this spring. The only exceptions to
this administrative ruling. therefore,
is regarding those farms where crops
are now growing, and where farmers
need additional cash with which to
carry their crops through the season.
To date 81 emergency crop loans
amounting to 1895 have been ap-
proved this spring in Kent County,
or an average of about $125 per bOr-
rover, as compared to $3.50 loaned
in 1894 to SO farmers, or an average

were ~ farmers who borrowed a
total OF $3.50. with an average Of
S14O, while in 1882 a total OF $3.50
was loaned to % farmers. making an
average of 1920 per borrower. When
these crop loans we're first issued in
this county in the spring Of 1881
only five farmers applied for this
form OF credit. and but $3.50 was
loaned, or an average Of $92 per
farmer.
OF these 81 crop loans in Kent
County this spring, so per cent Of
them have been issued to land own

the average size of these farms Is
102 acres.
In Offering these loans to farmers
who are unable to obtain credit from
any other source, the Federal gov

FOOD MARKET

TN general the housewife has real
reason to be cOntented with pres
eht market conditions. Although
MEATS are relatively high the peak
seems to have been reached. FRUITS
and VEGETABLES are cheap or Tea-
s0nable and BUTTER and EGGS very
moderate. Butter in fact is One-third
cheaper than it was q few weeks ago.
Local Produce Dominates Market
Local grown produce is becoming a
bigger factor each week in our mar
kets. Although each section of the
country is always dependent on others
to maintain the wide choice we are
accustomed to ind in our markets, we
are ell more nearly self-suppOrting
during the summer months.
Outstanding among the home grown
foods are ASPARAG US, BEETS,
PEAS, SPINACH. RADISHES, SHAL-
LOTS. LETTUCE, SCALLIONS,

THE LONG VACATION
JULIA w. WOLFE

ious aud stupid time is unless ra-
tionalIy spent. He is in a position
resembling that Of the king, just
mentioned, after the dismissal of the
fayOrite. He is thrown very much
upon his own resources. He soon
discovers, at least, that there are
portions Of a summer day during
which it Is pleasant and good to get
into a cool corner for reading, and
other portions that invite to active
Out-of-dOOr play. He is occasionally
at a loss for something to do, and
passes some tedious hours, yet with
Just a little help he learns now to
lay out and employ his time so as to
get from it a fair average of profit
and pleasure.
More and more we are beginning
to realize that wise use OF leisure
is as important in the life Of the
individual as attention to business
or careful workmanship. For the
child, the hours before and after
school and the vacation days fur
nish much leisure, and his educa-

is taken of this spare time. He
should be helped to organize 1t in
way to secure desirable balance.
While inclinations should always be
consulted they are not infallible
guides. A child may need special
urging with regard to outdoor activ-
tiles, or he may need much friendly
encouragement to continue to inyes-
tigate until he finds a quiet hobby
that he will ride with real delight
On the other hand, his interests may
hever center on any one line OF ac-
ton; he may enjoy the world al
most equally from many points OF
view.
But always it is desirable to get
him to plan his leisure time, yet to
have his plan easily adjustable, Also
to encourage worthwhile Objectives
that bring him happiness all along
the way. Genuine pleasure is a re
auirement" in properly conducted
leisure time employment.

TALK HAPPINESS

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Talk happiness. The world is sad
enough
Without your woe. No path is Who'll
ly rough.
Look for the places that are smooth
and clear,
And speak Of them to rest the weary
ear
OF earth; so hurt by one continuous
- strain
Of mortal discomfort and grief and
pain.
Talk faith. The world is better off
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
If you have faith in God, or man. or
self.
Say so; if not, push back upon the
shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till
faith shall come;
No one will grieve because your lips
are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary, reverend
ing tale
OF mortal maladies is worn and
stale
You can not charm. or interest, or

Say you are we'll, or all is well with

And God shall hear your words, and
