KENT FARMERS ARE HAPPY
Have Received Over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars in Checks

With approximately 500 checks
for total sum of more than $751;
300 already received in Delaware
from Agricultural Conservation
headquarters in Washington, DC,
Delaware farmers have started to
receive payments for their efforts
to build up the soil of the state and
to conserve it through changed ag-
ricultural practices. According to
r. o. Stelzer, Extension Economist
at the University of Delaware, who
has been in charge of the educa-
tional phases of the agricultural
program in the state, 241 checks,
totaling $20,274.23 for Kent Coun-
ty farmers cooperating in the pro-
gram and 258 checks adding to
$17,094.99 for Sussex Countians
had been received up to Friday,
November 6. "The checks receiv-
ed to date" Stelzer pointed out,
"are only a fraction of those due
to arrive for distribution in the
state. The remainder are expect
ed to arrive at intervals within the
next week or two and will be sent
Immediately to farmers to whom
they are due While about 500
checks have been received, they
cover payments due for soil con-
servation work done on only a few
more than 400 farms in the state.
In many cases two checks, one COW
ering soil building payments and
one covering soil-conserving pay
ments, are on hand for the same
farmer.

SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Good Advice To Motorists
and Others on Care and
Caution on Highways
IN INTEREST OF SAFETY

Delaware sportsnen are taking
to the woods and fields by the hum
dreds as the annual hunting season
gets under way. According to the
Delaware Safety Council, many
hunters are involved in accidents
each year as a result of careless
ness. The following suggestins list
ed by the Council, if strictly OBJ
served, should eliminate accidents
during the hunt:
1. Always assume that every
gun is loaded until you prove it to
be otherwise.
2. Never point a gun in any di-
rection where an accidental dis
charge may do harm.
8. Guns when transported in au-
tomobiles should be taken apart
If, however, they are not, the hunt
er should be extremely careful to
make sure that when the guns are
taken from the car they are not
taken butt first instead of the Gus
tomary method of barrel first" If
the barrel is taken out fist it is
generally clasped in the right hand
and when extracted in this manner
the muzzle is pointed directly at
the head or chest of the person re-
moving it.
4. Cartridges should not be plac-
ed in the gun until action is antici-
pated. The safety should be kept
in a safe position until the game
has been flushed.
5. Using the gun to punch or
club game out of the brush is a
hazardous practice.
6. When going through a barbed
wire fence, always place the gun
through first muzzle to the front.
z. Never fire at any moving OBJ
ject until you are able to determine
exactly what it is.
s. Never leave a gun in such
position that dog or companion
may accidentally discharge it.
9. In canoe or small boat, do
not attempt to stand up in order
to shoot.
10. Make sure that the muzzls
of the gun is not clogged with mud
or snow
IL. Pick your company when
cunning and shy away from fool
ish hunters.
IL. A bright colored cap will
serve to identify you to your fel-
lew hunters.
13. Don't let an accident spoil
your sport.
