More than 1000 people took
advantage of the University of
Delaware's invitation to visit it's
Georgetown research farm dur
ing Farm and Home Field Day
August 7 and see some of the
work being conducted there. In
addition to a look at more than
80 agricultural researchpro-
jects, there was time to visit
with old friends, talk to Uni
versity specialists about farm
problems and shake hands with
Delaware's governor Ebert N.
Carvel.
One of the main attractions
at Field Day was a sick plant
clinic manned by School of Ag-
riculure specialists. Visitors
brought IT different plant prob
lens to the clinic for diagno-
sis and recommendation. DR..
John Heuberger, University
plant pathologist, said this was
an increase In participation
over last years clinic. Major
problems conferred around
mites, thrips and nutritional de-
ficiencies. Of the II specimens,
33 dealt with insects, 27 with
nutritional disorders and fertil-
ity problems and II with plant
diseases.
Heuberger reported that $50
people visited the clinic during
the day to examine an exhibit
on soybean diseases and insects
and to talk about plant disease
and insect problems.
The windowless broilerhouse,
a topic of much conversation
among peninsula poultrymen,
seemed to draw a lot of atten-
tion. Poultrymen had an op-
portunity to 60 inside the house
and examine the birds. Frank
D'Armi, research associate at
the University Substation who is
in charge of poultry work, told
them that the birds were making
excellent progress. The 5000
birds were placed in the house
nine weeks before Field Day
and, for all practical purposes,
they didn't see the light of
day until they we're removed
from the house and sent to the
professors the day after Field
Day. Although carcass data
won't be available for a few
days, D'Armi feels the birds
will outweigh birds raised at
the Substation In conventional
houses during this same period.
1t is the hope of University
poultrymen and agricultural en-
gineers that this new kind of

Transportation officer, Capt.
Jesse P. Lindo says, "We have
taxi service "a hours a day,
seven days a week. With our
improved dispatching facilities
we can compete with the speed
and convenience offered by a
private vehicle. There's no
parking problem with base
taxi, and the driver will wait
up to five minutes while the
passenger conducts his busi-
ness"
AT present the base taxis make

housing will result in a better
rate of gain, higher feed con-
version and lower mortality
rate.
The house is almost COM
pletely automatic. The birds are
fed and watered automatically.
Fans are operated by thermo-
stats which kick In and out
when the temperature reaches
certain critical stages. The
house is lighted night and day
by a few small light bulbs.
Workers at the University Farm
indicate that practically no act
ual labor is required In man
aging the birds. "Al we do is
stop in occasionally to see that
the automatic feeders are work
ing and that nothing has gone
haywire. So far we've had very
few problems. +" The University
plans to make a complete report
on the windowless house availa-
BILE to producers as soon as the
data has been compiled.
The effects of insect damage
on crops has long been a topic
of vital interest to Delaware
farmers. Walter Connell, Uni
versity entomologist, showed
visitors to Farm and Home
Field Day some experimental
work he is conducting to det-
er1nine just how much damage
soybean plants can stand with
out suffering yield losses. In
this experiment he removed
leaves from soybean plants to
simulate insect damage. In one
plot all of the leaves were
removed while the beans we're
blooming. In other plots IA,
l/2 and 3/4 of the leaves we're
removed during the blooming
stage, a substantial loss in
yield could be expected. Sur
prisingly, though, when as many
as half of the leaves were re-
moved during this stage there
seemed to be very little eff
feet on the plants. Connell told
visitors that after the plants
had bloomed, there seemed to
be very little effect on the
plant yield even when all of
the leaves were removed. He
plans to get yield data on the
beans this fall. From this he
feels entomologists will be
better equipped to advise gro
wers on the need for using in
secticideS to combat insect out
breaks.
DR. Richard Cole, agronomist
at the University, told visit
ors to his research plots that
the problem of controlling
weeds in soybeans hasn't been
completely licked. He showed
them several plots where diff
ferent commercial weed control
chemicals had been used. Some
showed excellent results while
others we're quite disappointing
Cole is trying to establish a
weed control method that will
give excellent results with no
cultivation at a cost of less
than $40 per acre. He indicated
that he has been able to get
excellent control but the cost
thus far has been prohibitive.
In another weed control ex-
pertinent, Cole has been at
tempting to find out the eff
fects of chemical residues on
soybeans that follow corn. At
razine, a chemical that is COM
monty used on corn, can have
disastrous results on a soy
bean crop that follows the next
season. Cole has been expert :
menting at various levels and
forms of Atrazine application
to see which method can be used
safely. So far the only sure
way to tell If the beans will
be damaged is to use a fall
seeded cover crop such as bar
ley or rye. If the cover crop
is damaged, then its a good bet
the soybeans that might fol-
low would be damaged also,
he says.

MARYLAND TERRAPN
Churchill Liked Mrs. Tawes' Soup

November to spring. she
cooks up huge numbers, picks
out the meat, packs 1t In
plastic boxes and freezes it
for future use.
People are too busy these
days to go to the trouble of
making the soup from
scratch. My son and ! are
the only ones in the house
who know how TO pick out
the meat. We got these ter
rapin from Crisfield MD
and paid $500 apiece for
them. / can remember when
I was a young girl my father
used to get a dollar an inch
for terrapin. He shipped them
alive in barrels to exclusive
restaurants and hotels" she
explains.
In her booklet Mrs. Tawes
doesn't go into detail about
preparing the terrapin for
soup. It's a culinary art not
many people know and n OF
many would bother even If
they did.
Several years ago I
watched an instructor at the
University Of Maryland while
she taught q class how to
prepare this sea-food delicacy.
Briefly. this is the way I
remember the process: The
live terTapin is plunged into
boiling water and simmered
about an hour or until the
toenails may be pulled out
easily. Then the terrapin is
drained and placed on its
back to cool so the juices will
collect In the shell when the
meat, eggs and liver are re-
moved. 1t takes experience

BY VIOLET FAULKNER
Food Editor Of The Star

After the recent up
roar in the Senate din
ing room when Senator
J. Glenn Beall vented his
wrath over the quality
of the crab cakes being
served, Maryland's First Lady,
Mrs. j. Millard Tawes,
sent him her own personal
recipe for this Maryland del
icacy as everyone knows.
But crab cakes are only one
Of the many sea-food special
ties for which Mrs. Tawes Is
noted.
Sir Winston Churchill has
enjoyed some Of her famous
terrapin soup.
It all came about in this
fashion: About two years
ago Jimmy Swartz, a Balti-
more furrier, called and
asked her to do him a favor.
He wanted to send some
terrapin soup to the grand
old warrior and wanted Mrs.
Tawes to make 1t. Her first
reaction was "how do I get it
to him?"
"Well. gee whiz, If you'll
make the soup, I'll see that
he gets it," Mr.. Swartz
assured her.
Needless to say she pro-
duced the soup, packed it
carefully in ice, and Mr..
Swartz rushed 1t to Friend
ship airport for a noon flight.
Sir Winston had 1t by 9
o'clock the next morning.
Later we both had nice
notes from Mrs. Churchill
thanking us and saying how
much they had enjoyed It,"
recalls Mrs. Tawes.
She has also sent terrapin
soup to the White House,
marked with the Maryland
seal and bearing her name.
But, knowing the restric-
tions that prevail at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue in re-
gard to food contributions,
she doubts whether President
Kennedy was allowed to taste
it. The President did, how
ever, send q note to her
husband, Governor Tawes,
thanking her.
"And I don't think / ever
made a better terrapin soup
than the batch I sent to the
President" says Mrs. Tawes
who still uses the recipe
handed down from her
mother.
Keeping alive the old Mary
land food traditions has be-
come almost an obsession
with her. She feels they will
be lost and forgotten If some
thing isn't done to retain the
,-old methods. Her booklet MY
Favorite Maryland Recipes"
includes a few of the family
recipes handed down from
her grandmother's day and
are ones she uses constantly
at Government House.
Among the collection is her
method for preparing terra
pin soup.

YOU"
His strongly worded state
ment was seen as a rebuttal to
Republican charges that the ad-
ministration is ready to sacri-
flee public accommodations to
get the rest of the bill through
congress.
The Presidents brother threw
his full support behind the pro-
posal to outlaw discrimination in
hotels, theaters, restaurants and
stores, and facilities open to the
public.
The Attorney General dis
missed as a "smokescreen" the
arguments raised by some Re-
publicans and southern Demo-
Gratis that the bill will seriously
infringe on property rights. The
only right it will deny is the
right to discriminate, to embar-
rass and humiliate millions of
our citizens in the pursuits of
their daily lives, he said.
The Attorney General took
note of the proposal by Chair
man Emanuel Celler of the
House Judiciary Committee that
Congress should exclude busi-
ness establishments from cover
age if their volume of sales was
the standards for coverage in
below a certain point. He said
the administrations bill will be
plain enough in the great major
ity of cases.
Continuing his testimony on
Tuesday, the Presidents brother
urged disregard of an 1883 de-
cision of the U. S. Supreme
Court barring federal attempts
to regulate privately owned
places of accommodation. He
told the Senate Commerce Com
mittee the 1888 decision of the
Supreme Court has not been
overruled and remains the law

our Nation, she said.

"We are coming to realize
that We cannot solve the pro-
blems Of our troubled civiliza-
ton piecemeal, country by
country. We must look at the
total picture, see how the needs
of one nation affect others and
how the progress of one nation
can be used to the advantage of
all.
I'VE already see evidence of
this in the contribution which
women have made to fight the
hunger of the world. Under the
aegis of the Food and Agricul-
ture Organization, through the
World Food Congress and
through private relief agencies
women have Joined in the cru
sade against hunger and today
we can say that acquisition of
foodstuffs is no longer a mo-
tive for armed conflict as it has
been in centuries past"
"The needs and expectations
of the coming generation are

of the land. He asserted how
ever that the Supreme Court
would reach the proper decision
and render it constitutional now.
The Attorney General said he
recognized that the Court held
that Congress lacked power un-
der the Fourteenth Amendment

power is only over discrimina-

South Carolina Sen. Strom
Thurmond, who clashed with
Kennedy in two hours of ques-
ticning said the owner of the
hotel or restaurant would be in
a condition of servitude be-
cause he must serve those whom
he is directed to serve" under
the proposed Kennedy bill.
Offers Jury Trial
Kennedy said he "would be
willing" to include in the bill a
jury trial proviso similar to the
cne Congress wrote into the
1857 Civil Rights Act.
That guaranteed a trial by
jury to anyone convicted of con-
tempt if the Judge had given
him a penalty of more than As
DAYS in Jail or $500 fine.
Under Kennedy's new bill, a
Negro refused service at a busi-
ness place could seek a federal
court injunction compelling the
owner to comply. The owner,
if he defied the injunction,
would be tried by a judge on
contempt charges = without a
jury.
