COMMUNICATIONS

The following poem come from
Mrs. Estella Wilcutts, a patient in
the Milford Memorial Hospital:
"The Sympathetic Tree"
I'm only little Christmas tree
But | came to visit today
And I'll try so hard to cheer you
up
And to drive all your blues away.
For | know you have a broken hip
But you are no worse off than |
Two years ago some young coun-
try folks
Cut my head off-and did | sigh.
But around my neck new heads
appeared
And then I bushed out full and
round
And this Christmas I'm ont to visit
Believe il or mott am sound.
When able to leave room three
naught four
And your leg is normal again
Please visit the place from which
| came
Down that old huckleberry lane

EVEN A GOOD POTATO
CAN'T DO 1T ALL

New potato varieties in Delaware
have established themselves with
many farmers, reports e. P. Brasil
er, extension hOrticulturist for the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. But potato growers make
"a mistake in growing the new
varieties in the same old way. This
is one reason why now and then
one of the new ones does not take
on as fast as it should. When a
farmer begins growing a recon-
mended new one, Brasher calls at
tention to the fact he will do well
to find out what it's cultural
peculiarities are so he can cater to
them
Because a new variety is known
to be resistant to an important dl-
sase, many growers conclude there
is no need to spray. Result: what
ever susceptibility there is let's IN
the disease and some other diseases
too may make the most OF the op-
portunity. Some varieties require
wider spacing than others or may
do with narrower. Disregard OF
such factors means neglect OF op-
portunity. Some require more care
full handling than others and, II
they don't get it, there is excessive
loss in storage and the tubers lose
sale appeal. Some do best if planted
earlier than the best time for old
variety and some prefer warmer
bed to start in.
Scientists in the National Potato
Breeding Program say the new
potato Sebago, introduced in 1898,
has so many resistances and other
good points that it has been used IN
rlaces where no potato could be
expected to produce we'll. AS re-
suit of abounding good qualities
therefore, Sebago has suffered a
setback in popularity i'll some Sec
tions that is undeserved.
The specialists say no potato Is
good enough to hoe its own row.

The flood was chOked Off abrupt
ly in midsummer, but not before
scores of concerns had refunded
securities at lower cost and ac-
quired funds for postwar expan-
sion programs.
At the year-end signs multiplied
that new financing, often termed
a barometer of national economic
well-being, was on the up-turn
again.
The early-1946 climb in bond
prices was accompanied by a cat
and-dog fight between the Treas
ury and the Federal Reserve Board
over the question of allowing in
terest rates to drop still further
or to call a turn in a decade-long
trend. The Treasury wanted the
rate to remain low in order to pay
as little as possible in interest
charges on huge public debt
The Federal Reserve saw low rates
as highly combustible initiation
fuel.
When the smoke cleared away
government bond prices were or
the way down-and interest rates
on the way up.
The price pattern followed by
government bonds more or less
established the route taken by
corporate issues through the year
Governments reached peak il
April, slid steadily downward fol
nearly two months, steadied brief
ly before dropping to a low fol
the year in September. and ther
again steadied.
Milford chronicle., 1946-12-27

Government financing policy
seems a remote affair to the man in
the street. Sooner OF later, though,
the farmer with a mortgage, the
widow with a pension, the busi-
nessman with money to invest,
the owner of an insurance policy,
the tax payer all feel the impact
of what the government decides to
do about interest rates.
Government issues held by banks
form the basis for tremendous
credit expansion and policy now
shifting the debt as much as poss-
ible from the banks to individuals
and other investors.
Such process would kill two
birds with one stone-the banks
would be deprived of the means
of undue credit expansion and
some of the excess funds in the
hands of the public would be sop
ped up.
The market for new corpora.
ton bonds ran headlOng into the
stone wall of buying apathy soor
after some of the most advantag
eOus capital ventures in history
had been cOnsummated.

had done a land-office business
