This is part of a national erosion study that is being carried out throughout the country, reports-Warren M. Archibald, district conservationist. SCS technicians in Lan caster County are visiting random 100-acre plots that have been selected to in sure uniformity of the sampling throughout the USA. They will record land use data from these plots. They will also check three randomly selected points within each plot and record different types of in formation, such as the type of cover, slope, kind of soil, and conservation practices. According to Warren M. Archibald, all this in formation will be com puterized at Ames, lowa.

For this reason, he has compiled a circular to help Delaware farmers plan their production strategy for next year. Entitled “Representative Break- Even Prices for Com and Soybeans at Various Yields, Land Values and Size of Operations,” the circular is intended as a guide to both fanners and agricultural industry personnel. Based on the information included in this publication, Delaware com and soybean farmers should be able to compute their own production costs and break even prices. A worksheet for this purpose is included at the end of the circular. Farmers wishing to receive copies of German’s publication should write to Carl German at the University of Delaware or their local county extension agent’s office in Georgetown, Dover or Newark, Del. 107
