CHECK SUSSEX FARMS In
SOIL CONSERVATION
School OF Instruction Recently Held
BY Dept. Executives For Check.Up


For the purpose of starting the job
of checking all farms signed up in
the Soil Conservation Program in
Sussex county, r. o. Stelzer, Univer-
sity of Delaware, and Mr.. Moser
from the Soil Conservation Depart
ment at Washington, recently held
school of instruction in the County
Agents ONCE at Georgetown. This
school was held for all local super
visors who we're appointed to check
the 5000 cooperating farms in the
county.
In doing this work 1t Is very i'm
portant that each supervisor get in
contact with the owner or tenant
and have him help in this work, so
that complete history of the farm
and what was done In each field can
be obtained. without this detail in
the fullest benefits of the
program can hardly be obtained.
This was true, in many cases In 1896
when either the farmer or supervis-
or did not get all the information
needed and the result was that the
farmers checks in some instances
we're greatly reduced. The county
office can figure only on the data
handed in on the records, and 1t is
from these records that the amount
Of payment is derived.
