AS far as the history of

years. In 68 BIC. when the

ishing since Colonial days,
when the early settlers
planted seeds they had
brought from various parts
Of Europe.
Martha Washington must
have had a fondness for the
small red fruit, too, since a
large section of her cook

is devoted to recipes using
cherries, plums, grapes, and

DILLy OF A GUARD

HEREFORD, England (AP)-
Parading, outside a little white
washed cottage in the nearby ham
let of Lower Eggleton is Dilly-
probably the most unusual "house
guard in Britain.
Dilly, now in her 18th year and
blind from birth, is Khaki Camp
bell duck.
For II years, she has maintain
ed a guard over the house of her
owners, Miss Winifred Evans, a
'seamstress, and Miss Elizabeth
Burnett, a retired school teacher.
Blindness is no handicap to
Dilly. When strangers appear at
the cottage gate, she promptly
issues a challenge with series of
|high-pitched quacks and a violent
flapping of wings
If the visitor does not halt, she
attacks.
For familiar friends such as the
postmans newsboy and mil k
woman. Dillys' quack is less stri-
dent She recognizes them by their
footsteps and voices.
There never has been any ques-
ton of Dilly ending her days in
the oven,' says Miss Burnett,
shes a perfect guard despite her
blindness.

Higher Red Clover
Yields Seen In Future

Chesapeake, a new high produc-
ing variety of red clover, is now
recommended throughout Del, re-
ports Ed Ralph, Sussex Associate
County Agent.
In numerous trials at the Uni
versity of Delaware Substation at
Georgetown, Chesapeake has pro-
duced high, maintained constant
yield and has good Seeding vigor
In general it has out-performed
Pennscott and Kenland, currently
our most widely grown varieties,
he says.
In addition, Ralph points ou t
that Chesapeake is resistant to
cold weather and anthracnose, a
disease which shortens the life of
red clover stands.
Red clover paintings should be
completed before the freezing and
thawing" period ends, the agent
says. This is an important factor
since red clover is broadcasted on
top of small grain seedlings and is
worked into the soil by this freez-
ing and thawing action. Red clover
should be seeded at the rate of six
pounds per acre. Normally, fertili-
zation is not necessary unless the
soil is especially low in potash or
phosphorus.
Because of the anticipated short
seed supply of Chesapeake, Ken
land and Pennscott, imported red
clover seed is being sold in some
areas. Ralph warns these seeds are
inferior to domestic seed in total
yield and disease resistance. I'M
ported red clover seed can be
easily recognized as 10 percent of
it is stained red. If recommended
varieties are not available, we'll
cleaned, high quality Delaware
grown seeds are preferred to i'm
ported ones.

Visiting With A
Sick Friend

All of us occasionally pay visit
to a sick friend. Next time you
have occasion to visit a sick room
either in home or in the hospital
keep in mind few simple thoughts
that will help to make your visit
a welcome one.
Today's Health, the magazine of
the American Medical Association,
offers some pointers on visiting
the sick.
Don't sweep into the sick room
like cyclone. Come in quietly
unobtrusively.
Don't be gloomy. Try to be
cheerful, but don't be silly.
Don't be morbidly curious. If the
patient wants to tell you about his
operation, or to show you the
stitches, let him offer to do so.
Don't be overly sympathetic. Real
sympathy will show through, and
words won't necessarily convey it.
Don't make the patient dissatis-
fled with the care he is receiving
If you disagree, keep it to your
self. You'll help most by making
him feel satisfied with his care.
Don't offer your medical advice
or opinion. The chances are your
opinion is worth next to nothing
Leave medical advice to your
friends physician.
Don't make promises you can't
keep. If you say you plan another
visit, keep your promise.
Don't lie. Don't tell sick man
he looks marvellous, or that he'll
be out in few days. He knows
better. And this doesn't mean you
should tell seriously i'll person
that he looks half dead. Be honest,
but be discreet.
The best test for proper S C k
room conduct is to think back to
your own experiences with visitors
the last time you were ill. The
sick person gets lonesome and
visits often are welcome, particu-
larly during the period of convale-
scence. Visits are welcome, that is
if the visitor exercises a little COM
mon sense.
