Farm Survey Reported

Az interesting report OF the survey
made several weeks ago of 60 farms
in lower New Castle county, compris-
ing what is called the "Middletown
Area, by County Agricultural Agent
Levi H Cooch, with the assistance OF
Messrs. Brown and Reyes from the
United States Department Of Agrl-
Gu ture. has Just been submitted by
Mr.. Cooch to the government and the
Delaware College Experiment Station.
The survey was made to ascertain
facts relative to farm and tenant la
Dor, incomes and many details OF
value to the farmers of the State are
contained in the report.
On most of the 60 farms the report
says, the quality of the COWS Is lnfer-
ior. the average receipts per COW be-
ing only Sol; niEe of the best farms
showed the average receipts per cattle
unit of SS3, while only two could show
receipts of 500 per cattle unit. with
improved stock, or at least a pure
bred bull. a si.o and five or ten acres
of alfalfa, the farmers of lower New
Castle county could increase their
farm labor incomes very materially.
Although opinions differ, the rec
ords taken in southern New Castle
county indicate that wide diversity
OF enterprises, with from two to four
main sources of income, is more profit
able than specialized farming.
With an average labor income of
SLIP and landlords making an aver
aye Of per cent on their land invest
ment. the records show the "Middle-
town Area" of New Castle county to
be one of the best agricultural sec
tons of the country. Both landlords
and tenants are well repaid for their
labor and capital invested.

Small Debtors

Every man in commercial life knows
the annoyance Of entering into litlga-
ton over debts so small that the costs
and attorney fees amount to more
than the sum involved. Yet the ag-
gregate Of such small accounts may
spell the difference between prosper
ity ard ruin, so that it is sometimes
necessary to take extreme measures
when collectors and pressing invita-
tons to remit fail to produce results.
1t would seem, however. that such
measures are more valuable as setting
examples than as adequate compensa-
ton for the time and worry and eX-
pense occasioned by suit.
The State of Kansas has solved this
problem very effectively by the estab-
lishment of what is known as 1.-THE
Small Debtors Court" which was
created by the legislature in 1912, and
has done excellent work since then
The city of Topeka has one such court,
presided over by Judge w. H. kemper.
