WELL KNOWN BANKER
 BOOSTS FOR STATEHOOD

ANCHORAGE - Declaring that the United States should be re- questing Alaska to become a state instead of allowing the people of the Territory to petition for that status. Elmer Rasmuson, President UI the Bank o Alaska and the Bank of Wrangell tossed the mat ter into the lap of a Congressional committee last week end and said the nation should be "chagrined by the fact that Alaska has re- mained a Territory so long"
 Rasmuson based his remarks on the premise that the nation would benefit by having Alaska state. He said that the Territorial sys- tenn is based on the principle that the Territory will eventually be- come a state.
 Will Aid Nation
 He cited various reasons for es- tablishing a state here, pointing out that the military program would be aided, a strong civilian economy would be established ana Alaska as a recreational area IS unsurpassed.
 Anything that makes for stronger economic unit bolsters the nation" he said We know now that only the strong will survive
 Figures quoted as to the ex- penses of statehood are only esu- mates. I believe Alaska can pay for statehood and would suggest that we tailor our costs to our in come.
 'I have found in the banking business that when you have sound proposition you can usually find a way to finance it. So it is with a state. We shouldn't stress too much the cost of a paramount right It is something like mar riage Those of us who have mar rIed never let the question of costs bother us much. We just got mar ried and did the best We could.%
 In answer to question, Ras muson said statehood would en- courage the flow of new capitol to Alaska for the development ofI new enterprises, a factor that lsI essential for the Territory.
 Every new land needs moreI capital than it has available" he declared ''I want it on record that am in favor of more capital Bon.- ing to Alaska. We have more 1e- 'nands than we can fulfill locally

PHILADELPHIA Ever won
der about the little things tnat
made Ty Cobb great baseball
player.
There are few pointers the one
time Georgia Peach passed along
in letters to Philadelphia Athletic
Outfielder Sam Chapman during
Chapman's trying days as rookie:
"You will be bothered for awhlle
nv tall stands and shadows, also
sun fields and back grounds when
batting. =.
Get lots of fielding practice
with the glasses, and you Will be
OK in a short time. -.
lyon will have several that Will
want to help you and they are sin
cere, but different minds some
times muddle things.
Get before mirror and see how
you look. =.
"Teo much hitting can be bad.
When you are meeting the ball we'll,
one after another, stop.
Don't take strikes. Ask Mr.. Mack
manager Connie) to let you hit
the first good one for awhile. You
may unconsciously be using a sys-
tenn of taking a first strike and
other teams know that. Never lei
them figure you out. Cross them up
Always keep in an aggressive
state of mind.
"One other important thing
Don't guess what the next bal
will be. You will sort of know wha
is coming by figuring your pitches
and the balls and strikes on you
But never guess.
I'm your practice, try a littl'
more weight on your forward foot
keep back leg straight. If you tr.
\ this, am sure you will get results
and weight ON forward foot will
make you step in correctly.
ALSO, do not stride too lone
and keep, your power im hand at al
times-I mean for any kind of pitc
and you won't pull away with an
part of the body.
''Decoy the pitcher by trying t
convey to him that you aim to TAX
the next pitch. And. remember, tn
catcher is watching you, and give
the signals; SO start your deco
work for his benefit as the pitche
starts to get ready-then take you
crack at the ball. :.
Keep your elbows away from tn
body"
The former scrouge of America
League pitchers added this post
script:
Forget yesterdays; don't wol
ry. Just do your best

DELAWARE FARM FRONT

For early potato production, h.
P. Brasher, extension horticulturist,
lists eight practices which have
been substantiated by research
findings at the University of Della
ware Experimental Farm:
/. Plant Irish CObbler or Katha-
din varieties.
2. Complete paintings by second
week of April.
8. Plant potatoes IL inches apart
in the row and three feet between
rows.
4. Plant seed pieces four inches
deep.
5. Use seed pieces with a mini
mum weight of one and One-half
ounces. When this size piece is US
ed, 2212 bushels will plant one acre.
6. Apply 4-8-12 fertilizer. If not
available use a 5-10-10 or a 4-12-8.
Z. FertiliZe at the rate of 1900
] pounds to the acre.
8. Apply fertilizer in bands two

During the past year, SIG dairy
bulls used in dairy herd improve

country were proved by the milk

In all, "a states were represented
with one or more proved bulls. Six
bulls were proved in Delaware.

says that it will take many more

generally to improve their herds
very fast.

The annual meeting and dinner
of the Delaware Farm Bureau will
be held at the Dover Public schools
on Wednesday, February II, at $50
p. m.
Raymond Ogg, head of the Wash
ingtOn office of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, will be the
speaker. Mr.. Ogg is the Farm Bu-
reau representative in Washington
and has done an outstanding job of
representing the farmers interest
before legislative committees.
Designed to give dairy farmers
confidence in their economic Sc
curity in the months and years
ahead, long-range dairy program
has been prepared jointly by the
Dairy Industry Committee and the
Department of Agriculture.
Awaiting only final editing, the
program will be presented soon to
State and Federal agricultural
agencies, farm organizations and
dairy industry groups for the best
use which can be made of it.
From the standpoint of stimu-
lating efficient milk production, the
new programs objective will be
the same as that of the old 8-point
program calling for higher quail
ity, improved feeding and breeding
and so on.
1t will differ, however, through
inclusion of some new economic
considerations.
You will hear more about the
new program later. These points il
the program will be developed as
reasons why farmers should keel
up their milk production:
/. Uses for dairy products are
increasing.
2. Income from milk, compared
with other farm products is leas
susceptible to extreme price de
clines.
3. Demand for dairy products
is closely related to income.
A. Dairy products consumption
has shown steady increase per cap
ita.
5. Per capita income has out
run milk production.
6. Production of dairy product
has not kept pace with production
of some other foods.
z. Dairy products rank high a
source of farm cash income.
s. Dairy products expenditure
require small proportion of con
sumer income.
, 9. Dairy industry provides stabl
employment.
} 10. Stability in dairy industr
contributes to employment in othe
industries.
, II Need for reducing seasons
variation in milk production.
II. Cow numbers for milk pre-
duction per cow are basic. 9Th
major factor likely to limit mil
production during 1947 is the nun
ber of COWS on farm.)
