B26—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 18,1983 NEWARK, Del. Agricultural engineering professor Ernest N. Scarborough will retire from the University of Delaware on June 30 after 28 years of service. Scarborough, a native of An U. of Del. ag engineer Ernest Scarborough. The Automatic Micro-Mist Concentrate Sprayer can be powered by the tractor pto for use on rowcrops, vegetables and orchards. The Automatic Micro-Mist Concentrate Sprayer is a faster, more efficient, economical alternative to conventional boom and aerial spraying of rowcrops, vegetables and orchards. It takes mist blowing techniques a step further by giving the operator the ability to control the diameter of the spray droplets and choose the diameter best for each particular spraying application. Controlling droplet diameter results in increased effectiveness and reduced materials cost. The smaller droplets of the Micro-Mister coat all sides of the target evenly, due to the powerful turbulence produced by the unit. The Micro-Mister ef fectively coats the undersides of leaves, reaches inside trees, even coats the back sides of fruit. The compact size and the utilization of chemical concentrates by the Micro- Mister offers many advantages. The unit comes in models that can be powered by PTO on small tractors, or a gasoline powered skid unit that slides into the bed of any pickup. Because the Micro-Mister eliminates the need for cumbersome water hauling equipment that requires additional manpower and time consuming stops for refilling, the Automatic Micro-Mister saves both time and money. The Automatic Micro-Mister can offer effective coverage up to 250'feet, depending on application; and can operate at speeds up to 12 m.p.n., with no dangerous overspray or drift.

He came to Delaware in 1955 after working in industry for two years and spending six years teaching at lowa State Automatic Micro-Mist Sprayer Controls Droplet Size Scarborough retiring at Del. University, North Carolina State University, and Tennessee Polytechnic Institute. When Scarborough joined the university, there was only one other agricultural engineer on the staff, and no separate department of agricultural engineering. He was asked to head the agricultural engineering section of the com bined department of agronomy and agricultural engineering. In those days he did a little of everything: extension farm visits, teaching, and research on am monia in broiler houses, irrigation, and crop drying. He was involved in the university’s earliest Sea Grant project, a joint effort bet ween agricultural engineering and marine biology to produce oysters in a controlled environment. In 1957 the College of SADDLE UP! To Better Equipment...

In 1968, agricultural engineering became a separate university department. As department chairperson for the first 13 years, Scarborough developed the curriculum to keep pace with the changing needs of local industry. Preparing students for the working world was always his primary consideration, and a continual source of personal satisfaction. Over the years he has taught 14 of the 18 agricultural engineering courses listed in the current catalog, including soil con servation, electricity, hydraulics, RUFUS BRUBAKER REFRIGERATION 614 Penryn Rd.

The students of the College of Agricultural Sciences voted him outstanding teacher for the 1976-77 academic year. Many former students continue to keep in touch with him by letter or occasional visits. Scarborough and his wife, Miriam, have four grown children. They have no definite plans for retirement, but will continue to live in their Newark home.
