Plans have been made between
County Agricultural Agent M. c.
Vaughn, M. o. Pence, State County
Agent Leader of Newark, and Thomas
r. Ingram, cashier of the Sussex
Trust Company, of this town, to make
a farm management survey in LeWes
and Rehoboth hundred, some time in
the near future. The survey will be
conducted as one of the extension
projects of the University of Delaware,
cO-Operating with the Sussex Trust
Company, and it is thought that this
survey will be a wonderful help to
the farming industry in this hundred,
especially so at this time as the Sus-
sex Trust Company is using every
effort to make farming in this district
more extensive and to help the farm
ers. if possible, to make a market for
their crops, and to get every dollar
that it is possible for them to get out
of their produce. Along this line the
Sussex Trust Company is holding
farm booster meetings about every
month in the rural districts at their
different grange halls, and it is the
idea to have practical men from the
farming districts to talk, who have &C
tually made a success Of a particular
product. The next meeting will be held
on Thursday evening, October 5th' at
Cedar Grove school house.
