Field Day
sickERlant
Clinic

A "Sick Plant Clinic" will
be one of the highlights of the
annual Farm and Home Field
Day on Wednesday, August 7,
at the University of Delaware's
Georgetown Substaion.
Visitors may bring problem
specimens of house, garden and
field plants to a panel of ex-
perts who will give suggestions
on causes and cures. Univer-
sity of Delaware specialists
In entomology, plant pathology,
agronomy and horticulture will
be on hand with microscopes
and other equipment to identify
insect, disease and other dam
age to plants.
The Sick Plant Clinic was
held last year for the first
time at Farm Field Day, and
more than 20 plant specimens
were diagnosed. Facilities are
being enlarged this year so
that more plants may be OBJ
served.
Among the problems dag
nosed last year we're mite con-
troll for lima beans, soil de-
ficiencies, control of Johnson
grass. black spot on roses and
diseases on various other orna-
mental plants.
Along with the Sick Plant
Clinic, there will be a display
of plants showing various types
of insect damage, as well as
a display of insects on which
visitors may test their recog-
nition ability. Free publications
on plant problems will be a.
vailable.
Another Farm and Home Field
Day feature will be tours of
some 30 experimental vegeta-
BILE, fruit and field crop plots
and poultry research work un-
der way at the Substation. A.
mong the operations which will
be seen are plots showing the
use of pesicides for control
of weeds, insects and diseases.
A newly designed window less
broiler house will also be open
to visitors. Buses will be on
hand to take visitors through
the Substanon grounds, and u
ntversity and Substation per-
sonnel will be available to an
swer questions.
Two Civil Defense exhibits
will show models of fallout
shelters, along with suggestions
on shelter supplies, radiation
detection equipment and other
emergency preparedness e.
quipment.
An outdoor luncheon will be
held at noon, with brief pro-
gram to follow. Morning and af-
ternoon programs for home
makers are also planned.

director, is chairman of Farm

antly urban.
Obviously, wheat legislation
cannot be passed without strong
Congressional support. Every
farm bill has hard going. In the
last TWO sessions, the vote on the
feed grain legislation has al
ways been close, despite the
acknowledged success of that
program.
We are now and will continue
to listen carefully as to whether
there is a desire among wheat
farmers for new legislation.
AS to the nature of possible
legislation. you will recall that
the President In a press con-
ference on the day following the
referendum said that "Any plan
that offered us hope of re-
ducing the surpluses, of main
tanning the farmers income,
and was not excessive In cost,
we will certainly listen to-"
The President said further he
thought cit would be difficult
to get a bill by the Congress.
AS you recall the bill which led
TO the referendum was very
close. There is no indication
that there is a consensus on
agricultural matters In the Con-
gress between the House and the
Senate.
In view of all these factors,
the Department will continue to
apply the standards 1t has con-
sistently followed In farm legis-
lation: AS the President indi-
Gated, We seek to strengthen
farm income, cut surpluses and
reduce excessive costs. These
standards are valid. Legisla-
uon will be measured by them.
AS the President said, we will
certainly listen to any plan
meeting these requirements.
And, when and If we do hear
from the farmer, we will listen
very carefully.

Wheat Legislation Needs
= Congressional Support

Statement by Secretary of Ag-
rtculure Orville L. Freeman
at a Press Conference, June 26,
1868.
A number of questions have
been raised In the press and by
farm commentators as to the
position of the Secretary flag
riculmre on new wheat legisla-
uon.
The first question to be resol-
we'd Is: What do farmers want7
In this case, there are very real
doubts as to whether any con-
sensus actually exists. The re-
ferendum not only failed of a
rwo-thirds vote, bur fell short
of a majority. Most of the big
wheat states voted short of the
necessary thirds.
Based on my mail and the dis
Gus sions I've had with wheat
farmers and with farm organi-
rational leaders, | see little ev-
idence that the wheat farmers
desire new wheat program.
Editorial opinion within the
wheat areas is sharply divided.
Polls made since the re-
ferendum indicate a similar
division among farmers.
These feelings are reflected
In the current attitude of the
Congress. We are In constant
contact with the Congress, and 1t
is my judgment, based on their
comments, that 1t would be i'm
possible to pass any kind
of wheat Legislation. City Con-
gressmen, In particular, have
made 1t sharply clear to me
that they are not about to vote
for wheat Legislation - and we
live today with the fact that over
300 Congressional districts are
now considered to bepredomin-

LOOK CAREFULLY the next
time you go into a garden sup
ply store or center. You will
be amazed at the amount and
variety of goods offered for
sale.
1t kind of reminds me of the
man who walked into a store
and picked up few pockets
of seed. Then he passed the
hand tool display, the inseci-
cides and fungicides, the weed
killers, the plant food includ-
ing hormone treatments, and
finally, In resignation - he
put back the seeds.
But your garden store offers
something else = service. The
salesman has learned and is
continually picking up infor-
nation about his products. He
has a field representative who
visits him regularly to help him
understand these products.
Ed Hall, of Dover, probably
best known for his Lions Club
work, Is one such local sales
man for a local store. He
brought George Runge Jr. into
my office for a conference on
lawn questions. George was a
former county agent who now
works for a national seed COM
pany In New Jersey and Della
ware. He sells nothing directly.
But he helps Ed answer his
customers questions. In effect
he is still specialized county
agent and I'm glad to see him
come In.
George was telling me about
some of his demonstration
plots. One he seeded into pure
crab grass. He said the seed
cost $3.50 per pound, and was
cheap at that price. 1t seems
that crab grass seed Is small,
light In weight, and hard to
clean up properly.

"IT's MY PICNIC TIME",
said Joseph E. Ennis of Smyr-
ma, as he made the dairy tour
with about eighty other Della
ware farmers to Kent County,
Maryland recently.
This pretty well states the
opinion of many people who
milk COWS twice a day. The
small grain harvest is out of
the way, everything is planted,
and the only other urgent job
is culuvating for some. Tho.

INSPECTION PLUS COR
RECTION equals protection. I"
An accident or emergency
can happen any time. The sad
thing is that most deaths and
injuries could have been pre-
vented If only the people in
volved had thought ahead and
taken a few simpleprecautions.
This goes for all sorts of
emergencies - falls, burns,
poisonings. electrical acci-
dents, and natural or nuclear
disaster. Disasters of any sort
provide all the usual hazards
and add a few of their own.
This would be especially true
In case of an enemy attack
on this country.
Since no one can predict when,
where, or even If, disaster will
strike, the only protection is
to be prepared for all possi-
biliies. Find the safest place
In or around your home, add
as much extra protection as
you can, and stockpile it with
enough food, water and other
supplies to last at least TWO
weeks.
Storage cellars for root vege-
tables and other produce give
excellent shelter against wind
storms and radioactive fallout.
If you have bulk feed bin In
your barn, the area under or
beside it may offer relatively
high protection.
Farm Safety Week is re-
minder to be prepared for
emergencies of all kinds.

DID YOU KNOW that Della
ware was the first state In the
Northeastern United States to
place all its DEiIA records on
machine calculations7
The calculations are made
at Cornell University In New
York which handles records
from some 400, 900 dairy cows.
A news item from Cornell
this past week indicated that
the last 325 DHIA herds In that
state, doing hand calculations,
are now converting to the
system that Delaware went on
four years ago.
The machine system can ar
rive at detailed conclusions In
short order. If a farmer has
70 cows, the machine will take
about 20 seconds to calculate
the daily and monthly milk and
butterfat production, values of
the milk In dollars, income
over feed costs, grain fed,
breeding dates, and day of calv-
ing, alesg with other useful
information.
That's tightening fast work.

WATER IS ONE of the five
required nutrients for beef cat
tie; yet it is often overlooked.
University of Delaware ex-
tension livestock specialist,
John Shropshire reports that the
amount of water beef cattle
drink depends on these three
things: the type of feed, the
amount of water already in the
feed and the temperature.
Animals feeding on dry
roughage along with supplement
are thirsuer than If they were
eating feeds with a higher per-
centage of water, such as sill
age or haylage. And cattle gain
less If they don't have enough
water.
The hotter it is, the more
cattle drink. For example. in
May yearling steer drinks
about 20 pounds (9 gallons)
of water a day.
Smyrna times., 1963-07-11

come to think of 1t. much of
the corn is already '1aid by"
or was never cultivated be-
cause of chemical weed con-
trolls. The dairy farmer is like
the posman who takes a walk
on his vacation. He likes to see
what other dairy farmers are
doing.
One group looked at free
stalls for loose housing, fine
pedigreed stock, and methods
of reducing manual labor.
A second dairy tour is set
for August 18th and 18th to
west Maryland and central
Pennsylvania. The group will
travel by bus, and we are TAX
ing reservations. Call 736-l448

IT'S THE MAN In manage
ment that makes the difference
between success or failure.
This is a favorite expression
of w. T. McAllister, our farm
management specialist at the
University of Delaware.
spent all of Wednesday talk
ing with just three people about
management questions In depth.
Most farm problems must be
resolved with the man In mind.
For example, a farm owner
wanted to increase his farm
income by adding more cows.
He has a good tanant, but 1t
had never occurred to him to
ask the tenant about enlarging
the operation.
This is the main reason why
we will continue to see many
kinds and sizes of farm oper-
adons. The farmer is first of
all an individual who reserves
his own right to make decis-
ions.

Opening lead: -Four of spades.
We will not be singing songs,
mark you, about the opening
lead. At both tables of the
match West led the four of
spades.
The first declarer was after
taking the club finesse, and the
king of clubs in the West hand
all the time. West took the club
king and led back a diamond.
and now the defenders could be
taking a diamond trick when
ever South gave them a heart.
Och! Down one, for they did
be taking a club, a heart and a
diamond.
Himself Makes Contract
Now I'm wanting to tell you
how it was at the second table,
and E. D. Barry playing the
South cards. Himself won the
first trick in dummy with the
ace of spades, and next the
broth of a lad led a club to
the ace. Divil a bit of a fir1esse
in clubs.
Barry ducked a heart to
East's 10, won the diamond re-
turn with the ace, led a heart
to the ace, and ruffed a heart.
Then Barry got to dummy by
ruffing a spade and led an es-
tablished heart to get rid of the
losing diamond.
Our broth of a lad lost only
one trump trick and one heart.
Barry's plan was better than
a simple club finesse. First, the
club king might drop under the
ace. Second, setting up the
hearts would almost surely
work if East had the king of
clubs; so that refusing the club
finesse would cost nothing.
Third, playing for the hearts
would work even if West had
the king of clubs and the dou-
bleton K-Q of hearts or, any
three or four hearts.
A credit to the ould sod is
this lad Barry.

1nOnlaS rInan, recently ao-
vised the Maryland Racing
Commission that it has the
power to transfer half-mile
dates to a mile track. This
means that Bel Airs IL days
could be run at Laurel, al
though it would provide only
half as many days as were orig
inally planned for the unprec-
edented 24-day summer meet
ing at Laurel.
However, Laurel and Pimlico
officials, who are staging the
Joint 24-day meeting at Laurel,
consider the possibility of the
session being reduced to IL days
very remote. They believe that
the court will dismiss the suit
demanding the referendum.
The extra SO days the Mary
land mile tracks acquired this
year through the passage of the
new racing bill were obtained
by switching Bel Airs IL days
and Baltimore Raceway's "a
nights of harness racing to the
major thoroughbred tracks.
Apparently the commission
does not have the legal power
to transfer harness dates to a
thoroughbred track on an
emergency basis, which is pos
sible with dates assigned to
one Of the States thoroughbred
tracks.
