More Girls Than Boys

The many projects completed by
DeIaware's All club boys and girls
in 1860 is proof that the 4-H-learn
by-doing system is successful, ac-
cording TO James o. Baker. State
All Club Leader The hundred or
so categorieS of All projects form
the backbone of the All organiza-
tion which has been growing stead
lily for more than so years.
During the past 30 years, the
number of girls enrolled in All
have topped the boys in the same
proportion. according to figures
supplied by the United Stated De-
partment of Agriculture. There are
now 100000 more girls than boys
in All club work in the United
States, Ages range from 10 TO 21
years.
Originally planned to help farm
youngsters. Baker said the volun-
tary educational program now
claims nearly half its membership
from city and non-farm rural
homes. Apparently. pride of accom-
plishment is a key factor in this
particular brand of youth organi-
Zation which makes il so popular.
Right from the beginning of III
interested parties have donated
awards in recognation of top per-
formance in citizenship, leadership
and project achievement. Last fall
more than 1000 expense-paid trips
(16 in Delawarel to National All
Club Congress in Chicago wer e
given to state. sectional and na-
tional All award winners. About
200 teenagers received college SCH
olarships. and one in every Is club
members won medals in local COM
petition.

Plants Need A
Balanced Diet Too

Plants have appetites. just as
humans and farm animals do. But
unfortunately. Kent county agent
George Vapaa. says plants can't
vary their available foods at will
to match their appetites for bal
anced diet.
This is where you. as an alert
farmer can enter the picture. You
don't have TO wait until your
crops are ring-streaked. speckled.
and spotted with blotchy descolor-
alton. You can get help beforehand
by having a soil test made to de-
tect nutrient DEFICIENCIES before
you plant your crops.
MIR. Vapaa said that soil test
will help you determine how much
and what kind of each fertilizer
element you should add To pro-
duce heavy. healthy yield of any
crop.
The county agent explained that
many crops in the county are for
ced into "overeating" certain ele-
ments but are on a starvation diet
for other nutrients they need for
healthy. steedy growth.
He emphasized that major soil
fertility problem in the county is
an unbalanced supply of plant
nutrients. Eating only one food
source each day is unhealthy for
people-similarly he pointed out.
no one morsel OF a certain fert-
ilizer element can keep plants
well-fed.
The county agent urged all
farmers to ask themselves two
questions: (1l Are you sure you
know the fertility condition of the
soils of the farm? (2) Do you
know what kind and amount OF
fertilizer to use on your crops for
top yields and profits?
If you can answer these Ques-
tions. he said. you are on the road
to more profitable farming. But
il you can't he strongly suggests
that you obtain the right answer
by having a soil test made right
away on each field of your farm.
For details on how to take good
samples. and bad samples are
worse then none. call the Exten-
sion Service on the second floor

for this sprouting of life in March.
They, under the careful guidance
of their teacher Miss Emma G..
Woodson, did an excellent job.
The third grade class and their
teacher, Mrs. Eva Evans, have been
learning about many things They
have been very kind by letting us
in on their important findings.
In Health class we, the Bird grade
have been talking about good
grooming Good grooming begins
with being clean. TO keep clean we
must take baths. We take baths TO
make us feel fresh and rested.
Baths make us sleep better at mite
Soap and warm water help wash
away dirt and germs. There are
three kinds of baths. They are
sponge bath. tub bath and shower.
We have showers at school. We
take showers every Thursday NOR
ming after recess. We love to take
our showers. They make us feel
fresh and clean.
We are learning to tell time. We
wanted to know how people told
time before our kind of clocks were
made Benjamin Pullman brought
book about telling time TO school
He let us use it, Here are some
things we learned from his book
] Old Egyptian Shadow Stick
In the early days the people oi
Egypt told time with the shadow
stick. This was just two sticks put
in the ground Another stick was
put across the two sticks. When
/ the sun was shining the sticks
made shadow. The people could
tell time by the place of the shad-
ow. jeanette Brady
Water Clock of Old Egypt
This clock looked like a pail
Marks were inside the pail. Water
was put inside the pail. A little
hole was put in the bottom OF
the pail. The water leaked out
People told time by seeing where
1 the water came on the marks.
Sylvester Johnson
The Candle Clock
The candle clock is old fashion
ed People used ii in the old days
1t had a candle in it, The candle
had marks on it. When the candle
burned it melted. People told time
by seeing what marks the candle
had melted down to. The first can
die clock was made in England
Marian Johnson
| Sundial
Some people still have sundials
/ in their gardens. Sundials are no
a good way to tell time. You can.
not tell time by a sundial unless
/ the sun is shining.
Bonita Pettyjohr
Time Today
Today il is easier to tell tins
than it was a long long time ago
We have electric clocks. windin;
clocks and watches. Clocks anC
watches are not as expensive al
they were a long time ago. Mostl.

SBA Out To Aid In
"Grass Roots" Drive

The Small Business Administra-
tion will cooperate IN a grass
roots" drive in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware to spur econ
omic activity and employment thru
loans to local development compan-
les. William H. Harman, Regional
Director of the Small Business Ad-
ministration. said today.
Mr. Harman explained that un-
der SBA's lending program to To-
cal development companies. COM
munities can step up economic
growth and boost job opportunities
and income by helping new small
firms get started or by helping
small businesses expand, modern
ize or diversity. The program can
play particularly important part
in stimulating business and jobs
in labor surplus areas.
Mr.. Harman called on chambers
of commerce, planning organiza-
tions, and other groups concerned
with economic development in PEN
nsylvania, Nv Jersey and Della
ware TO take the lead in establish
ing local development companies
eligible for SBA loans. In the two
years that the program has been
in operation, he pointed out, only
nine development companies in
Pennsylvania have taken advantage
of the program and obtained SBA
loans. There is a large untapped
source of assistance available TO
local communities interested in
promoting economic growth, he
said.
Under the SBA program. a local
community, working through a
publicly owned and controlled dew
elopment company. can provide the
initiative and initial investment to
help established small business ex-
pand and modernize and new small
businesses get started. The SBA. in
turn. can lend the development
company the major part of the
funds it needs TO help small en-
terprises.
To be eligible for assistance thru
SBA loans to a development COM
pany. a business must qualify as
small under SBA size standards. In
the case of labor surplus areas.
SBA has modified these standards
to permit a % per cent differen-
tial.
Mr.. Harman emphasized t n I
SBA's role is limited to lending
and that the local development
companies themselves must be re-
sponsible for selecting the small
business firms. He stressed that
SBA is not in a position to under
take the task of locating or recon-
mending specific firms to partici-
pate in the development program.
The maximum SBA loan under
the program is s250,900. However.
SBA may make as many loans of
up to S250,000 to a development
company as there are specific
businesses participating.
In the case of each loan the
development company must be pre-
pared to invest-in funds or equiva-
lent assets-not less than 90 per
cent of the cost of the PROJECT i'm
volved in the Joan.
Mr.. Harman nvit9t loca. COM
munities and development compan-
les to contact the Philadelphia
SBA office, located at 1915 Chest
nut Street, to discuss possible SRA
help in financing small business
projects.
He also announced availability
from the office of new fact sheet
Does Small Business In Your Com
munity Need Capital?." which ex-
plains briefly SBA's program of
loans to local development compan-
les.
