German Thanks
BY Sion Drake
BY Wolf Kelly
By the Associated Press

President Kennedy has ac-
knowledged with deep apprecia-
ton the thanks Of the German
people for American relief ship
ments for the past II years.
"The assistance that was
given reflects the desire Of the
American people to help others
in time Of need" he said in a
letter yesterday. I'VE all take
great satisfaction today in see
ing a rehabilitated Western
Europe now able to join with
US in this purpose"
The Presidents letter, made
public by the White House, was
addressed to the Rt. Rev. Msgr.
Tn. Holling, Bremen, Germany.
Monsignor Holling and six
others wrote the President last
December as representatives OF
welfare agencies in the German
Central Committee for the Dis
tribution Of Foreign Relief.
They noted that 1862 marked
the end Of shipments Of Ameri-
can relief to Germany and ex-
pressed gratitude for the help
over a period Of II years.

Broke Unwritten Code
Nobody was hurt, but this
broke the unwritten code of

Blossomtime, advises the Del.

While the blooming season
varies somewhat from year to

ditions, late April and early May
generally find Delawars's gar
dens, orchards, yards, fields
and woods ablaze with breath
taking color.
Mans efforts, combined with
those Of Mother Nature, have
produced such attractions as:
the Spring Flowers and Azalea

miles northwest Of Wilmington.
which are open from April z
through June 80, this year; the
two dozen Wilmington Area gar
dens that are open to the public
on Wilmington Garden Day, May
a; the gardens Of Dover, always
at their best on "Old Dover
Days." the first weekend in
May; and the well-kept yards
and gardens of historic New
Castle, open to the public on
ga Day in Old New Castle"
traditionally observed on the
third Saturday in May.
While Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties no longer offer the orchard
acreage, that once produced, In
abundance, the famed Delaware
Peach and gave the State its
official "flower" the Peach
Blossom, there are still quite a
few we'll kept orchards, which
are abloom in the Spring. Those

Farmers are losing thousands
Of dollars by planting seed Of
unknown quality and per-
formance, according to Assoc.
County Agent Ed Ralph.
Seed surveys made In various
states by vocational agricultural
teachers, county agents, seed
control officials, crop improve
ment association stats and
others have shown that farmers
often lose money by trying to
save money through using their
own seed, unadapted varieties
and hybrids, or untested seed.
In our own state, a soybean
survey revealed that less than
60% of the fields visited were
planted to recommended va
rieties In 1862. In two thirds
Of the fields visited, mixtures
Of two or three varieties we're
found. Often the maturity dates
OF these varieties were quite
different resulting In needless
losses.
It has definitely been shown
through yield comparisons that
net profit would be increased
II certified seed were used.
Ralph says it's impossible to
predict seed performance by
looking at 1t. Planting just seed,
therefore, is gamble.
Certified seed must be true
to variety. It must equal or ex-
ceed the prescribed require
ments for termination, varietal
purity, adaptation and freedom
from weed seed. All tests are
made by federal or state. labora-
tories and employees.
To be eligible for certifica-
tion a variety or hybrid must
have proved high performance
in It's recommended area. Com
plete information Of recon-
msnded, certified seed varieties
and hybrids can be obtained by
contracting Ralph at the George
town Extension office. His phone
number is 856-2553.
We do not claim that certified
seed is the complete answer or
one hundred percent fool-proof,
but 1t is one of the tools we
have In working toward higher
yields, Ralph concluded.

safety program is one Of the
best and most complete In the

The largest reduction in the
family safety figures occurred
in deaths from falls at home.
There was only one in the first
quarter Of this year as COM
pared with eleven in the same
three months last year a re-
duction OF ten. This is largely

sense in the use Of precautions
at home. These include care In
the placement Of rugs, proper
lighting, use Of handrails, par
ticularly when older people are
involved, and keeping loose OBJ
jects, such as toys, of the
stairs. Most Of the persons
killed in falls at home are under
four or over sixty-five years Of
age.
Six persons lost their lives in
homes in the first quarter last
year, and other causes ac-
counted for two others.
