PRICE SUPPORTS = Soybeans,
grown this year, to be eligible for
price supports must be grown ON
farms where the 1959-60 average
acreage of conservingo and idle
land has been maintained.
Silas Dukes, chairman of th e
Sussex County AS.C. Committee,
i n making III e announcement
pointed out that this is the same
requirement that was in effect last
year.
Mr.. Dukes explained that t h e
rule is designed to insure that any
increase in Soybean production
will come from acreage that has
been used for crops in abundant
| supply such as wheat, corn, grain
sorghum or other feed crops,
rather than from land that h "a
been in conserving use or that has
| been idle.
HOG PRICES - Prices for hogs
may have reached their low for
this spring, says George Vapaa,
Kent county agent. The summer
price rise should be nearly normal
Weekly market receipts of hogs
| typically decrease during May and
June. Slaughter normally d e.
creases to its yearly low the first
week in July. AS market receipts
shrink, prices of hogx wofR up
ward, often climbing even higher
after market supplies began to ex-
pand in Js1ly and August
Market supplies may continue to
be five percent over last years
levels until July, the agent re-
ports. Supplies in prospect for
July, August, and September are
no larger than those of last year,
and supplies during October thru
December may be about the same
as in 1861.

are growing small grains ofor cert
flied seed production rogue plants
should be removed before the field
| inspector comes to check your
field, says associate county agricul-
tural agent Ed Ralph.
Inspections will begin in Della
ware. in about a week.
Off type plants such as rye in
wheat fields or oats in barley fields
should be removed now to save
last minute rushing to meet certi-
fication requirements.
