Increasing
Number of
Veterinarians
Needed

BY 1880 this country will
need twice as many veterinar-
ians as it has today, and this
is likely to hold true for the
state of Delaware as we'll, ac-
cording TO DR.. Morris Cover,
director of the Agricultural EX-
pertinent Station and chairman
of the department of animal and
poultry science at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
The greatest needs in the flu
uure will be for veterinarians
to fill increased demands that
all meat be inspected before it
is sold and for specialists in
the treatment of small animals,
DR.. Cover said. Veterinarians
will also be needed in govern
mental and private research or
ganizations in basic medical
research, In seeking new ways
to combat animal diseases and
in working in the field of space
travel
At present, Delaware has
about so veterina rians, but as
the states population increas-
es, a greater number will be
needed TO treat the cats, dogs
and other animals these fami-
lies have as pets, DR.. Cover
explained.
In some areas, not even the
present needs for veterinarians
are being met, he said. Even
with the number of students now
taking veterinary medicine,
more are needed.
Atthe University of Delaware,
many of the students In the de-
parment of animal and poul-
try science are taking the pre-
veterinary course. After COM
pleting this course, they Will
have to 60 on for four addi-
tional years at a school of We
terinary medicine. A minimum
of six years of college and
professional study is neces-
sary, although most veterinar-
ians study for eight years, DR..
Cover pointed out.
Along with the need for more
veterinarians is the need for
more faculty members to teach
them. The need for additional
staff for research and teach
ing is evident now and will be-
come an even more pressing
problem In the years ahead, DR..
Cover said.

Clifton Murray
Named Della.
'Soybean King

Clifton Murray of Selbyville
was named Delaware "soybean
king" at the 55th annual Della :
ware Crop Show Tuesday (No-
Vember 10y in Dover.
His top soybean yield was
AZ. 2 bushels per acre from one
field, making him state cham
pion as we'll as top producer
in Sussex county.
Harold Hilyard Of Dover was
top Kent county soybean pro-
ducer with 47.8 bushels per
acre.
A total of nine Delaware far
mers with Is entries rated
membership In the 40 Bushel
Soybean Club" composed of
producers whose soybeans
yielded 40 or more bushels per
acre this year.
OF these IS high yielding
fields, Murray produced nine
Of them, ranging from his 49,
bushels TO 43.4 bushels per
acre.
Other outstanding yields in
Sussex county we're raised bV
Cashar Evans of Selbyville, 45.6
bushels; Clifton Seely, Green :

Townsend and Son, Frankford,
400 bushels.
Top Kent county producers

Garrison, Dover, 40.6.
These yields show the results
Of good farming practices, ac-
cordtng toDr William Mitchell,
extension agronomist at the
University Of Delaware. Aver
age yield this year throughout
the state probably won't be more
than 20 bushels per acre, he
said.

THE FARMERS IN A BUSI-
NESS SUIT was the title Of
book issued few years ago. As
| write this, I'm facing 100 young
farmers in business suits on a
stage. The occasion is the
annual meeting OF Southern
States Cooperative at Rich
mond, Virginia.
]. Donald Issacs of Middle
town, as the National Jay Gee
Young Farmer of the Year,
stands before them. He is add
ressing 1900 directors and
board members Of the Coopera-
tive on the future of agriculture
for young farmers.
He reminds us that this is an
age of revolution for farmers
The US. farm plant investment
is S2l6 billion the largest of
any industry. Farm productivity
has doubled since l940. Young
farmers need better formal
training than ever before. Co
operatives can play part in
easing the transitions. Every
thing is reaching toward a
larger scale, so much SO that
the farmers needs a full pro-
gram of financing with his
banker to manage his interests.
Many Of our farmers re-
member "Billy Steele, general
manager for Southern States,
who formerly worked ex-
tensively on Del-Mar-Va. He
reminded the delegates that the
cooperative is much concerned
with the human side of their
business, typified most recently
by the feed program in drouth
disaster areas. Too, the CO.
operative is aware of en-
croaching interurbia, which
gobbles up farm land. Urban
growth poses problems that call
for changes in services.
Truly, farm cooperatives
have been the pace settlers for
agriculture. one leaves a meet
ing such as this feeling thar they
will continue TO do SO long as
farmers wholeheartedly sup
port them.
