FEDERAL CROP
INSURANCE ACT
Regional Conference Held at
Baltimore at Which Kent
Officials Attended
ACT is EXPLAINED

For the purpose of discussing the
provisions Of the Federal Crop In
surance Act, which offers crop in
surance to wheat growers, a reg
ional conference was held in Balti-
more, Maryland, on Wednesday of
this week under the direction of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture in cooperation with the
state extension departments and
representative farmers who are
connected with the agricultural
conservation program. Kent coun-
ty was represented at this confer
ence by r. Harry Wilson, H. Cliff
ford Clark and Laurence E. Cain,
members Of the county committee
of the Kent County Agricultural
Conservation Association, O. Ar
thur Taylor, chairman of the state
committee, and County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson. According to in
formation which has been received
at the Kent county extension Office,
under the Agricultural Adjustment
Act of 1888 there has been estab-
lished a Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation which will offer wheat
farmers insurance on their crop
against losses from unavoidable
causes such as drought, flood, hail,
wind storms, insect pests and plant
diseases. Insurance policies will
be available beginning with the
wheat crop for harvest in 1889, and
premiums for this insurance must
be paid at the time the policies are
issued. The amount Of premiums
to be paid will depend upon the
crop-loSS experience both on the in
dividual farms and for the county
in which the farms are located.
All premiums are to be in actual
wheat or its cash equivalent, and
this wheat is to be stored by the
Federal Crop Insurance Corpora
ton to pay losses to farmers. The
expenses and the
cost of storage will be paid by the
corporation with funds appropriat-
ed by the federal government, and
the net cost of this insurance will
be borne by the farmers through
the payment of premiums. This
program is to be directed by the
Federal Crop Insurance Corpora
ton, and local administration will
be through the state and county
committees under the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. Elk
penditures for administration and
costs are considered to
be in the interest of the general
welfare Of the nation, as the pro-
gram is designed not only to stab
ilize the income of wheat growers,
but also to establish reserve sup
plies of wheat to meet domestic
requirements in the event of ser
ious crop failures. Wheat farm
ers who are interested in applying
for this crop insurance should get
in touch with the county extension
office of members of the county ag-
conservation committee.

COLORFUL MAY
FETE AT SCHOOL
600 Pupils Did Honor to ''May
Queen" and Her Court
Tuesday Afternoon
A CREDITABLE AFFAIR

The May Day Festival given by
the pupils of John Bassett Moore
Schools Tuesday will go down with
a record that far exceeded any at
tempt of its kind ever made. 1t
was the largest, most colorful and
best executed May Day program
ever given in Smyrna. Ideal cool
weather greeted the day, neither
too hot nor too cold The affair
took place Tuesday afternoon on
the athletic field starting at 100
o'clock with the browning Of the
queen and as the festivities were in
honor Of the May Queen, Miss
Margaret Hurd, her court" and
throne" was in setting of flow
ers and evergreen before which
she and her attendants stood.
More than six hundred boys and
girls were on the green" at
one time, including representa-
tives of every grade from kinder
garten to twelfth. All of them
were dressed in costume which
made a colorful scene that won ex-
pressions of delight and applause.
Before the Queen" and her court
were: Swedish dances, calisthenics,
flag drills, tumbling and scenes of
the Swedes and Dutch in Delaware
in pantomime. Armstrong Hamil-
ton narrated the story over a loud
speaking system. The May Pole
dance was rather unique and de-
spite the strong wind that blew it
was executed exceptionally well.
Five May Pole groups, from first
graders to undergraduates danced
at the middle pole. Much credit is
due Superintendent George r. Mill
er and his staff of teachers. The
whole affair would have done credit
to any college or university.
