—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 24; 1970 106 Fall nematode survey underway on Delmarva GEORGETOWN, Del. - Delmarva com and soybean fields are once again being surveyed this fall for the presence of nematodes. This is the second year for the survey, which is being sponsored by the Mobile Chemical Company in cooperation with the ex tension services of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. This fall the survey has been expanded to include all of Kent and Sussex counties m Delaware, as well as most of the rest of the Delmarva peninsula. Now that the harvest season is drawing to a close, farmers should have more time to get out and sample their fields for nematodes. University of Delaware extension plant pathologist Bob Mulrooney urges all Delaware farmers in the survey area to participate, since the kind of nematodes being found affect both crops. There’s no fee and you can sample any fields you want to. As a result of last year’s survey, heavy nematode populations were found in a number of fields and control HENRY K. FISHER, INC.

Because of the high cost of chemicals involved in treating for nematodes, before applying any controls growers need to find out whether populations are high enough to warrant treatment. The only way to know this is to survey suspected fields. And fall is the best tune to collect samples. Sampling procedures for nematodes differ from those for soil fertility in density of samples collected per acre, so for accurate results check with your county agent for instructions on how to collect samples. The way soil is handled after collection will also affect accuracy of results. Nematodes sampling kits and record sheets are available free from ex tension offices in par ticipating counties, as web as from many area fertihzei salesmen. Farmers are urged to get their samples taken by the 16th of December. Over the years, I wonder how many families’ wash days are governed by gym clothes which must be laundered and pressed for a particular day at school. When I had five children in the public schools at one time, the mornings were often quite rushed as shorts and gym shorts had to be ironed as they were forgotten the night before and, there was an “in spection” due. Nowadays, the fabrics are knits or permanent-press and require less care. Why must laundry be done on a Monday? We are still tied to a certain amount of tradition.

Slowly we accept these changes but recently, when I heard about a special “Costume Day” at school, I found myself rather shocked and a bit upset by the report that boys wore dresses, panty hose and eye shadow to their classes. Yet, in decades to come, why couldn’t this too be accepted if it came about gradually? Although I admit. I’m still hard-pressed to tolerate a young man with shoulder length curls.

Then, on Sunday morning, the whole family went to church. Now, the family is more fragmented as one comes home after midnight from band competition at Hershey or another has been at a late party and so another tradition is broken.
