NEWS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS AND FARM FAMILIES
OF KENT COUNTY
Management In Terms of Production
Rates More Important Than Size
OF KENT COUNTY

Many people in agriculture or
associated with it talk incessant-
ly about the need for farmers
to increase the size of their
farms business.
We often forget that what we
are after is efficiency and SIM
ply being big operator" does
not automatically make an oper-
alton more efficient.
A big farm with lots of cows
or hogs or machinery doesn't
guarantee success in farming. A
large business can be a multi
plier of profit, but if there is a
loss the large operation also
multiplies the loss.
The farmer who has so many
acres or cows that he really
doesn't have the time to get
anything done right, can get in
to trouble faster and deeper
than a smaller operator. Just
one bad mistake or crop failure
and losses may be so large that

he cannot recover. This is es.
pecially likely to occur if the
farmer has over extended his
credit. in an effort to get a big
business unit.
Management factors in terms
of high production levels and
control of capital and credit
must be rated more important
than large size.
Size, however, does play two
very important roles in the farm
organization.
First it helps to make better
efficiency possible. That is a
farmer can make more efficient
use of his time and machinery
if he can use them for fifty cows
rather than thirty cows. Large
units help lower unit costs.
For example, the same baler,
tractor and wagon unit can ham
die seventy-five acres of hay a
year about as well as thirty
acres. And using the tools on

Wool Program
Nets Sl325.OO To
Local Growers

A total of $l,325.80 has been
paid so far to Kent County wool
growers in the form of pay
ments earned in the national
wool program for the 1859 mar
keting year, according to Lister
Hall, Jr., office manager of the
County Agricultural Stabiliza-
ton and Conservation Office, at
Dover.
The payments now being made
were earned on marketing of
wool and unshorn lambs during
the year from April, 1859 thr-
ough March 81, 1850.
On shorn wool the rate of
payment is 43.2 percent of the
growers net proceeds from wool
marketings, or $43.20 per $l00
received. For unshorn lambs, the
rate is rs cents per hundred
weight for the liveweight of
lambs sold.
There is a deduction from
each growers payment to pro-
vide a fund used in promoting
the sale of wool and lamb. This
deduction, authorized by grow
ers in a referendum, amounts to
one cent a pound for shorn wool
and 5 cents a hundredweight for
unShorn lambs.
The wool program, authorized
by the National Wool Act, is
designed to increase the annual
wool output of the United Stat
es to a total of 300,000,000
pounds. This is done by means
of incentive payments which
bring theaverage price received
by growers for wool to 81 cents
per pound.
The 1860 marketing year will
continue until March 81, 1861,
and payments for marketings
during that period will be made
next summer.
Smyrna times., 1960-08-11

seventy-five acres rather than
thirty cuts the equipment cost
per acre by two and a half
times.
The second reason why size
of the farm business is import
ant is because it helps to null
tiply profits. If you have a lab
or income of $3.50 per COW on
twenty cows and can double the
herd size without losing this per
COW income average, then you
can double your income.
But, if you are not able to
lower your costs per animal to
achieve more efficient produc-
ton with a larger business unit
then the bigger size becomes a
handicap.
Management is the key to the
whole situation. 1t isn't the size
of the unit but the way the
farmer uses what he has to
work with that really deter
mines his success or failure.
Farmers with small farm un-
its will operate their farm units
differently from those with big
units, but in all cases they will
be trying to make the most OF
what they have. This means
keeping production costs pei
unit low, keeping production
levels high, and making good
use of labor, capital and credit.
Within reasonable limits it's
the man on the farm rather than
the size of the farm that deter
mines how successful the bust
ness will be.
It's the Man" in management
that really counts.

Large Increase In
Auto Rate
Council Reports

There were 2,069 accidents
causing property damage and
588 causing personal injuries on
the roads and streets of Della
ware during the "Slow Down
and Live" campaign period last
year, it was reported recently
by ]. H. Tyler Mcconnell, presi-
dent of the Delaware Safety
Council, who called for the ex-
ercise of extreme caution to
cut down on those figures this
year.
The "Slow Down and Live"
campaign extends from the
Memorial Day weekend through
Labor Day, and thus covers the
period of peak summer driving.
! The accidents causing prop
erty damage included 625 in
Wilmington and l,444 outside
the city. In the 1858 period, the
figures showed SIS in the city
and l,l91 outside. The 1859 ac-
cidents far exceeded those in
1858, ard represent a figure
which can be reduced by efforts
on the part of drivers, Mr.. Nc
Connell said.
The accidents causing personal
injuries included 210 in the city
and 378 outside the city in 1859
In the campaign period of the
preceding year there were l64
such accidents in the city and
324 outside, to reach the same
total of 588 personal injury ac-
cidents.
| The figures on fatal accidents,
reported earlier, show 80 during
the Slow Down and Live period
of last summer and FL in the
same period of 1858. All of
these statistics can be improved
this summer, Mr.. Mcconnell
said, if motorists are willing to
bear in mind that a high volume
of cars on the roads coupled
with a tendency to be in a
hurry adds up to a very danger
Gus situation. 1t is precisely
because of the high traffic vol
ume and the tendancy to speed
to vacation spots that causes
a disproportionately high num-
Der of accidents of all kinds in
the summer time, he said. 1t is
prudent, therefore, to be espec-
tally careful to avoid 'in a hur-
ry" driving errors during this
period.
These errors include:
1. Exceeding posted d speed
limits.
2. Going too fast for road
conditions.
3. Improper passing.
4. Following too closely.
S. Failing to yield right-of-
way.

manic exhibits of livestock and
agricultural product processing
methods, combined to bring an
estimated IL to l,400 people to
the annual Farm Field Day at
the University of Delaware Sub
station Division near George
town, August 3.
The antique implement show
drew 81 entries and was the

ing plow.
Beef animals, sheep and brood
mares along with their colts,
were all on hand in the grove
at the Substation and attracted
the interest of the youngsters
as well as farmers. The brood
mare exhibit explained the hay
pellet feeding experiment now
underway at the University.
Buses took the visitors to the
many experimental plots around
the farm. Tests underway on
plant varieties; disease, insect
and weed control chemicals, and
many other cultural practices
were studied by visiting farm
ers.
A homemakers program was
held featuring demonstrations on
making gifts from inexpensive
materials.
A program for poultrymen
featured reports on research on
feeder space, litter materials,
and vaccine evaluation.
About 700 people took ad-
vantage of the fried chicken
available for lunch and listened
to a welcoming message from
Dean George M. Worrilow of
the school of agriculture. He
introduced Governor ]. Caleb
Boggs and other visiting digni-
tares.
Free watermelon put the final
touches on the days activities
at about $50 and a cleanup
crew went to work on the scat
tered chicken bones and water

One of Cleveland's foremost
news broadcasters, VICAR news
director Charles Day addressed
the Caledonia PTA last week
Mr.. Day whose job has taken
him to many critical areas Of
the globe, drew contrasts that
he observed during his summer
jaunt to Russia.
In the talk entitled, "Sput-
niks, Jet Planes and Log Cab
ins," Mr.. Day told the PTA Of
incidents that occurred in Rus
sia while he covered Vice Presi-
dent Nixon's visit there.
Although the Russians pro-
vided excellent air travel for
the encourage, including the
most up-to-date jet transporta-
tion, horse-drawn carts pro-
vide conveyance for some city
officials in carrying out their
duties.
Many of the Russian people
live in either unpainted log
log houses which fall just short
of being shacks or they live in
the apartment projects that the
government has been construct
ing over the past few years, Mr..
Day related.
The Soviet city of Novo
Sibarsj, which is inhabited by
100000 people who live mostly
in novels, is advertised as the
Chicago Of Siberia by American
One American corre-
spondent who visited this city
said, Chicago should sue."
In conclusion Mr.. Day said
he feels that Mr.. Kruschev is
a leader of his people is exploit
ing them no less than did the
czars of old. He feels that Mr..
K is we'll aware that the United
States has no intention Of de-
claring war on Russia and by
refusing to reduce the military
effort, the Russian people are
made to go without consumer
goods that they would like to
have.

The UGF had approved a fund So
licitation limited to families Of Scouts
and to former Scouts, like the supple
mental drive held by the council last
year. But the council had proposed
widening the scope Of the canvass in
way that would have violated UGF
principles restricting its member-agen-
cies to one public campaign year-that
sponsored by the UGF. Faced with the
prospect OF withdrawing from the UGF
"a move that could have spanked other
Withdrawals and endangered the united

has agreed to conduct only UGF-ap-
proved limited solicitation.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross has an
nounced plans for restricted supple
mental campaign-but one which has
the full sanction Of the UGF and which
is authorized by clause in the contract
under which the Red Cross originally
joined the UGF.
Thus, UGF givers are assured of
continuance Of the united giving move
