in 1855. He obtained his
masters degree at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute in 1858.
He is married and lives in
Newark.

tolerable."
Senator Hart estimates there

concentrated in Miami and
Dade County. Hundreds more
are arriving weekly.

a preview of the problems yes
terday afternoon when they
witnessed a documentary film
shown by Gene Strul, news
director of Miami's WCKT-
TV.
Produced by Mr.. Strul and
entitled Crisis Amigo" it was
shown to the public last night
by the Miami station to point
up that city's problems as the
major asylum for Cub a n
refugees.
Senator Hart said the first
witness at this afternoons ses-
sion will be DR.. Jose Miro
Cardona. chairman of the Gu
ban Revolutionary Council,
who was the first Premier in
the Cuban revolutionary gov
ernment formed by Castro.

to resettle refugees in other
parts of the country and. with
help from the Organization of
American States, in other parts
of the Western Hemisphere.
Church and private volun-
tary agencies already have re-
