so easy to come by as one might
think. Carl found that almost
the total supply of salt from sea
water is evaporated in the Carib-
bean area. The sea Is allowed to
flood shallow flats, and the trop-
ical sun does the evaporating.
He thinks that at one time sea
salt was used principally as a
source of iodine, and that the To-
dine was extracted from the nat
ural salt and was added to salt
mined and refined for table use.
About the only use for sea salt
nowadays is to pack sea food for

Last weeks cold wave undoubt-
edly damaged some tender shoots
and precocious buds. 1t couldn't
be prevented nor could all of the
plants be protected. There was
much wishful thinking and hoping
that we would not have a killing

will be some time before the full
effects can be known.
Members of the United States
Department of Agriculture Garden
Club reported on their experiences
with several of the new vegetable
varieties. Topcrop snap bean re-
ceived very favorable comment.
The high yields and disease re-
siStance were noted in most of
those giving it a trial in 1949.
Some reported that because the
crop ripened within a compara-
lively short period it would be of
outstanding value for canning.
There was some disagreement as
to quality. A few reported it
excellent; others thought it no
better than tendergreen; while still
others stated they found it lacking
in this respect.
The Southland tomato, a new
variety resistant to late blight,
received rather diverse ratings on
nealry every score, i. e., some rated
1t highly: others, average, and a
few poor. 1t may have been par

Judgment should be reserved until
further trials.
Triumph lima bean scored a
little better than Southland to-
mato. although, because of its
small size dts baby lima) sew
eral reporters were willing to-
forego quality to have bean that
is easier to pick and shell. Other
wise, yields and health of plant
were, in general. good to excellent.
Two reported that Fordhook 242
gave better yields.
Pen Wonder pepper received
very diverse comments. Some
were highly favorable, although
the fruits were generally found to
be small and to turn red too
quickly, but the long bearing sea-,
son and earliness of harvest i'm
pressed most gardeners who
tried it.
1t is we'll to keep in mind that
this was first time for growing
these crops and in many cases the
gardeners were comparing them
with varieties which they had
been growing for some time and
had learned how best to handle.
Their ideas of flavor were based
on past experiences. Further
more, the plants were grown
under widely varying soil and cul-
tural conditions which would nat
urally give different results.
A suggested list of good gladi-
oluS varieties for this area comes
from a gardener who enjoys quail
ity flowers: Big Top, Burma, Co.
roma, Elizabeth the Queen, Gla-
mis-, Leading Lady. Pink Radi-
ance, Stoplight, Shirley Temple.
White Gold. Candy Heart and
Radiant. For good measure,
Kewpie, a lovely little miniature,
might be added.
The Buddleia should be cut back
severely at this season if compact
bushy shrubs are desired. The
butterfly bush produces it's bloom
on new growth which is stimu-
lated by heavy pruning and lib
eral feeding.
Most = of the new named |
varieties are comparatively low
growing and offer a wide range of |
colors. The strong growing spe-
cies, B. davidi, is too big for the |
smaller yard. For the situations
requiring smaller plants the fol-
lowing varieties are suggested:
Daybreak. Empire Blue, Orchid

and Pink Charming.

Beware OF Drinking
while DRIVING

Phoenix police have begun using
the drunkometer on motorists sus-
pected of drinking.
The order to put the machine
into use was handed down by City
Manager Ray w. Wilson.
Assistant City Attorney George
Fike pointed out that although no
person could be forced to subject
himself to a drunkometer test, the
fact that he might refuse could
be introduced as evidence at a
trial.
During the first stages of oper-
alton, officials said, blood test
will also be given each willing
motorist to "substantiate the ac-
curacy" of the meter.
The apparatus measures the al
cohol content of the breath.
The blood test, used effectively
by state and county law enforce
ment officers measures the alco-
holic content of the blood.
The device will be operated by

Ethiopia Gets
Loon To Rebuild
Road System

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
The International Bank for Re-
construction and Development has
made two loans totalling 100000
to Ethiopia, it was announced
last Friday.
One loan for $5,OO0,O0O will be
used for the rehabilitation and
maintenance of the country's road
system. The other for $2,000,000
will provide foreign exchange for
products to be financed by new
Ethiopian development bank.
After approval by the banks ex-
ecutive directors, the loan agree
ments were signed on September
13 by Alto Menassie Lemma, Vice
Minister of Finance, on behalf of
the Ethiopian Government, and by
Eugene r. Black, president, on
behalf of the international Bank.
The signing took place in Paris
where the Board of Governors of
the bank were holding its fifth an
nual meeting.
The two loans are the first the
bank has made to any nation in
Africa. They are also the first to
have been negotiated in the bor-
rowing country. The bank sent a
mission to Ethiopia to survey the
economy of the country last spring
and negotiations were conducted
during August. A third loan is still
under discussion.
Both the present loans are for
a term of twenty years. They
carry interest at the rate of 3
per cent, plus commission at the
rate of / per cent year which
is allocated to the banks special
reserve fund. Amortization pay
ments, intending to retire the
loan by maturity will begin in
1856.
A spokesman for the bank said
road transport is vital to both the
internal and foreign trade of Ethi-
opia. A large part Of the country's
export goods move by truck for
part or all of the way to Red Sea
ports. The railway from Adds
Abadaba to Dijibouti is also served
by feeder roads on which both
export and import goods are NOV
ed by truck to and from main
stations.
Approximately one third of the
mileage of Ethiopia's main high
ways is said to have deteriorated
to a point where major repair is
Immediately needed, and better
maintenance is required on the
other two-thirds to avoid similar
serious deterioration.
In order to repair and maintain
the national road system, the Ethi-
opian Government will establish
a highway authority, and, in con-
sultation with the international
Bank, will select competnet man.
agement.
The proceeds of the $5,000,0O0
loan will be used to finance the
foreign exchange cost of equip
ment, supplies and services re-
quired for a program planned by
the highway authority.
