wool and (2) larger payments un-
der the incentive program.
In making plans for selling
their wool, chairman Ennis said,
producers might want to study
the relationship of domestic wool
prices to world wool prices. Dur
ing the period of the wool price
decline in recent months, wool
prices in the U. S. have become
lower than usual in relation to
reported prices in the world mar
ket. Prices being offered growers
for their wool may be rejecting
a situation comparable to that
which existed in late 1855 and
early 1856 when prices in the do
mestic market were lower than
usual relative to reported world
wool prices.
The chairman said it is impos-
sible at this time to predict pre-
cisely the rate of incentive pay
ment to be made in the summer
of 1859 on wool sold during the
current marketing year. The rate
will be figured on the basis of the
national average price received
by all producers for wool sold dur
ing the 12-month period. This ma
tional average is a weighted"
average and will depend on the
course of wool prices from now
through next March and the vol
ume of wool sold each month.

Farmers earn payments on the
land held out of production. The
land must not be harvested or
grazed, and must be kept free of
noxious weeds and protected from
erosion.
When the 1858 acreage reserve
signup for spring crops began last
January, the response in most
parts of the country was so heavy
that funds were exhausted and
many farmers were placed on
waiting lists. Later an additional
authorization was provided and
most farmers on waiting lists

PRICES FOR WHOLE YEAR
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
WOOL PROGRAM
PAYMENTS

Under the wool payment pro-
gram, it will pay farmers to con-
slider carefully the possible course
of wool prices during the entire
marketing year when selling their
wool, according to chairman JOS
eph w. Ennis, of the Kent County
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee.
The Delaware Sheep and Wool
Association met last Tuesday
night in Dover and decided to hold
their annual wool pool on Satur-
day, June 21st at the ent-Sussex
Playground in Harrington. If the
market remains depressed, the
pool may be moved to a later
date, but it will be held. Delaware
pooling prices have averaged 8 to
16 cents per pound more for wool
because the wool is graded when
the farmers bring it for pooling
together.
While market prices differ great
ly for the wide range of grades
and classes of wool produced, each
individual grower should market
to get the best possible price for
his quality wool. Growers who
sell their wool when market

New federal potato grade stand

percent. Tolerance for disease and
other damage is also reduced.
The new standards include a
change in the us. Number One,

camp in Seneca Park, near Gath

This is the third year that the
camp has been run for deserving
boys who would otherwise have
no chance to go to camp. Work
ing on voluntary basis, Ameri-

bers provide supervision and com
fort, medical attention and en-
tertainment.
The tents, equipment, cots and
sanitary facilities were loaned by
the Army with soldiers from the
Nike Site at Gaithersburg putting
them up; the Navy supplied a
movie protector and sound sys-
tenn, while local merchants and
firms gladly donated the little
supplies and services which can
run into large sums of money.
There is sharply defined chain
of command at the camp, which
is run on semi-military lines. The
camp director is Colonel Robert
Bard, of Crawford Drive, Rock

from the Army to play nurse

hasn't arisen this year, as every

boys have all been well warned
that the first theft will result in

and the camp closed.
The main project in the camp
has been the building of a dam
at the swimming hole in the

the boys woodlore and taking

Parents in Montgomery
County, apparently have more
responsibility in looking after
the educational needs of their
offspring than those else
where in the country.

dren to accept, as basic
principle, prime RESPONSE
bility for the educational
guidance of their own chill

tee stated, cannot afford to
leave this responsibility to
chance, or solely to the
schools"
In the main, the 41-page report
deals with educational opportuni-
ties and handicaps encountered
by bright children in the public
schools of the county. AS re-
suit of its research, the Commit
tee pointed out that "the domi-
nant educational philosophy in
Montgomery County for the past
several decades has been progress
sive education for life adjust
ment." The whole child, socially,
emotionally and intellectually
well-integrated and well-adjusted
to his contemporary age group
was held to be the major obiec-
tive of a good school system"
Individual differences among
children, the committee report
states, "were regarded as import.
ant and worthy of a teacher's>at-
tentiOn and respect, but the pri-
macy of high academic achieve
ment was regarded as contrary
to the concept of the whole child
With the increase in population
that came with World War II and
the mushrooming school popula-
ton which followed, the commit
tee found that '1the school system
failed to keep pace, and education-
al theory and policy tended either
to jell, or to be interpreted rather
individually by various principals
and supervisors"
Ability grouping in county high
schools, according to the report
came about mot as a result of
centrally directed policy, but rath-
er through the initiative of indi-
vidual high school principals. A"
Heterogeneous grouping in ele-
mentary schools, however, seems
still to be regarded as unwritten
