CHECKING OVER
SOIL PROGRAM
Farmers of Kent Told More
of Agricultural COnserva-
tion Compliance
AERIAL PHOTOS STUDIED

Within the past several weeks
the Kent county extension Office
has received numerous inquiries
from those farmers who signed ap-
plications in the agricultural con-
servation program regarding their
benefit payments for 1897 compli-
ance, and the features included in
the 1888 agricultural program
which will be announced later
through the press and at commun-
ity educational meetings to be ar
ranged by County Agent Russell
E. Wilson in cooperation with
county and district committees of
the Kent County Agricultural Con
servation Association. The extent
to which farmers in this county
have complied with the rulings of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
with reference to the
1887 program was determined by
field inspection, and the acreage
measurements in each field are
now being checked over by the use
of aerial photographs. AS there
was a delay in receiving these aer-
ial maps from Washington, the
field inspection was started last
and each supervisor
was instructed to secure the names
of those farms which bounded each
farm to be inspected in order that
these places could be easily located
on the aerial maps, and the various
fields properly designated as to
crops and acreage. During the past
six weeks the county committee
R. Harry Wilson, Laur-
ence E. Cain and H. Clifford Clark,
with the assistance of field super
visors have been working on these
aerial maps, and an efficient office
force is measuring these fields with
small instruments known as plan
meters. These records will be

iustment Administration and will

DELAWARE Al
TO JUDGE CORN
Will Have Part in Program of
Delaware Crop Improve
ment Association
CORN JUDGING CONTEST

Members of Delaware All Clubs
again this year will pit their skill
at selecting good corn against one
another at the Thirty-first Annual
Exhibit of the Delaware Crop I'm
provement Association, to be held
in Newark, January 6, Z, and 8.
The All Club Corn Judging Con-
test, of which G. E. McCauley,
State Al Club Agent at Large, is
in charge, will be held in Wolf Hall
on the University of Delaware
Campus, Saturday morning, Janu-
ary s, beginning at ten o'clock.
The youthful corn experts will be
expected to select the best ten ear
ana single ear samples of both
white and yellow corn from several
samples of each variety. Each of
the contestants will be given a
score card and asked to score the
corn which is to be judged. The
score cards will then be graded and
the contestant who most consist
emily selects the correct samples
as being best and who presents the
best reasons for his selections will
be awarded honors. McCauley
said that All Club members would
compete for County awards in the
form of scholarships to the annual
4-H Club Short Course, which is
held at the University each June.
In addition, a state champion will
be selected. "Such contests" Nc
Cauley said, "help our future agri-
culturists learn how to be better
farmers. In preparing for these
contests, they must study some
phase of agriculture, in this case it
Is corn. These lads, to be able to
show up well in the contest, must
know corn, what it should be like
and how to select good corn from
all kinds of samples. In the future,
they will be better able to select
good seed corn and, consequently,
will make better farmers"
