Kent County has enjoyed a
remarkably stable agriculture
which for a number of years
has averaged around 20 mil
lion dollars annually. In 1861,
total cash farm income for Kent
County was $2l.5 million. The
final figures are not In for
1862 but it is estimated that
farm income for Kent County
will be approximately the same
as in 1861. Vegetable, broiler,
and potatoe sales held their
own or increased during 1862
with soybeans and milk drop
ping off slightly.
The unusual amount of stab
ility of farm income of Kent
County is due largely to a good
balance between livestock and
crops and to the fact that a major
part of the County has excellent
farm land that is productive,
easily titled, and suitable to a
wide range of crops. The lead
ing agricultural commodities
produced in the county are: soy
beans, fluid milk, and vege-
tables, each with sales exceed
ing three million dollars. Corn,
broilers and potatoes are also
very important with each having
gross cash sales of over two
million dollars. These six
major commodities account for
IS percent of the farm income.
Thus the agricultural economy
of the county has a broad div
ersified base so that fluc-

ReadingNo
Simple Task
Says NEA

We've all heard by now how
easy it is to learn to read---
especially if we try this new
system or that new device.
Well, it just isn't SO, accord
ing to a new pamphlet published
by the National Education As
sociation especially to help par
ents better understand how their
children learn to read in school.
Called "Your Child and Read
ing" the pamphlet is written BY
six recognized experts and cuts
through the current maze Of
misinformation about reading.
Reading is no simple task,
the pamphlet points out, for it
involves more than just recog-
nized words. The words must
also be understood and inter
preted. The reader must be
able to see through the phony
arguments. He must be able to
read between the lines for the
hidden meanings. Sometimes he
has to hunt through rapidly for
key ideas, or react to the beau
ty of the writing. So reading,
instead of simple task, is one
that involves complicated CO.
ordination between the eyes and
brain.
The authors say modern
teaching methods, despite criti-
cism, have been proven more
effective in teaching children to
read than have the methods used
even 20 or 80 years ago.
And the authors point out that
the basic readers the children
bring home from school are not
the only books a child reads in
class. This point has been mis-
understood, they say, by critics
who seem to think that the child
never learns anything but what's
in his basic reader.
What can parents do to help
prepare the pre-schooler for
reading7 Here are a few things
mentioned in the booklet:
Encourage him in self-re-
lance and solving his own pro-
blems.
Teach him to listen and
follow simple directions.
Read aloud to him, get him
interested in words on signs and
labels.
Answer his questions or
show him how to answer them
for himself.
Don't talk baby-talk to him.
Do use English words and
phrases that are accurate and
specific.
Provide books that will in
terest him.
Check with his teacher for
further suggestions.
A copy of "Your Child and
Reading" can be obtained from

ton. Simply, write NEA, Wash
ington 6, DC. and enclose ten

Farm Income For '62
Shows No Increase
w. T. McAllister
Extension Economist
University of Delaware

on an annual basis does not
seriously change the income
flow from agriculture--a poor
year in one commodity is us
ually offset with an above aver
age year in another.
Looking ahead into 1868, there
is nothing which would mater
tally alter the agricultural pic
ture for the county. A cash
farm income of between % to
"a million dollars is expected
in 1868. This would be a small
gain over 1862. The income
will be divided between a few
less farmers than last year
as the trend toward fewer but
larger and more efficient farm
business units will continue into
next year and into the fore
seeable future. This trend of
fewer but larger farms should
not be looked upon as cause
for alarm, either by farm or
nonfarm people. 1t is typical
of economic growth and is about
the same kind and of the same
magnitude as is taking place
constantly in the non-farm sec
tor.
Kent County has approxi-
mately $50 full-time CONNER
cial farms which means that
each farmer on the average can
expect a gross cash farm
income of around $4,000. Be-
tween rs and 80 percent of
this he will spend for produc-
tion items, most of which will
be purchased through local Kent
County businesses. AS a rule,
the average farmer retains
about fourth of his gross
earnings as payment for his
labor and management which
he uses for family living and
debt retirement. Large pro-
fit opportunities in farming
are somewhat limited yet farm
ers with good farms that are
well equipped and well managed,
can earn a. very satisfactory
and dependable income. In this
respect, farming as a business
does not differ much from other
businesses.
Agriculture in Kent County
will continue to be major i'm
portance in the total economy of
the county. Agriculture and in
dustrial development will serve
to complement each other. In
dustrial development will pro-
vide some farmers that have
limited resources and ability
and are finding it difficult to
make an adequate living on their
farms, the opportunity to take
off-farm jobs, either full or
part-time. Also, 1t provides
employment opportunity for
rural young people who other
wise wouldneed to pull up stakes

The leprechauns do all sorts Of tricky things,
none Of them bad but all Of them designed to plague
the new human occupants. For instance making hot

tenants it meant spending the night the rounded
