Family field trips
Enjoy a free family field trip with
your children. You needn't go far:.
take in a community band concert;
stop to watch a cement mixer or bull-
dozer working, go outside at night to
look at the stars; visit a bakery, florist
or pet shop; watch airplanes taking off
and landing at the airport.
Why raislm dante
Raisins dance because they're buoy-
ant.
The old dancing raisin trick can
help your child learn a new word. Drop
a few raisins in a cup of clear carbon-
ated soda water. They'll rise to the
surface and then sink. Ask ~your child
to figure out why the raisins dance.
Your child might notice that bubbles
stick to the raisins. The bubbles help
raisins float to the top. When the
bubbles pop, down go the raisins. Help
your child look up the word buoyancy
in the dictionary.
(From the Well-Centered Child)

FSA News
By Jim Pemulek, ]ewell County ~^ Virector
USDA designated four counties in
Kansas as primary agricultural disas-
ter
~ec~ties of Dickinson, Jewell
and Republic are designated as pri-
mary disaster areas because of dam-
ages and losses caused by high winds,
hail, rain and flooding that occurred
May 9 and June 22 and 23. Also eli-
gible because they are contiguous are
the counties of Clay, Cloud, Geary,
Marion, McPherson, Mitchell, Morris,
Osborne, Ottawa, Saline, Smith and
Washington.
Morton County is also designated
as a primary disaster area because of
drought and high winds that occurred
Jan. 1 and continuing. Also eligible
because they are contiguous are Stanton
and Stevens Counties.
These counties were designated on
Oct. 20, making all qualified farm op-
erators eligible for low-interest emer-
gency loans from the Farm Service
Agency, provided eligibility require-
ments are met. Farmers in eligible
counties have eight months from the
date of the declaration to apply for the
loans to help cover part of their actual
losses.
USDA has also made other pro-
grams available to assist farmers and
ranchers, including the Emergency
Conservation Program, Federal Crop
Insurance and the Noninsured Crop
Disaster Assistance Program.
Interested farmers may contact their
local FSA Service Centers for further
information on eligibility requirements
and application procedures for these
and other programs.
