Hot Hogs-Poor Coins

Keep hogs cool if you want them
to gain we'll, advises George
Vapaa, Kent county agent He says
that when the temperature climbs
above IS degrees, hogs gain little
or no weight Anything you can
do to keep them cooler will pay.
Hot hogs require three times as
much feed per pound of gain, he
points out AT go degrees, 400
pounds of feed will produce 100
pounds of pork compared to 1900
pounds of feed per 100 pounds of
pork at So degrees.
Hogs remain fairly comfortable
at temperatures that do not go
above rs degrees, according to Mr..
Vapaa When the mercury jumps
above this mark, hogs are likely to
have difficulty in breathing and
show little interest in eating in the
morning and after sundown.
Research by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture indicates that
an effective way of keeping pigs
cool is to install shower or
Opu lnhISl WHICH FIlC piss CcllA ilhOhN
in and out of it at will Three
pinpoint noZZles using a slittle as
11a gallons of water per hour per
nozzle will supply a fine mist suf-
ficiemt ito keep a pen of 40 to so
pigs comfortably cool all day.
Researchers have found that a
cooling spray is an especially good
management practice to use with
pigs raised on concrete. The spray
cools the concrete as well as the
pigs.
A sprinkler can be used for pigs
ON pasture as we'll. A portable
shade with sprinkler moved from
one part of a field to another on
successive days will avoid develop
ment of mud holes.
Sprinklers are recommended
only at temperatures above rs de
grees, the agent adds.
Other less expensive ways to
keep hogs cool include: providing
artificial shade, including plenty of
salt in the ration, keeping water
ing devices full, and placing feed
ers in the shade.
Mr. Vapaa says plans for build
ing artificial shades are available
free of charge from the county ex-
tension office in the Dover Post
office, telephone 736-1448.

COST CUTTERS
by
w. Il. McAllister
Farm Management Specialist
University of Delaware

Most farmers are feeling the eff
fects of higher costs of production
with no increase in prices for their
products. The only immediate ans
wer to this dilemma is to improve
farm management skills.
Here are some cost cutting tech
niques that will help farmers meet
these demands.
FER TILIZER PAYS DIVI-
DENDS = Put your commercial
fertilizer investment where it will
do the most good. The initial ap-
plication of fertilizer gives t h e
biggest return per dollar Wit h
limited cash lower rates of appli-
! cation over more acres pays better
than higher rates over fewer acres.
When cash is limited use fertilizer
first on the high value crops. Look
for other places to cut costs be-
fore you cut fertilizer investment.
FARMSTEAD PLANNING IT h e
next major chronological break
through in agriculture will prob
ably be centered around the farm
center of farm work it lis usually
poorly designed and lacks PLAN
ming for efficient operation. An ex-
ample of this is a comparison be-
tween a we'll arranged loose hous-
ing system and conventional stall
barns. The loose housing reduced
travel 30%o and time spent per
COW 10.
INCENTIVE PAYMENT FOR
FARM HANDS = The way hired
man does his work affects the
profits made by the farmer. How
ever the hired mans earnings are
not necessarily related to the work
he does or the profits of the farm.
Many farmers are considering
some type of incentive payment
which would reward the hired man
for better performance and at the
same time increase the farmers
profits.
LOWER TAXES = Pay wages
to children for work actually per-
formed on the farm. If the child
is under 19 or over 19 and normal
ly enrolled in college he can earn
5000 or more and still be claimed
an exemption if the farmer con-
tributes one half of the chiId's
support.
When replacing machinery or
equipment consider trading ver-
sus outright sale and new pur-
chase. The latter may offer favor
able depreciation reductions.
Records of farm expenses should
be complete and carefully kept
throughout the year Five dollars
of expenses not recorded means a
tax payment of about $1.00 Ask
your county agent about Electronic
Farm Accounts. Complete records
should be kept of all income with
special notes on income from gifts
inheritance sale of bonds and farm
loans. Revenue agents consider
any deposits as earned income un-
less there is evidence to the con-
trary.
INCREASING DEDUCTIONS =
Every farm business has certain
expenditures which classify as
operating" expenses under t a
laws yet actually have benefits ex-
tending for more than a single
year. These expenditures should
be planned for high income years.
They include repairs to buildings
such as partial roofing and paint
ing; minor overhauls on ma
chinery; purchase of small tools;
new tires; etc.

We went to see Melvin

When we knocked on the door
we could see Melvin through

his electric guitar across his

II and playing an accompani-
ment to record that was
playing loudly on the phono-

We waited and then knock
