More Money For
Country Banks

/ WASHINGTON -(P)- War time
initiation funneled a lot of money
into grass roots" banks-country
banks patrOnized by farmers. That
the conclusion of Fred L. Garlock,
economist for the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Garlock says the more industri-
alizatiOn and cOmmercialization
there was in an area, the smaller
was the gain in bank deposits.
He points to the one time dust
bowl country as his top example.
In that region, where farmers are
the mainstay, bank deposits are
five times what they were before
the war.
Garlock studied u S. bank depo-
sits for the years 1940-48. He found
that by 1948 bank deposits in the
farming communities were almost
four times what they were before
the war. But in the large industrial
centers they were only about 2 and
one third times the pre- war total.
In New York City, the largest fin
ancial center, they were only IL
times the 1910 total.
He gives these reasons, among
others, for the gain in country
bank deposits.
1. Farm income increased rela-
lively more during the war than
did national income as a whole.
2. Farmers holdings of LIQUID fin
ancial assets Currency, bank de-
posits and United States saving
bonds) increased relatively more
than did the holdings of all indivi-
duals and businesses.
But now he says conditions are
changing and the inflationary
period appears near an end.
He adds that in years of "reces-
sion," after the first World War.
deposits flowed in large volume
from agricultural areas to finan-
cial centers.
Such an effert can be cushioned
/ by moving more industries to the
country communities, he saws. Civ
ing smaller towns and cities 4
greater share Of the gains from in
dustrialization.
Garlock says the country banks
appear to be in good condition and
that a substantial part of their as
sets could be converted quickly to
cash.
This means that unless a very
serious emergency arises the banks
won't have to call upon their bor-
rows to pay up loans, Garlock saws.
In past depressions the sudden
call for payment of farm loans has
increased the trouble.
Again he points to the former
dust bowl as an example. He saws
the farmers Of the Great Plains not
only have built up their bank depo-
sits to an unusually high level but
also have been among the largest
buyers of government savings
{ bonds.

Happenings In State

Preparations for the general as
sessment of real estate throughout
Kent County for taxation purposes
is now in progress and is expected
to cover all property in the county
before it is completed.
In accordance with existing law,
next year is a general assessment
year for the county, but the Levy
Court, deciding not to wait until
the start of the year to get the
work underway, has instructed the
Board Of Assessment to get started
now.
The Board of Assessment will
work on one district at time until
it has covered the entire county in
its review of existing property valu-
alton.
To aid them in this work the
board is procuring the assistance of
two clerks from each district; to
aid in obtaining information con-
cerning property within the dis
trict. Under this plan new clerks
will be procured each time work is
started on new district.
International Latex Corporation
is constructing a large addition to
its Playtex Park building in Dover,
the project being one of number
of commercial expansion develop
ments in the Dover area.
Other construction projects in
clude the partially completed build
ing for the Delaware Trust Com
pany, and the automobile sales and
service building which is being
erected for J. Gordon Smith.
Preliminary preparations have
been made for the enlargement of
the Dover store of Sears, Roebuck
and Company, and work on this
project is expected to start soon.
When completed the enlarged store
will have more than triple the
amount of sales space as the pres
ent store.
Completion of the Smith build
ing, at the intersection of New and
Loockerman streets, is expected
within five or six weeks. It will be
/ one of the largest automobile build
1ngs south of Wilmington.
Judge Charles L. Terry in Gener-
al Sessions Court at GEORGETOWN
last Friday freed two 'men of no.
tato larceny charges on a motion by
their attorneys.
In dismissing the case against
Nathan Sipple of Wyoming and
Walter Louis Marryat of Rehoboth.
charged with the larceny of DO
tatOes valued at $51 last July from
the USDA potato distributing CEN
ter at MillsbOrO, the court held that
the state had not furnished sufi-
cient proof of title or ownership of
the potatoes in question.
dt was pointed out by the state
that potatoes bought from farmers
at market prices, under the USDA
price support plan, are made avail
able for livestock feeding purposes
at small cost.
In order to prevent resale on the
Market the potatoes are dyed a
harmless dye. In presenting it's
case, the state charged that Sipple
stopped at the center, represented
himself as a farmer and obtained
81 bags of potatoes. These were
loaded on trucks driven by himself
and Marryat.
The state alleged that the men
left with the potatoes before one
truck load could be dyed. An inves-
tigatiOn conducted by Special Agent
Wurfel of the USDA and State PO-
lice led. to the arrest of the two
men. Howard w. Bramhall and
Robert Tunnel were the attorneys
for the defense.
