Delaware Soybean Board.
Mary Workman collected the
most votes in Sussex County
winning a 3-year term on the

About 10 percent of the states

ment of Environmental Resources
(DEK) recently completed an
extensive study of the Octoraro
and its significance.
The study cited the fact that the
watershed embraced some of the
state’s most valuable and
productive farmland. Eour
covered bridges, all of which are
on the National Register of
Histone places, span its waters.
And nearby is the former Woods
Chromite Mine, which was once
the source of almost ail of the
world’s chrome ore.
•For these and many other
reasons, the Octoraro has been
given top priority as a candidate
for the scenic nvers system,”
Wenger said. "The idea also
received a big boost from the
Lancaster County Planning
Commission, agricultural and
environmental organizations, and
other individuals and groups,” he
noted.

their ballots during the recent
election, according to Soybean
Board Chairman John Hastings.
This year, the Delaware Soybean
Board is providing funds for eleven
market development and research
projects that directly benefit
Delaware producers. The funds
are collected through a check-off
system, that enables farmers to
finance their own self help
programs. A total of $59,500. was
granted for projects in 1983.
To earn a place in the state’s scenic
river system, a stream
must have unusual qualities in at
least one of five basic
classifications, Wenger said. The
Octoraro rated “outstanding" in
both the scenic and pastoral
categories.
The lawmaker said the bill
authorizing the Octoraro’s
designation will assure the free
flowing character of the stream.
"No dams will be permitted, and
all state agencies will be required
to do whatever they can to con
serve and protect its pastoral and
scenic qualities and its historic
character,” he said.
He emphasized that the scenic
river designation will not affect
existing property rights. Lan
downers will be free to use their
land as they wish, although they
will be encouraged to follow
practices in keeping with the
scenic river guidelines.
