MAKES A STUDY
OF KENT FARMS
Russell E. Wilson, County
Agent, Studies Cost of Pro-
ducing Major Crops
SMYRNA FARMERS AID

In order to be of the greatest as
slstance possible to the farmers in
Kent county in helping them to ad-
just their farming operations and
to make a more careful analysis
Of their business during this period
Of agricultural depression, County
Agent Russell E. Wilson is con
Quoting a study of the cost of pro-
ducing some of the major crops in
this section of the State, and some
very interesting information is be-
ing secured in this survey. In 1882
cost Of production records in re-
gard to corn and tomatoes were
obtained on ten farms for each of
these crops, and this year similar
records will be secured on these
same farms with possibly an addi-
tlonal number so that comparisons
may be made for a period longer
than one year. In addition to corn
and tomatoes, this phase of agri-
cultural economics for 1888 will be
extended to include one of the fruit
crops in the county. This subject
has been discussed with several
fruit growers, and they have indi-
Gated that they will be interested
in having a cost Of production and
business analysis survey conduct
ed on their farms. The farmers in
Kent county who cooperated with
the county agent in the cost of pro-
duction studies on corn and toma-
toes last year include Howard Q.
Deakyne, Dudley Crossley, Jacob
E. Crossley, Howard Jones, M. z.
Moffett, Edward J. Ennis, "a O.
Darrah, r. l.. Lloyd and Clifford
Clark in the Smyrna, Clayton and
Kenton areas, Frank Coverdale
near FELTON,, and Dewey Sapp and
Edgar Vinyard in the Houston sec
tion. Before any definite informa-
tion is released in regard to the
results Of these cost of production
however, it will be neces-
sary that more records be secured
on these respective crops, and a
NOR thorough analysis made con-
cerning the various factors which
influence the cost of growing these
crops in this area as compared to
other sections of the United States.
Surveys of similar nature are
being conducted on different farm
crops throughout the country, and
the information which is being OBJ
tanned is regarded as most import
ant to those farmers concerned in
the adjustment of their farming
to best meet the exist

OVERCOME FEAR

In 1929, people bought too
much. They spent beyond
their means, they pledged
their income not merely for
that year, but for years to
come. That was one thing
leading to the depression. In
1882, people have bought too
little. Many of course have
spent all they had, but many
have failed to buy what they
could, because of fears Of the
future. The way to meet
those fears, is to show people
by advertising that you have
goods to sell at low prices that
will not continue. When any
one is shown that he can buy
for $1.00 today something

AVIATION SAFETY

brothers first pushed their
kite-like contraption into the
air a quarter of a century ago,
the ordinary man has had a
very deply ingrained fear OF
aerial travel. In the early
days, of course, that fear was
perfectly justified. Flying
then was extremely risky. But
the fear has persisted, even
though ai1'planes have been
d eveloped immeasurably.
Even today it is fairly wide
spread kept alive, probably,
by the occasional reports of
airplane accidents. How great
ly is this fear justified? The
best way to find out is to look
at what happens when COM
petent pilots get together to
put up-to-date planes through
their PAGES. The recent Ma
tional Air Races were such an
occasion. What happened?
First Of all, there were
many military planes present
SO from the army, IL from
the navy, and II from the
marine corps. All Of these
planes flew every day for
eight days, performing intri-
cate maneuvers, engaging in
military stunts, flying in close
formation putting planes
and pilots to the severest pos
sible tests.
No military flyer was killed
OF injured in this work. There
was only one accident, and the
two flyers involved escaped
unhurt. Then there were
races for civilian flyers. Fully
$50 men and women piloted
planes in these events, which
included cross country flying,
Straightaway dashes and an
endless series of Sprints
around a five-mile course.
These were perhaps the
most dangerous events i'm
aginable. Day after day
planes shot along, a scant 100
feet off the ground at speeds
ringing from 13O to 24O miles
an hour. But once again
there were no fatalities. One
plane was destroyed by fire;
its pilot escaped with his par
achute. Lastly, there were
the out and out stunt flyers,
who went up half a dozen
times a day, putting their
planes into positions that
would have been certain death
a dozen years ago. And again
there were no fatalities.
There were not even any ac-
cidents or injuries. The Ma
tional Air Races, taken as a
whole, seem to provide a pref
ty good answer for the fears
Of the man on the ground and
a good pilot flying can be
about as safe a pursuit as any
man could ask.
Smyrna times., 1933-01-25
END DEPRESSION

The quickest way to break
the back of the depression Is
to restore the buying power Of
the farmer. If this one thing
is done a cycle of improved
business will result, reaching
into all other fields Of endeav-
or. The reconstruction Of our
distress must start at the bot
tom, not at the top, if we are
to overthrow our business
lethargy within a reasonable
time. Farming communities
are without buying power,
merchants stocks are low,
trade is at a low ebb, credit Is
tight and naturally 50 because
Of low priced commodities.
Communities, such as ours,
will not regain their purchas-
ing power until prices Of farm
products are boosted.
When the farmer cannot
buy, the manufacturer does
not operate, his employees do
not work and 50 the cycle Of
unemployment and business
istlessness goes on in metro
politan centers. When the
farmer buys, the merchant
moves his goods and re-stocks
his shelves from the manufac-
turer. Then the wheels start
to turn. So far we have wit
messed a congress devoting its
time to beer. And its time
was wasted in this session.
The important thing is not
beer, it is business-the bus
mess Of putting the farmer
back on his feet. The froth
on beer discloses no prosper
ity.
"But take hope. Just now
there is indication that con-
gress intends to take up farm
relief. The Domestic Allot-
ment plan is coming up for
consideration. There are ar
guments in favor and against
it but we have reached the
point where it behooves us to
try something new. If it fails
we will be no worse off than
we were; if it succeeds we are
ahead.
'The allotment plan looks to
improving the price on sever
al farm commodities. 1t could
be put into operation within a
short time and improve the
farmers purchasing power at
once. That done the farmer
would be a good spender. He
neds things; we all need some
thing or other. The manufac-
turer would soon feel the re-
suits of our needs when the
farm buying power is restor-
ed.
1T wouldn't take much to
start the cycle of business and
industry on the upgrade if
buying power were in the
right place but until the
wealth that comes out of the
soil is recognized there will be
no buying power and no pros
perity. Better days will come
to all when corn and hogs are
