Rosalin d Whitney, meZzo-
soprano, presented a recital last
night at Mclean Arts Center at
preparation for a formal perfOr
nance at her senior recital at
Oberlin, in a few weeks. She
was accompanied by another
oberlin senior, Richard ].
Bunger, who also played a
Chopin group and was the COM
poser Of two bright modern
settings Of poems by e. e. cum
mings that formed part Of the
last group on the program.
II was an excellent program.
The music was well chosen,
although spread out a bit In
languages and styles. Miss
Whitney has a good voice that
should continue to improve for
about the next 10 years. She has
been well taught, sings freely
and effortlesSly throughout her
range, and with experience
should develop the added sonor-
ity she will need for a career.
She was at her best in the
Schumann. The song, Mond-
nacht, for example, was sung
with rare maturity and artistic
awareness. She caught the
contrasting moods Of In der
Fremde and Fruehlingsnacht to
perfection. It Is unusual In one
so young to be able to suggest
more than she says in heder
singing.
Mr.. Bunger, hampered as he
was by an unruly relic Of a
piano, showed himself to be an
excellent and sensitive accom-
pianist, and gave a good account
Of the two Chopin pieces. His
songs show a real feel for the
shape Of the language, and a
certain amount Of imagination
in structure. He has not yet
found q style of his own, but he
will.

Christmas is not the princi-
pal feast Of the Christian reh-
gions-Easter, with its message
Of redemption fulfilled, is that
but it Is the feast richest In
emotional warmth and tenderly
human implications. Yesterday,
the Sunday within the octave
Of Christmas, found Paul Call
away leading his choir Of %
men and % boys In u choral
evensong service Of anthems
and carols at Washington Cathe-
dral.
Out Of the vast literature Of
sacred and secular music writ
ten for the season he selected
a thoughtful list Of IL numbers.
The composers and arrangers
formed a kind Of international
gallery, with the British pre-
dominant, five Of the entries
being of that land. But there
was the Renaissance Dutch
man, Sweelinck. the contem-
porary German, Max Roger,
and his 18th century predeces-
sor, Handl, the Canadian or
ganist and composer, Healey
Willen, and the old and contem-
porary American composers,
william Billings and Richard
Dirksen.
Through this list the Cathe-
dral choir moved with accus-
toned ease and professional
smoothness, achieving warm
clarity when singing a cappella,
sometimes a little overborne
except for the treble voices
when the stentorian voice Of

the great organ pushed them a
little in the accompaniment.
The carol literature is full Of
pitfalls for the mwary, offering
music that ranged from bad to
good, from gay to drear, from
pathetic to pathetic. from pro
found to silly. Through 1t Mr..
Galloway moved with unerring
taste. Right up to the very end,
when a miserable little affair
that has been grated onto the

way to conclude an exceptional

LEAN RED MEAT is becom-
ing more important to the lamb
producers since fat lambs
are not helping to build future
markets. Competition In this
area is strong and therefore
the lamb feeder must be quality
minded In his production.
The difficulty Is that produc- :
ers have a tendency to strive
for the heavier carcass since
1t appears to be more econo-
mical. For example, studies
reveal that slaughter charges
for l50-pound lamb. We re-
mind producers not to be per-
suaded by the studies. Quality
is more important than weight
and will be more profitable.
Producers should setup goals
toward production of high quail
ity lambs. The three-inch loin
eye, heavier carcasses that
keep quality without being over
finished, little external fat and
faster production are ideal
goals which the producer may
consider.
Production testing, selection
and breeding, along with re-
search, should help produce
lambs that retain quality In
heavier carcasses and grow
faster and more economically.

during vacation time the cat Is
left with a neighbor or vet

the fleas to 60 except to hop
around the house. When you
return, they hop on you and
begin biting.
The average person would
wonder where all the fleas are
coming from since the cat was
out of the house during the fam
ily's absence. They come from
eggs that we're laid by the
previous generation of heas
while on the cat. The eggs
fall TO the floor in large num-
.bers, most of them In the cats
favorite sleeping spot. These
eggs hatch In a few days pro-
ducing tiny white larvae. They
feed on the dirt that normally
occurs on the floor. They car
live on the dny amount of dirt
that accumulates In floor cracks
or under the quarter round
trim. If the cats bedding ISM
cleaned frequently they can de-
velop there by the dozens. G
about a week the larvae change
to pupae. These emerge as a

Look for signs of steaming, ir-
ritating odors, wet areas. Sus-
pected ignition can be discover
ed by lowering thermometer
into pipe driven deep into the
hay. Leave 1t in the pipe for
Is minutes. If the mercury
climbs to l58 degrees, keep a
careful watch. lift climbs above
l85, stop all ventilation and
start moving all hot hay out
doors; above 2l2, call the fire
department. The heating areas
should be wet down with water
and provision should be made
for fighting possible fire. as
the hay may burst into flames
when uncovered or exposed to
air.
Spontaneous ignition can oc-
cur elsewhere on the farm.
Large piles of manure heat
spontaneously and should never
be left In stables or piled
against buildings. Old rags,
soaked In paints or vegetable
oils, also tend to heat up. Such
rags should never be allowed tc

Bank Dividend
To Be Declared

Mr.. o. H. P. Baldwin, Chair
man of the Board, announced
today that the General Board of
the Farmers Bank of the State of
Delaware is recommending to
the stockholders an amendment
to the charter of the bank in
creasing the authorized capital
from $50, 1000 shares to 450, 900
shares. If approved by the
stockholders, the Board of Bank
Incorporation, and the State
Bank Commission, the bank will
declare a 200% stock dividend,
distributing an additional two
shares for each one share held
by present stockholders. The
Board also announced its in
tenuon of declaring a dividend
of 35f per share for the last
quarter of the current year
which would place the new stock
on $l.40 annual dividend basis.
This will represent an increase
OF 2Of per share on the old stock.
MIR. Baldwin said that this is
the first stock dividend that has
been paid In the history of the
States oldest banking instiut-
ion. Incorporated In 1907 with a
total capital stock issue of
$500, 600, the banks total
capital stock remained at $780,
600 from 1900 until 1859 when
l6,250 shares were issued in
connection with the merger with
three banks In Sussex County.
Over the years the bank has built
up large surplus and undivided
profits account, but the capital
In recent years has remained
at $58l, $50. The effect of the
proposed stock dividend will be
to increase the capital stock
outstanding to 81. 743, $50. '.sl
MIR. Baldwin also indicated
that the increased number of
shares outstanding with the
public should permit the devel-
opment of a better market for
the stock, and it is hoped, wider
interest In the stock by the
public.

for nearly year without any
food. Even If your vacation
lasts a long time, there are
apt to be heas waiting to well
come you home.
Fortunately. the cat flea can
not reproduce unless a dog or
car Is around TO feed on. Al
though they bir us, they can't
seem TO stomach our blood.
AS a result each one common
ly makes TWO or three bites
In a row on humans trying TO
find a better source of blood.
If you suspect feas might
develop in your home while
you're on vacation, spreadnaph-
thalene flakes about the floor
at the rate of one pound per
10 square feet. To avoid a
mess when Ii comes to clean
ing up the flakes. IT'S a good
idea to place the flakes on
newspapers. Have a friend pick
up the flakes and afr your home
a couple of days before you
return. If that doesn't kill all
the heas, spray infested rooms
with a liquid formulation of DDT.
Be careful what kind of flea
powder you put on cats. Cats
are easily killed by some IN
secticides which are saIe on
dogs. There are only TWO which
should be used on cats, rotten
one or SEWN. SEWN is also
known as carbaryl. Some COM
panies that package 1t for cats
don't use the name SEWN. If
the active ingredients list con-
tains the words naphthyl methyl
carbamate, it's SEWN. On dogs
use DDT or SEWN. To destroy
heas In the pets sleeping quar-
tiers use DDT, malathion, or Sc
win.
To keep the neighbor's cat
from sleeping near your home
where 1t could cause an out
door splurge of fleas, get big
dog.

Store Hay Carefully
to Prevent Barn Fires

BARN FIRES CAN BE PRE-
VENTED: AS State Fire Mar
shal 1t is my belief that, "the
loss of valuable properly In the
form of rural barns can de-
finitely be reduced If not ell
minated. There are conditions
surrounding such structures,
which we realize tend to create
a difficult problem regarding
safety, but with proper pre-
cautions it is highly probable
that losses to livestock and
property can be reduced" "says
William R. Favinger.
1t is further appreciated that
this time of year hay is being
cut, baled and stored. Further,
it is known that heat is gen
Grated during the drying pro-
cess or curing. This is the
period when special precautions
are necessary. Modern barns
are erected much lighter than
the old type, with metal and
masonry being used In ever
increasing quantities.. This adds
to the ventilation problem and
means greater attention must
be given to the critical period.
The following recommended
procedure can almost guarantee
elimination of spontaneous
heating with other normal safety
precaudon also being taken,
such as proper electrical in
stallation; elimination of smok-
ing within such structures;
avoid placing motorized equip
ment within the same structure

lection. With all other possible
causes eliminated the follow

reduce, If not eliminate such
unnecessary losses to barns.
SPONTANEOUS IGNITION
OF HAY: Many barn fires are
attributed to spontaneous igni-
ton of hay. Hay that is not
well dried tends to heat up
by itself. Hay that has become
wet In the field or In the barn
from a leaky roof will heat

Alfalfa Crop
Shows Notable
Increase

Alfalfa acreage in Delaware
is on the increase, according
to DR.. William H. Mitchell, ex-
tension agronomist at the Uni
versity of Delaware.
A survey of wholesale seed
houses showed that $4,000
pounds of alfalfa seed was sold
to dealers or direct to farmers
In 1862. This is enough seed
for 1000 acres of alfalfa, or
about one-third of the total In
the state. Since the average
stand lasts about five years, the
trend for alfalfa acreage is
clearly upward, he said.
DuPuits was the leading var
iety, accounting for 49, 8.7percent
of the total seed. The old stand
by, Buffalo, was second at lo.9
percent followed by Williams
burg, 1876 percent and Vernal
1917 percent.
The DuPuits variety Is Wig
orous and high yielding but it
can't be counted on to last more
than three years, according to
DR.. Mitchell. For this reason
many growers are showing more
interest in Williamsburg, a var :
iety which is well adapted to
Delaware conditions and more
persistant than DuPuits.
Vernal and Buffalo are both
wilt resistant varieties. Vernal
does well In Northern New Cas-
tie County and Buffalo is suit
able throughout the state. These
varieties have been passed over
in the past few years for the
higher yielding DuPuits, DR..
Mitchell reported. This decis-
ion was based on the fact that
bacterial wilt is not commonly
found In Delaware alfalfa.
DR.. Mitchell urged growers
to order their alfalfa seed well
in advance of planting time In
order to be sure of having one
of the best varieties.
Next to corn silage, alfalfa
is the most productive live
stock feed grown In Delaware,
he pointed off.

WHAT TO Do NOW IN THE
GARDEN : Separate perennials
If you did not do this last
month. Make sure the trans
planted plants are kept well
watered and shade them for a
few days.
Now is the time to figure
out where you need another tree
to shade the roof of your house,
the windows or your patio. You
can get a good idea of where
to place the tree now. To
figure out where the shade will
be, take a pole and note the
length OF the shadow 1t casts
on the house. BY comparing the
length of the pole and the shadow
1t casts with the average height
of tree you are contemplating
planting, the best location can
be figured out. This is the time
of year to do this, as the angle
of the suns rays differ In winter
and summer. Carefully locate
the tree on a plan SO you will
know where to plant 1t next
spring.
You can dry roses for win
ter use now. A finely ground
form of silica gel is avail
able now for drying flowers.
On a hot. dly day tand we
have plenty now, go out and
pick your best half-opened ro-
ses. Place In shoe box or
similar container and bury the
flower completely with silica
gel. This retains their color and
