men actually read their kilograms Of
protest during election years. Having
progressed we believe differently now.
In the light of recent momentous
happenings in Washington, the latest
general consensus is that the shortest

discovered is the infinitesinnal tri!-

CONSERVATION PLANS
In KENT NEARLY READY
Compliance Reports Being Returned
To County Extension ONCE


With the nearing Of the compile
tion of the field inspection in con-
nection with the 1888 agricultural
conservation program in Kent coun-
ty, compliance reports are being re-
turned to the county extension .ofiice
where they are checked over by the
county committee preparatory to be-
ing forwarded to the ONCE OF r. o.
Stelzer, State executive oficer, at the
University Of Delaware. for approx
al before being mailed to the Wash
ington Office Of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration.
According to records which are
on file in the ofica Of County Agent
Russell E. Wilson. secretary Of the
Kent County Agricultural Conserve
ton Association, there were 1898
farms in the county included in the
1887 program, or an increase Of APP
proximately so per cent over the
number of farms in the 1886 conser-
walton program. Until the field in
spection for this year is completed,
however. it is impossible to state the
total number Of Kent county farms
which will be included in the 1883
program. but It Is estimated that this
number will be greatly increased as
the result Of the interest that is be-
ing shown in this program by a
large majority Of landlords and ten
ants.
