KENT COUNTY FARMERS
APPROVE PROGRAMS
Present Greater Appeal Than Any
Previous Farm Programs

OF the many programs which have
been placed before the farmers in
Kent county In recent years. the ag-
ricultural planning project and the
soil conservation program for the
balancing of production and the i'm
provement of soil fertility have pre-
sented greater appeal than any
previous farm programs. according
to County Agent Russell e. Wilson,
whose 1886 annual report has been
submitted to the University of Del
aware and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. -
These programs are being con-
Quoted under the direction of the
extension service in accordance with
the procedure outlined by the Fed
eral government In cooperation with
committees of representative farm
ers. and recommendations have
been made relative to the reduction
of grain crops. and the seeding of
larger acreages of legumes for feed
and soil improvement purposes.
In drafting these recommends
tions.. however, the committee kept
in mind the crop acreage which
might result In the future In Kent
county. provided certain adjustments
were made in balancing production
along with the maintenance of soil
fertility. When this matter was pre-
sented to farmers at community
meetings last spring for general
discussion. they were of the opinion
that since the fertility of the land
In most sections of the county has
