ed the subject of compliance for this
year. also the status of the soil con-
servation program as 1t pertains to
the farms in Delaware. Ever since
this project was first started by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration, Mr.. StelzeT has been work
ing with the State and county COM
mittee in both the educational and
compliance phases of this new agri-
cultural program.
The methods which are to be fol-
lowed this year in checking over
these farms were explained by Mr..
Moser, who stated that aerial pho
tographs have been made of Kent
county, and that these pictures will
be used in determining the extent to
which farmers have complied with
the 1887 soil conservation program.
When these photographs have heen
completed and arranged in the form
of a county map, it will then be pos
sible to trace the outline of each
farm and designate the crops that
are growing in the various fields.
During the past several days the
members of the county committee
have been working in the county ex-
tension office preparing farm maps
for use in this years compliance
program, and arrangements have
been completed for starting this field
upon approval from the
ONCE. Field supervisors
have been equipped with measuring
wheels and the necessary compli-
ance papers for checking over these
1902 farms. and it is expected that
this inspection work will start with
in the next few weeks.
Following the discussion Of these
methods the meeting ad-
journed and the remainder of the af-
ternoon was devoted to social hour
during which refreshments consist
ing of ice cream and cake were serv-
ed, thereby making this affair COM
bination Of business and pleasure.

CAMP OTONKA NOTES

We had many friends and parents
as visitors at camp on Sunday. Most
of the activities went on as usual. In
the evening the girls enjoyed a scav-
enger hunt and some indoor games.
Monday, a costume party was
planned and the girls we're asked to
do something to entertain each other.
Some showed unusual ability in tap
dancing, singing, reciting poetry and
storytelling.
A hare and hound hunt was car
ried out Tuesday night and this time
the hares outsmarted the hounds and
got back to camp before the hounds
did.
Wednesday, several of the red
caps" 1.-THE beginners) were placed
in the green caps" much to their
delight. Horseback riding still is
quite popular with the campers. That
evening the girls organized games,
croquet, and archery. Later. indoors,
more games and relays were fur
nished.
Thursday, activities went on as u.s.
ual. That evening a birthday party
was given in honor of the handicraft
counselor. Many games and dances
were enjoyed by all. Then the birth
day cake with candles and grape
juice were brought in and served.
Early in the morning there was
quite a stir in camp. Thirty of the
campers who had qualified in camp
craft were bustling around getting
ready to go on a breakfast hike. Af-
ter a mile hike down the road most
of them were ready for breakfast so
they stopped and built the fires, then
each one had to cook her own break
fast. While a few pieces of toast
were a bit browner than they should
have been and some pieces of bacon
were either too done or quite raw.
the girls ate with much gusto and
thoroughly enjoyed the experience
of breakfasting out.
That evening, the dramatics class
the entertainment u pre-
senting two plays which they had
worked out in class. Under the su-
pervision of Elizabeth Mcfarland,
the dramatics counselor, the plays
proved to be quite a success.
Saturday, some of the girls left
and their places were filled by new
comers so that we still have a full
camp. While the new ones were reg
