And always be dear about the behavior you expect. Give your child specifics. Talk about things to see and look for. If you can, look at a book about the subject before you go. Take along a pad and pencil so you and your children can make notes or drawings of things you see. After your tnp, talk about what you’ve seen and done. Talk about each other’s reactions and about the things you liked best. What was funny? What was surprising or interesting? What was the best part? These are the things that bind families together. way of looking at a problem from several different perspectives "With this Center we are providing the opportunity for a coordinated group of scientists to work as a research team seeking solutions to complex problems rather than as individuals pur suing the objective of a single discipline,” Harris said This program will build upon that which has existed at Wye since 1966. The research ac complishments at this site have included the development of no tillage agricultural systems and the successful breeding of wheat, soybean and strawberry plant vaneities. Six areas of research will fall under the Center’s program They are: * Integrated Peat Management, m which scientists will study biological, chemical and cultural methods of pest control. In ad dition, they will examine the economic, factors and en vironmental effects of pest control to determine the most efficient control methods in crop ap plications. * Cattle Breeding and Genetics, in which animal scientists will continue their studies of the world famous Wye Angus Herd. * Plant Genetics and Breeding, m which agronomists, botanists and horticulturists will attempt to breed plants with characteristics suitable for Maryland crop growers, establishing new plant germ plasm for disease-resistance UPPER MARLBORO, MD.

In addition to the Maryland Cooperative Ex tension Service, the- Center will have access to the resources of the Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies and Wye Institute for this important aspect of the program. "The Center is ideklly suited to provide information to large numbers of people who need, and are ’requesting, this information," Hams said. "This is an ever-growing group which includes Maryland farmers, consumers, agnbusmessmen and women, scientists, students and policy makers,” Hams said.
