Seeding Time For
Alfalfa Is Here

The most important practice in
establishing an alfalfa stand is
early seeding, according to DIR. w.
H. Mitchell. University of Delaware
agronomist. He says while nj a n y
crops have a broad range in seed
ing dates, this doesn't apply to al
falfa. The best time for seeding a
new alfalfa stand is between Aug
ust Is and September 1. This will
allow the plants to reach height
of six to eight inches before h e
first killing frost. Many good alfal-
fla stands have been killed by the
first frost, Mitchell reports, simply
because they were seeded too late.
Here are some other points to
consider in establishing new
stand.
1. Have your soil tested, especi-
ally the PHI test. This will tell you
how much lime to use.
2. Don't be stingy with lime on
alfalfa. One or two tons of ground
limestone per acre should be ap-
piled at seeding time. If the PHI is
below 60, disk one-half ton o
ground burnt limestone into h e
soil just prior to seeding.
8. Purchase good certified alfal-
ia seed. Look for the blue tag. It's
your assurance of purity.
4. Use 20 pounds of seed p r
acre when seeding a pure stand of
alfalfa; or Is pounds per acre mix
ed with orchardgrass.
5. Your choice of variety will de-
pend on the individual situat on.
DuPuits is a fast growing, early
maturing, high yielding variety.
And it is fairly easy to get estab-
lished. 1t has a relatively short life,
however, (no more than two or
three years. and is subject to bac-
terial wilt. Williamsburg is W e. |
adapted to that part of Delaware
below the canal. 1t is long lived
and is finer sItemmed than DuPits.
Narragansett, a newcomer to h e
recommended varieties list, S
heavy yielding and adaptable to a
variety of soil conditions. Vernal is
recommended for northern Della
ware. 1t is wilt resistant and fine
stemmed. 1t recovers slowly, how
ever, after harvesting.
6. Don't be stingy with the fer
tilizer. In most cases, 800 to 400
pounds of S-16-8 or 6-1S-1S will do
the job. 1t is important to use fer
tilizer high in PHOSPHORUS at seed
ing time and then make an annual
application of 0-10-30 or 0-13-39
This application is necessary o
keep the stand producing well and
thriving.
z. Be sure to use Is to 20 pounds
of borax each year.
s. Look for more cows you'll
need them to handle the extra feed.

To Get Top Quality
In Frozen Foods

Are you getting top quality in
the frozen foods you buy?
Maybe not, says Janet Coblentz,
University of Delaware foods and
nutrition specialist. If the frozen
fruits and vegetables are not prop
erly handled at any time after
they are packaged they will lose
color, flavor, texture, and nutr1-
tive value, she says.
OF course, as a shopper you have
no way of knowing what's happen
ed to the foods before they reach
the retail store. But you can watch
out for poor handling there and
take proper care of the foods once
they are yours.
Here's what experts in the US.
Department of Agriculture's Agri-
cultural Research Service say you
should do to get the most for your
frozen food money.
At the market, check the tenn
perature of the food case, IL pos
sible. An indicator often is inside.
1t should register o F. or below.
The case itself should be clean
and the food stacked no higher
than the fill line. Be sure you Sc
lect packages that are clean and
firm. Avoid misshapen packages,
which may mean the food was
thawed and refrozen.
Also, make sure packaging ma
terials are not torn, crushed, or
juice-stained. Frozen foods that is
exposed or poorly packaged dries
out and develops off flayors quick
ly.
So much for the market The
rest is up to you, says Miss Coblen-
tZ.
Select frozen foods last, immed-
lately before you go through h e
check-out line.
AK the checker to place your
frozen foods in a double grocery
bag or insulated food carrier. This
is especially important during
warm weather, she warns.
AS soon as you've bought your
groceries, go home. Put the frozen
items Immediately into the freezer.
Then remember to use them with
in a few months.
Fruits and vegetables will a
from to IL months. But don't try
to keep TV dinners or meat pies
more than months. Ice cream
should be eaten the same month
you buy it.
These storage times are for foods
that are high quality when you buy
them It's good idea to try, soon
after purchase, one or two pack
ages out of a lot to see if the rest
can reasonably be expected to re-
tain their good quality for the plan
ned storage period.

Watering The Garden
Not A Simple Task

Watering the garden seems a
simple enough job. But George Va
paa, Kent county agent, warns that
a lot of the problems he observes
in gardens around the county are
caused by improper watering tech
niques. Too much water can be
Just as harmful as not enough.
On the other hand, many home
owners think they are supplying
their gardens with just the right
amount of water when actually
the supply is hardly enough to be
felt.
Vapaa says watering should not
start until the soil feels dry. Then
IL should be thoroughly soaked un-
TIL it rs moist to a depth of six
inches 10 foot. Use a trowel to
determine how far the water has
penetrated. There is no rule of
thumb to tell how much water this
will take. Different soils require
different amounts of moisture to
penetrate to this depth. the agent
points out. Such a watering will
take care OF your garden even un-
der drought conditions for a week
or ten days.
A thorough saturation may re-
quire as much as three hours time
before the water has reached the
desired depth. Light frequent
sprinklings, which many home
owners are inclined to perform,
only wet the surface and are more
beneficial to crabgrass then any
lawn or garden crops. Usually light
sprinklings cause the plant roots
to grow toward the surface be-
coming shallow rooted and thus
highly susceptible TO a drought, the
agent points out.
Watering the garden in the even
ing is generally considered to be
the most favorable time because
the water will penetrate into the
soil without excess evaporation.
While this is a common practice,
Vapaa warns that wet foliage at
night may help to spread diseases.
To avoid this, water either with
a device that does not wet foliage,
OF apply water early enough in
the evening so that foliage dries
before dark.
Watering the garden with por-
Gus hose is probably the best meth
od 1t delivers water to large
area without wetting the foliage,
or causing the soil to wash. And
it is effective on slopes and rolling
terrain. On level ground, removing
the nozzle and letting the water
run out slowly on a board, handful
OF straw or piece of canvas will
reduce washing.
Sprinklers moisten larger areas
then a porous hose and are easy
to operate. But, Vapaa says sprink-
lers are usually not left in opera
ton long enough to deeply moisten
the soil and under certain condi-
tons do not provide for uniform
moisture distribution in the soil.
